Premier Asia

Background

Premier Asia was a UK DVD distribution company, operating between the years 2003-2008. It was owned by Medusa Communications throughout its first year. Premier Asia is the sister company of Hong Kong Legends, and whilst that company specialised only in Hong Kong films, Premier Asia encompassed films from all of the major film making centres of Asia (outside of mainland China), specifically Japan, South Korea and Thailand. In 2004, Contender Entertainment Group took over Medusa Communications, including Premier Asia. In 2008, Contender discontinued the Premier Asia label.

Visuals: Various pieces of the Premier Asia logomark (an italic H forming the empty space of an oval) are seen. The screen flashes to show a closeup of the logomark, which spins over into position against a black background. After another flash, the words "PREMIER ASIA" in a silver font sandwich the logomark, and a light grayish-blue background is present. Yet another flash turns the words into black.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: An orchestral fanfare with Asian instruments.
