Background

Better known as Musica VideoVan Entertainment (as seen on the VCD covers released by the company). It was formed in Singapore in 1983. It didn't have an on-screen logo until the late '90s. In 2011, the company was dissolved due to its long inactivity.

1st (known) Logo (1997?-2011)

Nickname(s): "Pixelated Space", "Space from Hell", "Singaporean Space from Hell" Cheesy Videovan

Logo: On a space background, the camera zooms in quickly in front of a rocky planet. This passes as it zooms into another planet. A small moon drops south out of frame, as the rocky planet suddenly stops spinning and rotates the reverse direction. Next, the company name, "VIDEOVAN", letter by letter, places themselves on the screen in front of the rock planet. A planet resembling Jupiter or the Moon (because of the craters) flies up in the background, and immediately when it gets out of frame two red triangles top off both V(s) in the name. The rock planet stops, and the completed logo is a still image that sticks for a few seconds more without fading.

Variants:

Some releases had the logo end in a frame-change.
In around late 2000, a byline was added to the logo. After the forming of the logo, the planets zoom out quickly in favor of the byline "Entertainment Industries Pte Ltd". The logo shines then.

FX/SFX: Everything, all in CGI.

Music/Sounds: A loud warbling UFO-esque synth, followed by a strange synth.

Availability: Pretty common. Many Asian VHS tapes, DVDs, and VCDs had this, such as the 2000 Indonesian VCD of Titanic (1998) and the Discovery Channel series Once Upon a Tree (the latter followed by said company logo).

Legacy: The CGI is very cheesy, looking like a leaked PS1 game. The music and sounds are also cheap sounding, but can also deal some scares from a few.

2nd Logo (Indonesian division) (1997-2003?)

Logo: On a black background, there's a yellow rectangle outline. Inside, it reads:

MUSICA

VIDEOVAN

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Can be seen on StudioCanal (formerly Canal+) releases distributed by the company.
