Africa Production (Algeria)

(2000's)

Visuals: First there is a black screen, which then transition to the text "AFRICA PRODUCTION" over a stock image of a dark forest with dead trees. The logo then zooms out to reveal that its on a TV in a blue room with a footage of a sunset at the ocean, and next to it is the same footage with "Cite Grande terre Bt E9 n:901 ORAN Tel 041465329" in a Verdana font. Then the TV then zooms in giving it a better shot.

Technique: A transition and the TV zooming in and out, all done by a computer but...

Cheesy Factor: ...Resembles like many Nigerian logos at the time. The font for logo looks like it came from a horror movie, and so does the background itself. The music also sounds like an Indian song.

Audio: A dark African theme

Availability: TBA.  [Examples?]

Scare Factor: Medium, thanks to the music and the fact how the logo looks.
Ultimate Production (Ethiopia)

1st Logo (2015)

Visuals: Over a brown space environment, there is a brown-colored planet (looking like a dead earth) with a sun at the top. The planet then explodes, leaving just the sun, which then shrinks and moves down as "ULTiMATE" in a digital computer font fade in along with "Productions" under it.

Technique/Cheesy Factor: The planet exploding, the sun shrinking and moving down and the text fading in, really cheap looking effects and animation for it's place and era.

Audio: Just the sound of a explosion.

Availability: Seen on Fitsamew.

Scare Factor: Low, the loud explosion can catch people of guard because of how jarring it is, but it's nothing compared below...

2nd Logo (2016)

Visuals: There is a close up of a globe spinning over a moving smoke, which the camera zooms out to reveal at it is on top of a stone tower as the camera zooms out. The camera zooms out to reveal some yellow lines, the ration becomes shorter during this. Then the lines spins, revealing "Ult mate". Then "Production" in a golden texture then rises up from the screen and under the text.

Technique: CGI.

Cheesy Factor: ***OFF THE GOOD CHARTS!*** Why did the ratio becomes short when the logo is almost fully zoomed out. Also the appearance of the logo is way too sudden because the music stars during the black screen before the logo, making the start of the logo so dramatic thanks to the music in this logo. Wow another cheesy Ethiopian logo made.

Audio: A soft quiet synth theme, which turns into a loud whoosh when the logo begins, then it turns into a soft synth note held throughout the entire logo.

Availability: Seen on *Kahine*.

Scare Factor: Depends on you think of the logo, it ranges to minimal to nightmare. The sudden appearance of the logo can give people some jump-scares to many, the loud whoosh at the start can also be a big problem because it very loud. But the cheesiness and the soft note can calm down the logo's scariness.
Truth Film Production (Ethiopia)

(2015)

Visuals: On a dim teal background, a aquamarine light is seen drawing a outlined rhombus split into four pieces. Three of the rhombuses get filled with white while the fourth is filled with blue.

The text "FILM PRODUCTION" wipes in under the big text, and a line draws in under the small text as the Amharic text "እውነት ፊልም ፕሮዳክሽን" appears under the line.

Visuals: On a moving sunburst background with blue and white rays on it, there is a dark cyan Oscar in the middle of the screen. On the left side is the text in Arabic, and on the right, another text, which translation is the text "OSCAR FILMS" in a squiggly white font. Below it is the text "Presents" in Arabic.

Technique: Cel animation.

Cheesy Factor: The Arabic text is hard to read, and the award looks pretty odd (noticeable because of the tacky color scheme), along with the sunsets, which are ominous.

Audio: The opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Seen on *My Wife's Goblin* and *Forbidden on the Wedding Night*.

Scare Factor: Low to high, because of the very strange coloring scheme of the Oscar along with the bombastic fanfare, which would scare more than a few. Others may not be affected by this.

Then the text "ያዩት ፊልም" draws in letter by letter.

Technique/Cheesy Factor: 2D hand drawn animation, which looks crude for the 10's, and also even for it place and time.

Audio: A funky soft African string theme.

Availability: Seen on LkNegn.

Scare Factor: None to minimal.
Shewaferaw Theatre, Film & Advertising Promotion (Ethiopia)

(2012)

Visuals: On a timelapse sky with clouds & a rainbow, there is a filmstrip fly inside the screen. It later forms the letter S in a shape of a clef note.

