El Niño Films (Philippines)

Background: This was a softcore film company that made films from 1983 to 2005. 1st Logo (1983-late 90's) Logo : We see a neon child carrying a reel of film revealing upward to the center, then the red cursive text "El Niño" writes up. The extra line of the "ñ" later attaches to the reel to represent the film. "FILMS", below "Niño", crawls down. FX/SFX : The child and reel appearing upward, the writing and crawling. Cheesy Factor : For something so simply made and in the '80s, it sure was used for a long time. That kind of animation was outdated in the late '80s/early '90s, yet they only stopped using the logo in the late '90s. Music/Sounds : A moog synth that sounds a lot like the one from the Interglobal logos. It stops when the child and film are revealed, accompained by weird laser and/or film projector sounds when the company name reveals. Availability : Extremely rare. You can find it on Filipino adult films from the 1990's including Bukas. Scare Factor : High to nightmare. The logo and it's outdated effects, the Interglobal-like synth, and the weird sound can surprise viewers.

2nd Logo (Late 90's-mid-2000's)

Logo : On a starry background, the orange words "EL NIÑO" with a same child carrying a filmreel from before between these words, fade in. The word "films" is seen below. After some seconds, the logo fades out, and "Presents", in cyan fades in.

Variants :
 * The most common version is where the logo is shown without the 2nd half (the "Presents" part). This is called as the short version of the logo.
 * In some films, like Kasibulan and Pagsaluhan, the short variant is used, but the kid only fades out.
 * On Shangten Films releases, the long version is used, but after "Presents" fades out, the Shangten Films logo proceeds on the same starry background.

FX/SFX : The fading for the original version.
 * A dark variant also exists.

Cheesy Factor :
 * This logo looks WAY dated for a logo acceptable to be used on the 2000's! You may want to think it as something that came up during the 60's or 70's instead.


 * The kid image is extremely bright, which can cause irritation for brightness.

Music/Sounds : The opening theme of the movie. For the short variant (and other films with Shangten), some ascending/descending wind chimes, which may be accompained by the opening theme.
 * Like the previous logo, this logo's animation is not very creative. It was improved for the Shangten Films version, however.

Availability : Scarce. It can be seen on some Filipino adult movies like Malikot Ang Agos. The version without Presents is shown on Lollipop, Sagad andPagsaluhan, andpossibly other films. The Shangten Films variant is known to appear in Bukas May Ligaya and Heto Ako, Lalaki.

Scare Factor : Minimal. The way the logo's shown in the black starry background can be scary for a few, but this is one of the most retro-styled 2000's logos in the world, and tamer than the previous one.
