Pan Video

1st Logo (1984-1990s)


Logo: On a space background covered with several twinkling yellow stars, we see a blue flash far away in the center. Then, in the flash, we see a blue cube made of the company name, "PAN", fading in. The cube zooms towards us while it flashes blue several times. When it almost reached the screen, we see two rainbow trails (even though it has only 6 lines) from the left and right of the screen merging into one. When it does, the cube gives out a very large blue flash and freezes in place as the byline, "P.T. PAN INIMPEX CO. LTD." appears sliding in from the left of the screen to the above of the rainbow trail and the company name, "PAN VIDEO" appears, also sliding in but this time from the right, moving to the below of the trail. The stars keep twinkling until the logo fades out.

Technique: A mix of 2D and 3D computer effects.

Music/Sounds: A majestic stock fanfare called "Film Finale", composed by Roger Roger, which is also used by Merdeka Film Studio and Goldig Films.

Availability: Very scarce. Can be seen in VHS and Betamax tapes of the time. Examples of tapes that have this logo are old Indonesian distributed Sharivan and Gaban tapes (in which all of those films originally came from Japan). It also seen on some distributed Indonesian films, such as Satria Bergitar.

2nd Logo (1990s)


Logo: We have a skin-like color background. Later, several strips of colored bars (pink, red, yellow,, blue) appears from left and right merging into a rainbow background. A white PAN logo (The PAN cube and the company name below) appears zooming to the center and stopping.

Technique: The backgrounds utilize traditional animation, while the PAN logo uses a digital zoom effect.

Music/Sounds: Same as before.

Availability: Very rare. It can be seen in some Indonesian releases and also VHS and Betamax tapes.
