Simony Productions

Logo (2000s)


Visuals: Against an image of a evening set at a lake with mountains (which is actually "Sunset", a sample picture from Windows XP), a big metal object, which appears to have various extended line shapes of different curves and forms with a smiling face in the middle, fades in and slides upwards while tilting. As the movement occurs, the same object drops a droplet of, what seems to be, wet metal. The droplet stays in place after said droplet stretches and another droplet drops below it. The droplet expands into a thin stick and spins as the stick fades out, as a metal plate vertically stretches to reveal itself, containing the text "SIMONY". Afterwards, the plate flies at different directions and horizontally stretches, and the stick can be seen inside of the letters making up the text. The metal plate finally settles onto the center, and the newly formed text "SIMONY" exits the plate and zooms in. As this happens, the text "PRODUCTIONS" below the two zooms in and spins all over the bottom side. The logo concludes with the text pausing the movement.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: "Mellow Rise" from the Network Music ShockWave library, two laser zaps, a whoosh sound, an unidentified synth sound effect from the ShockWave library, another whoosh sound, "Tonal Cascade" from the ShockWave library accompanied by a cymbal hit, another unidentified ShockWave synth sound effect, a repeat of "Tonal Cascade" coupled with a timpani beat, and "InfoNet Sting" (once again from the ShockWave library), which is coupled with an explosion sound and a dramatic orchestra hit.

Audio Trivia: Most of the ShockWave sounds used here were also used for other Nigerian logos, notably the Somaco International and Valseco ones.

Availability: The logo was shown in Public Lady.
