1st Logo

(1994 - 2003)

See AGS Media for details.

2nd Logo

(2003-2007)

Nickname: "Brown / Shining Eyemark"

Logo: These two logos are closely connected.

Home: We see a room in the old wooden house with a table and a live candle on it. The camera starts to move out of the window (backwards) and the house is shown among the night. The view gets blurred and rippled out and the camera flies out of an eyeball lens, then pans to show the whole logo. A little pin of light is seen inside of the eyeball.

HD: A big, fine-cutted diamond orb rolls over the plain, and the spotlight cone follows him. The spotlight moves lower behind the orb and emits light behind it, then the picture turns into the light flash. When the flash ceases, the logo with company name is shown. The eyeball is occupied with large light spot with living beams.

FX/SFX: The animation, well done in both cases.

Music/Sounds: Majestic theme, common for all of the CNV branches.

Availability: As you can see, short-lived brand. The Home version can be found in DVDs, the High Definition version is very rare, as it was used on EARLIEST Blu-ray releases by that time. New releases have AGS Home Entertainment logo instead.

Scare Factor: Low.

3rd Logo

(September 2007-)

Nickname: "The Bird"

Logo:

2007-2009

The camera moves along the the poor-lighted golden line, which becomes fatter. Other lines fall into view around, we can see the shaded motion of the bird flying on background. Finally the bright flash occurs in the center, creating the golden picture of the bird profile with wings. It zooms, the words of name also flash in below: AGS Home Entertainment or AGS High Definition. The logo fades, but the bird stays for one second and burns out.

2009-

On a complicated golden background, various blurred objects move. A dim splash creates the same logo as before. It ends in the same way.

FX/SFX: Wonderful CGI.

Music/Sounds:


 * 2007) Ascending string note, followed by the short majestic fanfare.
 * 2009) A rustling sound when bird appears, followed by the same fanfare.

Availability: Currently seen on AMD's (Active Media Discs), DVD's and Blu-rays.

Scare Factor: Minimal.
