King Features Entertaiment Logo History (#86)

So well, the first logo history in 2026 kind get some mistake due to connection signal, so forgive me of that...

After licensing films to other studios prompted King Features Syndicate to destroy the negatives within ten years, King Features Syndicate branched out on its own, setting up its own film and television subsidiary in 1960 with Al Brodax as head of the studio. His first projects were Popeye the Sailor, with 200 new shorts, as well as a contract with Paramount Cartoon Studios and other studios. Brodax quit in 1969, and shut down its film and TV division for good, and licensing products to other studios.
King Features Entertainment was originally formed in 1980 as Novacom, Inc. by Bruce Paisner and PBS station WGBH Boston to distribute television movies for syndication. The company itself was sold to The Hearst Corporation in 1981 and was renamed to King Features Entertainment. In 1983, it absorbed the assets of PolyGram Television into this company. It later signed on a relationship with Phoenix Entertainment Group, distributing telemovies internationally, and acquired it outright in 1989. In 1990, it was renamed to Hearst Entertainment. Hearst Communications sold its live-action Hearst Entertainment library to Lionsgate in 2015, and integrated Hearst's animated content library into King Features Syndicate.
When the original King Features Entertainment was absorbed into Hearst Entertainment, King Features Syndicate became a licensing entity, and remains a strip company. Once Hearst Entertainment was disposed in 2015, the company entered into animation production.
