Nota del autor: originalmente escrito en español, sirvase corregir las imperfecciones llamadas "Spanglish" ocasionadas por un traductor automático. El texto original no contiene fracturas idiomáticas. Una correccion particular: En Argentina se utiliza(ba) la norma PAL/N en los VHS como norma estandar. Existen otras 4 presentaciones que no estan catalogadas.
Some Background Info: In 1988, this company started distributing Spanish Hanna-Barbera films.
1st (known) Logo
(1986-1988)
Nickname: Square Letters"
TBA!
2nd Logo
(1988-1991)
Nickname: "The Flipping Computers", "LedaFilms Era"
Logo: On a black background, we see three computer-generated computers, the left one flipping horizontally, the center one flipping vertically, and the right one also flipping vertically, but reversed. A red "AVH" in a futuristic font comes from the left and flips into place, positioning itself on the computers.
FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: The flipping computers, just another example of typical 1980s animation.
Music/Sounds: An ominous-sounding synth fanfare that sounds like a bad remix of the Jeopardy! theme.
Availability: The original 1988 edition of "The Man Called Flinstone" has this logo intact, but the 1992 edition doesn't. This can usually be found on videos released by big-name companies, such as Hanna-Barbera Home Video, Warner Home Video, CIC Video (under license from Paramount), etc. (On a side note, Argentina and Uruguay are the only Spanish-speaking countries I know of [other than Spain] to use the PAL/N format-- most other Spanish-speaking countries, like Mexico, Panama, and Venezuela, use NTSC)
Scare Factor: Medium; the synth tune might be creepy to some.
2nd Logo
(1992-2000)
Nickname: "The Environment"
Logo: Superimposed over various live-action videos from San Luis, Argentina (such as a river and a canyon), we see black lines drawing in "AVH", in the same font as the previous logo, and white lines flying from all directions join together to form squares.
Variants: During the time of this logo, there were four variants used, including the river and the canyon mentioned above. A basketball field was also used, however, and I'm not sure what other background they used. (Hey Guilleo, let me [WillWill45] know if you find it!)
FX/SFX: The animation, which is simple, but decent.
Music/Sounds: Depends. They used music done (mainly) by local musicians, whether it be acoustic or synth.
Availability: See above.
Scare Factor: None.
3rd Logo
(2000-2001)
Nicknames: "AVH 2000/2001", "Cine para llevar..."
Logo: On a space background, a rocket flies towards a superimposed asteroid. The asteroid passes over a moon, and on the moon there is an astronaut holding a giant flag of Argentina. The rocket returns to earth, and a futuristic type of TV with pictures of the "Monumento a la bandera" (the monument of Argentina`s flag) and several pictures of the province of San Luis (the same images seen in the 1992 logo) suddenly comes out of the spaceship. The text on the television (in a font similar to Comic Sans) reads:
Variant: There is a variation with "2000" covering source space. This logo was introduced in June or July 2000.
FX/SFX: Great CGI. On a side note, the rocket hitting the earth looks kind of like a missile. (Kidinbed: I couldn't agree more, Guillermo.)
Music/Sounds: Theme from "The Matrix" by Marilyn Manson.
Availability: Seen on AVH videos from 2000 to 2001.
Scare Factor: None.
4th Logo
(2000-2004)
Nickname: "AVH DVD 1'', "50% opted for original, 50% opt for pirated copies or 50% opted for VHS?", "DVD of Earth"
Logo: On a space background, we see a photograph of the planet Earth, which gets divided into half an image of a DVD. Below is the AVH logo and the standard DVD Video logo next to the AVH logo. This logo was first seen on the demo's promotional VHS instructional DVD (Space Jam) and commercials in 1999, which was one year before the logo's use. (I think this was not a logo, but a "piracy detection" screen. I'd consider this some bad Defective Restrictions Management [DRM] here...)
FX/SFX: Photography, clock effects and half of a DVD. On a side note: half of the world opts for non-pirated DVDs and the other half of the world does not, according to this logo. Most pirated DVDs are identifiable because they are DVD-R's, which are usually blue or violet; and the earth is also blue, so this interpretation of the logo would make sense. Also, this is the first DVD logo from AVH. At the time this logo was introduced, the people at AVH must have thought that VHS would be more popular than DVD.
Music/Sounds: A 4-note synth tune culminating in a wind-like sound.
Availability: Seen on AVH DVDs from 2000 to 2004. Was found on the original version of Magnolia.
Scare Factor: None, it's funny, actually, because the idea of combining a photograph of Earth with a DVD is as crazy as the Paramount DVD logo.
5th Logo
(2005-2006)
Nickname: "AVH DVD 2''
Logo: On a red/black gradient BG, we see the AVH and DVD logo behind the words "Próximos estrenos".
FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: Powerpoint presentation-like graphics.
Music/Sounds: A pop tune with drum-like effects.
Availability: Seen on AVH DVDs from the time.
Scare Factor: None, this logo is boring. But it's not as boring as the next logo...(heh, heh)
6th Logo
(2006- )
Nickname: "Play", "The Play of Boredom", "This Edition Has The Worst Logo" (*), "Adobe Flash Apprentice"
Logo: On a black background; we see a new AVH logo appear letter by letter. A red circle leaves a "wake" of abstract
lines. A circle is seen next to the logo and the lines circle the logo until they reach the "V" in the AVH logo. A white light appears in the BG when the logo finishes forming.
FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: The logo's effects and lighting are not as good as other logos of the time. It seems the animation was made with Adobe Flash.
Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo.
Availability: Currently in use.
Scare Factor: A big NONE. This is one of the candidates for the worst logo ever.

