1st Logo (1990s-2000s)
Logo: Unknown

Technique: None, unless you count the slow fading transitions.

Music/Sounds: A mellow theme with drums and synthesizers at the start, followed by a 4-note theme with female vocals singing the company name, then the male announcer "Kumyoung" is heard.

Music/Sounds Variants: In some cases a news-style MIDI fanfare is heard.

Availability: Seen on several older Kumyoung machines from the late 1990s to early 2000s.

2nd Logo (2000s)
Logo: A yellow light shines in over a black background, while the transparent letters "KY" shoot and spin out into the center as the light spreads out. The "KY" shines and darkens as the light also dims, leaving the border, while the inside turns red and the text "Kumyoung" in gray 3D letters spreads out and spins into view. The background turns white, before the logo fades out completely.

Technique: The lights, the 3D letters and fading effects.

Music/Sounds: Three synthesized brass notes with whooshing sounds when the letters appear. A keyboard glissando when the text settles in, with the male announcer saying "The sound of innovation, Kumyoung" with the synth note being held. Other sounds according to the actions are heard. At the end, a crescending note with two drum hits.

Availability: Seen when turning on Kumyoung machines from the 2000s.
