Background
Golden Path Entertainment is a now-famous Hmong company founded by Moua Lee (Muas Lis) around 1999. It does dubs before moving to make their own movie, most of which are minor success. Their partially major success Niam Nkaug Zuaj Paj thiab Txiv Nruag Ntsuag spawned several sequels before ending with the forth part.
1st Logo (2000-2003?)
.png)
Logo: Below the sky blue mountain is clouds forming the company name while the orange sun rises from behind the mountain. After 5 seconds, the fog puffs up the name "GOLDEN PATH ENTERTAINMENT"below the logo. The sun still rises until it reaches to almost revealing the sun.
Technique: The sunrise and cloud are live action, with the name blurring in.
Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the movie.
Availability: Uncommon. Although it can be spotted online on Nkauj Hli Txoj Hmoo.
2nd Logo (2003?-)
.png)
Logo: The same sun rises from before plays on a more realistic moving clouds before fading to the clip-art (which is just the top half off from the print logo). The name blurs before "ENTERTAINMENT" zooms out and the bars forms from the center. The bar shines before fading out.
Variant: On Niam Nkaug Zuaj thiab Txiv Nruag Ntsuag, the shining is placed on the name instead on the bar. One such occasion has the logo fading to white; this is used on one music video compilations related to the said movie.
Technique: Live action footage again. The name animationand the transmogrification of the logo. Not as good as All Pro Production, but still good for the time.
Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the movie. Very rarely do that have a deep drone synth similar to Turner Home Entertainment music, but more deeper and without the second drone.
Availability: Current and very common. Spotted online on Yob Nraug Ntsuag, Niam Nkaug Zuaj Paj & Txiv Nruag Ntsuag, and Hlub Zaum Ob. The music variant can be found on music videos compilations, but they're hard to come by.
Legacy: It's popular for native Hmong, but it can surprise a few people who expects the first logo to show up. The music variant may surprise those unexpected audience, but the music is not that bad.
