The logo can be seen here.

CAUTION: Do not call the phone numbers listed on the logo. The numbers are no longer in service.

Nicknames: "RFP II", "Excited African VJ's Other Over Low-Budget Logo"

Logo: We see the "RFP" from the 1st logo along with the company's phone number above. The company name then appears below in blue. The letters then zoom one by one quickly for a few seconds, then again (you can also see the phone number zoom once). The phone number and company name wipes out, as the rest of the trailer starts to play.

FX/SFX: The zooming.

Music/Sounds: Actually part of the trailer, it consists of two African VJ's saying stuff along with the company's name.

Availability: Seen on the trailers of Who Killed Captain Alex and the sequel of Tebaatusasula, Tebaatusasula II (both films were lost during process, thus making both of them really hard to find).

Editor's Note: This logo actually looks more like a PowerPoint project or a low-budget video editor intro more than an actual well-animated logo, but again, this is expected from Africa due to them being not much of a rich nation.

Ramon Film Productions

1st Logo (January 30, 2010)


Visuals: On a black background, we see, below white text listing the company's phone number, the logo for Ramon Film Productions, which is a seafoam green combination of the letters "R", "P" and "F". After approximately five seconds, blue text reading "RAMON FILM PRODUCTIONS" appears below the logo before the letters of the text quickly enlarge and shrink one-by-one, this repeating once.

Technique: Flash animation.

Audio: The trailer's audio. For the scene with the logo, a suspenseful music piece accompanied by the narration of two video jokers, one of which sounds high-pitched.

Availability: Seen on the trailer for Who Killed Captain Alex?.

2nd Logo (March 1, 2010, September 25, 2016)


Visuals: On a dark blue background with a light blue sunburst at the top right, we see dozens of glass pieces fly and merge into the company's logo, with "RP" in a tube missing a portion of its lower right side and "RAMON FILM PRODUCTIONS" underneath the "P" in the tube shape. This happens while many smaller cube pieces in white, light blue, and light red fly across the formation as well as light streaks in the same color palette as the small cubes flashing as the glass pieces merge into the logo. Multiple shots of this formation are also shown, showing two sunbursts from both sides adjacent to the logo. After the formation is complete, another logo flies into the shot. Here, we see "RPF" merged together and "RAMON FILM PRODUCTIONS" underneath as the bottom letters change in size, which repeats for the rest of the logo. Meanwhile in the background, the whole shot zooms in and dips to black, making the company's phone number to slide in from the left and underneath the company's name. Suddenly, the logo drastically and choppily slows down while white flashes appear, eventually transitioning the logo to the opening credits.

Technique: CGI and Flash animation.

Audio: Forming sounds are heard while VJ Emmie says "Yes yes, OK. This is VJ Emmie, live in the studios from Wakaliwood, Uganda. Get ready. Ramon Film Productions. Yah, yah, yah, OK. Tighten your seatbelts."

Availability: Seen on Who Killed Captain Alex and Bad Black. The original version of Who Killed Captain Alex was lost due to a power outage, so the only way to watch it nowadays is the "VJ" (video joker) version of the film, which has a male commentator named Emmie commenting over the film, translating words into English, and making random jokes.
