1st Logo (1965)
Nickname: "The Early Kokuei"
Logo: On a black background, we see a white outlined circle with kanji (in a compressed style) and the Japanese name meaning "DISTRIBUTED BY KOKUEI COMPANY" in white below. This logo is same to the Toho stylized logo.
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Only appeared on Koji Wakamatsu's 歪んだ関係.
Editor's Note: None.
2nd Logo (1960s-1990s?)
Logo: We see a black screen, which then gets engulfed by live-action fire. As the fire covers up the whole screen, a circular logo (like Toho) with Kanji and the Japanese name below rises up to the center.
FX/SFX: The fire, the logo rising up.
Music/Sounds: A low-pitched, menacing theme that sounds like a dark ambient song (even if dark ambient didn't exist at the time).
Availability: Rare, bordering on extinct. Seen on their pink film releases such as The Black Snow, Sex Family and Tears of Ecstasy.
Editor's Note: The whole thing looks very infernal and it has ominous music, which altogether may unnerve some people.
