2nd Logo (1990-2000s)

• 
• 

Nickname: "Rainbow Magnolia II", "Star Magnolia", "World's Best Cheesy Logo"

Logo: On a blue background, we see a globe rotating on the bottom of the screen. Above it is a star emitting sparks (similar to how the radio tower on the RKO logo emit signals). Then, the globe stops rotating with the Korean peninsula highlighted in pink, and a pink light comes out of it and illuminates the star, which morphs into a magnolia. The light disappears, and two pink outlines split from the magnolia into Korean characters in circles. The characters give out small multicolored dots to the magnolia, and after that they morph into a black tube with rainbow streaks behind the magnolia. After all of that, 5 multicolored lines with white squares come out from the magnolia. We zoom in to the magnolia, and when we do, the background changes into a black background with pink stars and lines. 5 circles zoom out from the lines, which disappear, and the company name in Korean in red zooms out to underneath the magnolia, then another set of lines and circles appear and does the same way, but with the same Korean company name, but with a rainbow effect within the words, zooms out and overlays the red company name. Finally, "MOKRAN VIDEO" zoom in with a trail effect, then dissolves into pink petals, causing the flashing grid road below and some bubbles around it to appear.

Trivia: The magnolia flower shown is the Magnolia sieboldii, North Korea's national flower.

Variant: There is a early version, where the land in the Earth is colored tan. The star is not in the variant, and the pink light are dots. The background never changes.

FX/SFX: Pure 2D and Scanimate animation.

Music/Sounds: A dreamy synth theme with futuristic noises thrown in to it.

Availability: Seen on all Mokran Video releases from 1990 to the 2000's, which are virtually impossible to find outside the country, in the country, it's most likely not much easier. Your best bet to find this logo is by sheer luck.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (2000s-)

Nickname: "Rainbow Magnolia III"

Logo: We fade in to see a computerized shot of the ocean at sunset. A closed magnolia is seen spinning by fading in and slowly opens, as the ocean background turns pink. Two Korean letters then appear from the sides and place below the spinning magnolia. An arc of text then drops down from the magnolia and spreads to reveal "Mokran Video", and the ocean background turns green, before going normal again. Sparkles appear on the text and magnolia.

FX/SFX: The flower rotating, the text moving, the background fading.

Music/Sounds: A piano/string piece.

Availability: Unknown, likely the same case as above when looking for it, but can be found on Moran Hill.

Editor's Note: None.
