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 a sky of clouds, as it passes by one. Then as the ship rotates to go left, it hits another cloud, and passes by and under the words "万达影视" and "WANDA MEDIA", on a blue sky with small clouds on the top, and big, puffy ones on the bottom, before it turns into the Wanda Group symbol. A bright light shines at the back of the logo. The camera zooms in slowly to the logo.

Variants:
 * On some films, the logo is more zoomed in, and the clouds move faster.
 * On films such as Man of Tai Chi, the logo is seen in its final seconds.
 * On Zhongkui: Snow Girl and the Dark Crystal, the logo overlaps with the same thing in another position.

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

Availability: No longer current. Seen on 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.

Technique: 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.
