Background

United Filmmakers Organization is a Chinese film company founded in 1992. They produced about 30 films before going dormant in 2015 with Keeper of Darkness. Their library can be found here.

1st Logo (August 6, 1992?-2014)

Visuals: On a dark night sky with blinking stars, there is a blue silhouette of a person rolling a film director on a chair. Afterward, more blue silhouettes of a film crew begin to fade in (including a person setting up a light). After enough people come in, we see the gold letters UFO fade in, as the silhouettes and sky switch colors. A shooting star flies across the now bright sky from the bottom left corner as the logo freeze-frames. The company's name appears below in white.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Silence, or the opening theme, as in the case of He's a Woman, She's a Man.

Availability: First appeared on The Days of Being Dumb, and ending with I Love Hong Kong.

2nd Logo (March 27, 2014-)

Visuals: Same as the first one, but there are some differences. The lighting people's bright light starts the logo and the people are standing in their stationary positions. The text also fades in considerably faster, and is animated. This logo also has improved animation over the last one, with it being more realistic.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: None.

Availability: It first appeared on Horseplay, and has appeared on the company's films since then.

-'''Logo:''' On a black background set at night with stars, we see a blue silhouette of a person rolling a director on a chair coming to the right. We then see more people setting up film equipment fade in as the stars begin to blink. We then see the letters "UFO" fade in as all the silhouettes turn black. The black background then turns into a brighter shade of blue, as a shooting star flies in from the bottom left. The logo freeze-frames as the company's English name appears at the bottom, with below a line being the Chinese version of the name.
