Preah Vihear Productions

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum




1st Logo (1994-1996)


Visuals: The logo starts with a static screen, consisting of colored bars. Then a triangle fills up the screen with a space background environment. After a few seconds, a drawing of the Preah Vihear temple (in Cambodia) fades in. After the drawing is completely shown, green text wipes in, which says the following:

PREAH VIHEAR VIDEO CO
ព្រះវិហារភាពយន្ត

Finally, after a few seconds, the screen gets completely cropped out and replaced with an orange background.

Technique: Production switcher effects.

Audio: Same as the jingle from Tohokushinsha Home Video, followed by a bombastic and a trumpet theme, in that order.

Availability: Seen on រឿងប្រុសដែលខ្ញុំស្រឡាញ់ (The boy I love in English) and Tngai Na Oun Vil Vinh.

2nd Logo (1998-2001)



Visuals: There is a blue background and a half covered by water. A VCD player then appears from underwater and rises up, and it's later revealed that a hand is holding it. The camera gets far from the VCD player. The VCD player's tray ejects, a blue VCD then flies in and places itself on the tray. The VCD player then starts to read the disc. A flash occurs, leaving another view of the VCD player as the Khmer text zooms in. A metallic drawing of a temple on a hill appears and moves above the Khmer text. Finally, lights appear, forming part-by-part the text

Preah Vihear
Productions

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A high-pitched ascending sound that sounds like an airplane, which is followed by a couple of booming whoosh sounds.

Availability: The source of the logo has yet to be known, as the films this logo was featured in were unspecified. The logo can possibly be seen on videoke VCDs in Cambodia that have the company print on the VCD. [Examples?]

3rd Logo (2001-2003)


Visuals: On a black background, a blue box with a pink outline containing a model of the Preah Vihear temple zooms in. The text "ផលិតកម្ម" and "ព្រះវិហារ", both in white with a black and yellow outline, slides in from the left and right respectively. Underneath the Khmer text is the English translation in black with a white and yellow stroke that flips into the frame. Two cuts of "VCD" in yellow with a red stroke slides in from both sides, whereas "KARAOKE" in red with a white stroke flips from the left. Lastly, "VOL. 1" in white with a blue stroke slides in from the bottom.

Technique: 2D computer animation mixed with computer effects.

Audio: Soft pop music, which usually sound like instrumentals from many Southeast Asian karaoke videos.

Availability: Seen on VCD KARAOKE VOL. 01.

4th Logo (2003-2008)


Visuals: On a globe background, the same Preah Vihear model from the previous logo zooms in. The company's logo in Khmer in white with a red stroke fades and flips in while the temple is zooming in. Once done zooming in, the company's name in English in white with a purple stroke zooms in next, with more Khmer text and the copyright information in white with a blue stroke fading in at the bottom.

Variant: On VCD KARAOKE tapes, the same text and animation from the previous logo containing the name of the tape would play in place of the copyright info and bottom Khmer text. This time, however, "VCD" now flips to the right and the stroke for the volume number is thicker.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: Same as before.

Availability: Once again, seen on VCD KARAOKE tapes such as VOL. 30.
