You can view this logo here

Logo: On a starfield, we see the text "Kim Lợi Production", in emerald, rapidly zoom in with a trail-effect residue. The text zooms in and we see the entire company name sweeping across the screen. The text then zooms out into the starfield with a trail effect.

FX/SFX: Trails, and Scanimate-like effects.

Cheesy Factor: Barely any effort put into this. Late 70's animation for a 21st century logo, and the cheesiness only gets worse with the next logo.

Music/Sounds: A heavenly crystal-like tune that sounds like the beginning of the opening theme of a breakfast television programme - the song is actually called "I Want to Walk With You" by Japanese musician Seishiro Kusunose, which loops jarringly at the middle of the logo.

Availability: Rare. Can be seen on many Videocassettes, and VCD's by the Kim Loi Studio Company.

Editor's note: too soon to say

4th Logo (2002-)

Nicknames: The Alliance/20th Century Fox Rip-Off, "20th Century Alliance (in Vietnam)"

Logo: We fade into a purple and black background with a group of orange translucent crystals. The camera pans around the crystals, and with a jarring cut, goes to a slightly different angle. an orange translucent disc with "KL" carved on it slowly turns and rises. The shot fades into a 20th Century Fox like structure but there are considerably less searchlights and the words are replaced with "KIM LOI PRODUCTIONS". The background is also a blue starry background. The logo fades after doing a turn which also eerily resembles 20th Century Fox's turn, but faster and the opposite direction. The logo fades.

FX/SFX: The animation of the logo.

Cheesy Factor: The animation is simplistic and unoriginal, taking cues from the Alliance logo and the 20th Century Fox structure. And there's the intro of the J-pop song from before still being used.

Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo.

Availability: Scarce. Can be seen on many Videocassettes, and Video CD's by the Kim Loi Studio.
