Background

In 2015, TVB Group, a former subsidiary of Shaw Brothers Ltd., resurrected the Shaw Brothers name to the big screen. This new company, Shaw Brothers Pictures Ltd., was launched in March 24, 2015.

(2015- )



Nicknames: "CGI Shield", "Shield in the Space", "CGI SB Shield", "SB Shield", "Warner Bros' Best Friend", "The TVB Shield", "The Best Rip Off"

Logo: On a space background, we see the shield (without the initials "SB") rotating for a bit. The initials then zoom onto the shield letter-by-letter. After that, the shield emits sparks (like fireworks) as it zooms back in a comfortable distance. Fairy dust effects wipes in the words "Shaw Brothers Pictures LTD" and its Chinese translation (which rotates a bit). The byline "A member of TVB Group" rotates, and finally, a comet appears flying into the right side of the byline and flashes into the TVB logo (a white rounded square with a tri-colored circle on the center).

Variants:

  • A variant with "SHAW BROTHERS" in the shield exists. This one omits the "LTD".
  • For films they distributed outside of Hong Kong and Macau, the company name reads "Shaw Brothers Pictures International Limited".
  • A later variant of the byline exists. There are now two sparks that form the logos on the byline, "An associate of CMC and TVB" with "CMC" set in its corporate font in red.

FX/SFX: The shield forming. Very impressive and detailed CGI.

Music/Sounds: An improved, remastered version of the 1958 logo's music.

Availability: Current. Seen on movies released by the company such as Triumph in the Skies and From Vegas to Macau II.

Editor's Note: An amazing way of reviving the Shaw Brothers name back into the big screen.
