Background[]
Hieroglyph Films was a movie company.
Logo (2017-)[]
Nicknames: "The Cheesiest CGI Logo", "Even 101 Did Better!", "The Low-Quality Logo".
Logo: On the space background, a explosion occurs. A Hieroglyph (from Miitopia) appears in blue color while shifting to normal (and zooming out) while the hieroglyph turns into normal color. After it stops shifting, the hieroglyph zooms in and stops before taking up the screen. The explosion disappears after a while. A few seconds later, the explosion reappears, then disappears. The company name doesn't appear.
Variants:
- On Shree Harpies: Halloween, the logo has blood-red color, and the Hieroglyph explodes into blood. No another explosion is shown.
- On Shree Harpies: The Hunter Begins, the animation is different: On the zooming space background, a supernova occurs, revealing the hieroglyph and the text "HIEROGLYPH FILMS" in white color. The supernova disappears.
FX/SFX: CGI.
Cheesy Factor: OFF THE CHARTS!! The CGI is dated, looks like it was made in Panzoid, the video quality is bad, making it look like a low-quality logo and you can see the pixels in the logo! First, the logo looks like it was animated in 30 FPS...HOW THIS WAS THAT POSSIBLE?! Second, as the explosion occurs, we only cut where the hieroglyph appears with no transition effect at all, and the explosion disappears inside. Not to mention that if you pause and look closely before the hieroglyph appears, the hieroglyph fades in fast and is zoomed out. Third, the explosion doesn't look like a realistic explosion! It looks MORE like some pile of sand being thrown towards the camera! Fourth, if you look closely when the hieroglyph appears, you can see a blue line on the left of the hieroglyph! Fifth and finally, the sound of an explosion is badly done and it's low-quality. This has to be one of - if not - the worst CGI logo ever. They couldn't have done better! Also, the Shree Harpies: The Hunter Begins variant was a BIG improvement and the Shree Harpies: Halloween was scary enough! But looking for this logo...
Music/Sounds: The explosion sound playing 4 times.
Music/Sounds Variants:
- On Shree Harpies: Halloween, the creepy tune plays throughout the logo. When the Hieroglyph explodes, there's a blood splattering sound.
- On Shree Harpies: The Hunter Begins, there's a twinkling tune. When the supernova occurs, a explosion was heard.
Availability: Seen on Karate Harpies.
Scare Factor;
Depends on the variant:
- Original Version: Low to high. The explosion sound can catch you off-guard but you might laugh how cheesy and bad it is!
- Shree Harpies: Halloween Variant: Medium to nightmare. The hieroglyph exploding to blood can scare/disturb some. The creepy tune will ONLY make this scarier.
- Shree Harpies: The Hunter Begins Variant: Minimal. The supernova and the twinkling tune may surprise some. But it's tamer than the original version. This does feel like an logo that was used in films. Also, the supernova make it less friendly than other Dead [character] logos!
