1st Logo (November 20, 1992-1998)

Technique: Motion-controlled animation.

Audio: A bombastic synth fanfare.

Availability: Seen on at least one release, which is Porco Rosso.

2nd Logo (1998-)

Visuals: On a black background, there is a stylized lowercase "e" with a sun emblem. Then, the text in both Cantonese and English fade in appears saying "Distributed by EDKO FILMS LTD.", Then a red line extending until it stops into the said company's name and logo.

Sometimes, the name was just simply "EDKO FILMS LIMITED".
In the later years, the logo is now smaller.
