1st Leader Entertainment

Background: 1st Leader (also called 1lead and Slodr Entertainment) started in 2007 as Slodr Entertainment when it owned the former video company Slodr Vision. In 2009, Slodr Entertainment was renamed to 1st Leader and started expanding throughout the other American states, the UK, the Netherlands, France, New Zealand and Australia. Shortly, they started owning companies like Fusor (UK), TCB (Netherlands), uNeon (Canada/USA), and Termen-Barner (France), and fused Termen-Barner and the television division of uNeon, forming 1st Leader Television. Currently the company distributes (and occasionally produces) movies, HV, television (under the brand 1st Leader Television) and video game releases.

1st Logo

(Late 2009-2010)

Nicknames: "LED 1L", "An E1 Entertainment Rip-Off!"

Logo: In a blue space background, we see a blue-tinted Earth, with a strange figure standing on it. We move and rotate to see that it's the word "1L", which is made of a bold outline and white LED lights. The logo gets boxed in while "ENTERTAINMENT" fades in below.

Variants:

There is a print version of the logo seen on handheld video-games, mostly from movies/TV shows licensed by 1L.

A short version exists, mostly appearing on TV specials and some PSP games.

FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: Nice CGI, but rip-offs the early E1 logo however.

Music/Sounds: A majestic but calm fanfare.

Availability: Rare due to it's short life-span, but can be found on the first 1L distributed/licensed releases such as Rope. Print version, as said in the Variants section, appears only on Nintendo DS and (a few) PSP releases from them, including Supas Games & Fun!. Short version appeared on the Supas: I Am The King special episode, and Raining On The Desert: Chapter I for PS3 and PSP.

Scare Factor: Minimal. The fanfare is quite loud but not creepy at all.

2nd Logo

(2010-)

Nickname: "1lead"

Logo: On a black background, we see dark water. A sphere raises up from it, while a light appears and starts to illuminate it from behind. The sphere transforms into a 1, and the light shines even more to form a rounded square behind it. "lead" fades in above the 1, then "1st leader entertainment" fades in below.

FX/SFX: The sphere raising, the light, the transformation, and fading. Seems still like a rip-off of the E1 logo.

Music/Sounds: Same as before.

Availability: Common. It's found on all post-2010 1L-licensed movies, TV specials (including those of Magazine Silk and Shine From Behind) and videogames. Also appears on their DVDs/Blu-Rays, which are distributed on the PSN countries, especially the US, Canada and the UK.

Scare Factor: Minimal. Not a very dark logo.
