Hoover Film Company

(1960s)


Logo: On a black background, we see 2 massive laurel wreaths with two chinese characters vertically aligned in a third dimensional font (which both translate to "Hoover") in between the wreaths, and below it is a set of white Chinese text, which translates to "Film Co." and which looks like the Cinemascope font. There are also some point-like things on the upper side of the screen, which looks like a starfield.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: A depressing but at the same time bombastic fanfare which ends on a happy note.

Availability: Extremely rare. So far, this was seen on Story of the Sword and the Sabre.

Legacy: The overall weirdness of the logo along with the fanfare can startle some first-time viewers, especially to those who are used to it.
