Canary Films (Philippines)

1st Logo (1998)

Nicknames: "Bad Canary", "Good Harvest's Twin", "Filipino Telepictures"

Logo: On a black background, we see the yellow word "CANARY" emerging from the top followed by many shadows and moving up, like the 1st Telepictures logo. After placing off-center, the word "glows" and "FILMS" fades in.

FX/SFX: "CANARY" moving along with the shadows, the "glow", and "FILMS" fading in.

Cheesy Factor: Like the Good Harvest logo they used at the time, the logo is very bad, choppy and cheap. Also, before the logo starts, you can see a revealing yellow bar at the left side at the screen.

Music/Sounds: A calming synth pad, along with a weird warbling sound followed by a laser zap.

Availability: Extremely rare. Only appeared onAng Kilabot at Miss Pakipot.

Scare Factor: Medium, because of the contrast of a dark background and bright colors, huge text, and weird theme. But you must laugh at the cheesiness of the logo.

2nd Logo (2003-2008)

Nicknames: "The Laser-Light C: Filipino Way", "Filipino Carolco", "Now It's Looking Like Carolco!"

Logo: On a black background, a laser appears and draws parts of a stylized C, which rotates and faces to us with many lines preceeding it, kinda like the 1988 Carolco logo. The C zooms out to the left side of the screen and a line is drawn. The letters of "CANARY FILMS", on a font which looks like Goudy Stout come out of the line and the C stops.

FX/SFX: All in better animation than the 1st logo.

Cheesy Factor: The only cheesy factor here is that the 1st half copies the Carolco logo.

Music/Sounds: Another synth pad which gets more calmer at the end. Some films have the opening theme with sounds.

Availability: Rare. Since this was the time Canary Films really started to make films, you can find it easier on releases from the time such as Malikmata.

Scare Factor: Minimal due to the fast pace, but fans of the Carolco logo may like this.
