Henley House Entertainment

Background
Henley House Entertainment was a website and production company operated by Tammy Henley, Rachel Hodge, Morgan Friedman and Justin Cavillero. It was formed from the merger of Henley's Evil Eggplant Productions and Hodge's Rahoe Media. Along with hosting content from web reviewers, the site also operated "New Divergents", dedicated to promoting autism awareness, hosting pro-autism charities and promoting autistic creators, while criticizing Autism Speaks for its negative treatment of the disorder. Henley House lasted until 2015, following the murder of Henley, Hodge, Friedman, Darryl Costanzo, Cavillero and Henley's parents Clyde and Melissa by Timothy Hughes. The channel and website were inherited by Henley's uncle Booth Henley, who continues the autism advocacy operations of the site and had worked with WrongPlanet founder Andrew Plank on highlighting industry creatives on the spectrum; the name Henley House was kept in memoriam of Henley.

3rd Logo (2012)
Logo: This is a parody of the Video Classics Gold logo, featuring the following eight logos zooming back in an outlined square.


 * Evil Eggplant Productions: Henley's production company.
 * Y2B Productions: The production company of Chris Bores, aka the Irate Gamer. This is a variation of a logo used on his original channel of the same name.
 * Sam T. Productions: The production company of Sam T. Nelson. The logo also animates normally.
 * ETF Films: The production company of Ed Findlay, known on YouTube as RetroGamer3.
 * Mighty Noid Entertainment: The production company of Ed Prin-Stairs, known as Spax3.
 * The Net Dwellers: Website formerly run by Megan Wessels, known as the FanFic Critic.
 * The Game Toon Zone: Website operated by Prin-Stairs.
 * Reviewtopia: Review hosting website.

After all of the logos come into view, the Henley House Entertainment logo flips in and begins to spin around. It zooms forward as everything around it blacks out. It becomes stationary and zooms back to a comfortable distance. The site's URL fades in below.

FX/SFX: Same as the Video Classics Gold logo, that is to say the logos zooming back and the flipping effects of the Henley House logo.

Music/Sounds: Same as the Video Classics Gold logo, more specifically, "Protopulse" by Trevor Bastow, followed by an announcer (Justin Cavillero in a faux Australian accent) saying "More quality reviews, from Henley House Entertainment"

Availability: It was only seen on the final episode of The Game Merchant.

Editor's Note: An interesting take on a familiar logo from the 80s. This was otherwise made to highlight the video's collaborators.
