Background: The MRA Entertainment Group was an budget Australian distribution company which released various films and TV shows before they went bankrupt in 2007. They founded in 1995.

1st Logo (1995-2000?)

Logo: We see a red starry background. There's a small blue ball zooming in the midst of this background, moving "forward" as it occupies a fair portion of the screen. This ball keeps moving until the screen is engulfed by it, of which is the background for the second half of this logo. We then see the logomark, which consists of "MRA ENTERTAINMENT GROUP" in a Times-like font, stacked on top of each other and separated by thin yellow lines. It zooms in very slowly, shaking slightly as it does so. The logo has a clearer resolution and brighter color at this point, and the words "Your Ticket To The Stars" appear under this.

FX/SFX: The zooming in of all of the elements that create this logo.

Music/Sounds: It begins with a synthesized cymbal noise, of which segues into a pounding whoosh. The sound of thunder then follows, leaving behind a rather unexplained noise not unlike that of a helicopter taking flight. This abruptly ends, leaving silence.

Availability: Unknown, but it shouldn't be too rare, possibly seen on VHS's of the era.

Editor's Note: TBA

2nd Logo: (????-????)

TBA!

3rd Logo (2000?-2004?) MRA Entertainment DVD

Logo: On a black background with red smoke with black lines and black slanted rectangles moving across the smoke, we see a rectangle with a oval inside reading "MRA Entertainment" with the DVD logo underneath in white spinning around slowly. Then the logo turns green rotating, then it turns white again flipping back into the smoke. After a flash we see the logo again, only in black and zooming in from the smoke, and then the slanted rectangles disappear.

FX/SFX: Everything.

Music/Sounds: A strange humming noise is heard at first, then we hear two laser sounds and then finally we hear an air sound.

Availability: Can be seen on Australian DVD's from the time.

3rd Logo (2004?-2007?)

Note: The logo plays at 0:17. . Logo: On a purple gradient background, we see a white three pointed star with arrows on each end, then four more stars of the same kind zoom in from the top left of the screen, then they form a circle. After that the screen wipes away, the stars turn black and we see the word "MRA" on the right of the circle and entertainment underneath. . FX/SFX: The stars taking place. Minimal effort was required to make this and the whole animation looks boring and cheap, with not much to it. . Music/Sounds: An synth-string tune with beeping noises. . Availability: Can be seen on their DVD releases of the time. . Editor's Note: TBA
