1st Logo (2000-2006)


Logo: We see the warning screen scrolling, with the shape of a film camera from behind. After the warning screen scrolls, we see blue trailed rectangles flashing and shooting through various directions, leaving the following images fading out. First we see a rectangle flashing from the top of the camera and shooting to the bottom. After it, a DVD logo appears off-center and another rectangle shoots to the bottom-left. After that, a treble clef appears and another rectangle shoots to the top-right. Then what appears to be an open book in form of a "V" appears and another rectangle shoots to the bottom-right. Finally, an @ symbol appears and another rectangle shoots to the top-left. At the end, we see various rectangular shapes sliding from the sides and forming an arc, then the camera zooms out and the words "BRIDGE" and "ENTERTAINMENT GROUP" slide in. Then, a white spark appears and expands through the rest of the letters, making the text glow.

FX/SFX: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A series of whooshing sounds and drumming. When the rectangles shoot, the whooshes sound somewhat like fireworks shooting. At the end there is some electricity.

Availability: Common in the Netherlands and probably the easiest DVD distributor to access there.

Editor's Note: None.
