Logos[]
1st logo (1991-2003)[]
On a black background, a segmented triangle "stretches" onto the screen. The letters "BMG" then zoom in underneath the triangle as its outline zooms up. "VIDEO" zooms out below, its outline also zooming out, and a dot of light comes in and draws a red line between "BMG" and "VIDEO".
Variant[]
Sometimes "VIDEO" is replaced with "SPECIAL PRODUCTS"; also in this variant, the word "DVD" (in the same color as "BMG" and "SPECIAL PRODUCTS") fades in while the red line is drawn.
2nd logo (1998-2003)[]
On a black background, several grey beams appear before a red light briefly emits. A faded "B" flies onto the screen, then a series of faded "M"s before zooming out to reveal the "G" already placed in it's position to form "BMG" in silver. The same triangle from before but without being segmented flies down above the "M". A line in the triangle's color fades in below "BMG", while the letters for "VIDEO" each turn from the left in the same color as "BMG" separated from each other.
3rd logo (2001-2004)[]
Same as the BMG Independents logo, except the "Independents" text is removed.
4th logo (2010s-)[]
We see the current BMG logo in red fade on black background.
Music/Sounds[]
1st logo[]
A whoosh is heard when the triangle stretches and the letters zoom in. It is followed by a pounding backbeat when the outline for "BMG" takes off, then a synth choir and a "ding" as the red line is drawn.
2nd logo[]
A quiet fanfare followed by high pitched metallic synth sounds the letters for "BMG" make when zooming, the fanfare then escalates loudly as this happens before it ends with a single drum note.
3rd logo[]
A synth fanfare with several metallic notes.
4th logo[]
None.
Scare Factor[]
1st logo[]
Minimal to medium, depending on what you think of the dark mood and music. Otherwise, the logo can be a favorite among most people.
2nd logo[]
Low, the animation and music might get to a few.
3rd logo[]
Low.
4th logo[]
None. This is a boring logo.
