Muse Entertainment

Background

This is Michael Prupas' production company.

1st Logo (October 23, 1999-June 26, 2001)

Visuals: On a white background, a golden star zooms out shining and casting shadows, with the blue word "MUSE" having the smaller text underneath "ENTERTAINMENT ENTERPRISES INC.", all placed below. The two beams of the star are replaced with hair coming from the kind of profile faces looking on each other. When it reaches its position, the logo brights.

Technique: CGI animation.

Audio: The closing theme of the movie, or an ascending 8-note flute tune that ends with a descending harp sound.

Availability: Was spotted on the company's earliest productions, like The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and The Hound of The Baskervilles (2000).

2nd Logo (October 1, 2001-2007)

Visuals: This is an updated version of the previous logo; but the symbol zooms and merges into the shadow. Its shining was remade to include rays that come up. The letters are now in a different font with a much darker color.

Variant: There is a still version with a brown star and the white text written in three lines. It was used among the closing credits.

Technique: CGI animation.

Audio: Same as before.

Availability: Seen on TV-movies from early 2000's and a few series including Killer Wave and Durham County season one.

3rd Logo (October 17, 2008-)

Visuals: First, there's a cloud expanse tinted blue, then two woman heads zoom in, made of stone. Everything in the screen changes color to orange, as women profiles continue to zoom back, with their hair moving, and geometric drawings begin to appear around them. The column is seen below, which casts light beams up, the heads turn into simple drawing as in the first logo, and they are attached to the golden star. The words "MUSE ENTERTAINMENT" in gold appear below.

Variant: On Crusoe, the logo is still and shares the screen with the Moonlighting Films logo.

Technique: CGI animation.

Audio: An ominous choir section. Sometimes it's silent or the closing theme.

Availability: It appeared on Crusoe and other television shows or movies. The long version was spotted on The Deal.
