Background: VAP, Inc. (initials of Video & Audio Project) is a Japanese publishing company, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo. It is a subsidiary of Nippon Television Holdings, Inc, and assists in the publishing of several anime, music, and video releases.
(2006-)
Nicknames: "Triorbs" "Golden VAP", "UAP III"
Logo: On a white background, 3 silver orbs with the reflection of the sky on them, fly in and merge with each other, becoming a red, green, and blue orb. The orbs zoom out as a multitude of them duplicate out of the original trio (while revealing a grey stripe on the background) and fly across the screen as a swarm. We then pan over to a large selection of rotaitng mechanical-looking rings and crescents, where all the spheres are flying towards a sun-like light in the middle of the screen, later turning rainbow-colored. The background then turns pure white as 3 translucent orbs, each containing a glass letter, split from the middle of the orb, and the objects disappear. The orbs themselves then disappear, revealing the "vap" letters in gold, rotating and merging in the center.
FX/SFX: The orbs flying in, the light splitting, the logo forming.
Music/Sounds: A heavenly synth bell flourish at the beginning, which enhances into a crystal fanfare.
Editor's Note: A really nice animation, which still holds up to this day.
