Logo: Over a starry space background, a glowing yellow "GP" shaped object zooms towards us. Then the object stops zooming and dims its glowing, and the words "GOLDEN PRINCESS AMUSEMENT CO. LTD." with "PRESENTS" below zooms in below. Finally, the Cantonese text "金公主娛樂有限公司" in red zooms out while the starry space continues to sparkle.

FX/SFX: The glows, the zooming, and the sparkling starry space background.

Music/Sounds: Starts with a drumroll, followed by a loud horn fanfare ("Breakout No. 9" by Jack Trombey from the De Wolfe Music Library).

Music/Sounds Trivia: The stock fanfare was also used in Monty Python & the Quest for the Holy Grail (a 1996 adventure game by 7th Level, based on the 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail) at when you finally get the Holy Grail.

Availability: Ultra rare/possibly extinct. It was originally used as a cinema logo and was seen before the "Coming Attraction" trailers. As a film distributor, it was seen on films such as The Raid, The Royal Scoundrel and strangely at the end of Angel Hunter. It is retained on the Mei Ah DVD of the former film, before the 3rd Cinema City Co. logo. It is also retained on a HK DVD print of The Royal Scoundrel.

Editor's Note: None.
