Video Arte Do Brasil

1st Logo
(1985-1988)

Logo: On a segmented blue background that quickly turns grey, 2 pyramids with a diagonal cut in them, one of which is upside down, fly around, each with a gold and red side. The pyramids then rest in the center of the screen, with the upside down one being gold and the other red, as "VIDEO ARTE" from the left and "DO BRASIL" from the right respectively slide in between the logo, each with a drop shadow.

FX/SFX: The background changing, the pyramids, the text sliding in. All primitive 80's animation.

Music/Sounds: A buzz is heard before a laser sound ends it.

Availability: Ultra rare, seen on old releases from them.

Editor's Note: None.
2nd Logo
(1989-1995)

Logo: On a space background with a nebula in the center and star that are being pulled towards it, a gold triangle spins around. It then gets a section cut out, forming a shape similar to the pyramid from before as the section flies away. Another laser cuts a section and the triangle splits in two. Then, the clone of the triangle turns red and rotate to form the logo from before, as the background turns black and "VIDEO ARTE DO BRASIL" zooms out to under it.

FX/SFX: The triangles cutting.

Music/Sounds: A synth fanfare which has 2 swooshes for the lasers.

Availability: Same as before.

Editor's Note: None.



Video Company

(1992-1995)

Logo: On a silky white background, 4 swirls spin and zoom out. They then turn 2D and flip up as a red ball flies into the center of it as "VIDEO COMPANY" zooms out. The former is small and spaced out to fit the latter word, which is bold.
FX/SFX: The logo forming

Music/Sounds: A rising synth, leading to a bombastic finish.

Availability: Seen on the Brazilian VHS release of Mikey.

Editor's Note: None.



PlayArte

1st Logo
(1995-2006)

Logo: On a space background, 2 golden film-reels are seen spinning with film being run over odd bumps. The camera then flies around to these bumps to reveal a dark version of the PlayArte logo fading in, which is "Play\rte" in a abstract font and the "yA" being connected together. As it faces the camera, the everything fades out except for the logo, which is now brighter, has a trail behind it, and has a line below it. "HOME VIDEO" or "PICTURES" can be seen below it.

FX/SFX: The reels unspooling, the camera rotating, the logo forming. Decent animation for the time.

Music/Sounds: A fanfare that starts out ominous, yet playful, then turns proud and bombastic as the logo finishes.

Availability: Seen on releases from the company.

Editor's Note: None.



2nd Logo
(2006-2013)

Logo: An remake of the last logo. We begin from inside a film reel in space. The film reel starts to unspool as we pan to a side view of the reel, then over to the right, to see the unspooled film creating the shape of the PlayArte logo, as well as a film projector in the distance casting light on the logo. Another reel facing the other direction, and also unspooling, is revealed as this is happening, and the unspooled film from the other reel is helping form the logo in the center. The camera pans over to the PlayArte logo, then the background fades to black and the logo gains a white trail effect and line below it. The logo stays for a second, then fades to black.

FX/SFX: The reels unspooling, the film forming the logo, the camera panning, and the background changing. Acceptable animation for 2006, but it looks dated now.

Music/Sounds: Same as before

Availability: Seen on releases from the company.

Editor's Note: None.



3rd Logo
(2013-)

Logo: On a space background, a spool spins and zooms away from the camera. As it spins, clear film comes out and wraps around an invisible bump, which fades into the familiar logo. The camera then faces the logo, in which it shines and the film disappears. The background becomes black as a trail appears behind it and a line is drawn below, forming the same result from before.

FX/SFX: The film unspooling, the logo fading in and rotating.

Music/Sounds: Same as the two previous logos

Availability: Current.

Editor's Note: None.
