Lion Base Int'l Ltd.

(2004)

Logo: Over a stock purple background, a filmstrip marquee (similar to the MGM logo) zooms out and has a video of a lion yawning (as an attempt to imitate roaring) at a sunny rural area inside the circle. Once the lion roars, flashing green text comes out of its mouth and morphs into a circle, reading "LION BASE INT'L LTD" The text then stretches over the circle of the marquee and the video fades into another view of the same lion yawning. The logo stops zooming once everything is complete.

Technique: Live-action and CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: Footage of nature recordings with an instrument note at the beginning and some distorted lion roars.

Availability: Seen on various Nigerian movies, for example Heart on Fire.

Legacy: This logo appears to be a parody of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios
