1st Logo (1990s-2001)
Logo: We fade in to a white background, where a black ribbon is pulled from either side. It breaks in half and forms into two canes. We zoom back and see a man and woman wearing top-hats tap dancing. The top of the background become black as "BALLROOM FILMS" appears above in red and jitters. As the dancing continues, the woman morphs into a monster and the man gives an exaggerated fearful reaction. It soon cuts to black.

FX/SFX: Hand-painted animation.

Music/Sounds: A tango-type tune.

Availability: Many of the company's films were only ever released in arthouse theaters, and rarely, if ever, received releases outside of it. It can only be seen on the film Witnesses.

FX/SFX: Basically a form of stop-motion animation.

Music/Sounds: Sounds of an oafish man.
