Greater Union Cinemas

(1990s)


Logo: Against a starry background, a series of colored searchlights appears (red, blue, green and violet). A filmstrip then appears, briefly containing the lights within a sprocket hole before zooming out, following by four additional filmstrips following it in pattern. The five filmstrips then turn sideways and transform into a series of golden stars which join together as the camera zooms out and the searchlights return to focus. The Greater Union logo appears and encompasses the center star within the "A" as it slides into position. When the logo is fully visible, it is revealed that another star has been encompassed within the "O". Both stars fly off the screen in a "trailing" effect. A blue-tinted glow appears across the entire image, and remains until the logo fades out.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: A triumphant brass fanfare which incorporates Greater Union's iconic jingle near the end.

Availability: Seen on every Greater Union theater right before the movie during the early to mid 1990s.
