MTV Production (M) Sdn. Bhd.

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum


1st Logo (early 1990s-1993)

Visuals: On a black background, a spinning white sphere with red, green, and blue paint marks flies in from the top left of the screen, as stylized text in a paint-like font reading "MTV" flies in from the top right of the screen. The sphere flies to the center of the screen as the text moves around, before the sphere opens up and fills up the entire screen, as the text settles over the paint marks. Text reading "MTV PRODUCTION (M) SDN. BHD." then forms underneath the logo.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A sixteen-note synth tune accompanied by four more synth notes. The tune is repeated three times, with some alterations to the extra synth notes.

Availability: Unknown. [Examples?]

2nd Logo (1993-1999)

Visuals: A paint-like scribble changing color writes in against a black background. The camera then zooms into the scribble, which red, green, and blue rectangles fly around in it, as a light appears and writes down the letters "MTV" with a moving white gradient in it. The rectangles in the scribble settle and the letters zoom out to form an enhanced version of the logo from before. The logo then shines two times, as it gains its solid colors, with the "MTV" letters turning completely white.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Multiple drum notes, followed by a four-note electric guitar tune.

Availability: Seen on their VCD releases from the era, such as their prints of Animal Alphabet.