Author's note: Originally written in Spanish, please correct the imperfections called "Spanglish" caused by an automatic translator. The original text does not contain language fractures. Including a correction: In Argentina it uses the standard PAL / N as in the VHS standard. There are 4 other presentations that are not listed.

The rocket returns to earth, and a futuristic type of TV with pictures of the "Monumento a la bandera" (the monument of Argentina`s flag) and several pictures of the province of San Luis (the same images seen in the 1992 logo) suddenly comes out of the spaceship. The text on the television (in a font similar to Comic Sans) reads:
"Hecho en San Luis"
which translates to "Made In San Luis". When there are no more images on the rocket's TV, 12 videocassettes appear with a transparent marbled cassette/satellite in orbit. The rocket goes straight to the satellite and a white cassette, and passes a background star that says "AVH 2000" or "AVH 2001" (the AVH logo is the same as before, but it now has gold edges and shadowed lettering). The text (in the same font as the previous text): "Cine para llevar..."
which translates to "Films for delivering...", appears. The logo shines a little.
Variant: There is a variation with "2000" covering source space. This logo was introduced in June or July 2000.
FX/SFX: Great CGI. On a side note, the rocket hitting the earth looks kind of like a missile. (Kidinbed: I couldn't agree more, Guillermo.)

He conseguido comprar semanalmente en un videoclub de liquidación títulos originales y completos en perfecto estado, me voy a dedicar a hacer un seguimiento completo a las editoras, olviden la barrera idiomática y dejen de comentar "speak in english" y presten atención lo que propongo ya que estoy invirtiendo dinero REAL para mostrarle una captura de imagen y por unos miseros 3 minutos de vídeo, cada vídeo sale $5, los DVD vírgenes $1,80 y la videocasseteras se dejaron de vender en el 2001.
En todos los folletos que guardo de Blockbuster todas las propagandas de AVH del 2008 ellos festejaban sus primeros 25 años, fue fundado en 1984/1986, ya he agregado la primera parte, ahora pido una ayuda para agregar la "1st logo", "2nd logo", etc, porque sino no puedo seguir. En el catalogo logre archivar 18 vídeos, lo he contado asi: 1: 1986?: "Square letters", la letra de AVH no era estándar, prototipo, de la película "1941". 2: 1987: N/A, no la tengo archivada 3: 1988: "Flipping Computers", mencionada como 1986, recien la vuelvo a copiar desde el master y descubro que la caja dice (ni se distingue) 1988. 4: 1989: "Square Family" (no recuerdo si 1989 o 1990), aun no la tengo, esta en mi "Most wanted", como la "Lampara del espacio" (!!!) 5: 1990: "Idem" y N/A 6: 1991: N/A 7: 1992: N/A (es distinta a la revisada aca) 8: 1993: N/A (idem) Es probable que Warner Bros obligara a AVH a festejar los 50 años de Bugs Bunny, ya que encontré unas cajas con el logo impreso. Deje de agregar info temporalmente por la espera en vano para la ayuda simple y mi interes disminuyo y me dedique a mi canal en YT, ahi pueden ver lo que voy comprando, la coleccion es exclusivamente editoras Argentinas. Saludos y espero comentarios sobre ESTO y no sobre el idioma. Esto es para compartir información no para pelear.

Ciertas anotaciones que fueron editadas y/o borradas sin aviso. Explico ciertas cosas que algún usuario elimino sin revisar o saber la historia de AVH: A pesar que el logo del 2000/2001 aparecieron meses antes del año 2000 (...) Este logotipo salio en la misma época del promocional post-dvd en el año 1999. Digamos unos 6 meses antes. Los Nicknames en realidad se llamaría asi como "descriptivo" ya que aun no he posteado y ahora no tiene sentido postearlo ya que los títulos era referente a la música/efectos especiales y la epoca donde AVH hizo una campaña promocional de Space Jam (vease lo promo post-dvd de AVH en mi canal de Youtube), este logotipo esta vinculado a cierta campaña.
Las descripciones del logotipo y la edición local representa que AVH como Gativideo subcontratan a editores locales, eso significa que si la edición original zona 1 de "Destino Final 3" es excelente, pues en argentina fue una edición espantosa (mas adelante una review), depende de que tan exitosa es el filme, "El señor de los anillos" es de la misma productora, tiene una edición de lujo, es la versión original y sale +$40 en comparación con -$14.Eliminando ciertos detalles hace que la gente crea que son ediciones originales, no es asi, hay que especificar que son versiones diferentes.
