== Warriors Film Company ==
=== 1st Logo (August 30, 1979)===
[[File:DOWNLOAD OK.jpeg|center|frameless]]
'''Logo:''' On a black background, a white-outlined cartoon man, without a shirt on and filled white pants, is seen coming towards the screen while doing several backflips. After he stops flipping, he moves about a bit and then grabs an invisible ribbon, causing it to transform in a "'''''W'''''" shape that starts off thick, but gets thinner with each stroke. The result freezes and stalls for a second before it moves to the upper left corner, and a white rectangle zooms in to form "'''WARRIORS FILM CO.'''" just off-center. The background slowly fades to a {{color|#FF5C5C|orange-red}} color as well during this. A black rectangle then grows to reveal "奮鬥影業公司" in a brush-stroke form above the text, and then "'''WARRIORS FILM CO.'''" shrinks vertically. Finally, the man kicks out a white ball to below the text, causing it to splatter and form "'''presents'''".
'''Technique:''' Traditional animation.
'''Music/Sounds:''' A loud traditional Chinese fanfare.
'''Availability:''' Very rare. This was only seen on their first film, ''Crazy Partner''.
===2nd Logo (February 14, 1980)===
'''Logo:''' On a black background, the "{{color|green|'''''W'''''}}" from the 1st logo is drawn in, but without the man holding it, from left to right, followed by a white tube shape around it counterclockwise, and then a registered trademark symbol appears in it. "{{color|gold|奮鬥影業公司}}" then wipes in below in a slightly neater brushstroke style, and then "'''WARRIORS FILM COMPANY'''" in a wide white font wipes in below that. "'''Presents'''" then appears below.
'''Technique:''' Simple wiping effects.
'''Music/Sounds:''' An action-oriented fanfare.
'''Availability:''' Rare. This was only seen on their second film, ''Crazy Crooks''.
