Background: MPL Communications is associated with Paul McCartney's music. Interestingly, the acronym stands for McCartney Productions Limited.

(1983-)



Nickname: "Planet Juggler", "The Paul McCartney Logo". Logo: On a white background we see three planets, one resembling Saturn (the rest being ordinary planets) bounce about and we see a hand clutch one of the planets. The camera zooms down as we see a man (it could be Paul McCartney) juggling the planets. He then juggles the planets into the correct position and the man and planets fade into silhouettes, witch causes one of the rounded planets to turn into a crescent moon, and the white background fades into a snowglobe on a black background and "mpl" in a tubular font fades in the snowglobe, in front of the juggler's legs. FX/SFX: The three planets bouncing about, the hand clutching one of the planets, the camera zooming down, the man juggling the planets, the man and planets fading into silhouettes, the snowglobe and  mpl  fading in. Music/Sounds: Some creepy synthesized music, a held note when the logo animation becomes the print logo and three drumbeats at the end. After it, the music ends with the note morphing into some Turkish-like guitar music. Availability: Uncommon. Can be seen on films produced by Paul McCartney, such as Paul McCartney: Put It There from 1989 and the 2007 DVD Release of The McCartney Years. Editor's Note: The music and juggling man may scare some viewers. The drumbeats may also startle some unexpecting viewers, but the guitar music at the end of the music looks very sort of relaxing.
