Background

VIVA Video Inc. is the home video division of VIVA Entertainment. During its tenure, it was the largest home video distributor in the Philippines carrying titles not only by VIVA Films but by other local film companies at the time such as APT Entertainment, OctoArts Films, FPJ Productions and Studio5/Unitel Pictures.

VIVA Video also acts as the Philippine distributor of titles produced, made or released by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, MGM Home Entertainment, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Big Idea Entertainment (makers of VeggieTales DVDs in the Philippines), Cookie Jar Entertainment (in partnership with DIC Entertainment until 2008), Nine Network (makers of Hi-5 DVDs in the Philippines), Summit Entertainment, Lionsgate Home Entertainment, Sesame Workshop (makers of Sesame Street), HiT Entertainment, and MGA Entertainment.

1st Logo (1985-1993)

Nicknames: "Wiping Image", "Divided Image", "The Cheap VIVA"

Logo:

  • Logo 1: We see a black background; then an image wipes in, which contains a white background with a blue VIVA logo, followed by "VIDEO" in a 70's-esque font. Below it is "PRESENTS". After a few seconds, it wipes out.
  • Logo 2: Same as before, but instead of the wiping, two pieces of the image appear and fly into the screen, forming it. It then plays in reverse rather than just wiping out.

Variant: A still version exists.

FX/SFX: Choppy and unimpressive animation.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Can be seen on early home video prints of VIVA movies, including a VHS/VCD of Sala Sa Init, Sala Sa Lamig.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1991-1999)

Nicknames: "The Tame VIVA Logo", "Filipino V of Not-So-Doom"

Logo: Same as the 1991 VIVA Films logo, but different. The background is a dark marble wall, the bexel of the "V" doesn't look wide and it spins and zooms instead of being formed and rotating away. Instead of the letter breaking, the "V" spins again to reveal the "IV" and the "A" comes out of it, which places to its normal position. The now-finished logo shrinks and places itself, and a light pans on the logo. Also, instead of the lines coming out and "FILMS" appearing, those lines just fade in with the text "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" in a boxy font sandwiched between them.

FX/SFX: Basically a different version of the VIVA Films logo.

Music/Sounds: A calm horn fanfare (the theme from American Ninja).

Availability: Uncommon.

  • Appears on 1990's home video releases by VIVA.
  • This logo also appears on Hong Kong releases made by Media Asia Group (such as Police Story, Project A and Game of Death) and other Hollywood films made by VIVA Entertainment.
  • This logo doesn't appear on Disney VHS tapes right after the warning scroll.

4th Logo (1999–2007)

Nicknames: "VIVA In The Sky", "Filipino V From Heaven"

Logo: We see a blue sky. Then the "V" from the VIVA logo, in a grainy yellow color, appears by a flash. It zooms out to the right, moves to the left with its shadow, forming a thick blue line. A rainbow laser appears and writes "VIVA VIDEO" onto the line. Then "A VIVA ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY" appears by a dust effect at the bottom of the blue line. The "V" flashes.

FX/SFX: Great CGI animation. Looks clean for a late 90's logo from the Philippines.

Music/Sounds: A majestic fanfare, with zapping sounds and laser SFX.

Availability: Common.

  • Seen on VCDs, VHS tapes and some DVDs made by VIVA and some movies (including films made in Hollywood) manufactured by VIVA Entertainment.
  • Like the 2nd logo, this does not appear on Disney/Buena Vista titles released by the company (although Disney's former subsidiary, Miramax has this logo appear before the Miramax logo).
