Goldig Films (H.K.) Ltd.

Background
Goldig Films was founded by Indonesian entrepeneurs/filmmakers Alex Gouw and Hendrick Gozali in early 1970s, that distributed Hong Kong films overseas until 1981.

1st Logo (1972-1979)
Nicknames: "The Filmstrip G"

Logo: On a colored background, usually orange or red, we see a dark blue filmstrip "G" wiping in segment to segment (it briefly pauses after each segment is wiped). Then, "GOLDIG FILMS (H.K.) LTD." in white wipes in from the left and its Chinese translation below it, also in white, wipes in from the right together with the English text.

Variants:


 * An early variant exists. The G has a shadow effect and is in cyan, the background is brighter, the animation for the text appearing is completely different, and the text is in yellow. "LTD." is omitted, probably because it was not implemented yet then.
 * The still variant has a darker G and black text. Like the above variant, "LTD." is also omitted. This variant used different music (see below).
 * A black background variant also exists.

FX/SFX: The wiping, the text appearing. For the still version, obviously none.

Music/Sounds: A majestic horn-driven fanfare ("Fanfare C" by James Howe, off the The International Studio Orchestra's Roving Report album from the De Wolfe Music Library). However, the still variant uses a different majestic, bombastic trumpet fanfare ("Film Finale" by Roger Roger). Sometimes, it's silent.

Availability: Rare. It is seen in some movies from Hong Kong of the era. The early variant can be found on early films such as Black Belt.

Editor's Note: The still variant of this logo was later adapted for Hendrick Gozali's film company in Indonesia, Garuda Film, which was used for far longer into the 90s.

2nd Logo (1979-1980)
Nicknames: "The Vortex G", "Spinning Vortex G"

Logo: Against an orange background, we see a spinning blue vortex-like abstract letter "G" made of 4 blue trapeziums zooming in. After it stops, the company name in both English and Chinese appears below the G via recycled animation of the text from the last logo.

Variants: Here are the variants:


 * The early variant has the G staying still when it zooms; it does not spin.
 * Goldlog Films Variant: Apparently, it was a division owned by Goldig Films. The variant has "GOLDIG" is replaced by "GOLDLOG" and the translation is slightly changed.

FX/SFX: The spin, zoom and wipe. More action is going on here than the previous logo.

Music/Sounds: Same as the normal variant of the previous logo.

Availability: Extremely rare, considering that it was short-lived. Again, seen on some Hong Kong films of the time, such as Two Wondrous Tigers.

Editor's Note: None.
