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:

  • For films they distributed outside of Hong Kong and Macau, the company name reads "Shaw Brothers Pictures International Limited".
  • Starting from 2019, the logo is different, the "SB" is replaced with "SHAW BROTHERS" stacked on two. The byline "Shaw Brothers Pictures, LTD." and the byline "A DIVISION OF CMC/TVB" with CMC logo and the TVB logo on it. Two sparks form the CMC and TVB logos, respectively.

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.
