2nd logo (2000-????)
Logo: We see a strange-looking black CGI shape with steel gray on the 3D part slowly flips into place. The shape appears to be a sunrise-type shape with big, sharp rays. At first, the logo's on a black background, but then it gets covered/replaced by a sky blue background that flips out from the left. Finally, the words "STERLING HOME ENTERTAINMENT" (with "STERLING" larger than the rest of the letters) in black fly out and settle underneath the sunrise-like shape.
FX/SFX: The logo flipping out, the background replacement.
