5th Logo (2016-)
![](/w/thumb.php?f=VVS_Films_3.png&width=350)
Logo: We start off with a starry night sky. We zoom down to reveal some clouds and then an amusement park, filled with tons of attractions and trees. We then see a red rollercoaster with yellow lights. The rollercoaster then dips down and up to the starry night sky. We then take a dip down again and suddenly zoom out to reveal children riding on the coaster. We zoom through some chains from a swing ride, then move to the humps from the same rollercoaster with a ferris wheel next to it. A light then highlights the dips and turns into a stylized "VA" symbol with "VVS FILMS" below while the background fades to black.
FX/SFX: Spectacular CGI animation.
Music/Sounds: An orchestral fanfare with sounds of the rollercoaster, children screaming and pixie dust sounds towards the end.
Availability: Current, but with the 6th logo's debut it may not last. Seen on Videoville Showtime's current releases.
6th Logo (August 19, 2022-)
-
The boardwalk
-
The final result
Logo: We see a waterside boardwalk amusement park with many rides, including from left to right a swing ride, the same rollercoaster as before, a ferris wheel, and a drop tower. We zoom out slowly as the rollercoaster makes its way up the hill. When it reaches the top, it shoots down quickly, as it turns into a streak of white light and the background turns black. The same "V" symbol as before is formed by the streaks, as the text "VVS FILMS" appears below. The logo zooms out slightly.
FX/SFX: Great CGI!
Music/Sounds: A majestic reorchestrated version of the last 3 notes of the previous theme.
Availability: Brand new. Debuted on Canadian prints of Orphan: First Kill, and will likely appear on more films in the future.
