'''Logo:''' On a black background, a round {{color|orange}} glow of light appears, which morphs into a bright {{color|deepskyblue|light blue}} light. As stars and rays of light shoot by, we see the logo itself (two abstract 3-D "F" shapes, interlocking back-to-front into a medallion, with a metallic effect applied) appear in the blue light and zoom towards the screen with a bright light in front of it that later flashes. Underneath, the words "FILMWAYS PICTURES" (in the same font as the 1981 Filmways Television logo) fly back with a {{color|powderblue|whitish blue}} light trail effect. Both the logo and the words turn solid as the lights fade, with the logo turning {{color|blue}} and the words white.

'''Technique:''' Advanced motion-controlled animation and effects.
'''Technique:''' Motion-controlled animation.


'''Music/Sounds:''' Silent or the opening theme of the film. On ''Comin' At Ya!'', it used a triumphant fanfare. On the American release of ''Gamera: Super Monster'', the [[Daiei Motion Pictures|Daiei Film]] fanfare is used, primarily due to a sloppy plastering job.

'''Availability:''' Rare. It can be seen on the 1982 Warner Home Video VHS release of ''Death Wish II'', the [[MGM Home Entertainment|MGM/UA Home Video]] VHS and Scream Factory Blu-ray of ''Full Moon High'', as well as the US cut of ''The Earthling'', and The Criterion Collection DVD, Blu-ray, and 4k UHD releases of ''Blow Out'' (although some prints plaster this logo with the 3rd [[Orion Pictures]] logo). It is also seen on TV opening of ''Gamera: Super Monster'' (included as a bonus on the Arrow Films Gamera: The Showa Era BD collection), and the 1999 Rhino Home Video DVD release of the 3D film ''Comin' At Ya!'', where the logo is unfortunately only in 2D. It can also be seen on the 1982 [[Embassy Home Entertainment]] VHS release of ''Summer Lovers''.

'''Legacy:''' This logo featured top-of-the-line motion-control work back in 1981, and it holds up pretty well.
