Kkachibang

(1990s)

Nicknames: "The Smiling Moon", "The Kid in a Cheesy Logo"

Logo: In a starfield, some stars shape a crescent moon with a smile, showing that said moon is glittery, while a group of bubbles come from the right of the screen. The camera later pans away from the moon. We then fade to a golden ring with leaves underneath, as a woman in a white dress comes from inside the ring. Then, a cartoon image of a boy on a green background with a smile, red hat, and thick eyebrows appears inside the golden ring. One Hangul text, which is in white, is shown above the ring, while orange Hangul text rises a bit from the extreme bottom.

FX/SFX: A combination of live-action models with 2D computer animation.

Music/Sounds: A 3-note majestic fanfare, which are actually, the beginning of "Leichte Kavallerie: Ouverture" composed by Franz von Suppé.

Music/Sounds Trivia: The music was also used in other Korean logos, like a stock tune.

Availability: Extremely rare. Likely seen on Korean tapes of children's content.

Legacy: While it may seem like a decent effort, the scenes with the moon and ring are actually stolen from a 1975 7-Up commercial entitled "Uncola". Some think the boy at the end looks cute, though.
