Neo Films (Philippines)

Background:  Neo Films was a subsidiary of VIVA Films/Entertainment, which ran from 1995 to 2003.

(1994-2003) Logo:  On a blue cloudy background, we see the letters of the word "neo" zooming out, rotating, and placing themselves letter-by-letter. The white underline of the text along with "FILMS" below fades in. The VIVA Entertainment byline also fades in below. Variants:


 * A darker version exists.
 * On Manalo Matalo Mahal Kita and Super-B, there's no VIVA byline.
 * On Warfreak, the logo fades to negative colors after forming.

FX/SFX:  Simple but acceptable CGI for the time.

Music/Sounds:  A synthesized majestic fanfare.

Music/Sounds Variants:


 * On Manalo Matalo Mahal Kita (and possibly other early features), a majestic fanfare is heard.
 * On Super-B, the opening theme is heard.
 * On Ang Huling Birhen Sa Lupa, a rising sound, then a synth bass theme is heard. It finishes with a bang.
 * On Katawan, a pluck sound is heard while the VIVA byline is fade in.
 * On Mumbaki and Wangbu, an uplifting fanfare with 4 drumbeat at the end is heard.

Availability:  Uncommon. Can be found on films like Honey, Nasa Langit Na Ba Ako?. According to IMDb, Neo produced twenty-nine known movies and distributed three (two of which were of their own), and most of the releases may contain this logo. It premiered on Manalo Matalo Mahal Kita, and last appeared on Super-B (2002) and Ang Huling Birhen Sa Lupa (2003).

Scare Factor:


 * Minimal. The font of "neo" and dark background may creep a few people, but this is not as scary as the logo VIVA Films used at the time.
 * Minimal to low with the other fanfare.
 * Low for the Ang Huling Birhen Sa Lupa music variant.
