Logo (Early 2000s)
Logo: We see the space planets portion of the 2nd Microsoft Games logo. Once we zoom into the white planet and the background turns white, the black "安徽文化音像出版社", along with more Chinese text below appears with a shadow behind. The circle logo in silver appears at the left of the text, along with the ISRC info below.

Logo (Early 2000s)
Logo: We see a planet with clouds moving at the bottom (which is stock footage also used for other Chinese logos), while Chinese text in white scrolls in the front. The background fades to a film projector rotating before fading into the same blue planet footage again, with a purple nebula revealed. The background fades to a / linear gradient background with a film reel spinning as a blue filmstrip comes out. The background changes into a golden globe spinning in a black/ gradient. Once the Chinese text stops scrolling the yellow text "安徽文化音像出版社" and the translation "anhuiwenhuayinxiangchubanshe" trail from above. The ISRC info is shown below.

Technique: The background footage with the 2D text.

Music/Sounds: A majestic MIDI fanfare, also used in a few other Chinese logos.

Availability: Rare.

Logo (Mid 2000s)
Logo: We see a golden filmreel rotating over a black background, moving into the bottom-left corner. The background changes to a digital background with a blue gradient colored sphere rotating and multiple computer-style information lines reflected panning up, with multiple lights moving. "安徽文化音像出版社" with a bevel is seen scrolling to the left. The text appears again with "ANHUIWENHUAYINXIANGCHUBANSHE" in a comic-style font below, while the ISRCCN info scrolling above at the bottom, and more Chinese text zooming in below the names.

Technique: Mostly 2D animation with stock footage.

Music/Sounds: A stock rock theme.

Availability: Rare.

Logo (Mid 2000s)
Logo: We see the letters "AHWH" zoom out with a  glow over a black background, with two bars then placing in between the text. The glow disappears and another yellow light passes through the logo. The logo fades out, and changes into a fiery background. A transparent logo is shown rotating, seen first from non-facing perspective, then zooming out to reveal that it is a disc shape with radial lines coming out of it from the right. The logo zooms out into the center and the fiery background fades out, as it turns. The logo moves to the top, while the silver text "安徽文化音像出版社" ripples in below. Red bars slide in between the text while it turns golden.

Technique: 3D CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: Synth swooshing sounds at the beginning, followed by a quiet theme with whooshes.

Availability: Uncommon in Anhui; rare elsewhere.
