FilmUnit

(June 11, 1980)


Note: This logo is NOT Nazi-related.

Logo: We see a blurry white background. It then reveals its blur, zooming out, which is an abstract "NI" with the N being curved and the I is on the last line of the N. An orange square with the swatiska resembles the point of the I. Below it is the company’s name "FILMUNIT" in an evil-red-orange font, that looks like a british old imprint script, on a black background.

Trivia: It should be noted that even though it was adopted by the Nazis in the 1920s, the swastika originated in the late Paleolithic period (the oldest known archaeological record is from 10,000 BC in Mezine, modern Ukraine), and has appeared all across the world, especially in Asia, where it has been used by Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism from the 5th century BC up to today. It usually means "good luck". This logo uses the original version of the symbol, instead of the Nazi version which was tilted at a right angle.

Technique: Simple blurring and zoom-out effects.

Music/Sounds: A series of uninteligible pings made by a synth piano, and then three fast, ascending notes played by the said instrument.

Availability: Seen only on Man Pasand.
