3rd Logo (1978-1992)

Visuals: On a space background, a spinning globe zooms in. Five silver stars zoom out one-by-one and sparkle, placing themselves above the globe arched. The globe flashes and the company name in Thai "ไฟว์สตาร์ โปรดักชั่น" zooms in and places itself below the globe. The text continues to sparkle.

Visuals: The logo starts with a moving aerial shot of city lights at night, with a blue glow at the horizon. The camera then rotates diagonally, and the city lights change to a shot of a green landmass of the Earth as a flare brightens up at the left. The glow dims a little, and the Earth zooms out, revealing itself completely over a starfield, facing the region of Asia and Oceania. A blue glow then appears around the Earth, with the five stars and the Thai text in silver emerging from it around the Earth, in a similar fashion to the last two logos. Blue lights then appear below and form the letters of "FIVE STAR PRODUCTION" in silver.
