Winfair Productions Ltd.

(June 8, 1995)


Logo: On a space background, an angular prism rotates around and then 2 beams of light slice the prism into 3 pieces. One of the pieces then move away as the 2 other pieces morph into 2 Chinese characters. It then flickers as we zoom out to reveal a shiny filmstrip with the characters on every pane. It then slows down and then in quick succession, it shortens into a single silver pane as 10 beams of light appear and move out from the top and bottom of the pane and then the characters in blue then zoom in. Blue Chinese characters appear below it one by one and 2 lights wipe in "WINFAIR PRODUCTIONS LTD." below.

Technique: The prism, two slices of the prism, the morph to Chinese characters, the filmstrip, and the formation of the logo. Presumably a combination of 2D animation an CGI.

Music/Sounds: An ominous synth effect score, ending with a cheerful fanfare, which is that of the Art Sea Films Company music.

Availability: Ultra rare. Only known to be seen on Da hua ying xiong (Lying Hero).

Legacy: The nature of this logo is pretty ominous, and the sudden change out of a filmstrip, breaking glass, the fanfare and the darkness would unsettle people who aren't used to it.
