Background

Hotlink is the prepaid carrier of Malaysian telecommunications company Maxis.

1st Tag (2003-2005)

Visuals: On a red background is text reading "Hotlink" over a lime circle and with a red filling inside the "o". The URL and the Maxis logo can be seen at the bottom left and the bottom right of the screen respectively.

Variants:

On the Hotlink Football commercial, the logo spins and zooms from the screen as a few white streaks fly around it for a brief time. The text "Now available on 017" fades in beneath the logo, along with the URL and Maxis logo at their usual positions. A football flies in and hits and bounces off the "o" of the logo. The logo slowly rotates.
On a Chinese Activate Your Live commercial from 2005, the text "Aktifkan diri anda" is above the logo.
Some later commercials from the tag's last few years feature the logo on a white gradient background. They also lack the URL and the Maxis logo.
- On the FIFA 2006 Final Draw and the MAXIS Beautiful Game commercials, the logo slightly zooms in towards the screen.
On the English and Malay Activate Your Live commercials from 2004 are four people (three men, with the second one wearing a white songkok and the third one having slightly long hair, and a woman between the last two men) pointing at the screen while singing "Aktifkan Dirimu!" in a white gradient environment. The Hotlink logo is behind them, and the URL is in blue.

Technique: Either still digital graphics, computer animation, or zooming effects.

Audio: The ending of the commercial.

Availability: Seen on their commercials from the time, such as the Aktifkan Dirimu, Hotlink Football, and FIFA 2006 Final Draw commercials.
