Macrovision

Background
Macrovision is a copy-protection system from the company Macrovision Solutions Corporation, first used on the 1985 VHS/Betamax/LaserDisc of The Cotton Club. In 2009, the company changed its name to Rovi. On September 8, 2016, Rovi acquired TiVo and changed its name to the latter. Until the 1997 VHS release of Keys to Tulsa, Macrovision didn't use an animated logo, just warning screens.

Logo (September 2, 1997-2007)
Visuals: On a black background, we see a pink metallic triangle with "cp" on it (which stands for "copy protected" or "copy protection"), which zooms out and rotates from the bottom left to the center. Some clouds and sandy dunes are reflected onto the triangle, which shines, causing it to turn. Then a flash appears on the center to swallow the triangle up in order to serve room for the logo, and "MACROVISION QUALITY PROTECTION" (in Eurostile LT Std Condensed font) zooms out, with a smaller triangle next to it. An upside-down triangle replaces the V in "MACROVISION", and after it zooms out, the triangle shines with a "ping" and the text "QUALITY PROTECTION" starts to glow. In the background of the triangle and "MACROVISION", there is what appears to be a background of a desert and a cloudy sky (and if you watch closely, a watery oasis near the bottom of the desert as the text zooms out).

Trivia: Although this logo did appear at the end of the UK DVD release of Makaton Nursery Rhymes, the disc itself isn't actually copy-protected. The logo's inclusion is most likely a mistake considering that Universal released it to the format.

Variant: A French version exists where it fades in on the finished logo with the triangle stuck on the light and the text and the quality protection text fades in and is replaced by "serif". This can be seen on the VHS release of The Eighth Day.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A mellow synth tune.

Audio Variants:
 * From 2003-05, a silent version was used on VHS (the DVD counterparts all had the theme). This has been spotted on the 2003-05 VHS releases of Hulk, Love Actually, Along Came Polly, and Friday Night Lights.
 * On some UK DVDs (usually ones without the Deluxe Digital Studios logo preceding), the logo is out of sync with the music, with it starting as the triangle shines.

 * It appears at the end of the Region 2 DVD release of Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas, possibly due to Universal handling distribution for the DreamWorks release at the time.
 * It was also used as a GIF on an old version of the company's website.

Legacy: While Macrovision itself is regarded by a nuisance by A/V enthusiasts, this logo is nevertheless a favorite of many due to its calming music and nature.
