Imagi Studios

Background

Imagi Studios was a CGI animation company from Hong Kong. The company closed in February 2010, leaving four films that were in production abandoned and unfinished.

1st Logo (March 23-June 5, 2007)

Logo: On a black background, we see some white flashes in the middle of the screen. They then form a stylized red "A", and the white text "IM" and "GI" appear on both sides of the "A", in a connected, stylized font. Two large dots appear on both of the "I"s in "IMAGI", which glow. The text "IMAGI ANIMATION STUDIOS" flips up letter-by-letter underneath.

FX/SFX: The flashing and text appearing.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Rare. Only appeared on TMNT and Highlander: The Search for Vengeance.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (October 23, 2009)

Logo:

Opening: On a black background, two red lines come in from both sides of the screen and move up to form an "A". The rest of "IMAGI", in the same font as before but without the dots, draws itself in, and "STUDIOS" flips in letter by letter, moving from the left and right sides of the text to the middle.
Closing: In a parody of the "When in Hollywood, Visit Universal Studios" closing card from the 70s-80s, an illustration of a tram can be seen passing by a fake movie set, with Astro Boy being seen waving at the movie's own Peacekeeper. The text "When in Hong Kong, Visit Imagi Studios!" with the last three words being in a scripted font in orange.

FX/SFX: Simple animation.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the movie. None for the closing variant.

Availability: Rare. Only seen on Astro Boy, before they shut down in February 2010. The opening variant has also been spotted on Imagi's website's copy of the trailer for the cancelled Cat Tale.

Editor's Note: This logo is considered a wasted effort, especially the closing variant since it quickly became irrelevant just months later.
