Nickname: "The Shield in Space"

Logo: We see the golden edge of the WB shield moving, similar to the 1998 Warner Bros. logo. We can see the transparent WB (without the banner), China Film and Hengdian Group logos floating inside. Then the shield rotates to its normal position, with two arcs with glowing filmstrip sprockets, when it rotates, connected behind, and then it loses the sprockets when it's finished. The shield is blue with golden outline, no banner, it has two "arrows", filled and empty, inside it. Then the name comes below in Chinese, and the translation Warner China Film HG.

Trivia: The logo is a hybrid of the WB shield, the China Film arcs and the Hengdian Group triangles.

FX/SFX: Detailed and graphic animation, like in other Eastern film studios' logos.

Music/Sounds: A nice oriental soundtrack with xylophone entries and drumbeats.

Availability: Rare. Can be seen on Bo chi tung wah and the American-Chinese co-production The Painted Veil (excluding the Blu-ray).

Editor's Note: This is a good experience after the regular WB logo.