Technique: None.

Audio: A horror-sounding dramatic theme made by trumpets, accompanied by a shrill of a violin.

Scare Factor: Low to high, the non-stopping increasing music along with the dark animation can surely scare viewers.

After the war, the studio facilities remained in the Soviet occupation zone and was renamed DEFA, quickly returning to production, becoming the main film studio in the DDR and created many acclaimed movies until it closed in 1992. In West Germany, the film industry remained long dormant, although Universum Film AG was resurrected in the 1950s.

(January 29, 1930-1945)

Visuals: There is the UFA signature logo taken into a rhombus. Other details depend on the movie shown.

Variants:

* In early years, the construction was thinner.
* On *Munchausen*, the logo looks like neon-tubes, the rhombus is red and "Filmkunst" appears in a decorative font
* On *Kolberg*, the background is blue and the logo has a purple metallic look.
* On American releases of *Metropolis*, the Paramount print logo is underneath the UFA logo.

Technique: None.

Cheesy Factor: The design of the early variant looks a bit blurry and ugly.

Audio: None.

Availability: Was regularly seen on German films made in the 1930s-1940s, such as *Munchausen*, *Der Blaue Engel*, or *Kolberg*.

Scare Factor: None to low.
Compagnie Artistique Assoussoue (Chad)

(2000's)

Visuals: Over a black background, the following stacked text is shown at the center:

Compagnie Artistique
Assoussoue

Audio: The opening theme of the movie.

Availability: TBA.  [Examples?]

Scare Factor: None.
Rex Motion Picture Company (United States)

### Background

The Rex Motion Picture Company was founded in 1905 in the United States after the failure of Edwin S. Porter's Defender Film Company. Edwin S. Porter, Joseph Engel, and William Swanson were the founders of Rex, which produced many films from 1910 to 1917 and was based in New York City. The company had a crown emblem. Lois Weber made a name for herself in the film industry while working at Rex. In 1912, Rex acquired the film properties of the Gem Motion Picture Company and released them under its own name. Rex would later merge with several other film companies into the Universal Film Manufacturing Company.

(February 1-November 21, 1912)

Visuals: There is a radiant crown over a black background, with the rays of the crown extending into a sunburst. "REX" in an Old English font is arched above the crown. The film's title is superimposed over the crown.

Variants: On *Leaves in the Storm*, a notice for the Universal Film Manufacturing Company is visible.

Technique: None.

Audio: Presumably the opening theme or none.

Availability: Seen on *Fine Feathers*, *Leaves in the Storm*, and *The Debt*.

Scare Factor: None.
Cyestma Films (South Africa)

Cyestma Films was one of the several B-scheme subsidy film companies in South Africa during the apartheid era, producing films made for the black audience who often did not have access to mainstream entertainment.

(1980-1984)

Visuals: On a black background, the following is seen in a bold Futura font:

CYESTMA FILMS
PRESENTS

Trivia: The opening credits of their films are often styled like this logo.

Technique: None.

Audio: The opening theme.

Availability: Seen on *Hostage* and *Under Cover*.

Scare Factor: Low to high.
Nu Metro Home Entertainment (South Africa)

1st Logo (1987-1995)

Nickname: "Neon Mountain"

Technique: On a black-red gradient background, a group of periwinkle-colored lines shoot out from below. They rotate into place, forming a mountain. A rainbow-colored copy of the mountain spins around while it zooms into place, from the right side of the screen. A giant "N" zooms out, and "NU METRO", in a blocky font, flips up, and both "PRESENTS" and "BIED AAN" (Afrikaans for "Presents") fade in.

Technique: All the animation in the logo...

Cheesy Factor: ...which is typical by 1980s standards.

Audio: An upbeat synth tune that sounds like something out of MTV or VH1 at the time.

Availability: Check an old South African PAL VHS on eBay for this logo.

Scare Factor: Low.

2nd Logo (1995-2011)

Nickname: "Underwater Jungle"

Visuals: There is a large drop of water fall into a close-up of water ripples. The camera travels through what looks like a jungle of trees and colored comets as two comets collide and lights swirl and twirl around, forming the Nu Metro logo from before, but with the N colored white and with a purple drop shadow. Purple lines then shoot out from the upper-right, filling in the white border surrounding the mountain. Lights then zoom out to reveal "NU METRO" (in white), and the logo cuts to black.

Technique: All the animation in the logo.

Audio: While a synthesized humming sound is heard, we hear a "splash", birds chirping, two more synth tones, a laser zap, high-pitched laser zaps sounding like an alarm, and a series of "clunks".

Availability: Common. Again, only seen on PAL tapes in South Africa. (Might be on Region 2 DVDs there as well), often being followed by the Walt Disney Home Entertainment logo, though the "Sorcerer Mickey" logo would be followed before 1996.

Scare Factor: High; the music could catch you off-guard, but other than that, it's not a bad logo.

3rd Logo (2011- )

Visuals: On a dark blue spinning space background, a spark of light flashes, forming a drawing orange path and several spheres; both are seen flying around and forming a fancy pattern as the camera pans out. Before the pattern faces the screen, a red star with a white outline is seen turning and then flying to the bottom right. Afterwards, "NuMetro" is revealed by an orange burst, flashing soon after and releasing light into thin air. In the middle of this sequence, the star from earlier flies to the bottom of the "N"'s left leg. After the burst dies down, "home entertainment" wipes in via burst effect. Until the camera zooms into the "e"'s counter, the burst behind the logo is seen sparking a few times.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: An orchestral fanfare.

Availability: Current; it can be seen on Region 2 DVDs in South Africa.

Scare Factor: None, it's a good logo for it's place.
Gaumont (1908-1930) (France)

(1908-1915?)

Visuals: There is the outlined daisy from the Gaumont Films Cinema logo, this time with "Gaumont" written on it.

Variants:

* Sometimes, "FILMS" is shown above, and "CINEMA" is shown below.
* This logo appears on an experimental Chronochrome film made in 1912. Chronochrome was Gaumont's three-colour additive process used from 1912-1913. Throughout the logo, it slightly changes in hue, demonstrating the technique.
* An orange/golden version is seen on the 1915 silent film *L'embusqué*.
* At the start and end of some films, the logo is at the bottom of a stylised frame that usually has French text with the title of the film and the director (Opening) and/or Fin (Closing).

Technique: None.

Audio: Possibly the opening theme of the film. Silent for the color variant.

Availability: It appears in cartels of cinema from Gaumont from 1908 to 1915, and appears on the short film *L'embusqué*.

Scare Factor: None.
Aliyu Film Production (Ethiopia)

1st Logo (2012)

Nicknames: "Ethiopian Tristar, But There's No Horse" "Cheesy Aliyu" "The Blatant Use of Tristar 1984 Theme"

Visuals: A shiny "A" with a camera on top of it, a transparent filmstrip leaning to its left, and two turquoise eighth notes is placed on a light orange sky background with clouds on the bottom. This sequence zooms in on a black background to fill the screen. Once it stops zooming, aerial footage of a rocky river in a savannah is superimposed into the background. The "A" shines before the company's two phone numbers and Yahoo! email address zoom out from the left, shifting the footage to the right to make room for the text. At this moment, the "A" and the surrounding objects, including the cloud footage, disappear, leaving just the partly rocky terrain in view. Then, the "A" from before, now shinier and stretched and with the filmstrip more visible, zooms out alongside the company name in Amharic and English (both text are in a gold texture) below. While this happens, the company information on the left fades out, followed by the logo sequence itself.

Variant: There is an in-credit variant. Not only is the logo in its exact appearance in the animated logo present but the company's two phone numbers separated by a slash and its Yahoo! email address are both underneath the logo.

Technique: CGI.

Cheesy Factor: This one is pretty bad for it's era, the logo can cannot have the Phone Numbers and address next to the logo because it's pointless. Also, could they just make their own music rather then use the music from a logo from 1984.

Audio: The 1984 TriStar Pictures fanfare.

Availability: It can be seen on *Serg Ke America*.

Scare Factor: None to low, but this is just another cheap logo coming from Ethiopia.

2nd Logo (2015-)

Visuals: On a white background with a dimly lit gray surface on the bottom, five fairly rounded black boxes slide in to position themselves on the bottom center. The center box falls from the top whereas the rest come in from the left and right. A horizontal black filmstrip scrolls on the bottom from left to right during this process, eventually revealing "Film Production" in a spaced format. After the boxes appear, a filmstrip stylised "A", with an eighth note to its top left, enters the screen from the top, positioning itself above the boxes as the letters "aliyu" zoom out one by one and into the boxes, tilting themselves after entering.

Technique: CGI...

Cheesy Factor: Which is a bit cheap looking, but at least it's still better than the first one.

Audio: A gentle piano fanfare with several pops, whooshes, and string notes to accompany it.

Availability: The logo made its appearance on *Yaye Yifredew*, *Fidelawit*, *Abnatan*, *Shuferochu*, and *Yegodelegne*.

Scare Factor: None.
Pathé Frères (France)

1st Logo (October 29, 1904)

Visuals: Over a black background is the text arched over the horse holding a flag with the rooster inside the circle reading:

CONSORTIUMDES GRANDES MARQUES CINEMATOGRAPHIQUESBelow the horse is "Pathé Frères" in a corporate font with the word "CONCESSIONNAIRES" below.

Technique: None.

Audio: None.

Availability: It was so far only seen on *The Impossible Voyage*.

Scare Factor: None.

2nd Logo (September 30, 1905-1912)

Visuals: Simply a photo of a rooster within a thin circle.

Variants:

* An early version has the rooster in a silhouette.
* In some instances, the rooster is facing the left.

Technique: None.

Cheesy Factor: This logo is ***way*** too simple for a logo in an old year, *and where's the company name!* it just makes it even worse.

Audio: None.

Availability: Was used in tandem with the next logo, although this one was used on fewer films such as *Trees and Tredent*.

Scare Factor: None, it's just a boring logo for its era.

3rd Logo (December 9, 1905-1915)

Visuals: On a black (or grey/worn-out black) background, there is a still image of a rooster in white (sometimes orange) posing as if it is about to crow. Below it is the cursive text "Pathé fréres".

Variants:

* There are a lot of colored variants, going from gold to sepia and even purple.
* The design of the rooster can vary. Sometimes, it is facing the left and in one instance, its legs may be closer together. The rooster may also be seen in a lot of or less detail or in one case where it nearly looks realistic. Some films omit the rooster.

Technique: None.

Audio: The closing theme of the film.

Audio Variant: Sometimes, some films may have featured the accompanying score.

Availability: Can be seen on earlier films from Pathé.

Scare Factor: None to low.

4th Logo (December 11, 1905)

Visuals: On a black background, an eagle is seen carrying a film camera with the text

FILM
DE LA Cie DES CINEMATOGRAPHES

TH.PATHEabove. Note how the letters "ie" in "Cie" are a lot smaller and above two lines. Underneath it all is the text "MARQUE DÉPOSÉE" within a rectangular shape with two circles on both sides.

Technique: None.

Audio: None.

Availability: It was seen on *La vie de Moïse*.

Scare Factor: None.

5th Logo (December 1906-1907)

Visuals: There is a cursive word "Pathé" with an underline underneath the last three letters are above the stacked text reading "THE END".

Variant: Sometimes, the logo is in a different cursive-like font with "fréres" added and it taking up most of the screen. Additionally, "*EDITEURS*" is added below.

Technique: None.

Audio: None or an accompanying score.

Availability: Like with the 2nd logo, it was used in tandem with the previous logo but used on a small amount of films. They include *The Red Spectre* and *The Magic Roses*.

Scare Factor: None to low.
圣责之乱

疫病

### “红丝绒”菌

这种细菌是由阿扎塞尔实验室（Azazel）创造出来的细菌与病毒的结合体，正式名称是酸化细鳞红球菌，因为其外观被军国人俗称为“红丝绒”。 在显微镜下是长满飘动绒毛的球体，那些绒毛是由功能性的蛋白质组成的。当这种细菌通过呼吸道进入人体后，它们会释放这些容貌，相当于病毒一般进入细胞内核，改变其DNA的遗传物质，使其随时间坏死，并且在这段时间内感染其他细胞，更加多的是遗传至下一代人类的身上。同时，它也会在空气中与皮肤的接触部位产生反应，形成驳疤。不过不过！！！只有遗传物质被污染过的人才会与空气产生驳疤，也就是说只有出生就被继承了细菌的才会有驳疤产生，此种基因很难根除，军国人根本没有这种技术。而西栏人会进行空气净化和建造天幕来保证不接触。

### 红色的人

这种称呼泛指所有受“红丝绒”细菌感染和因其而遗传基因受损的人群，或多或少会在外观上表现出来。之后也被西栏内人代指所有东红军国的子民。 他们的皮肤粉红，会随着成长和在污染空气中暴露的时长而在皮肤上产生锈红色的驳疤，以及不同器官的坏死。通常组织坏死的阶段分为15-25岁，25-40岁，40-60岁及60岁以上。在每个阶段中，人们的眼睛，耳朵，手指/脚趾，四肢，关节都有概率被细菌完全侵入，导致结果通常是替换假肢或直接摘除，而驳疤也会随世间面积增大。组织坏死部位会有不定时的瘙痒，刺痛和幻觉感，驳疤部位在受强烈阳光直射时会感到灼烧。 症状发作的时间和程度由年龄，在污染空气中暴露时长，遗传基因受损程度三个因素影响。

### "Pinky boy"

由于皮肤在细菌中暴露的市场也会直接导致红色皮肤的出现，所以有些富人家庭就会通过建造全封闭纯净房间来减缓症状的发生。这种人被污蔑地称为“粉孩子”，因为他们像个小孩一样只有微微透明的，粉色的皮肤，而没有红疤痕。顺便说，他们中的90%都活不过60岁。另一种是通过注射从西城偷运来的疫苗，更加减少了后遗症的概率。

## 波缇涅主义

理论上是部分法西斯主义，集权主义和共产主义的结合？说实话我对这种结合很表示怀疑，很新奇的理念，毕竟，法西斯主义也是多种思想的结合，取一些来写小说还是可以的。对了，其实很是战时共产主义的哈！下面是复制黏贴。

政治上实行集权制，议会及司法机构无法有效制衡政府；内阁要职由军人担任。在民族的生存空间上限制他族，尤其是移民。在极端的例子中，成为种族清洗。将穷兵黩武和侵略扩张作为立国之本，将国家完全置于军事控制之下，使政治、经济、文教等各个方面均服务于扩军备战及对外战争的思想和政治制度。在这里，部分就是对于西栏区的敌视。无产阶级必须通过暴力革命，粉碎资产阶级专政，集中权力于某一群人（就是无产阶级政党），一切决策、政治权力、经济政策皆由执政党“一党专政”，个人不得垄断国家的政治权利，更没有其他政党可以分享其权力。一党专政（除了执政党之外，不允许其他政党参与制定国家大政方针） 施政方向与经济方向以党的意志为优先考量。 安全考量重于自由，于是人民相对于民主国家为不自由。其中，人们又要共同占有社会资源、共同劳动、共同分享劳动成果的公有制形式，从而达到人民当家做主的目标。政府实行计划经济，是政府做出所有关于生产和分配决策的经济，是对生产、资源分配和产品消费事先进行计划的一种体制。在计划经济中，政府拥有相当大部分的生产资料（土地和资本），也拥有大多数行业企业，并指导其生产经营；政府成为大多数工人的雇主，告诉他们如何工作；计划经济中的政府决定社会的产出如何在不同的物品与劳务之间进行分配。当然，小部分的市场经济不可避免。进一步剥夺资产阶级，所有的大中型工业企业实施国有化，小工业企业则实行监督；实行余粮收集制；禁止日用必需品的私人贸易，实行产品实物供应以及主要消费品配给制；取消货币和核算制，实行总管理局制，国家直接给每个企业制定产、供、销计划；实行普遍义务劳动制。

这个是致敬了冷战时期的资本主义对于“红色暴君”的描述，真是复古啦！后来出现新波缇涅主义，就是更加温和，也被人批评说是极度右倾和思想不正确，成为后来12年新旧革命的导火索。
Assoussoue Production (Chad)

(2000's)

Nicknames: "The Blatant Use of The 1993 Intel Theme" "Chadian Intel" "Stolen Intel"

Visuals: On a black background, there is the company name with the "Assoussoue" in a Time New Roman-looking font and "Production" colored yellow and in a rounded font. The logo slowly zooms out and fades in all at the same time. Then we cut to "Present" in the same color and font as the "Production" zooms out in the same style.

Technique: The texts zooming out and fading in at the same.

Cheesy Factor: Off the Charts, like most African logos, this logo is very cheap looking. The text takes way too long to animate and looks kind of slow, and also the fact they stole the 1993 Intel theme makes in very Blatant.

Audio: A dark eerie synth drone (which is actually the 1993 Intel theme), followed by a bombastic trumpet fanfare.

Availability: TBA.  [Examples?]

Scare Factor: Medium, but you may laugh at the stolen music.
They Dreaming Entertainment (Angola)

(2010's)

Visuals: On a black background, there is a outlined rectangle with two filmreels with a filmstrip on it from a filmreel to another one. On top of them are three stars, one big and two of them small. On all of this is the text "*THEY DREAMING*" and "*ENTERTAINMENT*" in a small font under it. Then the logo cuts to the Shakazulu's Production.

Technique: None.

Cheesy Factor: The logo looks like some had made it with a paint editing software, making this logo very cheap looking.

Audio: A soft string theme.

Availability: TBA.  [Examples?]

Scare Factor: None, it's just a cheap done logo from Africa.
Edison Manufacturing Company (United States)

### Background

Thomas A. Edison Inc. (formerly known as Edison Manufacturing Company) was a film production company organized in 1889 by the inventor and entrepeneur Thomas Edison, who also produced kinetoscope films. In 1911, its assets and operations were transferred to Thomas A. Edison Inc.

(1894-1918)

Visuals: On a black background, there is the drawing lines with "Thomas A. Edison Inc." inside with the arc above with the words "TRADE MARK" above the name and "REG. U.S. PAT. OFF." below. There is the title of the film inside the scroll.

Variant: On *The Great Train Robbery* (1903), there is the "Thomas A. Edison Inc." logo with "TRADE" above the logo and "MARK" below the logo on two upper-left and lower-right corners.

Technique: None.

Cheesy Factor: Unlike most logos, this is perhaps the oldest logo ever.

Audio: None.

Availability: Can be seen on *The Land Beyond the Sunset* and other films and the another variant seen on *The Great Train Robbery* (1903).

Scare Factor: None.
Italian Cines Company (Italy)

### Background

The Italian Cines Company (also known as Società Italiana Cines or simply Cines) is a film company founded on April 1, 1906, specializing in producing and distributing films. They were a major film company in the European Film Industry before World War I took place. The company saw multiple relaunches after the deaths of former presidents until it ceased operations in 1958.

(1909-1920's)

Visuals: Within an outline of a circle is a large flower. Outside of it are two leaves leaning over the circle with one leaf filling a fairly small gap between it and the outline white. They also surround the bottom text "CINES" in a slightly arced format.

Technique: None.

Cheesy Factor: The leaves looks weird for some reason, and there no "Italian" and "Company" around this logo.

Audio: None.

Availability: Appeared on their films from this period as well as several American films they distributed in the Netherlands such as *Oh, You Ragtime!* and *When the Earth Trembled*, plastering the Lubin Manufacturing Company's logo on the latter film. The aforementioned Dutch prints as well as Eyefilm's may retain this logo or not.

Scare Factor: None.
Casa Nova Production (Angola)

(2010's)

Nicknames: "The Depressing Angolan Logo"

Visuals: TBA

Technique: The orange shapes moving along with the texts zooming out...

Cheesy Factor: ...Pretty cheap animation for it's era. The text zooms out way too slow (on par with Assoussoue Production), and the music sounds very depressing.

Audio: A somber string theme.

Availability: TBA.  [Examples?]

Scare Factor: Medium.
