1st Logo

(1992-1998) Nicknames : "The First Nigerian Logo Ever", "And The First Nigerian Logo Award Goes To...", "...Nek Video Links!"

Logo : On a blue background, we see "N" and "K" rotating. We also see "E" zooming in. They stop rotating and zooming in as they formed the word "NEK". The registered sign spins and slides in. The elipse with "VIDEO LINKS" in front of it zooms with trails of the text. The trails disappear as the elipse stops zooming in, forming the logo.

Variant : On Living in Bondage, after forming the logo, the elipse with "VIDEO LINKS" in front of it slides to right, and "NEK" spins and slides to left. "Presents" spins while zooming in.

FX/SFX : 2D computer animation. This is the first Nigerian film to create this logo.

Music/Sounds : A happy-sounding majestic theme.

Music/Sounds Variant : On Living in Bondage, it uses an opening theme of the movie instead.

Availability : Seen on Living in Bondage, Living in Bondage 2 and Died Wretched.

Scare Factor : Low.
