TVBI

1st logo (1983-1990)


Logo: Against a star field, we see a blue two-dimensional globe zooming away from us, rotating counterclockwise as a blue laser box flashes out of the globe and flies towards us upside down, as the text "© HK-TVB International Ltd. 1983" appears in the lower right corner. The text disappears as the blue laser box flies up towards the globe and positions itself, as the current star field changes to another star field. Next, red, green, and blue lasers hit the globe, causing a set of white stars to explode out of the box. Next, the HK-TVB International logo fades in, and the text "An HK-TVB International Ltd. Distribution" fades in below the logo. It either appears in Chinese or English (but not both), depending on the tape. Towards the end of the logo, the star field stops moving.

FX/SFX: Pretty choppy animation.

Music/Sounds: TBA

Availability: TBA

Editor's Note: TBA

2nd logo (1990)
Logo: Against a white background, we see a white rounded square with three colors in the circle that make up the TVB logo in black, and it's a still version in the text "Distributed by TVB International Limited" below the logo.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Unknown.

Editor's Note: This logo is considered as a Lost Media, beacause we don't know how many tapes have this logo. The image shown in this paragraph it's only a reconstruction.

3rd logo (1990-1996)


Logo: Against a dark blue background, we see a 3-dimensional globe zooming out from the side, rotating clockwise. From the sides, we see the text "TVB International" scrolling clockwise around the globe, and as the "TVB" reaches the top, it rotates downward, and the "International" also moves forward to the bottom, as the blue and red colors of the sphere scroll in from the right, and the green color from the left. The white rounded square that makes up the completed logo appears to finish the logo.

FX/SFX: Early 3D CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A majestic horn fanfare.

Availability: TBA

Editor's Note: TBA

4th Logo (1996-2017)


Logo: To the left of the screen, we see the right side of a clear blue 3-dimensional globe is rotating in reverse, with its mirror image on the right, with two black vertical lines. The text "TVBI" floats around the globe, which we also see in the mirror to the right. As the text clears, the mirror rotates towards us and the globe cuts away (revealing the mirror images of Asia and Australia) in the sphere that makes up the TVB logo and the white square is also seen. The "TVBI" text floats down towards us one letter at a time, as the globe fades into the three colors that make up the logo. The completed logo appears on a sky background zooming back, as the "TVBI" text shines at which point the background stops moving.

Variants: The background and the ending might change as the time goes. The most know variants are:
 * 1997-1998: The sky background was changed to a blue one zooming back, and the logo is darker, also including a light on the top.
 * 1998-2005: the light was removed and the byline "Distributed by TVBI Company Limited" in both English and Chinese zoom out.
 * 2005-2017: The background had been changed with a black space one, which appears from a ring of clouds. The bylines zoom out individually, and the company's name glows.

FX/SFX: The spinning globe, the letters and the zooming out.

Music/Sounds: Same as the 2nd logo.

Availability: The original version is extremely rare and considered as Lost Media, but the other ones are common. Seen on various releases of TVB programs.

Editor's Note: A significant logo that aged well for almost 21 years.
