1st Logo (1990)
![](/w/thumb.php?f=M-ZET_Films_%281990%29.png&width=300)
Logo: In front of a blue background, a white square with segmented lines and an M forming the empty space wipes in. The word "ZET" flashes in, in a red Helvetica font. and the word "FILMS" flashes in below, again in the same font (albeit in white).
Technique: 2D computer animation.
Music/Sounds: A creepy UFO-like sound.
Availability: Very rare, only seen on Crocodile Jones: The Son of Indiana Dundee.
2nd Logo (1990-1996)
Logo: A pink-ish light appears on the top-left corner. The sun rises. A horse runs in from the left and stops, looks at it's legs and then stands up, and both things zoom out. A vertical rectangle with blue lines and a border appears from above, and places behind the sun. Parts of the M then zoom out and join. "ZET" flashes in below the M, along with "FILMS", which is seen below the horse and sun.
Variants:
- Starting in 1992, the logo begins with the sun and the horse already in place.
- On Okay ka, Fairy Ko! (The Movie) and Sam and Miguel: Your Basura No Problema, a short version was used.
- There is a slightly short version and more blue tinted, this was seen on Okay ka Fairy Ko! Part 2.
Technique: All 2D animation.
Music/Sounds: A synth fanfare, along with other sounds, including the ascending/descending sounds and the horse.
Music/Sounds Variants:
- The 1992 variant had an icy synthesizer tone, followed by some synth zaps and thunder-like crashes as the logo's elements come together.
- The short version uses the whoosh and chime bells was heard.
- On Okay Ka Fairy Ko! Part 2, an eerie music features the whoosh sound and weird noise at the end (much like the monster roar or Pokemon game/cry) was heard.
Availability: Rare, can be found movies like Samson & Goliath and Okay ka Fairy Ko! Part 2, the short version appears on Okay ka, Fairy Ko! and Sam And Miguel: Your Basura No Problema. The 1992 variant looks extremely rare, and was seen on its 1992-1996 episodes
Legacy: The animation is extremely choppy and the sound effects are ill-fitting - albeit humorous. Given that this sometimes followed the notoriously eerie Regal Home Video logo, this may have been a welcome reprieve. In the 1992 version, the music is more well-suited this time around, it's far creepier than the first logo.
3rd Logo (1996-1999)
Logo: On a black background, we see an "M" forming with blue bars resembling a blue square which the "M" is on. Then more blue bars appear and "ZET" appears under the blue box "M", then "FILMS" appears under "ZET". Several blue lines shoot toward the screen.
Technique: The animation in the logo.
Music/Sounds: The trumpet portion with synth tinkles from the OctoArts Films and Cinemax Studios logos.
Music/Sounds Variants:
- On Enteng and the Shaolin Kid and Ang Tange Kong Pag-ibig, a creepy, yet dreamy synth music that also plays on the Mother Studio Films and Moviearts Films logos.
- On Biyudo Si Daddy, Biyuda Si Mommy, A An choir sound with an ascending-descending synth sound that also plays on MegaVision Films and Libran Films Inc.
- On Basta't ikaw... Nanginginig pa, a dramatic fanfare with rising sound was heard.
Availability: Uncommon, can be found on movies like Lab En Kisses, Ang Tange Kong Pag-ibig, D'Sisters: Nuns of the above, and Biyudo Si Daddy, Biyuda Si Mommy. The logo did not appear on the 1996-1997 GMA Network episodes of Okay ka, Fairy Ko! and 1 for 3, which is both using the in-credit variants.
Legacy: Much tamer than the 2nd logo, thanks to the soothing synth stinger. The "extending bar" animations would have been considered cheap by the 1970s. But for a logo conceived in the mid-90s? It's a complete anachronism that almost transcends cheesiness and loops back around into artistic merit.
4th Logo (2001-2016)
![](/w/thumb.php?f=M-Zet_TV_Productions.jpg&width=300)
Logo: On a black background, we see many blue bars stacking (a la Fries Entertainment) to form a TV tube shape with "MZ" on it and "TV" on the bottom of the "Z". Then, we zoom out, and the text "M-ZET TV PRODUCTION, INC." appears underneath.
Technique: Modern computer graphics.
Music/Sounds: A dark synth tune from the OctoArts Films logo.
Music/Sounds Variants: TBA.
Availability: Common, can be found on some Filipino movies like Enteng Kabisote 3, Lastikman, and more upcoming films.
5th Logo (2016-)
Logo: TBA.
Technique: TBA.
Music/Sounds: The Opening Theme of the movie.
Music/Sounds Variants: TBA.
Availability: Brand New, Debuted on Enteng Kabisote 10 and the Abangers.
5th Logo (2016-)
Logo: On a black background, we see the 2001–2016 logo in white zooming towards the screen. The logo's color then switches to dark blue through a wipe from the left, then zooms back while the bars are highlighted by streaks of white. The logo then shines, with everything in dark blue, except "TV" in white.
Technique: Modern computer graphics.
Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the movie or show.
Availability: Brand new. First seen on Open 24/7.
