ABD Film Production (Ethiopia)

(2017)

Nicknames: "Boring ABD" "Effortless ABD" "Cheesy ABD" "Fading ABD" "Lazy ABD" "Bland ABD" "The Worst Ethiopian Logo Of All Time"

Visuals: On a black background, a white "ABD" in a Gill Sans Extra Bold font fade's in. Then "Film Production" then fades under it.

Technique/Cheesy Factor: Just the fading, which result in lazy cheesy animation for 2017. They made just a lack of effort in this logo, and just put fading effects on to it instead. Could they put more animation than just the texts fading in, but this logo is made even lazier because of the lack of sound in this logo. This perhaps, if not the worst & cheesiest Ethiopian logo of all time.

Audio: None, which makes the logo even worse.

Availability: Seen on *የልጅ ሀብታም*.

Scare Factor: Absolutely none!. This is the worst Ethiopian logo ever made in this world.

Magneto Vs Tetsuo

#### (Marvel Comics Vs Akira!)

* They are both telekinetic, caped mutants who became villains, went on egomaniacal power trips, and sparked a revolution following their horrific abuse under governmental forces.
* Both were separated from their mothers at a young age and were once close comrades to a hero (Professor X and Shōtarō Kaneda, respectively) who ended their relationships due to their villainous ways, but would return to thwart them time and time again despite being much weaker.
* Both have also sought others for their goals (Magneto attempts to recruit other Mutants to his cause whilst Tetsuo seeks out Akira), have ruled over large domains of land they reformed into factions (Genosha and the Great Tokyo Empire, respectively), and formed a group which they were the leader of to spread their ideals (The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and the Great Tokyo Empire, respectively).
* Both of their names are also associated with metal, particularly iron (Magneto's name references magnetism and his surname, Eisenhardt, contains "Eisen", the German word for iron, while Tetsuo's name contains the Japanese kanji for iron, "鉄"), and both of their powers are associated with fundamental concepts of physics (Magneto manipulates electromagnetism, one of the four fundamental forces of physics, while Tetsuo's psychic powers have a connection to the Big Bang, a physics theory used to explain the origins of the universe).
* Both also came into action following World Wars (World War 2 and World War 3, respectively).

Video Inter Mundo S.A. (Spain)

(1983)

Nicknames: "Video Inter Weird" "The Three Spanish Circles of Doom/Hell" "Why Most Spanish VHS Logo Are Cheesy & Scary" "Super Video Spanish Cousin"

Visuals: The sequence starts with a big, blue circle that suddenly splits into three pieces and backs away from the screen with no movements. While this is happening, a background consisting of a chyron trail of the animation on a violet color appears with the silhouette close to the camera. The background would quickly change to dark blue at this point where the logo changes colors to pink and the company's name, "VIDEO INTER MUNDO, S.A." appears below the shapes. The chyron trail background returns with it getting smaller as well as another copy of the company's name appearing above the shapes in a turquoise color. When most of the trail background is black, the logo becomes yellow and the background changes to dark blue again before returning to another different trail background, this time one where the camera is a little shaky and the silhouette is very close to the camera. The logo also briefly darkens before the footage switches back to a dark blue background with the logo regaining its vibrancy and "presenta:" fading at the bottom portion of the screen.

Technique: Video feedback effects...

Cheesy Factor: ...Which stand for it's cheesiness of the logo. The color scheme of the logo makes it ugly for some strange reason, and the music of the logo makes it more weirder. And like many VHS logo (and SuperVideo), the logo uses too much feedback effects for it's era, but also decent for the 80's. This is a very cheesy logo from spain.

Audio: A weird set of random, synthesized beeps before a crash that turns into another random set of sounds consisting of such like gurgling. When these sounds relax, more random notes played on a synthesizer and a piano plays.

Availability: Seen on a Spanish tape of *Corpi nudi* as well as *Of Gladiators*. This can be spotted by finding their print logo on the VHS cover.

Scare Factor: Medium to high. The weird nature of the logo along of the animation can surely scare a handful of viewers. The music can also contribute as well, but the cheesiness of the logo can lower it for some.

Technique: The "TE" zooming out, the filmreel shaking and zooming out along with the text fading in...

Cheesy Factor: ...Very cheaply done animation for it's era, you did not expected to see this in the 2000's.

Solax Studios (United States)

### Background

Solax Studios was a film studio founded in 1910 by former Gaumont executives Alice Guy-Blaché, her husband, Herbert, and George A. Magie. Alice Guy-Blaché directed many of the company's films whereas Herbert produced these films. During its first few years, the studio was successful both critically and financially, being known for its avant-garde production stages at the time. In 1916, Metro Pictures began distributing Solax's films. Due to the rise of film facilities in Hollywood thanks to their low costs and more favorable climate, the East Coast film industry rapidly declined in the 1920's, and Solax was one of those companies. The studio was absorbed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, a recently-founded studio that merged Metro Pictures, Goldwyn Pictures and Louis B. Mayer Pictures in 1924. On December 29, 1927, the Solax Studios brand was discontinued.

1st Logo (February 10, 1911-November 2, 1916)

* The closing variant would have the print logo on the bottom of the screen with "THE END" on top of it.
* Sometimes, only the print logo would be present on screen.

Technique: None.

Audio: None or the ending music.

Availability: It appears on most films from *Mixed Pets* to *The Ocean Waif*.

* As with many companies from the silent era, much of their films have been subject to deterioration over the past several decades.
* Despite this, this logo was seen on all of their films with the title card variant being the easiest to find, appearing on *Falling Leaves*, *A Fool and His Money*, *Making an American Citizen*, among others.
* It can also be seen on text cards throughout their movies.
* However, most of their current prints lack these cards and instead start with the title of the movie, the restoration company's logo, or simply the beginning of the film. When this logo does appear on a restoration print, it is usually a reconstruction of what could have been the opening title/endcap for the film.
* The closing variants are rarer thanks to restoration prints, such as the Library of Congress', having the film end with the restoration's credits.

Scare Factor: None.

2nd Logo (1911-March 26, 1913)

Technique: The text spinning and the footage zooming out.

(January 16, 2024-)

Visuals: On a tan background, the words "LAST IN FIRST OUT INC" slide in from varying directions of the screen while changing colors. Specifically, they enter the screen from the following directions:

* "IN" from the bottom center.
* "OUT" from the top center, slightly leaning to the right.
* "LAST" from the bottom left.
* "FIRST" from the top center, slightly leaning to the left.
* "INC" from the bottom right.
* The period from the bottom right, entering as "INC" is the last word with coloring.

The words continue to slide straight, meeting up with each other to form "LAST IN INC."" on the bottom section, which has a long space in between, and "FIRST OUT", which is above said space.

Technique: Flash animation.

Audio: Several typewriter sounds as the letters move.

Availability: The logo can be seen on *Death and Other Details*.

Scare Factor: None.
Producciones Canek (Cuba)

(2010's)

Visuals: The sequence starts off with a snake moving along on the desert. Then the snake stops, and his eyes starts to glow orange as the camera cuts to many black metal squares chaining up the snake as the snake then starts to open its mouth which reveals a glow orange as the snake becomes abstract as the desert background becomes an orange vintage background. Then the snake becomes black as "Canek", comes out of the snake before the text "Producciones", fades in on top of "CANEK", as a line draws in on the snake's body.

Technique/Cheesy Factor: CGI, which is beyond cheap for a Cuban logo. And the animation at the beginning looks more like a documentary.

Audio: A drum theme with some jungle ambiance, and then some transforming and chaining noises was heard when the squares are seen. And finally a scratching noise when a line is drawn.

Availability: TBA.  [Examples?]

Scare Factor: Medium to high, the dark nature of the logo along with a snake can surely scare viewers first time they seen it. The music can also give people the creeps, and so does the design at the end of the logo.
Instyle Pictures (Ethiopia)

(2015)

Visuals: On a black background, a white line is seen moving around before stopping and stretches into a blue I. Then a blue spinning filmreel then moves up next to the I as a gray moving line (representing a filmstrip) appears on the filmreel. A yellow light fades in on the I as "NSTYLE" then zooms in, and then "PICTURES" then blurs in letter-by-letter.

Technique/Cheesy Factor: The line-I moving, the filmreel moving up and the filmstrip appearing. The light fading in, the text zooming out and the text blurring in, which is all in cheap animation, even for it era.

Audio: A weird noise at the start, which then fades into a soft string theme, with a hitting noise when the filmreel is seen followed by the sounds of the film projector running. And then a whoosh when the text zooms in.

Availability: Seen on *እንደገና.*

Scare Factor: Medium.
Lucy Promotion (Ethiopia)

(2016)

NOTE: This company has nothing to do with the character in The Peanuts.

Visuals: In a desert line setting with three palm trees, there is big text "LUCY" in a constitution style with some parts of the logo-colored brown and some sticks. Then the whole construction of the text then gets blown away as the text then moves up after, then a lens flare moves across the screen as "P r o m o t i o n" appears under it.

Technique/Cheesy Factor: All in CGI, which is cheap and unusual of a 2016 logo.

Audio: Some wind noises and also heard when the construction blows away, then followed by a folding noise when the text moves up.

Availability: Seen on *Yene Mar*.

Scare Factor: Minimal to medium, depends on the construction getting blown.
Alegeta Film Production & Advertising Services (Ethiopia)

(2014-2015)

Visuals: On a cloudy yellow sky backdrop with cut-off searchlight overlays, there is the Ge'ez letter "ge" & a small line, both in blue, going into the screen.

The company name, in Amharic, is then seen jumping towards the screen with glow on it.

Variant: There is a cropped 16:9 variant.

Technique: Computer animation for the logo, 2D for the background & company name...

Cheesy Factor: ...All cheap looking animation. The searchlights at the left looks like it's stealing 20th Century Fox.

Audio: A dramatic drum theme, wheel sounds, and a huge crash for the text's transitioning.

Audio Variant: In one movie, an uprising whimsical cinematic opening theme can be heard.

Availability: Only seen on *Wey Addis Ababa* and *Kebero*.

Scare Factor: None to low.
British International Pictures (United Kingdom)

Habesha Gerup Film (Ethiopia)

(2010's)

Visuals: On a black background, a green and yellow and red Amharic letters are seen zooming in at us. The it cuts a close up of a black rectangle over a sky background, the camera slowly zooms out to reveal a yellow Amharic letter as the rectangle spins, revealing a green Amharic character as the red Amharic letter slowly zooms out. Then a drop shadow then rises up from the screen and places itself on behind the letters as the letters then stop moving. Then the Amharic text and "Habesha Gerup Film" in a arial font and all in yellow then splotches in.

Technique/Cheesy Factor: The letters zooming in, with the green letter spinning along with the red letter zooming out, the shadow rising up and the text splotching in. All done in CGI, but looking like it was done in really good FPS.

Audio: A windy synth theme with beeps when the green letter was seen on the sky background.

Availability: Seen on *Enginerochu*.

Scare Factor: None to high.
Orient Films (Egypt)

(December 30, 1934)

Visuals: On a black background, there is a drawing of a sunburst with Arabic text inside it. Under it is thin text saying "ORIENT-FILMS".

Technique: None.

Cheesy Factor: Although this is Egyptian's first logo in a century, it's still a bit tacky looking.

Audio: A opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Seen on النادر ياقوت نجيب الريحانى.

Scare Factor: None to low.
Lux (France)

### (1906-1914)

Visuals: This essentially consists of a realistic drawing of the Statue of Liberty with ""LUX"" underneath it on a black background.

Opening Titles: Within a Greek-like architecture with what appears to be wreaths on the top, the Statue of Liberty is on the right side and the title of the film on the left. The words "KINEMA "LUX" PARIS" with "LUX" in a larger size than the rest is underneath an unusual bar. To the bottom left reads "998.1.HLL".

Variants:

* A green tinted variant exists.
* Sometimes, the opening titles omit the Statue of Liberty.
* On *Gare! Les lions!*, everything from the architecture to the statue and text are filled in white.
* *Gratitude obsédante* has an alternate version of both the statue and the company name where the former is less detailed and the latter is in a different font.

Technique/Cheesy Factor: None, it's just a still but tacky logo.

Audio: None.

Availability: The title card variant is easier to find and was preserved on old German and Dutch prints of their many films such as *Gare! Les lions!*, *Le chien insaisissable*, *Ma concierge est trop jolie*, and *Gratitude obsédante*. The standard variant was seen on the *Cunégonde* short films such as *Cunégonde jalouse* and *Cunégonde trop curieuse* albeit restored. The unrestored version of the standard logo was seen on *Gare! Les lions!*. All of the aforementioned films are preserved by the Eye Filmmuseum and are therefore kept on them, but half of the time, the logo is left out either due to the releases replacing them with a different opening and ending title due to them being in Dutch, or start or end with simply nothing.

Scare Factor: None.

Visuals: The camera moves over a stone background as Amharic text and English saying "Ewnet film production" flies in until it stops as the background fades out.

Availability: TBA.  [Examples?]

Scare Factor: Low to high.

Soverdi (Netherlands)

(May 9, 1926)

Visuals: Against a dark close up of a slow spinning globe is the large white text "SVD" placed on the top section of the screen, aligned to the left, and with a shadow on top of the globe. The sequence cuts to the full text, reading "SOVERDI FILM", and the Americas side of the globe is facing the screen.

Technique: Live-action model work.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen on *Bali-Floti*.

Scare Factor: Low.
Ruth Film Production (Ethiopia)

(2015)

Visuals: TBA

Technique: CGI.

Cheesy Factor: Why would a lead cross be used in a Ethiopian logo, it's pointless. And also, they could calm down that music...

Audio: ...Which consist of fast piano theme with some eerie wind noises, followed a by metal crash when the cross falls down. And then the music segues into a dramatic trumpet fanfare.

Availability: Seen on *ይሉኝታ.*

Scare Factor: Medium to high, the fast dramatic music along with the animation can be pretty scary for those who had seen this logo. The lad cross can also be a big problem to some viewers. Low for those who had used it, the music is still scary.
Selam Production (Ethiopia)

(2000's)

Visuals: On a black background with two lights slowly moving (one yellow/red, and one yellow), there is a green S overlapped with a red P on the left side of the screen. Next to it is the following:

SELAM

PRODUCTION

Danial Mamo

614 893 4167

BIRLLK KIFLE

703 868 0639

Technique: Just the lights moving.

Cheesy Factor: *Off the Charts!* they just wasted their effort in this logo, just to animate the lights and not the text, which makes it very cheap looking. Also, it reminds you of Mizoram logos too.

Audio: A bass boosted dance theme.

Availability: Seen on *Selanchi Sayat Demesse*.

Scare Factor: Medium.
Gizmotech Industries Inc. (United States)

Visuals: On a partly dirty white board is a right hand with black sleeves holding the black Expo marker and writing the stacked text "GIZMOTECH INDUSTRIES INC." in about one second.

Technique: Live-action.

Audio: The sounds of a dry erase marker being drawn on a white board.

Availability: It appears on *Grimsburg*.

Scare Factor: Low, the font may catch you off guard.
Ardi Entertainment (Ethiopia)

(2015)

Visuals: Over a desert at sunset, there is a skeleton with headphones running before walking. The scene has a lens flare throughout. Then the scene zooms out and then fades into a DVD disc with headphones over a gray wall background with a light at the top which zooms out while the lens flare is still seen which then fades out as a red curved ribbon zooms out. Then the text "ARDI" in red and in a Gill Sans Extra Bold font with "Entertainment" blurs in, then a white trail of glowing bright circles then moves across the screen, leaving some Amharic text, inside the ribbon and under it.

Technique/Cheesy Factor: CGI for the first part, and the zooming out, the ribbon zooming out, the text blurring in and the trial moving for the second part. Which is all cheap for its time and its era as well.

Audio: An African flute theme at the beginning with a man shouting "ARDI!", which was followed by whistling form the skeleton. And then a traditional Ethiopian flute theme with sounds of sticks hitting.

Availability: Seen on Hiwet Bedereja, College & Beauty and Bankeru.

Scare Factor: Medium.
Seim Film Production (Ethiopia)

(2017)

Visuals: Over a light blue background with a blue S at the center of the screen with a white outline of a film camera under it which slightly zooms in. Amharic text "ሲም ፊልም ፕሮዳክሽን" and "Seim Film Production" in a Hobo font under it cross-wipes in. The logo stays on screen for a while before it turns off with a TV effect.

Technique: The text wiping in and the logo turning of.

Audio: Some street ambiance sounds.

Availability: Seen on *Mekonnen Leake*.

Scare Factor: None to low (bordering on Medium).
16 Film Production (Ethiopia)

(2017-2019)

Visuals: On a black background, sixteen golden stars appears one-by-one before a golden rusted 2D number 16 "unbulges" in as the bright star the fades in and grows as blue Amharic text then blurs in with a linear effect. The star then turns the background white as gray text in a typewriter font "FILM PRODUCTION" fades in under it.

Technique: The stars appearing and the number "unbulgeing", the star growing with the text blurring in and the text fading in.

Cheesy Factor: Like most African logos, this one is plain cheap. The transition of the number looks unusual and pointless for 2017, but the rest isn't that bad.

Audio: A 16-not twinkling theme, which turns into low pitched noises of wind chimes and bells.

Availability: Seen on *እውነታ ሙሉ ፊልም* and *Bale Gize*.

Scare Factor: Low, thanks to the weird transition on the number and music.
A Snake Nigussie Film Production (Ethiopia)

(2015)

Visuals: TBA

Technique/Cheesy Factor: CGI, which decently cheap, like most Ethiopian logos. It looks like it was done in some template (like many otherlogos), not to mention that the A in this logo is actually taken from the Avengers logo, which counts as the rip-off.

Audio: Sounds of ambience with some hitting noises, followed a many hitting noise repeated many times when the A spins. Then the opening theme of the movie fades in.

Availability: Seen on *Yesemay Fegegeta*.

Scare Factor: Low, because of the noises and darkness, but you may laugh at the stolen logomark.
Télé Tchad (Chad)

Télé Tchad is the national broadcaster of the Central African state of Chad. Télé Tchad broadcasts in Arabic and French. It primarily broadcasts news, educational programming, cultural, religious, and local sport programming 20 hours a day.

Visuals: On a yellow background, there are letters "TVT" in a color of flag of Chad and the letter "V"'s upper side segmented. A camera is shown in the center.

Technique: None.

Cheesy Factor: The logo looks more like the TV3 logo

Audio: Unknown, we are unsure if there a video of it.

Availability: Extinct

Scare Factor: Low.

2nd ID (2009)

Nicknames: "Tele Tcheap" "Tele Tcheesy" "The Worst Chadian Logo of All Time" "Tele Worst" "The Zero Budget Chadian Logo Ever Made"

Visuals: On a blue gradient room, many golden letters fly in from various directions, and a white canvas with the logo on it falls down, covering the text. The camera pans around the words, and the canvas flies off to reveal golden words "Télé Tchad", and a glass blue bird with a yellow hair and a red mark on its chest rises up and flashes, with a canvas hanging on it and falling down afterwards.

Technique: CGI.

Cheesy Factor: Off The Scale! this logo is entirely cheaply done just for the logo to be good, but NO! they just to but zero dollars into the making of this logo. The animation of the blanket is very bad and you can still see it after the ident. Also the design of the bird looks like a 2D image while the logo is still in CGI. Perhaps the worst logo of all time!

Audio: A documentary-sounding tune, followed by a bass-boosted whoosh and another whoosh.

Availability: Extinct

Scare Factor: None to minimal, this is the cheapest logo in this country.
