Platinum Disc Corporation: Difference between revisions

Background: Platinum Disc Corporation was a public domain/budget DVD company. Platinum was founded in 1995 to release DVDs of public domain films for a cheaper price than other companies. Despite their name, Platinum also produced VHS tapes, though these are uncommon. In 2002, Platinum acquired PM Entertainment, an independent film studio, from the [[Harvey Entertainment|Harvey Entertainment Group]]. This allowed Platinum to begin releasing modern films as well as the older movies. In 2005, Platinum merged with Echo Bridge Entertainment to form [[Echo Bridge Home Entertainment]], which would become one of the largest DVD distributors in the country. Echo Bridge continues to use the Platinum brand for some releases.

1st Logo (1997-Early 2000s)

 

2nd Logo

(Early 2000s-2006)

 

Logo: On a dark blue background, we see a DVD disc rotating, when a light source appears behind. The disc rotates to front view and zooms in to show the company name from before written on the surface. The background fades to white, then the logo fades out after a bit.

Variant: On some releases, only the word "''disc''" is shown below the logo. "LLC" is also seen on its top right corner.

FX/SFX: The disc rotating. Decent animation.

Music/Sounds: A light synth-piano theme with a film projector noise, followed by a 7-note oboe tune and people chattering.

Availability: Found on DVDs from this company. It is actually somewhat easier to find than the first logo.

Editor's Note: None.
