Suntisucha Production

1st Logo

(1975-1977)

Nicknames : "The Plain 20th Century Fox Ripoff", "20th Century Suntisucha", "20th Century Thailand", "Cheesy Thai Structure"

Logo : Over a dark shadow of a city with tall skyscrapers and a dark sky, we see a tall structure of a golden rectangle, with "Vs" on top. There's various yellow searchlights on front of it. On the center there's the Thai text, and the translation, "SUNTISUCHA PRODUCTION" below.

FX/SFX : The searchlights.

Cheesy Factor : Everything about the animation; that includes the blatant and simple logo concept (in this case, they stole 20th Century Fox's structure), the subtle shakiness of the camera and the very poorly chyroned-in text. For a Thai logo of the time this is however understandable. And what does VS supposed to represent/stand for/mean?

Music/Sounds : A slow bombastic fanfare.

Availability : Rare. Spotted on various 70s Thai movies including Tang sua phan, Nak leng pa sak and Salak Jitr.

Scare Factor : Low to medium, due to the dark logo coming out of the sudden with the loud fanfare.

2nd Logo

(1980)

Logo : On a starry background, the camera moves to the right as we can see the orange planet (Mars) and the Earth moves as the camera does. The Earth keeps moving, disappearing. A two-dimensional gold triangle comes out of nowhere as the camera stops moving. The triangle spins, then it changes itself to "VS" by flashing. Electricity crackles around the logo, white ribbons fly around and they flash itselves as we now see the Thai text (สันติสุชาภาพยนตร์) and "PRODUCTIONS" in red. White ribbons are seen flying around behind the logo.

FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor : Very choppy quality and cel animation on here, but at least it has some inspiration. Nevertheless the music is a rip-off of a Hong Kong VHS company. Like the first logo, what does VS supposed to represent/stand for/mean?

Music/Sounds : Same as the Ocean Shores Video Ltd. logo, but in high-pitched.

Availability : Seen on Singh Cau Piakh.

Scare Factor : Low to medium. The choppy animation may give nostalgia to every Thai, but once they notice that is a rip-off of another logo, they will hit their heads with a block while laughing.
