1st Logo
(1930s-1958)

Logo: On a blue background, we can see a shield, which is blue with a red border. In red, the following text is on the shield:
Under it is a yellow ribbon with some red Chinese text.

FX: None; it's a still logo. I think it's live action.

Music/Sounds: A bombastic 20th Century Fox-like fanfare, although not a loud one.

Availability: Seen on the films of the era.

Scare Factor: None to low; it can be surprising at first.

2nd Logo
(1958- )

Logo: The background looks like some kind of glass, with various colours waving behind it. First, a shield, similar to the Warner Bros. shield, appears with the the letters 'SB' in gold on it. It fades out and some Chinese text appears on the same background. It fades out and the shield appears again under some more Chinese text. The shield is between 'SHAW' and 'SCOPE'.

FX: The constant moving of the shapes in the background and the various fading ins and outs.

Music/Sounds: A bombastic fanfare with drums and trumpets.

Availability: Seen on every Shaw Bros. film of the period since 1958. Also appears on Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill Vol. 1 with the Miramax logo overlapping the first segment of this logo.

Scare Factor: None to minimal because of the music.
