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 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/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, except for the re-edition of 1992. You can find copies of those 1988 to 1990 before being a corporation. This can usually be found on VHS released by big-name companies, such as Hanna-Barbera Home Video, Warner Home Video, CIC Video (From Paramount`s licence), 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.
Varients: During the time of this logo, there were four varients 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: 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: A Space background presentation begins with a spaceship or generic rocket goesgoing on a nebulous and an "asteroid" (picture superimposed) then passes over the moon, an astronaut up with a giant flag of Argentina (also a photo). The rocket returns to earth where it isto suddenly ashow kindup ofa futuristic type of TV,TV showscontaining where pictures of the "Monumento a la bandera" (Monument to the Argentina`s flag) and several pictures of the province of San Luis (The same images of the version 1992-2000)1992-2000). aA text in a "comic" type font readreads "Hecho en San Luis" (Made in San Luis), after the step of the "TV" the rocket is ongoing, few appear12 videocassettes (is counted 12)appear with its anti-piracy system (cassette in marbled and white model) or something like a satellite in orbit but this is transparent. The rocket goes straight to the "world" and casta white white,cast, passing a background star that says "AVH" 2000"2000" or "2001" (The same logo, but now with edges like "Gold" and the letter with shadows) down (with the same source font typo) "Cine para llevar" Translated into English as "Films for delivering". It shines a little.
Variant: There is a variation of 2001 with a source spaced"2000" covering 2000,source thespace. The prototype of this separator was made in mid-2000, to be exact in June/July. (TODO: Can someone please rework the odd ncraw-like description here)
FX: Great CGI, As additional comments, then the purpose of the rocket toward the planet earth, a missile?.
Music/Sounds: Theme from "The Matrix" by Marilyn Manson.
Availability: Seen on 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?"
Logo: Under a background space and a photography of the planet Earth, is divided into a clock half an image of a DVD. Below are the AVH logo on the side and the standar DVD Video logo. This logo was seen on the demo's promotional VHS instructional DVD (Space Jam) and commercials one year before in 1999. (I think this was not a logo, but a "piracy dection" screen. I'd consider this some bad Defictive Restrictions Management here [DRM] here...)
FX: Photography, clock effects and half of a DVD. Perhaps half the world opts for the original DVD and maybe the other does not? (the pirated DVDs are identifiable because they are blue or violet). (WTH?!?!), this is the first DVD video logo from AVH, maybe the DVD had no future and people would opt for the VHS?
Music/Sounds: A 4-note synth tune culminating in a wind-like sound.
Availability: Seen on DVDs from 2000 to 2004. Was found in the original version of Magnolia.
Scare Factor: None, it´s funny the idea of combining a photograph of the planet earth with a DVD, is as crazy as the Paramount DVD logo.
5th Logo
(2005-2006)
Nickname: "AVH DVD 2''
Logo: Under a red/black gradient, we see the AVH and DVD logo appear behind the words "Próximos estrenos".
FX/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, is boring, if you thought it was bad, the next is horrible. (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 the new AVH logo appear letter by letter, looking much like b with a white spot on each one. A red circle leaves a "wake" of abstract
lines. The circle is next to the logo and the AVH continuous line halfway down, the circle has the universal "play" symbol, then this goes back a glossy white.
FX/Cheesy Factor: The effects of lighting and logo are lacking. It seems the animation was made with Adobe Flash.
Music/Sounds: Same as the fifth 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.
