1st Logo (2004)


Visuals: We start off as a foggy night sky with a giant moon seen, while it slowly zooms out. Then, the moon brightens, making the sky change to a close-up of a white illustration of a hand holding a Film Reel in a graveyard on a black background. The Company name can be seen stacked at the bottom of it.

Technique: 2D Animation.

Audio: Distorted crow sounds can be heard throughout the logo. A loud explosion can also be heard when the moon brightens.

Availability: Only known to be seen on the company's print of Men Behind the Sun 4.

Legacy: The sounds (especially the unnecessary explosion sound), the atmosphere, & the animation are enough to scare the audience.
