Background

As its name suggests, Lao Department of Cinema is the department of cinema of the Lao government, which is part of the Ministry of Culture. Until 1989, the department had a monopoly on film production. The first feature-length film produced after the monarchy was abolished is Gun Voice from the Plain of Jars, directed by Somchith Pholsena in 1983, but its release was prevented by censorship.

Logo (1976)

Visuals: On an August First-like blue space background, the coat of arms of Laos used from 1975 to 1992 is shown. The coat of arms consists of two crescent-shaped stalks of fully ripened rice at both sides and red ribbons bearing the inscription "Peace, Independence, Democracy" ("ສັນຕິພາບ ເອກະລາດ ປະຊາທິປະໄຕ") on the left, and "Unity and Prosperity" ("ເອກະພາບ ວັດຖະນາຖາວອນ") on the right, and finally, the middle ribbon containing Laos' full name: "Lao People's Democratic Republic" ("ສາທາລະນະລັດ ປະຊາທິປະໄຕ ປະຊາຊົນລາວ"). Over the middle ribbon, a cog wheel is seen. Inside of the whole circle, there is depicted a paddy field, a forest, and a hydroelectric dam. On top of the scenery, the hammer and sickle, with a 3D-like red star over it, can be seen. The company name doesn't appear.

Technique: Motion-control animation and live-action.

Audio: A proud-sounding bombastic French-like orchestral fanfare.

Availability: The logo was spotted exclusively in Ladu Ban Haim, translating to New Spring.

-'''Logo:''' On an August First-like blue space background, we see a 3D-looking red star. Under the red star, we see a hammer and a sickle, used as the Soviet symbol. Below them, we see the 1975-1991 version of the emblem of Laos. A dam is pictured which as a symbol of power generation at the reservoir Nam Ngun, an asphalt street is also pictured, as well as a stylized watered field. In the lower part is a section of a gear wheel. The inscription on the left reads "Peace, Independence, Democracy" (ສັນຕິພາບ ເອກະລາດ ປະຊາທິປະໄຕ) and on the right, "Unity and Prosperity" (ເອກະພາບ ວັດຖະນາຖາວອນ). And finally, we see the name of the country in Lao (ສາທາລະນະລັດ ປະຊາທິປະໄຕ ປະຊາຊົນລາວ). We cut to the footage videos of sea. After the 4th scene of the sea, we cut to the opening scene.
