1st Logo
(2002-2011)
Logo: On a stylized background with hills, grass and a barn nearby, we see an orange-brown waterwheel that makes filmstrips. A water wave appears below, with "MILL CREEK ENTERTAINMENT" on it.
FX/SFX: The waterwheel moving.
Music/Sounds: Some outdoor sounds. A few seconds later, a rooster crows.
Availability: Common. Seen on Mill Creek DVDs from 2002 to 2011.
Editor's Note: None
2nd Logo
(2011-2017)
Logo: A sky blue square flashes and zooms in quickly, simulating a TV being turned on. A series of static particles appear and then turn blue and white as they roll around and combine together. They then form a newer Mill Creek Entertainment logo, with a redesigned wheel, looking more like a gear, and the company name below in a different font. The logo slowly zooms in before it disappears in a TV switch-off effect.
Music/Sounds: A switch-on sound, an ascending droning noise, then a synth note and a switch-off sound.
Availability: Common. Seen on Mill Creek releases from 2011 to 2017 such as re-releases of That '70s Show and 3rd Rock from the Sun. Strangely, on some DVDs, the packaging may have this logo, but the previous logo appears on the DVD.
Editor's Note: None
3rd Logo
(2017-)
Logo: TBA
FX/SFX: TBA
Music/Sounds: A 5-note synth-violin tune with the first 3 notes sustained and the 4th and 5th note's sustainment slightly extended.
Availability: Current. Seen on all Mill Creek releases since 2017 starting with Osamu Tezuka's Metropolis (2003).
