Logo: Over a strike of lightning, we see two golden parallelograms quickly zoom out on a black background, which reveal to be a stylized "N" inside an oval also outlined in gold. the words:

NASH
E N T E R T A I N M E N T

fade in below and the text shines.

Trivia: The logo was produced by G Man Productions and Kelly Shelly Design on September 13, 1994. (this is known because you can see a frame of the logo's production slate before the logo appears on the CBS special 50 Years of Soaps: An All Star Celebration)

Variants:
  • An updated version has most of the logo being smaller in size (except "ENTERTAINMENT", which is bigger), with a reflection below, and with a green aura around the stylized "N" tilted towards the right.
  • Sometimes, the words "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" (in white) appear below the logo.
  • A still in-credit variant exists.
  • Another in-credit variant exists, but only with the name of the production company.

FX/SFX: The lightning strike, the zooming out, and the shining.

Music/Sounds: There were several themes throughout this logo's lifetime:
  • 1994-1995(?): A thunderclap-like whoosh sound.
  • 1995-1996(?): A whoosh, then a calm synth tune, with four drumbeats at the end.
  • 1996- : Same as before, but the whoosh has been changed to a zap sound.
  • NBC airings of World's Amazing Videos used a generic theme.
Availability: Common. It debuted on the CBS special 50 Years of Soaps: An All-Star Celebration. It is currently seen on (Top 20) Most Shocking and Most Daring on truTV. The IAW variant can seen on the original NBC and Spike TV prints on World's Most Amazing Videos. This logo also appears on some TV specials from time to time. Was also seen on the 2003 version of Dance Fever and on Breaking the Magician's Code: Magic's Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed.

Editor's Note: None.
