1st Logo
(Early 1980's)

Nicknames: "B.R.B. 80's Globe", "Sparkling Dove".

Logo: Against a black BG, we see a sparkling gold dove flying away, leaving behind a rainbow trail. The dove swirls off into the distance, causing the rainbow to engulf the entire screen. Then, there is across-fade to a screen full of twinkling stars, and an Earth globe, which is slowly rotating to the right, gradually fades into view. As the stars disappear, a small star shines onto the country of Spain (B.R.B.'s country of origin). Shortly after, it cuts to a screen saying:


The letters in "BRB" are composed of abstract shapes, have a white and black outline, and are colored red, yellow, and green, respectively.

FX/Cheesy Factor: All the effects in this logo, which are composed of 2D animation. Also, the logo itself is just weird.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Nearly extinct; can be found on ultra-rare VHS tapes of Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds, among other BRB cartoons.

Scare Factor: None; you'll probably just be put off by how odd it is.



2nd Logo
(1980s)

Nickname: "B.R.B. 80's globe II", "Globe and Comets"

Logo: Against a space background, an Earth globe rotates right like in the previous logo. In front of it we see BRB logo with the text:


Then a white comet across the logo diagonally from right to left, and once it has almost disappeared, another one moves across, diagonally too, in the opposite direction. This one was the logo seen in the original Spanish broadcasts of David the Gnome.

Logo Variants : This logo had variants for almost very series produced by the company: they showed differences such as more and less comets moving across the globe, a different text or different music:

• La Llamada de los Gnomos: Instead of "BRB Presenta" we read this letters in white:

• Bobobobs: Instead of "BRB presenta", we see the logo of Catalan television TV3 (as seen on NBC's Night Justice) chyroned in front of the globe and the word "P R E S E N T A" in white.
• Around the World with Willy Fog: Also known as the "They broke my camera!" variant, this logo features an extended version of the logo. Once the two comets have moved across the earth, "BRB" and the text "BRB Internacional S.A. presenta" disappears as a third comet this time moving rectilinearly from right to left follows. Then, the logo of the series appears in front of the globe (in Spanish) as the sequence of diagonal comets appears again, but moving faster. Finally, the third comet moves to the camera and engulfs the entire screen. Finally we see the globe for five seconds more with some more text reading: "BASADA EN LA OBRA DE JULIO VERNE "LA VUELTA AL MUNDO EN 80 DÍAS".

FX/Cheesy Factor: The animation looks a bit cheap, but it's pretty good compared with many other logos.

Music/Sounds: As stated before, it depends on the series:

• David the Gnome, La llamada de los Gnomos, and Las 1001 Américas: a synth theme, which is the intro of the David the Gnome's theme song, composed by folk-rock singer Hilario Camacho.
• Around the World in 80 Days: A bombastic, ominous synth tune.
• Bobobobs: A dramatic orchestral tune.

Availability: BRB tends to replace its old logos with the CGI one in European DVD prints, so expect to find it only on old VHS and TV broadcasts (for instance, Bobobobs still retained its logo intact when it was recently re-aired).

Scare Factor: Medium; the cheapness of the logo, combined with almost all the tunes described above create a really unpleasant sensation the first time you see it. However, we have very fond memories of this logo in Spain, and moreover this one is far better than its successors.



3rd Logo
(1994-2000's)

Nickname: "B.R.B. 90's globe"

Logo: Against a black background, we see a cartoon animated globe rotating. The BRB logo and the words "BRB INTERNACIONAL S.A." are on the globe. Then, 2 comets fly around the globe.

FX: The globe spinning, and the comet.

Cheesy Factor: The rotating globe seems cheesy.

Music/Sounds: A bombastic synthesized brass fanfare with a futuristic whooshing sound as the comet flies past. The second half of the fanfare is played sometimes by the Antena 3 Televisión logo.

Availability: Can be seen on episodes of "Clever & Smart".

Scare factor: Low.



4th Logo
(2000's)

Nickname: "B.R.B. 2000's Globe".

Logo: Against a black BG, we see an Earth globe, which is rotating counterclockwise at a fast rate. The BRB logo from before flies in from the center of the screen. It has the words "B.R.B. INTERNACIONAL" below it, written in white. They fly around the globe counterclockwise and stop in the center of the screen in front of it. Afterwards, the word "Presents", written in a script font, fades in below, and a comet slowly flies around the globe clockwise. Then, the globe stops spinning and zooms in toward Spain.

FX: The globe spinning, the words flying in, and the comet, all of which seem like a knockoff of Universal's logo from 1991.

Cheesy Factor: The CGI, while nice-looking, doesn't look as good as other logos of its time. B.R.B. seemed more concerned with the cartoons they distributed rather than creating a beautiful logo.

Music/Sounds: A bombastic synthesized brass fanfare with a futuristic whooshing sound as the comet flies past.

Availability: Rare; can be found on David the Gnome DVD's in Europe. This logo is not present ofon the North American DVD's.

Scare Factor: Low to medium; some may be freaked out by the bombastic fanfare and the comet sound.
