Background

Contender Home Entertainment was the home video division of the Contender Entertainment Group formed in 2005 as part of a split between the company's home video and television divisions, with their TV division becoming Rubber Duck Entertainment.

In March 2009, Contender Home Entertainment was folded after CEG rebranded as E1 Entertainment UK (later Entertainment One UK), and from then-on, ex-Contender releases simply used regular E1/eOne logos.

Logo (7 February 2005-2009)

Visuals: Same as the 2005 Contender Entertainment Group logo, but the orange sun features a star inside the wheel. The end result is a print red star with the letter "C" on it and a red circle behind it. Below the "CONTENDER" text is the words "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" under it.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Same as the Contender Entertainment Group logo.

Availability: Can be found on Contender DVDs from this time.

Appears on Peppa Pig DVDs from "New Shoes and Other Stories" to "Stars".
Appears on select releases of 4Kids Entertainment shows such as Winx Club Volumes 1 and 2, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Volumes 1, 2, and 3, etc.
Some earlier releases such as Volumes 2-4 of Pokemon Chronicles have the logo on the packaging but use the previous logo on-screen.
DVD releases of Contender's theatrical releases instead use the Contender Films logo as a de-facto home video logo.
Later reprints of Peppa Pig releases plaster this logo with the Entertainment One logo.
