MagixEyes Entertainment

Background

Magixeyes Entertainment was one of Indonesia's Hollywood home video distributors. It distributed materials from 21st Century Fox (formerly News Corporation) and Metro Goldwyn Mayer. On December 31, 2014, it was officially announced that Inova Digimedia would go into bankruptcy and shut down its remaining companies from 2014, including Dutamitra, Movieline Entertainment, and Magixeyes Entertainment.

(2003-2014)

Nicknames: "Yellow Bursting Eye", "The Blatant Re-Use of Stock Sound Effects"

Logo: On a stormy looking background with blue streaks and orange like lights, a large yellow shape zooms out and rotates into place, revealing itself as actually a painted eye-like shape. "magi" and "eyes" zoom out one by one while the x zooms out last. "ENTERTAINMENT" then blurs in and the eye shines.

FX/SFX: The eye, text and lights. Looks outdated by now, but decent for its time.

Music/Sounds: A weird science fiction-like theme consisting of various synthesized sound effects (flute arpeggios, a dark synthesized drone with synthetic tribal percussions (Roland D-50's "Digital Native Dance" preset), etc.).

Availability: Seen on 20th Century Fox and MGM releases distributed by the company (after the distribution takeover from Musica VideoVan Enterprises in 2003).

Editor's Note: None.
