Yen Ping Films Productions Ltd.

1st Logo (1987-mid 90s)


Nickname: "The YP in Space"

Logo: On a blue space background we see an abstract silver "YP" flip in from the top of the screen, then lightning bolts form the golden text "YEN PING FILMS PRODUCTION PTELTD" with a Chinese translation above.

Technique: The flipping, the text formation.

Music/Sounds: A powerful horn fanfare.

Availability: Hard to find inside of China or Taiwan. One film that had this logo was Dog Eggs Soldier.

2nd Logo (1999)


Nicknames: "Golden Film Canister", "The Script YP"

Logo: On a black/brown gradient background with searchlights moving, we see a golden filmstrip heading towards what appears to be another golden filmstrip in the circle with two rings above and below it, with the new Yen-Ping logo, which is "yP" in the script font inside the frames of the second golden filmstrip. The camera zooms into the canister and then back out as a golden spinning ring of Chinese characters rises up from the canister and stops when it is in full view. The camera then zooms out and the text "YEN PING FILMS PRODUCTIONS LTD" appears via flash in gold and shines.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: Some whooshes followed by the opening theme to the movie (in Lady in Heat's case, it's Carl Orff's rendition of "O Fortuna" off theCarmina Buranamanuscript).

Availability: Extremely rare to find inside of China or Taiwan. Seen on an Ocean Shores VHS print of Lady in Heat.
