Kim Lợi Productions

1st Logo (1990's)
Nickname: "Brick Wall"

Logo: We fade in to see, on a red brick background, the emerald-colored texts "Kim Lợi Studio" and "T.H production" come out from the sides of the screens and roll out. White Vietnamese text comes up from the bottom of the screen.

FX/SFX: Simple text and fading animations.

Music/Sounds: An excerpt from "Tinh Nghe Sy" by Diva Viet, which was distributed by the company.

Availability: Seen on at least one release, which is "Những tình khúc vượt thời gian 01 - Biệt ly"".

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1990's)
Nickname: "Gray Ripple"

Logo: On a grey static picture of a water ripple, we see the emerald-colored text "Kim Lợi" in the top-right corner of the screen and "Production" in the right-center of the screen.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: Same as 1st logo.

Availability: Seen on at least one production, which is "Những tình khúc vượt thời gian 02 - Một thuở yêu đàn".

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (1999-2002)
Nickname: Starfield

Logo: On a starfield, we see the text "Kim Lợi Production", in emerald, rapidly zoom in with a trail-effect residue. The text zooms in and we see the entire company name sweeping across the screen. The text then zooms out into the starfield with a trail effect.

FX/SFX: Scanimate-like effects.

Music/Sounds: A heavenly crystal-like tune that sounds like the beginning of the opening theme of a breakfast television programme or an anime opening - the song is actually called "I Want to Walk With You" by Japanese musician Seishiro Kusunose, which loops jarringly at the middle of the logo.

Availability: Rare. Can be seen on many Videocassettes, and VCD's by the Kim Lợi Studio Company.

Editor's Note: Barely any effort put into this, making it look more like it came out in the late 70's. Though it still manages to look more professional than its follow-up.

4th Logo (2000-2002)
Logo: On a turquoise background, we see An orange translucent disc with "KL" and the text KIM LOI, INC. in yellow sliding in.

FX/SFX: 3D animation.

Music/Sounds: TBA

Availability: Apparently can be seen on music VHS and DVDs released by Kim Loi.

Editor's Note: At least this has more originality than the previous logos.

5th Logo (2002-2010)


Nicknames: "The Alliance/20th Century Fox Rip-Off", "20th Century Alliance (in Vietnam)"

Logo: We fade into a purple and black background with a group of orange translucent crystals. The camera pans around the crystals, and with a jarring cut, goes to a slightly different angle. An orange translucent disc with "KL" carved on it slowly turns and rises. The shot fades into a 20th Century Fox-like structure but there are considerably less searchlights and the words are replaced with "KIM LOI PRODUCTIONS". The background is also a blue starry background. The logo fades after doing a turn which also eerily resembles 20th Century Fox's turn, but faster and the opposite direction. The logo fades.

FX/SFX: The animation of the logo.

Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo.

Availability: Scarce. Can be seen on many Videocassettes, and Video CD's by the Kim Loi Studio.

Editor's Note: The animation is simplistic and unoriginal, taking cues from the Alliance logo and the 20th Century Fox structure.

6th Logo (2011-present)


Logo: On a shining gold background, TBA.

FX/SFX: 3D animation.

Music/Sounds: TBA

Availability: Apparently can be seen on music DVDs released by Kim Loi, alongside on its official YouTube channel, KIM LỢI VN.

Editor's Note: At least this has more originality than the previous logos.
