1st Logo (1999?-2008?)
Logo: On a black background, a thick white circular outline zooms out. Within the white portions we see images of what appears to be a filmstrip and other abstract shapes. More pieces zoom out and they form a rhombus, with the abstract shapes becoming visible and resembling the inside of a movie projector. The words "SPICE FACTORY" fade in below.

FX/SFX: The zooming shapes.

Music/Sounds: A faint droning synth chord, with a muted reprise.

Music/Sounds/Variant: On at least one film, it uses two windy synth tunes, ending with a muted reverb.

Availability: Appeared on Jericho Mansions, The Last Sign and Guy X. Possibly also seen on Plots with a View (released internationally as Undertaking Betty), New Blood and Mr In-Between, among many others. It existed as far back as 1999 in the form of a print logo on trailers. This doesn't appear on Merchant of Venice.
