Background
Nippon Herald Films was a film division of a Japanese newspaper publisher, The Nippon Herald.
1st Logo (1960-1990)
Logo: On a black background, we see the old Nippon Herald logo with a company's name in Japanese on the bottom.
FX/SFX: None.
Variants:
- A 10th Anniversary variant exists.
- On Utamaro's World, the logo is on a beige relief background.
Music/Sounds: None or opening theme of the movie.
Availability: Common.
Editor's Note: None.
2nd logo (1990-1997)
Logo: A gray background with a small red dot quickly fades in, as a backwards lowercase h is drawn in black. The text HERALD (all capital letters) then slowly rises out of the middle of the screen and rests below the dot. Then, the names in Japanese:
NIPPON HERALD FILMS CO., LTD.
Trivia: Herald Ace, Inc. was an old incarnation of Asmik Ace's movie division.
FX/SFX: Simple smooth animation.
Music/Sounds: A calm, peaceful little tune plays as the entire logo plays out.
Availability: Common.
Editor's Note: None.
3rd Logo (1996-2005)
Logo: On sky background, we see a red planet Earth rotating with the stylized N flying together with the world "HERALD" zooming in, Then, the company's name in Japanese wipes in.
Variants:
- There's a prototype version seen on a special 40th anniversary reel showing Nippon Herald's productions and releases from 1959 to 1997. The logo begins with the red Earth already on-screen, and the animation is slightly faster.
- On the Azumi duology (and maybe also on latter Nippon Herald movies), it's still.
FX/SFX: CGI animation.
Music/Sounds: Same as before, or none. On some DVDs, a Japanese announcer says the company's name. Starting in 1998, the theme was now in stereo.
Availability: Common.
Editor's Note: None.
