1st Logo (2000's)


Nickname "Skyscraper at Night Under Ca Dao Text on River"

Logo: We see a skyscraper and a bridge at night somewhere from San Francisco or Houston and the text says "CA DAO" is under on river. This texts which fly up in 3D effects while "PRODUCTION" with a long oval shaped spin and lands on bottom of "CA DAO" then a broken glass transition which transported into black screen at the end.

FX/SFX: 3D animation on text and oval shaped which cause to spinning around, a weird sound that reminds me of 3D Pinball Space Cadet when the game started.

Music/Sounds: The sounds was used from 3D Pinball Space Cadet from Microsoft Windows.

Availability: Only be seen on some Vietnamese documentaries VHS releases.

Editor's Note: There's a yellow flower background right after the glass broken transitions during a preview at beginning of tape 1 or tape 2 from Vietnamese documentaries VHS. You can see it here: https://archive.org/details/tac-pham-nghe-thuat-ca-dao-vina-video
