Logo: On a space background, we see a blue centrestar glowing, with the letters of the word "ALIB" in "ALIBABA" being revealed by the light at bottom-left. The light moves slightly right as the rest of the logo fades in. Then the icon of the main company Alibaba Group (the letter "A", drawn by whose turning into a filmstrip with the face of the smiling man), and the words "ALIBABA PICTURES", with the trademark symbol next to the "S" in "PICTURES", underneath it.

Variants:
 * Sometimes, the blue centrestar & the light is absent, and the Chinese translation "阿里巴巴 影业集团", with the trademark symbol next to it, is added underneath the company name.
 * The Chinese text may also read "阿里巴影业"
 * TBA.

Technique: Not much lighting and the revealing by fading in.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme.

Availability: Current. Debuted on Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (domestic releases used the normal version; international releases used the variant). So far, the variation can be seen on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, Star Trek Beyond and Next Gen.
