Nicknames: "The E.T. Logo II", "Switch-Off", "The E.T. TV Tube", "E.T. on TV", "E.T. TV"
Logo: It starts out with the beginning of the standard Amblin Entertainment logo, but it's faster, the stripes don't slide in this time and doesn't has the strange shadow wipe effect. After the moon and the boy on the bicycle are in place, the rest of the logo (which at first, the "AMBLIN" text with the red/blue lines above and below it respectively, fades in first. Then the word, "TELEVISION" appears under it instead of "ENTERTAINMENT") fades in and the moon is surrounded by a TV screen with blue static. The TV screen then switches/turns off, and the rest of the logo fades away, leaving only a blank rounded rectangle.Variants:

  • A common variant starts with the logo already in place; the switch off is intact.
  • A still variant appears on Fudge, Terra Nova and season 2.
  • On Back to the Future - The Animated Series, the full animation of the logo, minus the switch-off part is shown on the top right corner along with the 1991 Universal Cartoon Studios logo on the top left, the Zaloom/Mayfield Productions logo on the bottom left, and the BIG Pictures logo on the bottom right.

  • On Family Dog, the full animation of the logo, minus the switch-off part was also shown on the right along with the 1985 Nelvana Limited logo on the left.
  • There is a print version of the logo where the moon is just the plain white circle. Also, the TV screen doesn't glow. This variant is shown on the left along with the Universal Cartoon Studios logo on the right on Opus n' Bill - A Wish for Wings that Work.
  • On Seasons 2 and 3 ofHarry and the Hendersons (The TV Series), it starts off with the boy in a bicycle and the moon already in place before the rest of the logo forms and the the switch-off part is not shown.
  • In the SeaQuest DSV video game, the print logo is put on a blue background along with the MCA/Universal Merchandising logo above it.
  • On HD prints of the 1998-99 fifth season and the 7th-13th seasons of ER, the 1991 version of this logo is cropped to 16:9 widescreen.
  • On shows starting with the 14th season of ER, the blue static in the logo looks more defined than before.
