A.D. Vision
1st Logo
(1992-1995)
Nicknames: "Early A.D. Vision", "A.D. Vision Star Grid"
Logo: On a black background, we see stars and at the bottom a rainbow-colored grid, a CGI rendition of the A.D. Vision print logo of the time zooms out and shines three times, each time followed by a star shining.
FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: The zoom-out and the shining, which is primitive even for the time period.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: A pretty tough find; your best bet is to find titles packaged in black Amaray cases with the A.D. Vision logo on the artwork. A hint: it appeared on the very first subtitled releases of the early volumes of The New Cutey Honey and Devil Hunter Yohko OVA's. This logo also appeared in an ADV logo montage on the DVD collection of the latter.
Scare Factor: None.
2nd Logo
(1995-1998)
Nicknames: "A.D.V.", "Liquid Spheres", "Rainbow Spheres".
Logo: On a grey background, three spheres rise up from a pool of liquid and start spinning as the background tilts and spins, revealing a yellow/black background. The grey base turns into a rectangle and the spheres start to form the letters "A D V" and 3 smaller spheres take place next to each letter. A multi-coloured "A.D. VISION" wipes across the screen and turns white as it settles under the shapes. The logo shines.
FX/SFX: All the CGI is great for the time.
Music/Sounds: A synthesizer fanfare with a few drum beats and a "whoosh" as "A.D. VISION" wipes across the screen.
Availability: Seen on most early ADV tapes, like the early Neon Genesis Evangelion and Blue Seed tapes as well as the first releases of Dragon Half and 801 T.T.S. Airbats. The logo is printed on the cover of all VHS tapes that have it. Also appears on the Devil Hunter Yohko DVD as part of a logo montage.
Scare Factor: None to low, because the A. D. VISION wiping across the screen might not sit well with viewers. However, this logo is a favorite of many.
ADV Films
1st Logo
(1998-1999)
Nickname: "Laser ADV"
Logo: On a black background, we see lasers forming white lines. The camera gradually pans over the white lines, which eventually end up forming the new ADV logo. When the logo is finally finished, it turns blue, and a comet shoots by, making the word "FILMS" fade in.
FX: The lasers forming the white lines, the logo turning blue, the comet. The CGI is good for the time period, but not as good as logo 2.
Music/Sounds: Same as logo 2, but shorter and with additional laser sound effects.
Availability: Seen on ADV tapes of the era, including Sakura Wars, Burn-Up: EXCESS, and Delinquent in Drag. Also appears on the logo montage at the beginning of Devil Hunter Yohko on DVD.
Scare Factor: Low to medium, because of the animation. However, if you're not fond of lasers, it's definitely high.
2nd Logo
(1999-2002)
Nicknames: "ADV Circle", "Hieroglyphics"
Logo: There is a bright red flash in the middle of the screen, which creates a blue background with various symbols in an arrangement from left to right. The symbols start to flash and swirl around, forming the stylized letters "ADV". A white circle forms around the letters and static appears below, forming the world "FILMS".
FX/SFX: The symbols and swirl are all very well animated.
Music/Sounds: Futuristic sound effects throughout; no music apart from a slight synth drone at the very end.
Availability: Seen on all ADV tapes and DVDs from the era.
Scare Factor: Low; the sudden flash at the start may startle first-time viewers, otherwise it is completely harmless.
3rd Logo
(2002-2009)
Nickname: "Distorted ADV"
Logo: On a black background, a circle shape zooms in and starts swirling about. We then zoom in and pan across a close-up ADV Films logo (without the circle). The ADV logo flies back and collides with the circle, which causes static to appear on the screen and the logo to distort. There is a flash, and the same ADV logo from the previous logo appears (there is another quick distort on this shot).
FX/SFX: VERY dull animation in comparison to the previous logos.
Music/Sounds: Like the previous logo; just some sound effects.
Availability: Seen on current releases from ADV, like Chrono Crusade, Azumanga Daioh, and Elfen Lied. Also on the Devil Hunter Yohko ADV logo montage.
Scare Factor: None.
