Ossy Affason Production

2nd logo (2000s)

Logo: We fade in from black and slowly pan down to see a brightening light revealing the name "OSSY AFFASON MOVIES", in cyan and 3D save for "AFFASON" and all stacked close together, which is almost in 2D, in a room with a lavender, shiny floor and an indigo and white wall. "MOVIES" places itself further below "AFFASON" as the camera pans up and zooms in a bit. The logo then sparkles before we fade to black.

Technique: Entirely done in 3D CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: An excerpt of "Behold, Bless Ye the Lord" by Praise Strings.

WOWOW IDs

Background

1st known ID (November 29, 1990)

Logo: We quickly zoom into Earth to a picture of a cityscape and pan up. An illustration of a box-shaped satellite, specifically the AS-3000 model BS-3A satellite (also known as Yuri 3A), then flies in from the top-left side of the screen and fires a few laser beams before flying off. The 3D, purple letters "JSB" then rise up from behind the building and sparkle before zooming in as a green laser, likely fired from BS-3A, then hits one of the buildings, causing a white flash of light that causes the background to change to a picture of a white parabolic antenna with the blue label "JSB" on it and the J and B to zoom away diagonally, leaving only the S. The S sparkles again before the words "SCREEN", "SPORTS", "SOUND", "STAGE" and "SHOPPING", all in a variety of colors, fly out from the S and place themselves around the screen. After a brief moment, the words then flash white and disappear save for their starting letters, which then fly around and arrange themselves to the points of the red letter W, which then wipes in before the Ss sparkle and dissolve and the background shrinks away to reveal a space background. The W then flips and zooms out before a white glow fills the screen and turns the letter blue. Two other Ws then slide in and collide with the W, knocking them back a bit to make room for the Os, which leap out of the Ws when they collide. The first O resembles a crudely drawn eye, made up of a green inner ring and a blue outer ring, and has a yellow streak above it that also has two dots, one big and blue and the other small and purple, on both its sides. A row of three small, blue squares zoom by under WOWOW's logo and leave the blue text "World Entertainment Station". The same Earth from before, which now has the same JSB logo, then emerges from the first O in WOWOW's logo, and the background, including WOWOW's logo, fades away back to the space background.

FX/SFX: Simple 2D computer animation.

Music/Sounds: An electronic theme that starts with a piano-like instrument tune followed by a rising tone in turned followed by a high-energy synth theme.

Availability: Extinct. If the linked video is anything to go by, likely seen during WOWOW's "pre-opening" day, which was November 29, 1990.

Unorganized

(1993)

Logo: On a red and purple sunset background, we see, inside of a silver box with many transparent areas, a floating pocket watch and antique globe in front of a fragmented stone wall that is, in turn, in front of a golden frame containing a picture of space, a red planet along with a few blue planets, and patterns consisting of golden, geometric and erratic lines forming squares. We zoom into the frame as the sky turns to night and the frame briefly ripples. Once we enter the picture, we then zoom through two of the geometric lines, and as we do so, we see other planets flying by. Once we zoom inside the third pattern, we see it's a space of some kind, with many film reels scrolling on its left, a blue-purple planet to its right, a water floor with a cloudy, blue sky background, a black-tiled ceiling with a grey-lipped hatch in it, and a silver sphere towards the exit of the space. As we approach the sphere and stop in front of it, a box-shaped satellite (likely one of the BS-3/Yuri-3 satellites) flies out from behind, and as we fly around and away from the sphere, the satellite orbits the sphere, and we can also see another area filled with silver rings made up of spiky segments that soon fades away. We then move towards the hatch, which opens before we fly through and past the satellite and another square pattern to see the dull gold WOWOW logo above the text "World Entertainment System", also in dull gold. All of this is above a grey cross with light grey "X" symbols on its sides and up and down arrows on its top and bottom respectively, which in turn is on a small black square in front of a larger light grey circle. The shapes then fade away to leave the logo slowly flying through a starfield, and the logo then slowly zooms out as two sets of white Japanese text (the top contains the callsign for WOWOW's data transmitter "JO33-BS-TV" above the text "衛星第5チャンネル" while the bottom reads "JSB 日本衛星放送") zoom out and place themselves above and below the logo.

Variants: At least one variant exists that shows the main logo's animation (sans the pattern at the end fading away) playing in reverse until the point where we enter the golden frame, which is when we zoom out to reveal it's inside a colored, shiny version of the "O" in WOWOW's logo (the outer ring and left dot are blue, the inner ring green, the vertical streak yellow and the right dot red), which is on a purple sky background with racing clouds and two shiny lines extending from the foreground to converge in the horizon. The space spot inside the "O" disappears and the rings then zoom in and out and twist a bit rapidly before reverting to their original position and the logo flies to the background, and the left dot squishes a bit. The WOWOW logo from before, now camouflaged with the sky, then appears as the same top and bottom texts from the main logo zoom in and place themselves above and below WOWOW's logo respectively.

FX/SFX: Entirely done in CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: An orchestral theme of some kind featuring whimsical segments. A female Japanese announcer is heard at the end.

Music/Sounds Variants: For the variant, a different orchestral theme also featuring whimsical segments. The same Japanese announcer from the main logo is also heard, this time more towards the middle of the logo's runtime.

Availability: Extinct.

(2001)

Logo: On a black background, we see a blue water drop drip down as the background becomes blue and black. We then zoom into the drop to see a blue, cylindrical satellite with two thick and thin silver rings, one of each, on its bus and a hexagonal reflector antenna, specifically a Hughes HS-376 satellite and possibly representing the BSat 1 satellites, slowly floats towards us while turning around. A picture of Earth fades in behind it as binary code strings, in blue and white and made up of squares, begin flying behind and in front of the satellite. The red, white-bordered callsign "JO23-BS-TV" then fades in in two parts slightly above the center of the screen before WOWOW's logo, in teal, fades in letter-by-letter below it, this while the dark blue words "Stage" and "Movie" move down and up the screen respectively. The Earth, binary strings and satellite then fly and float off the screen as a string of hiragana reading "えいせいテレビジョン", in the same stylization, fades in below WOWOW's logo. The background then darkens to a darker shade of blue and changes to a cloudy sky as we pan to see a lone white parabolic antenna in a grassland with brown mountains in the distance, and the text on-screen fades away. We then fly away from the dish as the text "BS-5ch", in the previous stylization, fades in and then rises when WOWOW's logo, in 3D and teal, spins and flies in before placing itself in the center of the screen, briefly glowing as it does.

FX/SFX: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A peaceful piano piece accompanied by the sounds of water dripping and wooshing. A female announcer speaking in Japanese is also heard reading WOWOW's name and callsigns.

Availability: Extinct.

(2015)

Logo: On a misty mountainscape containing Mount Fuji, at sunrise and with clouds in the sky, we see a white horse with blue eyes while panning to the left. The horse's head suddenly jerks and turns to face us as it begins to stretch and distort before its face becomes that of a sheep's. The horse then very quickly morphs into a white sheep with yellow eyes as the sun rises and golden confetti shoot out from behind the animal. Red Japanese hiragana, which is above WOWOW's logo, also pops into existence.

FX/SFX: CGI animation done by WOW inc. Tokyo.

Music/Sounds: A traditional Japanese tune that was composed by Tomohiro Nagasaki. Sound effects include a light horse neigh, a popping sound when the horse transforms and a sheep bleat.

Availability: Extinct. Was seen during the New Years season in 2015. [[Category:Japan]] [[Category:Japanese television logos]] [[Category:Television logos]]
