Logo (1995?-2000?)


Logo: We shoot in from a starfield while a flash occurs at the center, bringing up a flying CD while a smiling star comes out of the bottom-right and flies on the top of it. Musical notes then fade in from the center of the disc, as other, larger ones move in from the right, reflecting the other elements. The star is shown dancing and proceeds moving to the left, and then we cut away to a blue VHS with the "STARMAX" brand in yellow, and the enlarged, 3D red logo shown in the label. In the side label is the Hangul text of the company. The tapes moves behind, and then rotates into perspective before a flash occurs from the left side. We fade into the CD and star, again, but the disc is shown at the top and the star is shown flying onto it, while a filmstrip appears and moves below the disc. The filmstrip turns into a yellow, glowing lights while the star centers itself and the models of the text "스타맥스" and "STARMAX" appears by another glowing light. The starfield fades out and the text rotates into perspective, and a blue glow can be seen behind the logo.

FX/SFX: 3DCG animation.

Music/Sounds: A bombastic synthesized fanfare. Playing along it is a flashing sound at the beginning, series of glissandos when the musical notes appear, and a whoosh when the logo forms. Availability: Uncommon in South Korea; mostly appears in later VHS tapes as well as earlier DVDs/VCDs distributed in the country.
