Background

Astro Maya HD is a Malay-language television channel owned by Astro, launched on June 24, 2013. The channel airs Astro-produced dramas, reality shows, telemovies and entertainment shows. It was available on Astro channel 135.

The channel closed down on January 14, 2019 and was replaced with HD simulcasts of Astro Prima and Astro Oasis. However, on August 1, 2022, the channel was relaunched on Singapore via Singtel TV, and it can be seen on channel 609.

Logo (June 24, 2013-)

Visuals: A white triangle is first shown landing on a pink surface, which forms the letter "M". It then cuts to another shot of several white and silver triangles forming the letter "A", revealing the sequence is over a white background, as the camera rotates. This is followed by a titled overhead view of the triangles forming the previous two letters, forming the word "MA". Finally, the scene cuts to reveal that the triangles are forming "MAYA", all on a pink "wave curve" rectangle with "astro" above "MAYA", over a white-pink gradient background with pink waves behind. The rectangle zooms out and reveals the entire logo, with a small pink rectangle with "HD" inside, beside the rectangle. The Astro channel number, "SALURAN 135", in a white Century Gothic font, flips in vertically while its letters and numbers flashing through various letters and numbers before forming the word.

Variant: For breakbumpers, the logo (without "MAYA") simply flips in vertically two times into view on the ident's background, as "MAYA" forms itself below "astro". "HD" then flips in horizontally two times into view, alongside the channel number's usual animation.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A 30-note cheerful tune, with a synth note at the end, followed by beeping sounds from the channel number.

Audio Variant: For breakbumpers, the channel's theme is shortened.
