Logo (1951-1963)

Visuals: We see an illustration of a Malayan tiger on a blue background. The stacked text "MALAYAN FILM UNIT" with red sides and "PRESENTS" under it fades in as the tiger fades away.

Variants:

  • For the logo's debut, the text is in a Serif font, and the tiger is intact. "presents" is also italicized.
  • A B&W variation is more commonly used, where the background is slightly different.
  • The illustration of the Malayan tiger may vary, depending on the film.
  • On some films, "PRESENTS" is translated to "MEMPERSEMBAHKAN".
  • On Merdeka for Malaya, "PRESENTS" is omitted, and the company name is in a different font.
  • On Malaya, the text is replacted with "Presenting" in cursive.
  • On Safar, the background just consists of a blue light, which fades away as a less 3D version of the text with black sides fades in.

Technique: Chroma key effects.

Audio: A fifteen-note bombastic fanfare with faint drumrolls at the end.

Availability: Its earliest known appearance was on The Knife, and made an appearance on all of the company's later films and documentaries up to Milestones To Malaysia.
