Nicknames: "The Swinging Elephant", "Thai MGM Parody", "Thai Elephant"

Logo: On a blue paper background, there is a red/blue ribbon circle. The letters "CF" in gold are seen on the blue part of the ribbons. Inside, there is a live-action capture of an elephant swinging its head on a sunny sky for about five seconds straight before it freezes. Light rays of various colors then appear spinning in behind the ribbons. The green Thai text "โคลีเซี่ยมฟิล์ม" then appears below the ribbon, before the elephant freezes. The light rays keep spinning before they stop.

Variant:
 * There is a dark background variant, most possibly due to film deterioration.
 * On Police of the Steel (aka. "ตำรวจเหล็ก") released on 1985 to 1986, there is a Techniscope version, but the blue background is darker, the sun-rays looks more brighter to the other logos, and the film quality is looks rough like “Kha Ma Kab Phra” variant, most possibly due to film deterioration. This logo is filmed from telecine, but the quality of the film is damaged during filming the movie.

FX/SFX: The live-action elephant, the light rays.

Music/Sounds: A loud stock triumphant fanfare, with the roars from the elephant. Two films in other words, “Kha Ma Kab Phra” and “ตำรวจเหล็ก” (Police of the Steel) used more furious roars than the original logo with a male announcer.

Availability: Rare. Was seen on “Phyak Yikee”, “Kha Ma Kab Phra”, and “The Mountain Lion”. It was also spotted on the trailer for “ตำรวจเหล็ก” (Police of the Steel), which can be found on YouTube.

Editor's Note: This gained infamy as one of the scariest Southeast Asian logos due to the elephant's menacing look and uncanny motions, alongside the loud fanfare.
