Narrative:

I complied with an ETOPS check for an airbus 330, for trans-atlantic service. Upon signing off 2 pages of logbook items and the airworthiness block, I neglected to make an entry for maintenance accomplishment of ETOPS check and the appropriate action taken and required signoff as per ETOPS check card. Note: the logbook write-ups and ETOPS check were addressed/complied with. Aircraft was dispatched under nominal conditions save for the omitted written ETOPS complied/entry/signoff in the logbook. This omission was not discovered until after the aircraft was dispatched and en route for europe, perhaps 1/2 hour after dispatch. For whatever an excuse, I neglected this requirement and can see any future times pertaining to this like situation to be ensconced in memory and not fail in administering this requirement.
