EVS Entertainment

1st (possibly) Logo (1989-1994?)
Logo: On a black/blue gradient background, the letters of "EVS", with the S having a streaked white shadow next to it, slide in from the right one-by-one. Then the words of "ENTERTAINMENT", in a computerized serif font, fly in from the sides continuously.

Variant: There is a plain black background variant.

FX/SFX: 8-bit computer animation.

Music/Sounds: A synth-brass fanfare leading into a dramatic crescendo.

Availability: Rare.

2nd Logo (1990-199?)
Logo: On an space background, we see an E, V and S flying through the screen to the left, as the lines fly in on the S, forming the word EVS. Some lighting filmstrips appear on the back, as the word ENTERTAINMENT flies in letter-by-letter with leaving a trail, forming the final result:

EVS ENTERTAINMENT

with EVS and ENTERTAINMENT separated from the logo. The logo then fades out.

FX/SFX: EVS flying through, the lines flying in on the S, ENTERTAINMENT flying in.

Music/Sounds: The music from the Virgin Video logo from 1986.

Availability: Rare.

3rd Logo (1991)
Logo: A gray background with imposed copies of the EVS Entertainment logo in white flips into view. The red parts of the EVS wordmark slide in from the right, with shadows coming from the vertical sides. "ENTERTAINMENT" with a white border then types in below. Green Thai text then appears above / below the logo.

FX/SFX: 8-bit computer animation.

Music/Sounds: A brass fanfare.

Availability: Very rare. Used solely in conjunction with the Eagle Group logo.

Legacy: Both this and the Eagle Group logo follow a similar animation concept.

4th Logo (1994-1997)
Logo: Over a superimposed video of a cloudy blue sky, the letters of "EVS" flip from the right, top and bottom coordinately, and a yellow "shining" effect occurs once when placed. "ENTERTAINMENT" then spins in from below (thru a 3D illusion). An iris effect occurs which forms white borders around the logo complete with the streak.

FX/SFX: Still primitive 2D effects, although neater-looking than the previous logos.

Music/Sounds: Same as the first logo.

Availability: Rare. Might appear on both VHS and (later) VCD releases.

5th Logo (1997-2000)
Logo: Over a picture of a sunset with the shadow of a tree near the left, a set of 8 yellow stars, grouped together in a circle, is shown spinning. The letters of the EVS logo, along with the yellow "ENTERTAINMENT" text below, then zoom out in the front while spinning into view. The stars keep on spinning once the logo settles.

FX/SFX: Simple 3D CG effects.

Music/Sounds: Same as the first logo.

Availability: Rare. Might appear on both VHS and VCD releases.

Music/Sounds: John Williams' recording of the 20th Century Fox fanfare (albeit different than the usual Star Wars fanfares) with the drumroll cut.
