Background
Impact Films Investment Limited (藝能影業有限公司, also known as Movie Impact Limited) was a Hong Kong movie studio that operated from 1981 to 1996.

1st Logo (1981-1996)


Visuals: On a black background, many black lines and polygon shapes morph in with a blue glow, forming an abstract "E". The logo glows brightly before turning white, before the background and logo turn cyan. The Mandarin translation "藝能影業有限公司" wipes in red with a drop shadow, followed by the text "MOVIE IMPACT LIMITED" in black.

Variant: On What a Wonderful World (1996) (the company’s final film), it uses the word "MOVIE IMPACT (PTE) LIMITED" text was used. This logo proceeds to the next logo.

Technique: 2D effects.

Audio: A synth harpsichord ring is heard when the logo is formed. A laser 'zap' is heard when the logo turns white and a calmer harpsichord theme plays, with xylophones playing when the text wipes in.

Availability: Unknown.

2nd Logo (1992-1996)


Visuals: On a black background, a gold stripe slides in, followed by more stripes sliding in and gold polygon shapes flying in, forming the logo from before, but in gold and having a space between the shapes and lines. Th logo then zooms out to the top of the screen, in which a light wipes in the Mandarin characters "藝能電影投資有限公司". "IMPACT FILMS INVESTMENT LIMITED" then fades in below the logo, which shines like a spotlight.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A short version of "Headlines" by Alan Hawkshaw, which was famously used in break bumpers for National Mutual.
