Orange Sky Golden Harvest Entertainment Co.

Background
Orange Sky Golden Harvest Entertainment (橙天嘉禾娛樂集團有限公司) is a film production, distribution, and exhibition company based in Hong Kong. Founded in 1970 as Golden Harvest (嘉禾娛樂事業集團有限公司) by Raymond Chow and Leonard Ho (both former executives of Shaw Brothers) as well as Leung Fung, it dominated Hong Kong box office sales from the 1970s to the 1980s, supplanting Shaw Brothers as Hong Kong's dominant film studio at the time and played a major role in introducing Hong Kong films to the Western market, especially those by Bruce Lee (Concord Production), Jackie Chan (Golden Way Films), and Sammo Hung (Bo Ho Films). In 1976, it acquired Panasia Films Limited from Andrew G. Vajna (later co-founder of Carolco Pictures). Golden Harvest has also produced a number of films with Jet Li and Donnie Yen. Golden Harvest also produced The Cannonball Run and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trilogy in the United States. In 1993, GH sold their entire film library to STAR-TV (later known as Fortune Star).

In 2004, Li Ka-shing and EMI became shareholders of the company. In 2007, Raymond Chow sold the company to Chinese businessman Wu Kebo, who owns the China-based Orange Sky Entertainment Group. In early 2009, Golden Harvest merged with Orange Sky and was renamed Orange Sky Golden Harvest. From 2009 to 2011 it was operated by Kelvin Wu King Shiu who become the CEO of the company. At that time Golden Harvest announced their relaunch and previewed a new trailer set for movies in 2010.

Logo (2009-)


Visuals: The screen zooms out from the steam of wheat in a golden wheat field. From this wheat, a light moves out of it and above the wheat field. The light then descends and flattens the wheat field. When the screen zooms out, the unflattened wheat is the 1978 logo. The field then wipes out, forming a bronze CGI version of the "Rectangle G" as the logo straightens and white letters in both Cantonese and English reveal the company's name.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Same as the 2002 Golden Harvest logo, but with added ambiance sounds from the field.

Audio Variant: On some prints of 玻璃樽 (Gorgeous), music from the 1998 TriStar Pictures logo plays over this logo due to a reverse plaster error.

Availability: Appears on all current films produced and distributed by Orange Sky Golden Harvest.
