Kim Lợi Production (Vietnam)

1st Logo

(1999-2000's)

Nickname: Starfield

Logo: On a starfield, we see the text "Kim Lợi Production", in emerald, rapidly zoom in with a trail-effect residue. The text zooms in and we see the entire company name sweeping across the screen. The text then zooms out into the starfield with a trail effect.

FX/SFX: Trails, and Scanimate-like effects.

Cheesy Factor: Barely any effort put into this. Late 70's animation for a 21st century logo, and the cheesiness only gets worse with the next logo.

Music/Sounds: A heavenly crystal-like tune that sounds like the beginning of the opening theme of an anime show. The music loops jarringly at the middle of the logo.

Availability: Rare. Can be seen on many Videocassettes, and Video CD's by the Kim Loi Studio.

Scare Factor: Low

2nd Logo

(2000's-)

Nicknames: The Toei Video/20th Century Fox Rip-Off, "The Worst 20th Century Fox Ripoff"

Logo: We fade into a purple and black background with a group of orange translucent crystals. The camera pans around the cryst

als, and with a jarring cut, goes to a slightly different angle. an orange translucent disc with "KL" carved on it slowly turns and rises. The shot fades into a 20th Century Fox like structure but there are considerably less searchlights and the words are replaced with "KIM LOI PRODUCTIONS". The background is also a blue starry background. The logo fades after doing a turn which also eerily resembles 20th Century Fox's turn, but faster and the opposite direction. The logo fades.

FX/SFX: The animation of the logo.

Cheesy Factor: Destroys the scale. The animation to boot is simplistic, undefined, and primitive--also, this logo rips off two other logos in the process (the first one being the Toei Home Video logo, albeit not in an extremely similar fashion). If this logo is still being used today, then that would be a hard fact to swallow. It is one of the contenders for the worst modern logo of all time!

Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo.

Availability: Scarce. Can be seen on many Videocassettes, and Video CD's by the Kim Loi Studio.

Scare Factor: Low. But you'll be laughing on how awful and unoriginal this logo is.
