Liberty Film Company (Hong Kong)

(April 13, 1953-November 6, 1959) Nicknames : "The Hong Kong Torch Lady, But Without Torch Lady", "That Vintage Logo At The Beginning of Queen of the Stage and A Matter of Face", "The Sparkles", "The Most Cheapest Hong Kong Logos Ever", "Tao Yuen's Twin", "Honey, My 11-Year-Old Made This Logo"

Logo : On a waving water-like background, we see a torch with a sunburst which emmits rays. In the superior of it there are 2 Chinese characters, which translates to "LIBERTY". In the bottom of it there's a ribbon with 4 Chinese characters, which translates to "FILM COMPANY". The sunburst continues emmiting rays until we fade out.

FX/SFX : The rays moving and the water waving.

Cheesy Factor : There's a problem of this logo. They ripped off the Columbia Pictures logo, and the text that says "由自" seems like it's rip-offing 20th Century Fox, but the rays doesn't look like searchlights. It's unnecessary to also put a shadow on the background. This can be done by a 11-year-old who did not know how to special effects.

Music/Sounds : An Indonesian-like triumphant fanfare.

Availability : Rare. Seen on their films like Queen of the Stage and A Matter of Face.

Scare Factor : Low to medium. The sparkles combined with the Indonesian-like triumphant fanfare would definitely scare a lot of people, otherwise it's harmless. However, you'll be laughing at it after they ripped off these two famous logos.
