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

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 late-2000 or so, the version with byline has been debuted. 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: The zooming.

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

Availability: Pretty common. Many Asian VHS's, 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 mentioned company logo).

Editor's Note: None.



2nd Logo (Indonesian division)

MUSICA
VIDEOVAN

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

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

Editor's Note: None.
