Master Tape

Logo descriptions by Grig2007

1st Logo (1999-2000s)
Logo: On black background filled with stars, the camera moves and reveals two rotating splitted circles. the text "МАСТЕР ТЭЙП" zooms out; and finally, the circles stop rotating and the logo freezes.

Technique: The animation of the circles.

Music/Sounds: A rather unusual electronic/rock theme. ("Legs (Inside Leg Mix)" by The Art of Noise)

Availability: Used on early Master Tape VHS releases.

2nd Logo (2000s-August 22, 2016)
Logo: On a black background, we see logo from before, but a bit bolder (without the text) drawing with fire background chroma keyed. Then the logo spins and zooms in and blurs. The words "МАСТЕР ТЭЙП" and "ПРЕДСТАВЛЯЕТ" (in Cyrillic) appear. The logo the fades out, and the text fades out afterwards.

Technique: The logo drawing in, the fire, the blur, the logo spinning/zooming, all simple 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: A majestic fanfare that sounds similar to MIDI.

Availability: Seen on DVD's from that company since 2000's until the company went defunct.
