Editions by Guillermo A. Martinez
Note: This text was translated from Spanish to English.
Background: Previously called "Legal Video", its children's division, called "Video Niño", distributed cartoons from "Hanna Barbera" in the mid-1980s.
Video Niño
1st (known) Logo
(1980-1986?)
Nickname: "Pixelated Carpet", "Video Niño", "Ranita"
Logo: On a black background, a green, pixelated graphic is visible from the center of the image. A metallic rectangle reveals the letters "LV" at the top ("LEGAL VIDEO SA") In a transparent square after an "explosion" (leaving trails of the logo) in the form of a green circle with the text "Video Niño"; at the top of this circle are icons representing two children.
SFX/Cheesy Factor: Early mixer effects; the logo is ugly, and the circle looks like a frog with strange eyes.
Music: New age music synchronized with the logo.
Availability: N/A; was found in a video of "El inspector Ardillas" (Sic) (Secret Squirrel).
Scare Factor: Medium to high, due to the pixelated images and music.

Gativideo
1st (known) Logo
(1986-????)
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.
SFX/Cheesy Factor: More 1980s computer animation, plus the font looks terrible...
Music: A rather dramatic fanfare, which is actually part of Aaron Copland's "Common Man's Fanfare".
Availability: This logo can be found on an old PAL VHS of a Touchstone`s "Who Framed Rogger Rabbit" and other films from Disney and 20th Century Fox.
Scare Factor: Medium; the ugly font will not sit well with people.
