Viva Films

The 1990 logo for Viva Films that was known as the "3D Golden VIVA" and "3D VIVA of Doom", among some others.

Logos[]

1st logo (1981-1984)[]

On a Persian red background, a light gold triangle zooms out, stops for a moment to emit four triangle-shaped waves, then abruptly appears further zoomed out. The triangle moves left as another slides out from behind it and moves to the right a bit. A tall rectangle and an inverted triangle slide in from the top and bottom of the screen, respectively, and then a faint flash occurs, creating slanted lines running in from the left sides of each triangle, and all the way through the rectangle; the shapes now resemble the word "VIVA". Another faint flash creates the word "FILMS" in a slab serif font of the same color as the shapes.

Variants[]

There is a short version, which starts on the part where the VIVA text flashes. This is seen on P.S. I Love You, the company's first film.
On Cross My Heart, an In-credit title card was used on the opening theme of the movie.

2nd logo (1984-1989)[]

On a black background, two outlined white triangles (one upside down) appear zooming to us and filling with a red color, making the outline disappear. These triangles zoom out. Then a series of outlined triangles appear and black lines slide up to cover up the right side-up triangle, top corners and the middle vertical line of the upside-down triangle. The animation stops, and the I from the VIVA logo falls down. The now-red triangles from the beginning of the logo zoom in, and the other triangles disappear. Inside the triangles, the V's and A vertically wipe and form. The triangles zoom in even more, filling the background with the red color, and leaving the finished logo. "FILMS" fades in below. The finished version is a little bit bigger than the 1st logo.

3rd logo (1989-1990)[]

We start with a black background and a yellow sunburst forming yellow words "VIVA" in 3D. As the sunburst fades out, the "VIVA" zooms in. When the zooming stops, we fade to a sky blue background with moving white searchlights in them. After that, the word "FILMS" in white flash in under the "VIVA."

4th logo (1991-2003)[]

We see a gold screen. Then, four blue laser-like lines shoot from the left of it, and it starts rotating away, revealing that it's actually the "V" from the VIVA logo. The large "V" then zooms away as the laser coming from bottom-left corner and breaking three-equally sized parts from it and settle themselves next to the "V". These parts reveal themselves to be the rest of the letters of the logo "IVA", thus the words form the word "VIVA". Then, two long horizontal gold lines shoot out from below and the gold, italicized word "FILMS" appears sandwiched in-between. This all happens on a black/cadet gradient background.

Variants[]

There were 2 redone variants which were from 1993-2003 and early 2003. The only large differences are the color scheme for the letters and background and logo size. The 1993 variant got a brighter gold color variant for the letters, which was made even brighter in the 2003 variant to the point the letters looked more bronze than gold as a result. The 1993 variant also had a black/blue gradient background, and the 2003 variant got a black/medium Persian blue gradient background and a slightly larger logo.
On Urban Rangers, the logo is more darker.
On Pacifico Guevarra - Dillinger Ng Dose Pares and Pangako ng kahapon, the logo's even more darker, making the background almost black.
On Row 4 and Kiss Mo' Ko, the logo is moved down.
On Noel Juico - Batang Kriminal, the logo has a yellow tint.
On Bugbog Sarado, the logo fades to white instead of black at the end.

5th logo (2003-2010)[]

On a moving space background we see an explosion which forms a filmstrip in the shape of a circle. The Earth flies through it. An orange triangle flies towards the left as the earth lands on the triangle. A filmstrip then curves around the earth forming a comet shape. The blue text "VIVA" flies in next to the triangle.

Variants[]

A short version of this also exists. This can be found on Till I Met You.
Sometimes, the logo appears slightly red.

6th logo (2010-2015)[]

A light flare on the left zooms towards us in the dark. A zig-zag shape with red, pink, green, yellow and blue colors rotates upwards towards the middle. When it does we see the blue text "VIVA FILMS" beneath the shape. A spotlight forms beneath the logo.

Variant[]

Warped and short versions of the logo exist.
Usually, the logo was cut off a little bit.
On Girl Boy Bakla Tomboy and Bekikang Ang Nanay Kong Beki, it appears with a slight brown tint.
Before Hitman, a still version was used.

7th logo (2015-2018)[]

On a black background, we see the same zig-zag shape from before spinning out in the screen as it pans upward and reveals the bottom colors. A lens flare briefly appears during the action. Once the zigzag is fully revealed, it changes from the bottom view as it centers. When it's settled, a light shines briefly in the logo and the words "VIVA" and "films" fade in and zoom out below.
