Wanda Pictures

(2013-2015)


Logo: We first see gears rolling and hitting each other. As the camera zooms out, we see an Old-Style ship flying through the clouds, as it passes by one. Then on a sky of clouds, the pirate ship hits another cloud. As the ship rotates to go left, under the words "万达影视" and "WANDA MEDIA", it turns into the Wanda Group symbol. The camera zooms in slowly to the logo.

Variants:
 * On some films, the sky is brighter, the logo is more-centered, and the clouds are much more detailed and slowly pan to the right.
 * On Zhong Kui: Snow Girl and the Dark Crystal, it uses clips from the longer one.

Music/Sounds: An orchestral tune, followed by gears clicking, clock ticking, clashing, whirring and ship sounds.

Availability: Former. Seen on The Man of Tai-Chi, The Palace, Lethal Hostage, and other movies that have been produced/co-produced by the company from 2013 to 2015.

(2015- )


Logo: On a white background, the camera pans down across a bunch of leaves. Two raindrops move across one of them, and they merge and drop down onto another leaf down below. The raindrop then slides down the leaf, coming into contact with two more raindrops, eventually becoming one in the process. We then slowly pan to reveal the entire landscape, including a flower and a mountain. The raindrop falls off the leaf and drops onto the ground, forming a square containing Chinese characters. "WANDA" to the left, and "PICTURES" to the right, are wiped in respectively. On the right hand side of the logo, the Wanda Group symbol appears.

Variants:
 * On some films, the logo starts off just as the raindrop falls down the second leaf.
 * A closing version exists where it starts as the name is being wiped in.

FX/SFX: Mostly 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: The extended version has an oriental composition featuring chimes and a piano, followed by a short orchestral stinger. The shorter version has the opening theme of the film.

Music/Sounds Variant: On Duck Duck Goose, the opening theme of the movie plays.

Availability: Current.
 * The short version debuted in Southpaw, and has been spotted on newer prints of Lion, while the extended version can be seen on Chinese films such as Detective Chinatown, Chongqing Hot Pot, For a Few Bullets, among others.
 * It was also seen on the final official trailer for Wonder Woman, but the logo did appear at the end of the Chinese release. Strangely, it was absent on the American release.

Editor's Note: None.
