Blaine & Blake Ltd.

Background
Blaine & Blake Ltd. was a Taiwanese film production company.

1st Logo (1990-1991)
Logo: On a black background, a golden B with filmstrip holes on the left zooms in. Before it stops, trails of it come from both horizontal sides and go to the center, or, where the B is, and then others from the vertical sides come and do the same. This happens again with all sides and trails. The B crossfades into the logo, which is the same B from before, with another B behind it. The logo shines as the background turns black/blue gradient, and the red Chinese text "香港樂大電影製作有限公司" fades in while the English name "BLAINE AND BLAKE LTD." zooms out after a few seconds.

Technique: The animation screams more 80's than a logo from the time, but these were the standards from a Chinese logo at the time.

Music/Sounds: Dramatic synth chords fanfare with whooshes play, a descending synth crackle, then more synth chords with an ascending/descending synth dings, which are taken from "Star Flight" by Paddy Kingsland.

Availability: Appeared on two Taiwanese movies: Island of Fire (also known as The Prisoner in the U.S.), and Qian ren zhan.

Legacy: The inclusion of Hong Kong ("香港") in the company name despite it being a Taiwanese company was common in Taiwanese cinema at the time.

2nd Logo (1990s?)
Logo: On a blue-black gradient background, we see the entire logo show up, with Chinese characters above the company name. The logo shines for a bit, before cutting to the opening of the film.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: A synth fanfare that sounds dreamy.

Availability: Rare. This was only seen on the Taiwanese cut of Island of Fire. Don't expect it to show up on the HK cut, as the logo above shows up.

Legacy: This logo is alright. It feels like a clunky prototype of the above logo, though.
