Pioneer Films (Philippines)

1st Logo (1990-1993)
Nickname: "Starscreen's Distant Filipino Cousin"

Logo: On a black background, we see a red box with a "P" in the center and flimstrips moving on the sides of it. The words: "PIONEER FILMS" and "PRESENTS", in red and cyan, are seen below.

FX/SFX: The moving filmstrips. At least in the first logo they didn't steal the MPCA logo.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the trailer.

Availability: Seen on the theatrical trailer of Manila Boy, the only film where Pioneer Films counted up as a film production company. The only movie may contain is Irampa si Mediavillo (Embrace the Police).

Scare Factor: None. This logo is creative and original, compared to the next logo...

2nd Logo (1993)
Nicknames: "A MPCA Rip-Off!", "One Of The Most Blatant Logos Ever", "Shooting Stars: Filipino Way", "MPCA of the Philippines", "The Most #1 Blatant Filipino Logo Ever", "That Stolen Logo's Animation At The Beginning of Manila Boy", "The Filipino Son of Enterprise Producciones" 

Logo: Same as the 1987  Motion Picture Corporation of America logo, but instead of "MOTION PICTURE CORPORATION OF AMERICA" fading in, the orange-ish words "PIONEER FILMS" slide in and stop in the center of the marble background.

FX/SFX:  Same as the 1987  Motion Picture Corporation of America logo, but with a different name sliding in instead.

Cheesy Factor:  This is one of the most blatant logo rip offs ever! Who thought stealing a great logo's animation, capturing the part without text and adding their own title on it was a extremely good idea? Due to that, this logo must have a nomination for the worst logo ever. At least they didn't copy the music, because then the company would have been into extremely dangerous problems. But, looking at the Argentinian  Enterprise Producciones logo...

Music/Sounds:   A creepy synth note that holds up throughout the whole logo, accompained by whooshes, drumbeats and laser zaps.

Availability:  Was seen on the Filipino movie Manila Boy.

Scare Factor:  Low to medium, mainly due to the music, but you must laugh at the whole thing because of the extremely blatant animation theft!

3rd Logo: (Spring 1994)

Logo: A red circle with a letter P in the White Background

FX/SFX: Cel Animation

Availability: Appeared on Dino Obero: Haring Daga and Boy Timbog

Editor's Note: They closed down in Summer 1994.
