Yen Ping Films Productions Ltd.

1st Logo (1987-mid 90s)


Logo: On a space background, we see an abstract  "YP" flip in from the top of the screen, then lightning bolts form the golden text "Arial" with a Chinese translation above.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: A powerful horn fanfare.

Availability: Hard to find inside of China or Taiwan. One film that had this logo was Dog Eggs Soldier.

2nd Logo (March 1, 1999)


Logo: On a black/brown gradient background with searchlights moving, we see a golden filmstrip heading towards what appears to be another golden filmstrip in the circle with two rings above and below it, with the then-new Yen-Ping logo, which is "yP" in the script font inside the frames of the second golden filmstrip. The camera zooms into the canister and then back out as a golden spinning ring of Chinese characters rises up from the canister and stops when it is in full view. The camera then zooms out and the text "YEN PING FILMS PRODUCTIONS LTD" appears via flash in and shines.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: Some whooshes followed by the opening theme to the movie (in Lady in Heat ' s case, it's Carl Orff's rendition of "O Fortuna" off the Carmina Buranamanuscript).

Music/Sounds Variant: In at least one movie, the Trimark Pictures theme plays.

Availability: Seen on an Ocean Shores VHS print of Lady in Heat.
