Nicknames
: "Nanny Nanny Boo-Boo", "First Films/Scope" The Offensive fanfare Hong kong logo

Logo
: On a dark blue background, we see a dim logo. The logo then becomes brighter to reveal that it is a large brown "1" with a smaller "1" inside of it that is the same color as a wreath surrounding the large "1". After the "1" zooms out, the large words "
FIRST" and "SCOPE" fade in on either side of the "1", along with some yellow Chinese characters below. The logo sparkles throughout.

Variant: Sometimes, the word "
FILMS" instead of the word "SCOPE" is seen.

FX/SFX: The brightening and zooming out of the "1", the fading in of the text, and the sparkling.

Music/Sounds: A drumroll followed by a fanfare with the first six notes borrowed from the common childish tune that is often sung "Nanny Nanny Boo-Boo".

Availability: Common on many films made in Hong Kong, such as the Mandarin film Ma Su Chen. Sometimes is plastered or preceded by the Media Asia logo. A very cut-off version can also be seen on a VHS copy of Women Warriors.

Editor's Note: None.
