_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Gativideo / Videoman Internacional
1st (known) Logo
(1987-1988?)
Nickname: "Thunderbolts of doom", "Video of horror", "Road to terror", "Trip to the sun and hell", "Quiet and creepy music"
Logo: Strange and unfamiliar logo where you see the prototype of Gativideo´s logo under the name of VideoMan Internacional (International). Con un fondo negro, aparece una especie de sol (A lo Schick Sun), un camino blanco se convierte en un camino realizado por computadora con lineas verdes y negras (parecen graficos de Commodore 64), el logotipo consiste en un rectangulo con el nombre "VideoMan Internacional" con efectos flipping, acercandose hacia el publico mientras el piso se "mueve" constantemente de manera lenta, un logotipo repetido de Videoman esta duplicado abajo con un cromakey mal realizado. El logo se acerca lentamente y con sincronia con la musica aparecen tres rayos poco convincentes incluyendo el sonido de stock, el logo para y aparece el logotipo prototipo de Gativideo con una fuente diferente en la parte de abajo, con cromakey. Este logo aparece impreso en la carcaza del video.
FX/Cheesy Factor: Resumiendo en tres lineas para ser corto, el logo es extraño, la musica y el efecto del piso, los rayos y el cromakey. Mucha animacion para una presentacion sin sentido, no se entiende el detalle de los rayos.
Music/Sounds: Una musica "futurista" diferente a la de LegalVideo esta en sincronia con la imagen, una mezcla de Vangelis con LSD (!), tres sonidos de rayos de stock.
Availability: Extinct, found in the edition of the film by Roger Corman Munchies released in 1987.
Scare Factor: Altisimo, bordeando a la pesadilla, el significado del sol, el camino y los rayos, el cromakey y el logo prototipo es algo impensado para el coleccionista y autor de este segmento, cuando buscaba "la lampara en el espacio" encontre esta presentacion. Una experiencia escalofriante. /
2nd (known) Logo
(1990-2003)
Nickname: "The Milky Way"
Logo: On a background of the Milky Way, we see the metallic text "GATIVIDEO", in a font similar to the FHE '82 logo, flying
all over the screen, leaving a trail of sparkles. When it stops in the center, sparkles can be seen.
FX/Cheesy Factor: More 1980's computer animation, plus the font looks "cheap"...
Music/Sounds: A rather dramatic fanfare, which is actually part of Aaron Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man".
Availability: This logo can be found on old Argentine PAL/N VHSs like Touchstone`s "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", the original (and only) edition of "Song of the South" and other films from Disney and 20th Century Fox like "Home Alone" series, "Die Hard" and "Predator 2" (the 1st is edited with the Legalvideo CBS-FOX Brand licence). This is one of the most memorable logos and accessible to the public, ridiculously people "cry" with emotion (not literally) by the music (video comments on the channel of Guillermo A. Martinez on Youtube).
Scare Factor: Medium; the cheap font will not sit well with people.
3rd (known) Logo
(2003-2009)
Nickname: "Gativideo DVD"
Logo: Against a space BG with planets, we see the Gativideo logo from before, only in 3D, zoom out and stop to face us. Then, the DVD logo, also in 3D, zooms and flips out below it. A lens flare shines on the DVD logo.
FX/Cheesy Factor: A remake of the original, only on cheap CGI and sound effects.
Music/Sounds: Aaron Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man" yet again, complete with "zoom" like effects.
Availability:
Scare Factor: None.

High, along with the nightmare, the meaning of the sun, the road and lightning, and prototype of the logo and cromakey is unthinkable for the collector and the author of this segment, while looking for "the lamp in space" (1989?) I found this presentation. A chilling experience.

This was the last logo before closing because of piracy. Do not confuse the original editions with the original Menu and credits, Gativideo re-edit the DVD when it comes not very successful movies. Found on Argentine releases of "Nightmare on Elm Street" (New Line Cinema) collection (2003) and the "CSI Miami" series (2004), This logo is included in the local version of a original movies and series from American and Canadian films, the content of a film is different in the zone 1 to zone 4 and is maimed to have space for a DVD-5 and fullscreen, which also includes notes of authorship and design, while a original disc includes the original credit of the production studio and distributors, the extras and the original aspect ratio are included in full. In Argentina since 1998 using the NTSC standard for DVD and satellite (DirecTV and the like) since December of that year. VHS have not been published since 2003. (Uuh, say what?!?!)
Scare Factor: None.

This font in the 1986 Gativideo logo looks horrible! Scary! *screams like the Gladden Entertainment Corporation logo from 20th Century Fox's "Weekend at Bernie's"* D:
