Background

Century Motion Picture & Dist. Co., Ltd. was a film company from Hong Kong.

Logo (November 5, 1981-January 6, 1983)

Visuals: The first element shown is a space background. Suddenly, a white oval is seen expanding, possibly to look like a shock wave from the distant explosion, which suddenly fills the entire screen. After a second, it disappears into the space background again, with sparks that turn into the logo (a trail of a C). Then, a white/blue laser forms the company's name in ITC Avant Garde Gothic, and an orange one makes the Chinese translation at the bottom.

Technique: Cel animation.

Audio: There is a dark drone at the beginning. A loud "WHOOSH" is heard with the shock wave, followed by an overly dramatic fanfare.

Availability: Appears in The Imp, Nomad, Marianna and Sketch.
