Background

Sampaguita Pictures was a Philippine film production company established in 1937 and closed down in 2005.

1st Logo (1937-1960s)

Logo: On a black background with a black base and two moving sets of white rays (one set moving clockwise and the other one counter-clockwise), we see the word "SAMPAGUITA" in an ascending-descending blocky font, superimposed over on the circle of the sun while standing over a a pedestal. To the left of that word, we see a filming camera and to its right, tall trees and a house. On the pedestal is a sampaguita (the Philippines' national flower) with a leaf on either side. There is a filmstrip ribbon on the bottom of the pedestal, whereupon in the middle of it are the words "PICTURES, INC." Below the filmstrip is the word "presents" in a weird cursive font. The rays keep moving and then we fade to black quickly.

FX/SFX: The sun rays moving.

Music/Sounds: A 16-note orchestral fanfare derived from the 1879 song "La Flor de Manila", composed by Dolores Paterno and also known as "Sampaguita".

Availability: Rare. Seen on the films of the period, such as Tulisang Pugot.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1960s-1990)

Logo: Similar to the first logo, but the background is sky blue with a white floor, the sun is gold, the word "SAMPAGUITA" in a smaller blocky font in beige (still ascending-descending like before), the filming camera to the left of "SAMPAGUITA" gold, and to the right of that word is the house and only one tree, all in gold. The pedestal below "SAMPAGUITA" is simply a steel blue ribbon with "PICTURES INC." on it in a white blocky font. On each end of the ribbon is a ring of very small stones.

FX/SFX: Same as before, but with the rays moving more slowly.

Music/Sounds: A bombastic fanfare that also sounds like the 20th Century Fox logo.

Availability: Rare. Seen on films like Siklab sa Batangas and Matandang Dalaga and used in tandem with the first logo in its early years.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (1970-1972)

Logo: On a sky blue background with some white-bordered horizontal lines of different colors and two white squircles (sandwiching the bunches of lines) which seems to be like a filmstrip, we see the 1937 Sampaguita print logo on the left squircle in black and the VP Enterprises logo on the right squircle in red, with the word "and" in a black cursive font on the lower left of that squircle. The logo fades out.

Variant: On My Blue Hawaii, the logo is yellow-tinted, possibly due to film deterioration.

FX/SFX: Just the fading.

Music/Sounds: TBA.

Availabillity: Only seen on My Blue Hawaii and Always in My Heart.

Editor's Note: None.

-'''Logo:''' On a morning background with black sun and rays imposing it, we see the text "SAMPAGUITA" on an ascending-descending weird but mostly understandable font, on the circle of the sun with a pedestal. Over it's borders, we see a filming camera and three/four sampaguita flowers (if you see closely, there is a house over the flowers) Over the pedestal of "SAMPAGUITA", we see some outlining of carnival outfit or some fruits. There's a filmstrip ribbon on the bottom of the pedestal, whereupon in the middle of it it's the text "PICTURES, INC." On the downwards side of the screen, we see the text "Presents" in a weird cursive font. The rays keep moving and then we fade to black quickly.

-'''Logo:''' On a platinum morning background with some golden rays moving, we see the text "SAMPAGUITA" on a less-giant ascending-descending font. Over it's borders we see the same filming camera and over the right we see the same house but with an arecaceae over the house. A very modeled blue ribbon, which says "PICTURES, INC." appears over the text. Some circled rings appear from both borders of the text "SAMPAGUITA", and the grass is now white.
