Armenfilm
Background: Armenfilm (Russian: Арменфильм, also known as Hayfilm Armenian: Հայֆիլմ) is an Armenian film studio in Yerevan. The studio was founded on 16 April 1923 as a production unit of the Soviet State Cinema Organisation, with Daniel Dznuni as the first director. Armenfilm was sold by the state to private investors in 2005 with a long list of conditions of revitalizing the studio's equipment and producing new content. It was rebranded CS Film Studios but failed to produce the required new feature films. In 2015, the Government of the Republic of Armenia decided that the new management had failed to satisfy the conditions of the sale and moved to reclaim the studio's assets.

Nicknames: "3D statue of David of Sassoun", "The Stormy Statue", "The Dark Statue"
Logo: On a dark stormy background, we see a figure. Then, a flash of lightning appears, revealing that it's a closeup of a stone sword. The camera then pans through the sword as we see some wavy textures, with some lightning still flashing. We then see a head of a statue, which is the statue of David of Sassoun. The camera pans out from the statue as we see the statue in full view. Then, a flash of lightning appears, with the text
ՀԱՅՖԻԼՄ
ARMENFILM
flashing in. The logo fades out.
Trivia: This logo is created by Triada Studio based in Yerevan.
FX/SFX: Nice CGI animation.
Music/Sounds: An ominous tune with a horn and violin, accompanied by the sounds of thunder, lightning and a sword swinging as the statue appears.
Availability: Seen on releases from the company.
Editor's Note: Not many people are going to sit well with the darkness of the logo, sudden appearance of the statue and music. The fact that it also takes place in a stormy background doesn't help, either.
