1st Logo (May 29-December 3, 1999)


Visuals: On a beige background, "BMA" emerges from it and zooms back. It then changes to red and an underline appears below it. A quick-moving red streak then brings up the Chinese and English company name. Chinese text "亞洲第一 最重製作" then fades in below.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A quiet swish, followed by a very high-pitched screech, that sounds like an eagle's cry, a sword clashing each other, or similar to the sound when using the Limit Break in Final Fantasy VIII.

Availability: May be seen on BMA movies during 1999, such as The Lord of Amusement and The King of Debt Collecting Agent.

2nd Logo (October 14, 2000-February 14, 2001)

Transparent big copies of another "BMA" zoom out and rotate, as later everything else turns to black and two semi-circular shapes appear fading in and rotating in between the text. Once everything takes place, a light comes from a corner of the logo and brings up a red sphere with a circular silver border. The Chinese company name, in red, and the English company name, in white, fade in respectively.
