(1982, 1984, 1986?)

WARNING: The logo is extremely loud and if turned on it could damage your speakers, so either turn down or turn off your volume before watching it.


Logo: Against a blue, watery background, we see a happy elephant swinging it's 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 where the watery background popped up as black in its entirety, most likely due to film deterioration.
  • On Police of the Steel (aka. "ตำรวจเหล็ก") released on 1985 to 1986, there is a Techniscope version, but the background is darker, the sun-rays looks more brighter to the other logos, and the film quality is looks rough like Kha Ma Kab Phra variant, most likely due to film deterioration. This logo is filmed from telecine, but the quality of the film is damaged during filming the movie.

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

Cheesy Factor: Someone is moving the elephant, notice when you see clearly, that the trunk is on its head first, and then falls like laces, and it's probably that the elephant is a toy. Another problem is that the text just appears, just like the Ízaro Films logo.

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/near extinction. The only films Coliseum Film has made were Phyak Yikee and Kha Ma Kab Phra. Also, was spotted on the trailer for ตำรวจเหล็ก, which can be found on YouTube.

Scare Factor:

  • Medium to nightmare, because of the elephant's menacing look, combined with the jarring appearance, uncanny motion, and loud music. The dark variant makes things look more unnerving. Minimal to low for those used or unaffected by it.
  • High to nightmare for the Kha Ma Kab Phra and the trailer for ตำรวจเหล็ก variant, as the roars on this variant make it any less friendlier.
