B Film (Germany)

(1970's)

Logo: On a blue background, we see a dot-like circle at the bottom on it. Suddenly, the 2 blue squares move to reveal a red background. Then the airplane-like object slides to down. The circle then zooms to form the logo, which inside there's "B" behind the A-like lines and "FILM" in semicircular. The logo zooms in. The multiple rings zoom and "zeigt" (which means "presents") in Cooper Black font fades in. The multiple rings continue to zoom until we fade out.

Variant: In full screen prints, the "zeigt" text is moved to the logo's bottom-left side.

FX/SFX: The squares moving, the object sliding down, the logo forming, and the rings zooming.

Music/Sounds: A triumphant Hong Kong-like orchestral fanfare.

Availability: Ultra rare. It was seen on some German-dubbed kung fu films, among them 7 Kampfmaschinen des Todes (alternative German title, the original title is Kung Fu of Seven Steps).

Scare Factor: None to Low. The logo zooming in and music will startle some, otherwise it's harmless.
