IMUS Productions Inc. (Philippines)

1st Logo (1973-1977)
Logo: On a white background, we see the red text "IMUS" on a circle which has a royal crown on the top. Two tigers are holding the crowned circle, one in the left and the other in the right and below it are film settings, with a ribbon that says, "PRODUCTIONS INC." And some decoration of the ribbon at the bottom. Sometimes the film settings don't appear.

FX/SFX: None, it's a still logo.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the film.

Availability: Extremely rare. Seen on their films of their time, such as Mayor Gulapa of Maragondon Cavite.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1977)


Logo: On a green-shadowed background, we see the same logo from before, but with some lights covering it, and the full logo is hand-drawn with no color, on a blue circle. There's a red line over a text, which displays ' 'IMUS PRODUCTIONS, INC.", and from which appears on the bottom, "SUPERBLY PRESENTS", on an quite understandable font.

FX/SFX: It's a still logo, so there are no effects.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the film.

Availability: The only film this logo has spotted was on Bianong Bulag.

Editor's Note: None, it's more boring than the first logo and too cheesy.

3rd Logo (1984-1989)


Logo: On a blue background, we see a circle zooming in to us. When it stops, a tiger jumps over the circle, and then we see the other tiger which jumps too. Then the tigers return to the circle and roar, moving their heads. When the tigers roar, the blue text "IMUS" appears zooming on the circle. The circle then flashes and turns white, except for it's circumference (which was actually the circle). The tigers then hold the circle, and a royal crown with massive amount of trails zooms in rapidly from the circle. Actually, it flashes too. The ribbon, which says "PRODUCTIONS INC, on white zooms in too, but more rapidly. The text "SUPERBLY PRESENTS", pops and flashes out when the ribbon finishes zooming. We then fade to black.

FX/SFX: Everything on this logo, the jumping and the flashing, every detail is in this logo. Great animation.

Music/Sounds: The sounds of the tigers, a happy-sounding fanfare, along with whooshes, zaps and crashes, all done with a synth, when the text "IMUS" and the crown and the ribbon appear zapping. When the fanfare ends, an bombastic zap is heard.

Availability: Rare.

Editor's Note: This logo has quite decent animation, considering that the Philippines had low-budget animation at the time, but the logo can be pretty frightening for those scared of tigers, not to mention the overuse of zaps and whooshes.

4th Logo (2002-2006)
Nicknames: "Ropponica's Filipino Brother", "Golden Ball of Doom", "The Shield Logo's Relief", "The Third Reverse Jumpscare Logo"

Logo: On a psychedelic space background, we see a star (explosion), which has a sunburst-like effect on it when it's finally seen. A golden circle zooms to us rapidly and explodes to the screen, causing it for a cerulean sun-like thing sparkling zooming out to us. The text "IMUS" zooms too with it, along with the crown and the two tigers holding it, also the ribbon, which was empty, until the text "PRODUCTIONS, INC." appeared in black, and then six stars appear zooming out too, and then doing a flip to travel through the crown. Once the whole logo is done, the logo then flashes and shines at the same time, and the sun-like thing becomes massive when it shines, and then we cut to the original logo from before.

FX/SFX: The golden circle zooming rapidly at us, the zoom-out/formation of the logo itself, the sun-like thing zooming up too, the stars directing to the crown, all in fine CGI for the time.

Music/Sounds: An explosion, then a loudzap, which transmits into a quiet fanfare, with flashing sounds and loud sounds of the stars (whooshes).

Availability: Rare.

Editor's Note: The beginning of the animation (being the golden circle zooming at us) will startle audiences that do not like things being zoomed at them into the screen, as it is too fast and sudden. The rest of the logo is even tamer, however.

Logo: TBA

FX/SFX: All in CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: TBA

Availability: Current. Can be seen on Si Agimat, si Enteng Kabisote at si Ako and other films at the time.

Editor's Note: None.
