U.S. Manga Corps

Background
U.S. Manga Corps was the main anime distributor for Central Park Media, which catered to middle/high school students and older audiences. It's mascot was one of the giant mechs from MD Geist.

1st Logo (Early 90's-1998)
Logo: On a violet background, "US MANGA CORPS" is seen on the viewer's left, while the company's mascot is seen on the viewer's right.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on company releases at the time, which are somewhat hard to find.

2nd Logo (1998-Mid 2000's)
Logo: In a space environment with a gaseous planet below, we pan around the mascot of the company. After the panning stops, the mech points a gun at the camera and shoots, which makes a bright flash appear. The flash fades, and the robot is seen in the familial position. The US Manga Corps logo fly in letter by letter next to the mech.

FX/SFX: The mascot's movement and the letters flying. CGI animation, which is very reminiscent of the Beast Wars animated series.

Music/Sounds: A very dramatic drumbeat plays in the background, accompanied by the appropriate sound effects for the gun and the flying in of the letters.

Availability: Seen on later VHS and DVD releases by this company.

Legacy: The CGI is certainly dated today, but it was average at the time, however, the logo is neat to look at.
