Transmundo Home Video (Argentina)This is a featured page

Transmundo Home Video was the distributor of Cannon Films in the mid-80s to early 90s to become Transeuropa Home Video.

Note: Partly: This text was translated from Spanish to English.

1st (known) Logo
(1987-1990?)

Nicknames: "The Globe", "HTV Rip-off" (1988), "The catchy music", "dance like a fool in front of the TV" (1990 version)

Logo: On a gold-colored Milky Way background, we see a realistic-looking version of the Earth spinning into the screen. When it stops, "THV", in a font VERY similar to the logo of HTV in Wales, flies in, with an outlined version coming from the left, and the solid version coming from the right. When it stops, "Transmundo Home Video S.A." flies in from the same position as the globe, The 1990 version contains a catchy music..

FX: The flying globe, text, and letters.

Cheesy Factor: The animation is typical 1980's computer animation, and the "THV" logo rips off the HTV logo, like I said.

Music: A "whoosh", followed by a catchy synth-keyboard tune.

Availability: The first edition (1989?) of "Las aventuras de Tosty y sus amigos" (sic, the real name is: "El tostadorcito valiente" - The Brave Little Toaster) and "Noche silenciosa, Noche Mortal" (Silent Night, deadly Night).

Scare Factor: Medium; the logo coming out of nowhere can startle a daydreaming viewer. But the version with catchy music for a horror film make you want to dance.

The original presentation can see in parts, courtesy of the Guillermo A. Martinez personal Collection on his channel in Youtube:
