Coliseum Film (Thailand)

(1982, 1984, 1986?)

WARNING: The logo is extremely loud and could potentially damage your speakers, so either turn down your volume before watching it or watch it with the sound off.

Logo: Against a blue, watery background, we see a happy elephant swinging its head and trunk in a sunny background, with a red ribbon covering the elephant and the abbreviation of the company "CF" on a rectangle at the middle of the ribbon. Sunburst-like colors (red, yellow, green, purple, blue) appear once the elephant screams, and after 3 seconds of only that, green text appears on the bottom. The text translates to "Coliseum Film". The sunburst-like colors then stop, along with the elephant after 5 seconds, but the colors' shadow/reflection superseding it can be seen.

Variants:
 * A variant existed on Kha Ma Kab Phra and The Mountain Lion (aka. "เล่อภูเขา") where the watery background is black, most likely due to film deterioration.
 * On Police of the Steel (aka. "ตำรวจเหล็ก"), from either 1985 or '86, there is a Techniscope version, but the background is darker, the sun-rays look brighter than usual, and the film quality is as rough as on the Kha Ma Kab Phra variant, most likely due to film deterioration. This logo was filmed from telecine, but using badly damaged film stock.

FX/SFX: The sunburst, the elephant moving its trunk and head.

Music/Sounds: A loud triumphant fanfare, all in conjoint of an elephant screaming, a la Devar Films logo. Two films, in other words, Kha Ma Kab Phra and ตำรวจเหล็ก (Police of the Steel), used more furious roaring with a male announcer at the end.

Availability: Rare. This appeared on Phyak Yikee, Kha Ma Kab Phra, and The Mountain Lion. Also spotted on the trailer for ตำรวจเหล็ก, which can be found on YouTube.

Editor's Note: The elephant is most likely a toy, as the trunk is on its head first, and then falls like laces.
