The whole logo is an obvious knockoff of the Columbia Pictures logo.<br/><br/><u>Music/Sounds</u>: If ripping off the Columbia logo wasn't enough, the music is directly taken from <i>Star Wars </i>(from the part when the Death Star blows up), with the end cut of and replaced with some different fanfare, closed by some drums. <br/><br/><u>Availability</u>: Very rare. Mostly seen on movies made by Godfrey Ho. It's preserved on <i>Ninja the Protector </i>and <i>Ninja of the Magnificence</i>.<br/><br/><u>Editor's Note</u>: None.</font></div><font size="3"><br/></font><div><font size="3"><br/></font></div><div><font size="3"><br/></font></div><div><font size="3">2nd Logo</font></div><div><font size="3">(1980s/2000s?)</font></div><div><font size="3"><br/></font></div><div align="center"><font size="3"><font color="#ffffff">_</font><font color="#333333">[[File:F8b6f6ed7cdfb6091a1e94670adc54ad.png|310px|IFD Films and Arts (Variant)]]</font>[[File:7ea05579078d6cafbaae362ed05616df.jpeg|310px|IFD Films and Arts Limited]]</font></div><div align="center"><iframe frameborder="0" height="234" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/unknown/a35725b71ae2a19820465bfb49d9bb4481050bcb" width="310"></iframe></div><div><font size="3"><br/></font></div><div><font size="3"><u>Nicknames</u>: "Focus Features' Ancestor", "IFD Bokeh"</font></div><div><font size="3"><br/></font></div><div><font size="3"><u>Logo</u><font color="#333333">: On an animated black background with a bokeh effect, the </font><font color="#c800ff">purple</font><font color="#333333"> words:</font></font></div><div><font color="#333333" size="3"><br/></font></div><div align="center"><font><font color="#c800ff" face="Impact" size="5">IFD Films and Arts Limited</font></font></div><div align="center"><font color="#c800ff" face="Arial" size="4">presents</font></div><div align="center"><font color="#c800ff" size="4">a Joseph Lai release</font></div><div><font color="#c800ff" size="3"><br/></font></div><div></div><div><font size="3">fade in with the company name in Chinese below it.
