1st Logo
(1980's)
Nicknames: "Dual-Part Fantasia", "70's ABC/NBC Bumper In Argentina"
Logo: On a black background with shooting stars coming out from the center, three blue flashes appear on the center, followed by a yellow one, which later brings out a zooming drawing of the yellow sun, which later disappears by a circle effect. The same flash/zooming sun part happens again, but when the sun fills the screen the logo freezes. The red/blue word "FANTASIA" appears in the top half, moves to the bottom half, then around the center. We then cut to a 70's American TV bumper (possibly ABC/NBC, more info shall be known about it) with the blue/yellow triangular shapes zooming out and bringing a blue wall of flashing lights, which later goes out again to form some text which is obscured by the same "FANTASIA" word. The bumper freezes. "FILMS EN VIDEO" appears below the company name. "PRESENTA" in a pink-like color grows in below these texts.
FX/SFX: Cheesy 2D animation.
Music/Sounds: A growing fanfare on the 1st half, followed by a synthesized bass theme a bit before the 2nd half comes in.
Availability: Seen on 1980's tapes in Argentina including a 1987 edited VHS of La clinica del doctor Cureta.
Editor's Note: None.
2nd Logo
(1980's)
Nickname: "Cheesy Globe Loop"
Logo: Over a static starfield (which also is part of the warning screen), a paper-cut model of a globe appears from the darkness and spins while moving further into the screen. The animation then freezes , as a white dot (supposedly intended to be a comet) shoots out into the Argentinian landmass, and the yellow computerized text "FANTASIA" with "Films en Video" underneath zooms out below. A familiar "zooming square" transition common in some 80s Argentinian home video logos appears for a second before the globe animation appears again, this time beginning with the globe fully revealed. There is a 4-color rainbow pattern shown above, and the two elements pan up which reveal another similar rainbow pattern, which stops when the company name gets centered. "PRESENTA" in shining purple zooms out into the rainbow pattern. After some seconds, the same video transition from before appears again, with the rest of the logo elements disappearing.
FX/SFX: The computerized animation over the video loop.
Music/Sounds: An heroic synth fanfare (source unknown).
Availability: TBA
Editor's Note: The animation is really similar to some other Argentine logos from the period.
