Pan Video

1st Logo (1984-1990s)


Nicknames: "PAN Cube", "Zooming Cube", "Flashing Cube"

Logo: On a space background covered with several twinkling yellow stars, we see a blue flash far away in the center. Then, in the flash, we see a blue cube made of the company name, "PAN", fading in. The cube zooms towards us while it flashes blue several times. When it almost reached the screen, we see two rainbow trails (even though it has only 6 lines) from the left and right of the screen merging into one. When it does, the cube gives out a very large blue flash and freezes in place as the byline, "P.T. PAN INIMPEX CO. LTD." appears sliding in from the left of the screen to the above of the rainbow trail and the company name, "PAN VIDEO" appears, also sliding in but this time from the right, moving to the below of the trail. The stars keep twinkling until the logo fades out.

Technique: The zooming cube, the rainbow trail and the sliding in of the text.

Music/Sounds: A majestic stock fanfare called "Film Finale", composed by Roger Roger, which is also used by Merdeka Film Studio and Goldig Films.

Availability: Very scarce. Can be seen in VHS and Betamax tapes of the time. Examples of tapes that have this logo are old Indonesian distributed Sharivan and Gaban tapes (in which all of those films originally came from Japan). It also seen on some distributed Indonesian films, such as Satria Bergitar.
