Golden Bell Productions (Cambodia)

(2002-????)

Nicknames: "The Blatant Use of the Windows 2000 Sound Effects", "The Computer Bells", "Flashing Bells", "Cheesy Bells", "SOMACO International's Lost Foreign Brother", "Wild World Entertainment 2.0"

Logo: On a video of a cloudy sky, two ringing bells with a red ribbon on the top of them quickly zoom in and spin around. The bells then move up, as musical notes come out of them. The notes then dissolve into dust, then the logo moves back as the Khmer text blurs in zooming out above and the English translation "GOLDEN BELL PRODUCTION" zooms out below. The English name becomes an arc, as the bells start flashing in red colors that take up most of the screen. The English text is seen on the same circular path as the Khmer text, forming a circle. The bells then stop flashing. The arc of text then spins, as the bells flash again before the logo fades out.

FX/SFX: The bells ringing, the text blurring in, zooming out and spinning, and the flashing.

Cheesy Factor: The animation's not actually that bad for a Southeast Asian logo, but it seems tacky. And why there's that repetitive flashing? However, the major cheesiness comes from the music, as described below...

Music/Sounds: Field ambience with bells ringing throughout the whole logo are heard. Meanwhile, the Windows 2000 startup and shutdown sounds, and the 9x "Utopia" startup sound are heard playing through it.

Availability: Very rare, unless you're in Cambodia. Expect to find this on any videoke releases from the country.

Scare Factor: Low to medium. The flashing, cheesy animation and stolen sound effects can startle some. However, this is a cheaply-made logo thanks due to the stolen startup and shutdown sounds, which may even get people fall of their seats laughing!
