Background
The Wing-Scope Co. was founded in early 1970s by brothers Alan "Student Prince" Tang and Rover Tang. They later set up another fellow company called In-Gear.
(1977-1987)
Nicknames: "TWS", "Zooming TWS", "Rough TWS", "Strange TWS", "TWS of Doom" (3rd fanfare variant)
Logo: On a white (later sky blue) background, a red "TWS" in a font similar to the Sega logo zooms in a la the Viacom "V of Doom" until it engulfs the screen with red. When it engulfs the screen, the same logo in yellow zooms in and then rests just above the middle of the screen. Chinese characters zoom out from the middle of the screen and "THE WING-SCOPE CO." appears above. Later in it's life, the Chinese characters are different and appear below and "THE WING SCOPE FILM PRODUCTION LTD." appears in a Piegnot font.
FX/SFX: The animation, which is reminiscent of the 1973 Warner Bros. logo. The design of the "TWS" may confuse someone for understanding it as "TWO", which could count as a case of awkward design.
Music/Sounds: This logo had various fanfares.
- The first uses of this had a 1-note somewhat bombastic fanfare, with some quiet sounds at the end.
- It also used another bombastic fanfare.
- It used a dark fanfare (unlike the Feng Huang logo), with drum rolls and bird chirping.
- It also used various rock themes.
- It also used a calm, repeating horn-dominant fanfare.
- It also used a progressive synth theme.
Availability: Very rare. It was seen on films such as New York Chinatown.
Editor's Note: The zooming TWS, high-contrast colors, and fast pace will definitely startle people.
