FLT Films International

Background
FLT Films International was a Philippine film company. The company made films from the 1980's to 2006, when their last film Pacquiao: The Movie (which was a collaboration with Star Cinema/ABS-CBN) was released. Following the closure, the entire FLT Films International library (including the distribution rights to the 2003 RCP Productions film Alab ng Lahi) were later brought by Viva Communications (thru Viva Films) with the exception of the films Di Puwedeng Hindi Puwede!, Ooops, Teka Lang... Diskarte Ko 'To! and Pacquiao: The Movie were remained with Star Cinema.

1st Logo (December 27, 1991-1994)


Visuals: On a black background, a 2D film reel rolls in. It is still spinning when it stops. Then the yellow filmstrip comes out of the reel, goes to us and zooms, making the screen fully yellow. The yellow screen zooms out to reveal a glowing "F", in a futuristic font. The F moves to the left to give space to the letters "L" and "T", forming "FLT", which then glows red and "FILMS INTERNATIONAL", in white/blue gradient, fades in below.

Variants:
 * Some films feature a darker logo.
 * Early films have the logo flashing instead of glowing red.Technique: The film reel, the filmstrip coming out of the reel, zooming effects, and glowing. 2D animation that fits the 90s' Philippine logo standards.

Audio: Early films had a bright synth note, along with a warbling sound, a weird sound, a whoosh and bells. Later films had another theme: a deep sound resembling a film projector, then another weird sound, followed by a dark 2-note string theme.

Audio Variants: On Tatak Ng Criminal, the opening theme of the movie was used.

Availability: The company's films range from soft-core to action-based. Some examples that include the logo are Moro and Anak ng Pasig.

Legacy: The logo might scare some due to the filmstrip coming to the screen and dark music.

Visuals: Unknown

Technique: Unknown

Audio: Silent, but on Batang Estero a whoosh sound is heard.

Availability: Appears on some films like Epimaco Velasco: NBI.

3rd Logo (1998-2001)


Visuals: Over a black background, the logo starts with red/blue filmstrips appearing and making the FLT from before, then it zooms out while rotating. Once it stops, the logo flashes in quickly, then "FILMS INTERNATIONAL", in yellow, slides in below. A copy of the same text, but in cyan, appears at the left, slides and places behind the original text.

Variants: There is a prototype version where the FLT logo flashes twice between "FILMS INTERNATIONAL" slides in then after that it shines, this was seen on Tulak ng bibig, Kabig ng dibdib.

Technique: The logo being formed by filmstrips, zooming out and flashing. "FILMS INTERNATIONAL" sliding in.

Audio Variants:
 * On Di' pwedeng, Hindi pwede!, a triumphant fanfare is heard.

 * On Virgin Wife (the last movie to use this logo), you can hear drumbeats along with ascending fanfare.Availability: This can be found on their films during the late 90's and early 00's, before their next logo was introduced.

Then "Films International" appears by white rays of light below it.
