Golden Dragon Cambodian Video (United States/Cambodia)

Logo descriptions by SnowflakesOmega

Background: Golden Dragon Cambodian Video was a company located in Long Beach, California that produced some Cambodian songs.

(1990s)

Nicknames: "GDC Shield (of Doom)", "Cambodian Shield (from Hell)", "The Other Cheesy Shield", "Cheap Zooming Shield", "But There Are No Dragons!", "The Tie Breaker Is Now Disguised As A Shield", "Warner Bros and Viacom Now Have A Kid", "Warner Viacom", "Warcom", "The Star Wars Thief".

Logo: On a light grey background, we see a red bordered shield zoom out with the letters "GDC" inside, witch stands for Golden Dragon Cambodian. The Khmer blue text, placed like an arc, fades in above the shield, along with the blue text "GOLDEN DRAGON CAMBODIAN VIDEO" sandwiched by two lines, below. The shield stops zooming out. But the shield later starts zooming in (like the V of Doom), and the blue text fades out, leaving the shield zooming in until the logo fades to black before the shield takes over the entire screen.

FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: The shield zooming in and out, and the text fading in and out, ultra cheap animation, and you can tell there's no dragons in this logo. Also, why did they steal a theme from the Star Wars soundtrack instead of making their very own fanfare?

Music/Sounds: A portion of the Tie Fighter music from the standard Star Wars movie.

Availability: Unknown, possibly rare bordering on uncommon. Although it has been spotted on collections of music videos of Cambodian pop artists of the day made by the company.

Scare Factor: Low to nightmare. The music is dramatic, the Khmer text looks weird (but not that much), and the cheesy zoom-in of the shield (which could remind some of the V of Doom) could make someone run away. This is also a perfect combination of Warner Bros Pictures and Viacom. Some may just be not affected by the logo's overall cheesy nature instead, and the knowledge of recognizing the Star Wars music could also bring some laughs.
