3rd Logo (Mid-Late 1990s)

Nicknames: "Futuristic Yooho", "Futuristic Graphics", "The World Full of Psychedelic"

Logo: Over a black background, A few arrowed shapes that's supposed to be part of the director's slate, move, one by one. A black square can be seen moving below the shapes, which form into a director's slate. Then we zoom out as we cut to another view with the text "YOOHO PRODUCTION" in yellow, with the 2 "O" letters interlocked together, can be seen moving over the director's slate in a trail-like effect. Then, the details of the director's slate can be also seen moving over the director's slate in a trail-like effect. Then, handwritten text is being written in by a glowing line in the director's slate. The slate opens itself, then closes shortly after. Then, we see a few metallic korean texts moving around, all reading in order: 애정 (Affection), 액션 (Action), 코믹 (Comic), 멜로 (Mellow), 추리 (Reasoning) and 드라마 (Drama). Once we get to the last Korean text, we then flash & zoom out to view parts of a video camera recorder in a white background. After that, we cut to a blue space background, which contains a low-poly blue maze with a few blue, purple & green bubbles, all surrounding a rounded rectangle with the logo's symbol in red, which can be seen spinning. We then zoom onto the logo's symbol, as the words "YOO HO" from before, can be seen spinning in a different way (a la Toshiba EMI). Then we zoom out to a psychedelic place with a few reflectioned arrow-like shapes spinning around it. Below it is a transparent purple opal. The logo and the text is inside a 3D CRT TV with the text "yooho" underneath the screen. The CRT TV spins over 720° degrees, and goes through the transparent purple opal, leaving a little flash. The CRT TV then turns into gold, and leaves a big flash, turning the whole background into white. The korean text of the company name can be seen flying over, with the logo's symbol flying over it aswell. A light can be seen over the korean text, but is strangely visible on the logo's symbol. Then we fade out.

Variant: On some tapes, we cut to another white background. An outlined metallic gold square with the abstract blue Korean text, a blue-light blue gradient circle, fade in. A black drawing of a chick surrounded by white glow slides above the text, and stands still till it fades out.

FX/SFX: Everything, done in CGI.

Music/Sounds: A descending wind-like sound is heard at the start, then the Cori Films theme plays, while thunder sounds can be heard through the logo. A few distorted windy sounds can be heard when the Cori Films theme ended. Another descending wind-like sound, ending with a thud with buzzing sounds. Then, an majestic-sounding theme can be heard during the logo's process. More descending wind-like sounds & thunders are heard through the last part of the logo's forming process.

Music/Sounds Variants:

• Some rare occurences contain some sound effects removed from the logo, such as the thunder sounds & the descending wind-like sounds.
• The semi-extended variant contains a parade-sounding fanfare.

Availability: Very rare. This logo appears on their Korean tapes from the time. The variant could be probably seen on children tapes, althrough we're not sure if the logo in the variant is a children's label.

Editor's Note: None.
