Medialine Entertainment

Background
MediaLine Entertainment was the Indonesian distributor of Universal Pictures and DreamWorks movies as well as certain shows by FremantleMedia, National Geographic, and Discovery Channel. In 2013 its company sister Magixeyes Entertainment took over the distribution rights to the last three companies' titles before their parent company's demise in 2014.

Logo: We zoom out from the Earth as a large "Medialine" pulls back. A diamond interlocked within a ring appears spinning around (a la ITC). The interlocked objects zoom in leaving a thick hazy trail. All of a sudden, the Medialine text zooms in rapidly as "E N T E R T A I N M E N T" placed underneath a line zooms out. Everything shatters like broken glass, and the background fades into a grey background with small ripples. The Medialine text, as well as the "E N T E R T A I N M E N T" text and the interlocked objects, appears very blurry, which gets clearer after a few seconds as the ripples stop.

Technique: Early CGI, the Earth is badly UV-mapped, but otherwise decent for its time.

Audio: A string hit mixed with synth windchimes, whooshes, down-pitched dronesmixed with clanks, followed by a foreboding choir note, which is jarringly cut off by a powerful rock n' roll theme.

Availability: It was seen on Universal and DreamWorks releases (until 2005), as well as shows released by the remaining aforementioned companies above.
