Koch Vision

Background

Koch Vision (pronounced "cawch" and not "cook" or "coke") was founded in 1999 as Koch Entertainment's home video division. It disappeared in late 2006, shortly after Entertainment One merged and acquired Koch, and was later rebranded as eOne Films US. It's not to be confused with the European company of a similar name, Koch Media.

1st Logo (1999-2006)

Logo: On a navy blue "sky" background that radiates outwards, we see the words "KOCH" (in a "cut-out" blue font) and "VISION" below in a black font to fit the width of "KOCH". After two seconds, the words "SEE THE FUTURE" in black and in between two black lines flash at the bottom below "VISION". The logo fades out.

Technique: The slogan flashing at the bottom, blurred clouds moving.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Appears on Koch Vision releases such as Popular Mechanics for Kids.

2nd Logo (2000-2005)

Logo: On a black background, we see parts of the word "KOCH" (in a "cut-out" blue font) turn on as the camera rotates and "INTERNATIONAL" in white text flips in letter-by-letter below, the wordmark shines.

Technique: Again, CGI animation.

Variant: A shorter prototype variant exists.

Music/Sounds: The clicking, then a synth drone.

Availability: Used for re-issues of many Koch materials, including a VHS re-issue of Ragdoll. The prototype variant can be found on a VHS re-issue of Backlash: Oblivion 2.

3rd Logo (2006-2009?)

Logo: On a black background, we see the glowing word "KOCH" (in a "cut-out" blue font) flip and zoom out and it stops glowing and "VISION" below shines in a white text, the wordmark shines and logo was below the URL.

Technique: The text rotating, flashing and the word "VISION" shining.

Music/Sounds: A synth string tune.

Availability: Common.
