Changchun Film Studio

Background
Changchun Film Studio (长春电影制片厂) is a Chinese film studio located in Changchun, Northeast China.

1st Logo (1950s-1960s)


Visuals: On a black background is the hanzi 長春電影製片厂(Changchun Film Studio) and the copyright year below it.

Technique: None.

Audio: The opening theme of the movie, or none.

Availability: Seen on a handful of 1950s Changchun films. Some films used a simple in-credit notice instead though.

2nd Logo (1960-196?)
Visuals: We see the same text from before, in a different font and without the year, set upon a marble background. Also exists as an in-credit logo.

Technique: None.

Audio: The opening theme of the movie.

Availability: It was also seen on its Gevacolor film The Naval Battle of 1894.

3rd Logo (1964-1980s)


Visuals: Again, the text from before, but in Simplified Chinese, minus the tiny Chinese characters underneath and on a black background. The font looks handwritten, which makes this different from the other Changchun logos.

Technique: None.

Audio: The opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Unknown.

4th Logo (1971-1972)


Visuals: On a red background, we see a worker-peasant-soldier (gongnong-bing) type statue. The text is below. The statue slowly rotates to the left.

Technique: Live-action model work.

Audio: A proud bombastic fanfare.

Availability: Unknown.

5th Logo (1973)
Visuals: On a sky (or red) background is another worker-peasant-soldier type statue. The company name is below. The statue rotates to the right, but on later films, this logo is still.

Technique: Live-action model work. None for the later variant.

Audio: Same as before.

Availability: Unknown.

6th Logo (1974-1980)
Visuals: We see a worker-peasant-soldier statue over a background (either red, green, or blue). The company name is below. This logo is still.

Technique: None.

Audio: Same as before.

Availability: Unknown.

7th Logo (1980-2000's)
Visuals: Superimposed over the live-action background, we see a Chinese text from the 1960s logo, which is in a different font.

Technique: None.

Audio: The opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Survived from the 1980s-1990s, which is easy to find than 3rd logo, but is a common to find Changchun logos. It was seen on some movies produced by the company, which can be viewed either YouTube, youku or 1905.com.
