China Media Group (CMG) released its film logos on Saturday, which will be used in the opening credits of films produced or co-produced by the media corporation.
The logo is available in two versions —long and short —and incorporates elements such as beautiful China and a vast starry sky. The background music features elements from "Ode to the Motherland" and traditional chime bells, symbolizing the media corporation's commitment to building a powerful, influential, and leading international mainstream media organization.
CMG started its history in documentary filming with the Central Newsreel and Documentary Film Studio, which traces its origins to the Yan'an Film Group, established in Yan'an, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, in 1938. This Yan'an Film Group was the first unit to produce news documentaries under the leadership of the Communist Party of China.
In 2018, during China's institutional restructuring, the Film, TV, and Documentary Center and the Film Translation Center were established. These centers, along with the Central Newsreel and Documentary Film Studio, collectively formed the film production and distribution sector of CMG.
In recent years, CMG has produced and distributed several domestic films, garnering widespread acclaim both domestically and internationally.

Nicaragua's co-foreign minister Valdrack Jaentschke has warned that militarism must never be allowed to rise again, as Japan's recent moves to lift its arms export ban and revise the pacifist Constitution continue to draw international concern.
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the opening of the Tokyo Trials, where Japan's Class-A war criminals from World War II were brought to justice.
In an interview with China Global Television Network (CGTN), Valdrack Jaentschke voiced his concern that today's world order is being undermined by interventionism and other challenges.
"It is necessary for us to remember that after the end of World War II, countries worked hard to build a new international order based on international law. However, regrettably, more than 80 years later, we are seeing that this once explored and attempted order is being challenged by interventionism, a confrontational mindset, and tendencies like 'might makes right.' These are precisely the conditions that gave rise to fascism and militarism in the past, which ultimately led to the tragedy of World War II," he said.
He said the international community has a responsibility to pursue a new international order -- one fundamentally grounded in peace.
"Looking back at the history more than eight decades ago and comparing it with today's reality, it is our responsibility to recognize that the world should, and must, build a new international order that is more just, fairer, rooted in international law, based on a logic of mutual benefit and shared success, and fundamentally grounded in peace," said the minister.
"Today, as we revisit the Tokyo Trials, it is meant to remind the world that such a tragedy must never be repeated -- and that we must do everything in our power to prevent it from happening again. We must stop that dark world -- born from militarism, interventionism, and fascism -- from ever returning," he said.
