Animated Logos

1st Logo (July 17, 2004-December 2010)

• 

Visuals: The logo ("rim" in gold, with the "i" being white and is behind a gold rectangle with a triangle below it), is seen rising up from the water on a sunny day as Thai text rotating one-by-one.

Variant: On a July 17, 2004 episode of Kadeeded, the logo plays in-credit.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A crystalized sound effect. The in-credit variant had the theme playing over the closing theme.

Availability: The logo is seen on Kantana co-produced programs at the time, with the most known example being Kadeeded.

2nd Logo (January 2011-December 2013)

• 
  Early variant (January 2011-November 2012)
• 
  Later variant (December 2012-2013)

Visuals: On a blue background, a bulletin board is seen on the left, with several pictures of the company's produced shows (including three logos of Kadeeded, and the show's host) hanging on it. Two images and green pins were fallen on the surface. On the right, there is a tiny headless man wearing a business suit. "I RiM" in a thin rounded font drops down beside the man, causing the lightbulb to emerge onto his head as it turns on. A sunburst can be seen behind the bulletin board when this happens.

Later Variant: Beginning December 2012, the text now reads "I-RIM", and is in a taller bold font.

Technique: 2D digital animation.

Audio: Two swooshing sounds, followed by a seven-note trombone tune, with a two-note flute tune accompany the last three notes.

Availability: The logo is seen on Kantana co-produced programs at the time, such as Kadeeded.

3rd Logo (January 2014-)

• 

Visuals: The letters of "IMAGINATION RIM" in a serif font are seen rotating one-by-one over a white background as they shine during the process. After they rotate to the right, they disappear, causing "I-RIM" to appear, with the letters rotating to the front each other.

Variant: Beginning in 2022, the logo is shortened to when "I-RIM" is revealed.

Technique: CGI.

Audio:

• In its first months of use, it's the same audio from the previous logo.
• Later on, an ethereal pad sounder with a choir is first heard, followed by a swooshing sound.
  • The theme is later shortened to its last few seconds, beginning in 2022.

Availability: The logo is seen on Kantana co-produced programs from the time, such as Kadeeded episodes since 2014, and its spinoff, Kadeeded: Secret File.

In-Credit Logo

Logo (September 16, 2000-July 3, 2004)

Visuals: "rim" in blue, with the "i" being white and is behind a blue rectangle with a triangle below it. Below "rim", there is the blue company name in Thai. The logo is seen over a white scribble with the company names in typewriter font inside of it.

Variant: Beginning November 17, 2001, a white scribbled rectangle with Thai text is added below.

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: The ending theme of the show.

Availability: The logo is seen on Kadeeded, beginning with the second episode, aired on September 16, 2000. Kantana's YouTube channel's upload of the show's first few episodes had it, alongside said company's logo, preserved.
