1st Logo
(1986-1990)
.

Logo: On a dark background with some fireworks, a white stylised tree between the (striped) words "abril" and "video" fades-in. The word "a p r e s e n ta" appear quickly after the tree and the words fade.

FX/SFX/: Pretty basic and cheesyfor today stand arts.

Music/Sounds: The 1986 Walt Disney Home Video fanfare or a majestic synth fanfare.

Availability: On early releases of Disney films in Brazil. You could be lucky if you found a copy in the USA. Check those tapes!

Editor's Note: TBA.



2nd Logo
(1990-1994)


Logo: On a black background, theres the same tree from before (but now colored green) zooming out while some trails slides next to the tree, which forms the words "abril" and "video" (also striped but now green). the background gradually changes to a grey wallpaper-like background with several trees.

FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: Okay CGI for the time, but very choppy by today's standards. It looks like it was done on an Amiga computer.

Music/Sounds: A synth theme

Availability: On early releases of Disney films in Brazil. You could be lucky if you found a copy in the USA. Check those tapes!

Editor's Note: TBA.



3rd Logo
(1994-1999)
Abril Video (Brazil) - CLG WikiAbril Video (199?)

Logo: On a space background we see some filmstrip moving towards the screen (like some kind of road or tunnel). At the end of the filmstrip another filmstrip appear moving up. Inside the filmstrip is a huge grey filmstrip on a gray background, while the same tree from before along the words "abril" and "video" places in.

FX/SFX: Better CGI than before, but still outdated for today stand arts.

Variant:
  • A short variant exists.
  • Sometimes, "abril" appear above the tree, "videos" appear instead of "video"

Music/Sounds: A synth rock theme.

Availability: Seen on a Brazilian VHS release of Demon in the Bottle, among others. Check mainly Brazilian VHS releases of Disney and 20th Century Fox films. You could be lucky if you found a copy in the USA.
