Shochiku: Difference between revisions

'''Logo:''' On a brick wall, we see the name of the company: "松竹キネマ株式會社" ("Shochiku Kinema Co., Ltd."), written from right to left. Below that is the Shochiku Kinema symbol and the year 1929, and on the bottom of the screen is the text "蒲田作品", which means "Kamata Production" (referring to the company's main studio in Kamata), also written from right to left.

'''Logo:''' Over a set of clouds on a dark background, an archer is seen standing on the Shochiku Kinema symbol about to shoot an arrow. The same text from before is seen, with "松竹キネマ株式會社" arched above the archer, "蒲田" and "作品" on the right and left sides of the archer, respectively, and the year 1930 below everything else. All kanji are written from right to left like before.

'''Logo:''' The logo opens to a scene of a city set in stone with a giant man standing above it, his leg raised. The name of the Kamata Films studio is in the upper left corner. The Shochiku Kinema symbol is in the center of the screen. Below it is the name of the Shochiku Kinema company.

'''Logo:''' On a stone background featuring an abstract human figure holding a sword on the left side and an image of a lion lying down, with the year 1932 written on it, toward the bottom. The name of the Kamata Films studio (now displayed as "蒲田映画") is on top of the screen. Below that is the Shochiku Kinema symbol. Below the lion is the name of the Shochiku Kinema company.

'''Logo:''' On a gray background, ornate decorations can be seen. In a field in the center of the decorations are the symbol of the main Shochiku company and the year 1933. Above that is the name of the Kamata Films studio. Below the decorations is the name of the Shochiku Kinema company.

'''Logo:''' A large representation of an eagle on a honeycomb-like background can be seen. The year 1934 and the symbol of the main Shochiku company can be seen to the left of the eagle's head. On his wings are the name of the Kamata Films studio and the Shochiku Kinema company.

'''Logo:''' The logo consists of a representation of a warrior riding a horse, holding a spear and shield. On the shield is the year of production (1935 or 1936) and the symbol of the Shochiku Kinema company. Above the image is the name of the Kamata Films studio, and below is the name of the Shochiku Kinema company.

'''Logo:''' The logo opens with a view of Mt. Fuji with moving clouds in front of it. In the center of the screen, the name of Shochiku's Ōfuna Films studio (大船映画) can be seen. The Shochiku Kinema symbol separates the name in two, and around it are the words "AN OHFUNA PICTURE". On the bottom, the name of the Shochiku Kinema company can be seen.

'''Logo:''' An updated version of the last logo, with more clouds. In the center of the screen, Shochiku's name and the name of the Ōfuna Films studio, separated into two halves by the symbol of the newly-merged company, can be seen.

'''Logo:''' The logo opens to a scene of the symbol of the consolidated Shochiku company on a spinning paper fan or wheel. The characters "松竹映畫" (meaning "Shochiku Films") "flip" into the frame above the fan. These are followed by the characters "製作" on the bottom left of the fan and "提供" on the bottom right (meaning "production" and "offering/sponsoring", respectively, here used in the sense of the English word "presents"). Then, the company's full name appears below the fan, and the image fades out. This time, all kanji are written from left to right.

'''Logo:''' The logo opens with Mt. Fuji with moving clouds in front of it. The Shochiku Films name is in the center of the screen. On the bottom of the screen there is some text. (Unknown)

'''Logo:''' The logo opens with a bouquet of flowers and a glass-like ring spinning around it. Five stars and the kanji for Shochiku Films (now displayed as "松竹映画" from this point on) can be seen on the ring. Below the bouquet is the year 1947, written in transparent numbers.

'''Logo:''' On a background with stars that shine occasionally, the Shochiku symbol can be seen. A bouquet of flowers balancing on a spinning globe, lit from the back, appears behind it. The symbol retreats into the background and disappears when it reaches the bouquet. Then, the words for "Shochiku Films" appear above the bouquet. The year 1948 on the globe appears from the right and the globe stops spinning when the numbers are directly under the bouquet.

'''Logo:''' The logo opens with the camera zooming in on a spinning globe on a background of shining stars. When it gets close, the zooming stops and a light appears behind the globe. The kanji for Shochiku Films "flip" in from the bottom of the screen and the Shochiku symbol appears beneath them. Then, the year 1949 or 1950 appears below the symbol and the logo fades out.

'''Logo:'''  The logo opens with a globe spinning on top of clouds. It stops spinning and the words for "Shochiku Films" appear. Then, the Shochiku symbol and the year 1951 appear below the words and the logo fades out.

'''Logo:''' We see a picture of Mount Fuji with moving clouds. The white kanji "松竹映画" (which means "Shochiku Films") in a semi-cursive script and a small fan (Shochiku's emblem) fade in.

'''Logo:''' It's basically a redone variant of the previous logo, with an orange light behind the mountain at the beginning of the logo to constitute the transition between the beginning and duration of the day. The white kanji "松竹映画" and the Shochiku fan fade in, with the kanji now in a bold Mincho type and the fan looking more streamlined than its previous appearance.

'''Logo:''' We see a view of Mt. Fuji with clouds at the bottom, and it zooms closer to the mountain. As the clouds clear, we see the Shochiku Films text, and under it is the Shochiku fan with the word "Shochiku" below it in an italic sericffont.

'''Logo:''' The logo opens with the aurora borealis or northern lights. They ripple and transform into a stylized Mount Fuji. A gold version of the new Shochiku logo (the Shochiku fan and the company's name in a bold, uppercase Times-like font next to the fan) fades in. The logo shines and the top of Mt. Fuji fades from blue to yellow.

'''Logo:''' From a bird's-eye view, a drop of black ink falls onto a white canvas, its splash spreading out to create an artistic 3D rendition of Mount Fuji. The camera then moves to show the mountain at the now-familiar front angle as the darkest ink of the mountain dissolves into white particles, revealing a blue-gray hue behind. When the camera is at the front angle, the kanji "松竹" (which means "Shochiku"), the Shochiku fan and "Shochiku" in a much smaller font (in uppercase and below the fan) fade in.

'''Logo:''' Essentially a modernized, high-definition version of the 1951-2003 logo, specifically the 1980-1994 version. The kanji "松竹" (Shochiku) and the 2003 Shochiku fan and the wordmark (below the fan) fade in.

'''Logo:''' On a black background is the word "SHOCHIKU" in an arc. Below the word is a cloud-shaped leaf with two grains each on either side, and below it is the phrase "120 Anniversary". To the left and right of the "120 Anniversary" phrase are three cloud-shaped leaves and three opened grains (each bunch is attached to a curled wire), respectively. Below all these is a stylized depiction of Mount Fuji. The entire logo is colored metallic gold with 3D effects.
