Logo descriptions by Gabriel Katikos and EnormousRat
Background: A Canadian-based company started by filmmaker Lloyd A. Simandl. When Lloyd was filming Chained Heat II, he relocated the company from Canada to his native Czech Republic in order to save money, and he has been making movies there ever since.

(1990s)
Nickname: "The Torch Man", "The Collision of Paramount and Columbia"
Logo: A pack of stars fly into the screen, moving to the center, where the man figure now a silhouette standing on a big bell on one foot appears. The statue rotates, and the stars place themselves
around.
FX/SFX: The stars appearing and moving, the statue rotating.
Cheesy Factor: The animation is a bit rough.
Music/Sounds: The opening of the film's theme or a "woosh" on some films.

Scare Factor: Low.
2nd Logo

Nicknames: "The New and Improved Torch Man", "The OTHER Torch Lady Ripoff", " The Collision of Paramount and Columbia II"
Logo: A pack of stars fly into the screen, moving to the center, where the man figure standing on a big bell appears. The statue rotates, and the stars place themselves around.
FX/SFX: The flash, the logo zooming out, the stars appearing.
Cheesy Factor: The animation is a bit rough, and the whole thing looks like a rip-off of the Columbia Pictures and Paramount Pictures logos combined.
Music/Sounds: The opening of the film's theme.
Availability: Can be seen on Act of War (1998) and CrackerJack 3 (2000), among others..
Scare Factor: Low.
