Logo: On a black background, a blue squarish C zooms out via light trailing effects, followed by a larger yellow C and an even larger red C, forming Cinema City's logo, which glows. A few seconds later, the logo disappears, and the text "CINEMA CITY & FILMS CO." in a blue '70s font with its Chinese name above it in red zooms out, turning the background yellow. "presents" flashes in below. The words remain on screen several seconds. | Logo: On a black background, a blue squarish C zooms out via light trailing effects, followed by a larger yellow C and an even larger red C, forming Cinema City's logo, which glows.

Music/Sounds: A loud trumpet fanfare, which probably came from a track library since it's used in some other logos (like [[Jia's Motion Picture (H.K.) Co. (Hong Kong)|Jia's]] and Rainbow Audio and Video Incorporation). | |||
Availability: Rare. Seen on Hong Kong films from the era. It is sometimes plastered by the Media Asia logo, or those of other companies on export versions, such as Atlas International.
