Goldcrest Films

1st Logo (April 10, 1981-1991)
Logo: On a black background, we see a red bird zooming out with a sliding effect, then the word "GOLDCREST" appears underneath in the same manner. Some simple shining effects streak over the name and a star flashes on the "G". On Scorchers, the logo was given an enhanced look.

Variants:
 * On some movies released in 1984, the entire logo is red, likely due to film deterioration.
 * On YouTube's print of Rock-A-Doodle, the background is green.

Technique: The shining streak.

Music/Sounds: A "mysterious" tune, but sometimes it will be silent.

Availability: Rare, as it was only seen on a couple of movies; most films released during this era, such as Gandhi, Hope and Glory, and All Dogs Go to Heaven do not have this logo. Can be found on The Ploughman's Lunch, Winter Flight, and The Mission. It can also be found on the 1984 TV miniseries The Far Pavilions, as well as the Trinity Home Entertainment DVD of Scorchers. This strangely plasters the second logo on a YouTube print of Rock-A-Doodle.

2nd Logo (1991)
Logo: We start on a black background as the bird from the previous logo fades in. Afterwards, the word "GOLDCREST" appears in the same manner, starting from central letters, as the background turns murky green.

Variant: On some prints of Rock-a-Doodle, the film is in a dark tint, therefore the green background is very hard to see (as in the video above).

Technique: Only the fading in and out.

Music/Sounds: Silent.

Availability: Rare. Can be found at the end of Rock-a-Doodle as well as the beginning of the Cineplex Odeon/MCA VHS of Scorchers (DVDs use the 1st logo instead) and the Nova Home Video VHS of Black Rainbow. It might also appear on the Media/Fox VHS of Scorchers as well. After this, the company was discontinued and resurrected later as a post-production and artworks studio.

3rd Logo (1996-2000)
Logo: TBA.

Technique: TBA.

Music/Sounds: TBA.

Availability: TBA.

4th Logo (2001)
TBA.

5th Logo (2007-2008)
Logo: We start with a streak of light shining through some golden feathers of the bird, and we zoom out of the goldcrest, similar to the previous one, flying in mid-air. Then it lands on the screen near the black words "GOLDCREST FILMS", all lit up by a golden sun. Then the bird transforms into a 2D picture and all of the logo becomes gold-colored.

Technique: Animation made by Capricorn Digital using Autodesk Maya and Adobe After Effects.

Music/Sounds: TBA.

Availability: Very rare. Can be found across some box covers, actual on-screen appearance was only seen on Elvis and Anabelle and the trailer for Restrepo viewed through Goldcrest's website.

6th Logo (December 26, 2011)
Logo: Same as the Goldcrest Independent logo, but the shadow of the word "INDEPENDENT" is replaced with "GOLDCREST".

Technique: Same as the Goldcrest Independent logo.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the movie.

Availability: So far, it was only seen on The Iron Lady.
