Finnkino

Logos[]

1st logo (1986 - 1995)[]

On a dark blue background, the 1st Finnkino logo can be seen, which is 1/3rd of a circle and a hemisphere combined to form a "K", both in a blue color. It then slowly revolves around once, giving off traces of a globe on both sides. As it finishes its revolution, "FINNKINO" fades in below.

2nd logo (1995 - 1999)[]

On a space background, a rotating planet gets revealed by light. It then converts into a creature's eye with 2 ballet dancers jumping up. The eye then converts back to the planet before the ballet dancers become dust and fly away. The current Finnkino logo, which is a circle with the letter "f" in it, appears in red, along with the text "FINNKINO" stacked on each other being briefly seen. The planet and stars disappear, as the logo appears.

3rd Logo (1999-2010)[]

On a black background, a blue streak revolves and forms a silver ring. It then starts to rotate up as another streak forms another silver ring. As this happens, the space between the rings turns orange and an orange streak forms the "f" with a spotlight revolving around it. The "f" then shines, inverting the color placement and giving off a glow. "F I N N K I N O" then appears below and shines.

4th Logo (2010-2022)[]

On a completely black background, we see a glimpse of a straight film roll moving forward on the right side with lighting seen on the back of the roll. The film roll disappears to the darkness for a second, only to be seen fully, forming a camera lens edge. The film roll keeps rotating around it as we can see the glow of the lens formed with dark green background barely seen. Inside the camera lens, we can see the "f" fading slowly in, causing quick flashing while illuminating the entire background around the logo. The sudden impact releases series of green waves from the logo, which makes the "F I N N K I N O" become more visible below the logo. The bright flashing effect breaks in two opposite directions on the text and bursts out of it as gold dust. The logo also becomes more visible with edges and the "f" colored yellow and the base colored black. At the same time, green waves coming from the logo get absorbed into the dark green background.

Music/sounds[]

1st logo: A dreamy synth-chime tune.

2nd logo: A dramatic and creepy string theme with a wolf howling through the middle, and a loud "DING!" when the Finnkino logo appears.

3rd logo: An ominous soundtrack with electrical sounds throughout the logo and a drum roll at the end.

4th logo: Dramatic and mystical orchestral music, that becomes more optimistic-sounding after the loud impact sound caused by the flashing logo.

Scare factor[]

1st logo: None to low. The dark atmosphere might not sit well with a few, but this is a great logo due to the beautiful music, nice CGI, and longevity. This is one of the most iconic logos of the 1980s. But the next logo is a different story...

2nd logo: High to nightmare. The scary music combined with the black background will scare many. The blood red logo does not help at all. And the creepy wolf howl could be anything but friendly.

3rd logo: Low to medium. The strange music, black background, and zapping will scare a few, although it is a decent logo. However, this is MUCH tamer than the previous logo.

4th logo: None to low. The explosion will startle some at first, but like the 1st logo, this is a beautiful logo with great animation, beautiful music, and longevity.
