Starmedia Entertainment Sdn. Bhd.
Wayang Tinggi Entertainment Sdn. Bhd.
Background
Wayang Tinggi Entertainment was a Malaysian record label formed in the 1990s. It is involved in the production of recordings by area artists, including Alif Ila Ya, Alif Ba Ta, and Cute Princess.
(1995-2008)
Nickname: "WTE"
Logo: On a space background with asteroids, stars and space stations, the outlined triangle writes itself with a flare, the flare disappears. The logo rotates to the center position as we can see the 3 letters WTE zooming out with trails to form the Wayang Tinggi Entertainment logo. An asteroid and a flare come in, while "WAYANG TINGGI ENTERTAINMENT SDN. BHD." in a Helvetica Black font spins and zooms out. Two flares slide around the text, and "mempersembahkan" fades in below.
Variant:
- For the closing variant on many releases, "mempersembahkan" doesn't fade in.
- A variant exists where the logo moves up a bit after the triangle is done being formed.
FX/SFX: Somewhat plain CGI animation, but still reminiscent of other South East Asian VCD logos of the era.
Music/Sounds: A repetitive synth tune that sounds like you would hear on Ninja The Protector, then a hip-hop beat tune followed by a whoosh when two flares slide around the text, ending with a news-like synth tune.
Availability: Seen on some VCD and DVD releases by the company, such as 巧千金 DVDs.
Editor's Note: None.
Starmedia Entertainment Sdn. Bhd.
Background
Wayang Tinggi Entertainment was renamed Starmedia Entertainment Sdn. Bhd. during 2008, still being a major record label.
(2008-)
Nicknames: "S", "Starmedia S", "The Stars And The Sea"
Logo: On a starry background, a twinkle appears. Five stars come flying down, similar to the 2002 and 2011 Paramount Pictures logo. We cut to the mountains with some stars flying, while the camera flies toward the mountains. Some stars fly and bounce while flying toward the hills. We cut to the stars flying as we can see the city in the sea, as the fireworks explode. We cut to the stars flying toward the buildings while the fireworks explode each other. We cut to the future-like buildings with roads, but with a building with a drive-in screen in front of it. The screen contains some psychedelic shapes, as the firework rockets appear flying up and the stars goes into the screen and disappear. Some psychedelic shapes disappear, then the screen explodes to form the Starmedia Entertainment logo. The screen zooms in, the logo slides quickly and finally the flare slides to form the name of the company and the Chinese translation, leaving some particles.
FX/SFX: The CGI is low-budget for a late 2000s logo, despite how fluid the animation actually is.
Music/Sounds: A somewhat dramatic synth theme with the sounds of thunder and whooshes, followed by a descending THX-esque synth piece.
Availability: Current.
Editor's Note: None.
