5 Stars

Background

5 Stars was a film production company from Egypt.

1st Logo (February 20, 1996-December 27, 2000)

Visuals: On a black background, the blue abstract number "5" fades in. Afterwards, five light blue stars form at the left side one by one, and a light blue filmstrip, containing the text "S T A R S, forms in a trail below. Once the formation is done, two halves of the light blue Arabic company name " مايـف سـتـارز للسينما والفيديو" slide in from both ends of the screen and place themselves below the filmstrip.

Variants:

On Dentelle, the logo had a different animation: it starts with the completed logo but the "5" is gold, the filmstrip is red, and the number, filmstrip, and stars slowly zoom out when the logo begins. The company name in Arabic wipes in below the logo when finished, and following this is the arabic text "تقــدم" wiping in below from top to bottom.
On Red Rose, the logo is still.
An in-credit version has the logo fully white and superimposed.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: Two tracks were used:

A majestic synth melody that starts with a gong.
An upbeat synth-orchestral tune.

The standard logos were seen in Lobster and Dentelle.
