1st Logo (1970-1975)

Provided ID could not be validated.

Nicknames: "Double H", "Red Double H"

Logo: On a red background, we see a red and white angular double H shape ("HH") fading-in, and then cuts to bigger. Then white Chinese text (similar to the China Films Co. logo characters) wipes in from the right by one by one and more chinese text fades in below the text. The english translations doesn't appear.

FX/SFX: The blurring, the wiping, the fading-in. This is the only logo of Hong Hwa that does not have the English translations, and the characters are ripped off from another logo.

Availability: Can be only seen on the current home video releases of that period's films.

Editor's Note: None.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the film.
