Metro Astro Distribution

1936–1969
Metro Astro Distribution was founded on May 22, 1936, as a result of a merger between the film companies Astro Hellson Pictures and Metro Film Corporation. The structure was introduced without any searchlights (despite the fact that the on-screen logo used them) in their first print logo.

1945–1972
The structure was discontinued in 1945 in favor of a simplified text.

1972–1982
The structure was reintroduced with an arch located above the structure.

1982–1995
This logo marked the first appearance of the searchlights (that have been in usage long before) on a print logo. In 1988, the logo below replaced this on movie posters and such, but this was used in tandem with it, as this was used on VHS cases from Metro Video until 1995.

1988–May 17, 2019
The design of this logo is similar to before, with some differences, those being that the border has the rounded corners removed, the letters’ design was changed, extra pieces being added into the searchlights and the lines were added to distinguish the letters on the top row.

May 17, 2019–present


In 2019, the new logo was designed by a Animator named Mitchell Williamson. More pieces and spotlights were added to the logo, despite the fact it was owned nowadays by Wiacom, later WiacomHBS, it is also a production partner of Handmount Pictures and also made it's division Metro Movie Entertainment
