Filmways Home Video (Australia)

Background: This label has nothing to do with the American company of the same name, but is rather a subsidiary of Filmpac Holdings. However, this label did not last long, and was phased out in 1989, in which Filmpac released films under its own label.(Mid 1980s-1989) Nickname: "The Metal Dot (Of Doom)"Logo: On a black background, two rainbow strips appear, the bottom moving up and the top one going down. Then, suddenly, they form a lowercase F with the top half containing rainbow colors and a black BG, and the bottom half containing the opposite (a little map of Australia fades in in the lower left corner of the screen, as well). Then, it zooms out to the left in a filmstrip, on a blue background. Then, a metallic dot writes "Filmways". After it's done, it moves over to the F in "Filmways". "HOME VIDEO" fades in at the bottom. Sometimes, the byline "Released through VIDEO CLASSICS" will fade in. FX/SFX: The metal dot, the rainbow background, "HOME VIDEO" fading in.Music/Sounds: A ominous-sounding drumroll, then as the metallic dot writes the name, some high-pitched chime noises, then, as it stops, a synth stinger.Availability: Extremely rare; may be found on Australian PAL tapes of the period, as well as some Video Classics tapes.

The 7 stars glow one by one and we later see a curved, filmstrip-like ribbon with a shield in the middle with the word "Fincine" on the ribbon in script font fading in. After all the stars have finished glowing inside the shield, we see the word "presenta" in another script font fading in below.FX/SFX: The shining and the fading.Music/Sounds: Some eerie theremin notes plays with a piano portion and then an orchestral theme, with more of the theremin note's hearing at the end.Availability: If you find an old (for instance) Vestron Video International PAL tape from Italy, it might have this logo on it. Might turn up on TCM or AMC from time to time, too. However, it can be found on <a href="https://youtu.be/pl4JPMwFaHM?t=21" target="_self">Luci del varietà</a>, on YouTube.Editor's Note: The eerie theme, along with the theremin mixed with the dark background could cause some major scares and chills and also can make people off guard, but the animation and orchestra theme is sort of relaxing, if you don't care about that very loud theremin melody.

Fine Line Features

Logo description by Matt WilliamsLogo captures by Eric S., Bob Fish, and wolfie14Editions by V of DoomBackground: Fine Line Features (also spelled as "FineLine Features") was the specialty movie division of New Line Cinema established in 1990 to release films of a more "indie" flavor than its parent company. In 2005, New Line teamed up with fellow Time Warner subsidiary HBO Films to form "Picturehouse", a then-new specialty film label of which Fine Line was folded into.(March 10, 1991-June 10, 2005) Nicknames: "Abstract F", "F-Director's Block"Logo: Over a black background, a thin, glowing horizontal blue line fades-in, dividing the screen in half. Then, a horizontal white line draws itself inside. The entire line rotates clockwise and shrinks a bit in the process. When the line becomes vertical, it rotates again, revealing an abstract "F" (it really looks like a corner) with a steelish tint. Then, from behind, a rectangle moves clockwise, and moves itself to the top of this "F" shape. It forms an angle, much like a director's block. Around the same time, a blue spotlight/circle backdrop forms behind this shape. The following text fades in: FINELINE FEATURES(This sandwiched between 2 horizontal lines.) The tops of both shapes shine afterwards. The respective company byline is seen below.Bylines: March 10, 1991-1997: "A division of New Line Cinema" 1997-December 22, 2000: "A Time Warner Company" January 26, 2001-October 24, 2003: "An AOL Time Warner Company" April 2, 2004-June 10, 2005: "A TimeWarner Company"A bylineless version exists. Variants: In 2000, the words "10TH ANNIVERSARY: 1990-2000" spin around the logo, coming to a stop in an arc around the logo. There was a still logo that has the "F" with "FINELINE" and "FEATURES" stacked together. Lines are on top and bottom of the company name and the New Line Cinema byline below. This appeared on the trailer for An Angel at My Table.From 1999, this logo was videotaped and made smoother, and the font size was increased for "FINELINE FEATURES". FX/SFX: Very nice CGI effects, similar to its parent's logo, but also reminiscent of the United Artists "Turning UA" logo.Music/Sounds: None, but on Head Above Water, it has a shortened version of the logo with the Tig Productions jingle. Very likely an editing goof.Availability: Scarce. Seen on independent/art-house films produced by the studio. It was first seen on Shadow of China and was last seen on The Bridge of San Luis Rey.

Firaxis Games

Logo descriptions by TM123 Photos by TM123Editions by SnowflakesOmega Background: Firaxis is an American video game developer based on Sparks, Maryland. It was founded by Sid Meier and his fellow developers in 1996, known for the Civilization games, as well as other strategy titles. The company primarily produces strategy games. It is a subsidiary of 2K Games. 1st Logo(1997-1999)Nickname: "Razor-Swirl" Logo: We see a blue grid on a dark background, then the camera zooms out and looked forward to reveal the "FIRAXIS" text in front of bright light. The gird "transforms" into the blue line in the logo and the light diminished to a red circular vortex above the company name. The vortex then turned into a swirl with razor-like edges, and the word "GAMES" is formed below the blue line. Variant: In Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, the logo is seen on a tiled block with two robotic arms pressing on it. When the tile is inserted, the arms move away from the block. Robotic movement sounds similar to the one heard in the other variant is heard when the arms are in motion. FX/SFX: CGI animation.Music/Sounds: A robotic movement sound effect, a post-boom explosion sound, and a "beam" synth in the last effect. Availability: The main variant is seen on the intros of Sid Meier's Gettysburg! and Sid Meier's Antietam!, and the variant is only seen on the intro of Alpha Centauri. Editor's Note: None.2nd Logo(2001-) Logo: The Firaxis logo is colored gold and its swirls are much more slender than the previous logo. It also lacks a dark colored interior. In its debut in Civilization III, it fades in from a white background.Variants: In the opening of Sid Meier's SimGolf, the logo is seen from a blimp passing by the screen. In Sid Meier's Pirates!, a pirate (probably the player) discovers an old piece of paper with the logo adorned. In Civilization IV, its expansions, and CivCity: Rome, the logo spawns above an old piece of paper that details fighters on a desktop. In Sid Meier's Railroads!, the logo spawns in a model train layout, with the same audio from Civilization IV plus model train sounds. In Civilization Revolution, the logo is drawn by a caveman in rock along with the 2K Games logo. In Civilization IV: Colonization, the logo fades in from a dark background with in slightly different sound from the first logo. In Civilization V and expansions, the logo also appears in a dark background, but fades in/out with a swiping effect. It also has a more distinctive synth sound played. In XCOM: Enemy Unknown, the logo appears on an electrostatic surface on light blue with static and sinister noises. Here, the logo got vanished by electric shortage.FX/SFX: CGI in most variants.Music/Sounds: The generic variants as well as few others has a gentle synth sound playing. The remainder often has a song playing from the clip it was seen.Availability: Common. The games remain to be a staple to PC gaming, and most titles remain to be easily found. The games can be downloaded from Steam and other services.Editor's Note: None.

A trademark symbol, the words "H O M E V I D E O" in lines, and a copyright stamp for USA Entertainment, Inc. fade in below. After about three seconds, all the text except for "FIREWORKS" disappears, and"FIREWORKS" spins clockwise, shrinking and fading into the background.FX/SFX: Choppy 2D computer animation.Music/Sounds: The sound of a fuse as the sparks form "FIREWORKS," followed by a triumphant orchestral fanfare as the color and other text fades in, then a warbling whoosh as"FIREWORKS"spins and fades out.Availability: Ultra rare.

A few seconds later, the text stretches vertically and morphs into four lines: blue, burgundy, pink, and red, each flipping over one at a time to the profiles of Newman, Poitier, Streisand, and McQueen respectively facing right. The background darkens, and after that happens, the profiles/lines shrink vertically, as the word "presents" in white, and with the same Mistral font, fades in.FX/SFX: The stretching, the shrinking, the flipping. Seem to be Scanimate effects.Music/Sounds: The opening main title music.Availability: Extremely rare.
