<u>Logo:</u> The background looks like some kind of glass, with various colours waving behind it. First, a shield, similar to the Warner Bros. shield, appears with the the letters '<nowiki/>'''SB'''<nowiki/>' in gold on it. It fades out and some Chinese text appears on the same background. It fades out and the shield appears again under some more Chinese text. The shield is between '<nowiki/>'''SHAW'''<nowiki/>' and ''''SCOPE'''<nowiki/>'. | |||

<u>Logo:</u> We see the inside of the shield from the last logo, animated to look like a spinning sunburst background (a la Toho). The initials "SB" zoom-out via trail effect. We then zoom out from the shield, which is placed on a starburst background. The shield leaves a slightly transparent trail which then merge with the logo turning it gold. The shield flashes, turning into orange Chinese text. | <u>Logo:</u> We see the inside of the shield from the last logo, animated to look like a spinning sunburst background (a la Toho).

<u>Logo:</u> On a space background, we see the shield (without the initials "'''SB'''") rotating for a bit, done in glorious CGI. The initials then zoom onto the shield letter-by-letter. After that, the shield emits sparks (like fireworks) as it zooms back in a comfortable distance. Fairy dust effects wipes in the words "''Shaw Brothers Pictures LTD''" and its Chinese translation (which rotates a bit). The byline "''A member of TVB Group''" rotates, and finally, a comet appears flying into the right side of the byline and flashes into the TVB logo (a white rounded square with a tri-colored circle on the center). | |||
