Changes

Key:  Additions   Deletions
Background: Avanti Ciné-Vidéo was established in 1989 in Montreal by Luc Wiseman. Until 1996, no closing logo was used.

1st Logo
(1989-December 1995)

Logo: On the end credits, we see the Avanti logo like this:
avanti
CINÉ VIDÉO
The words avanti are in lowercase and with a line above (the i has a star instead of a dot). CINÉ VIDÉO is in a Times New Roman Font with one line above and one line below and a star inbetween.
There is also a copyright stamp underneath.

Variant: In some shows, we just see the copyright stamp.

Cheesy Factor: The Avanti.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on old shows from Avanti (no longer seen now).

Scare Factor: None.

2nd Logo
(January 1996-November 2007)

Nickname: The Gold CGI Avanti

Logo: On a brown background, we see sparks rolling. Then they reveal the word AVANTi (in a Times New Roman font with the letter i in lowercase and the other letters in capitals.) A shower of light passes through the words and stops at the letter i to shine right there. The words then light up, and a line draws under it with Ciné Vidéo at the bottom (in an Arial font with a star inbetween).

Cheesy Factor: Good CGI logo.

Music/Sounds: A triumphant chord with glittering for the sparks, a 2-note piano tune for the letter i shining and a waving sound for the drawing line.

Availability: Seen on any show produced by Avanti from January 1996 to November 2007.

Scare Factor: None. This is a clean logo.

3rd Logo
(November 2007-)

Nickname: The Gold CGI Avanti II

Logo: Same as the previous logo, but with some changes: the background is now black, and we see a part of the Avanti as its zooms out into view.

Cheesy Factor: Same as before.

Music/Sounds: Same as the 2nd Logo.

Availability: Seen on new Avanti shows including the 400th Anniversary Special from Quebec City.

Scare Factor: Same as the 2nd Logo.
