Tag (1996)
Visuals: At the end of the commercial, the screen zooms into space towards a battery-like spaceship. The camera rotates to show a bit of the Earth, along with another spaceship in the background. Throughout the footage, multiple horizontal white lines form at the bottom of the screen and form the maxis logo (with the dot of the "i" replaced with a green scribble) near the bottom right of the screen, along with a rectangle reading "KOMUNIKASI HIBURAN MAKLUMAT" ("COMMUNICATION ENTERTAINMENT INFORMATION") under the logo. The text "daripada Helvetica" then flashes in and slightly shrinks at the bottom right of the screen.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The ending of the commercial, with an electronic piano rendition of the company's three-note tune.

Availability: Seen on a commercial aired during 1996 promoting their services.

Tag (1999)
Visuals: In a dark environment, five hands come in with the company's letters on their palms, spelling out the company' name as the hands open. An abstract shape resembling the scribble flies in as the sequence fades into a foggy white background with the company's logo. The shape settles above the "I", and two thin horizontal lines fly in underneath the logo, as a vertical line forms the text "Helvetica" with a trademark symbol next to it. The lines come in again, replacing the text with "Helvetica" with a registered trademark symbol next to it, followed by "Helvetica" with a trademark symbol next to it. The text then fades out as the company's URL fades in under the logo.

Technique: Live-action and CGI.
