Background

Its main purpose was to distribute titles from Shapiro Glickenhaus Entertainment and Fries Entertainment among independent companies.
1st Logo (1988-1990?)
![](/w/thumb.php?f=AcuarelaFilms%25_26Video1.webp&width=300)
Visuals: On a black background, there is each letter of the word "ACUARELA" in a futuristic type font zooming in orange, letter by letter. After the last letter disappears, we slide into pieces of the white paint palette with red, blue and green splats with a black outline on a yellow background. Then, it fades to the palette with the "ACUARELA" words flying piece by piece from the palette. The word "FILMS EN VIDEO" flips from the bottom right and settle below the letters. The word "PRESENTA" in black flips in from the right of the screen below the logo.
Technique: 2D computer animation.
Audio: An excerpt of "Brooklyn Heights Boogie" by Bob James.
Availability: Seen on early Acuarela Films en Video releases. [Examples?]
2nd Logo (1990-Mid 1990s)
![](/w/thumb.php?f=Acuarelafilms.png&width=450)
Visuals: On an optical background with a city skyline and clouds moving, the word "ACUARELA" in the same style as before, albeit metallic go to the left and "FILMS EN VIDEO" in light blue go to the right. Then, it comes again together with palette icon, albeit in chrome, with red, blue and green splats, albeit more metallic. Finally, the background changes from optical to black, and the word "PRESENTA" flies.
Technique: Scanimation.
Audio: A rhythmic samba theme.
Availability: Seen on later releases from the era. [Examples?]
