Logo: Over a starry background, a set of four trailing lights - pink, yellow, red and cyan respectively - shoot into a center and merge, creating a brief flash. A neon-like white seagull emerges from that flash and flies forth into view, moving up and coming back from the right as a rainbow trail appears behind it. The seagull flies into the top-center and flashes, turning the background into plain black as it turns into a 2D drawing of an stylized "S", with two small bars seen at the right. A flare emerges the red Chinese text below, moving left to right, as a flash appears behind. "Silver Bird Films Ltd." trails in thru a light effect, while a star quickly flashes at the right of the logo.
