Background: Kim Lợi Production is a music recording studio in Ho Chi Minh City founded in the early 1990s. It was the earliest in Vietnam and suffered pressure from the influx of overseas music programs.


1st Logo

3rd Logo
(1999-2000s)

Kim Lợi Production Starfield LogoNickname: 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: The trails, and Scanimate-like effects.

Music/Sounds: A heavenly crystal-like pop tune, which is taken from the opening of "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwKtBuox538" target="_self">I Want to Walk With You</a>" by Seishiro Kusunose.
The music loops jarringly at the middle of the logo.

Availability: Rare. Can be seen on many videocassettes and VCDs from the company.

Editor's Note: None.



4th Logo
(2000s-)

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 crystals moving, the disc flying, the structure turning.

Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo.

Availability: Can be seen on VCDs from the company.


Editor's Note: The logo suffers from obvious resemblances to other logos (including the 1991 Alliance logo) which do not live up perfectly to the improved 3D animation portrayed here.
