Background
Caballero Home Video is an American pornographic film company founded by Noel C. Bloom in 1974 as Caballero Control Corporation. It is one of the oldest porn studios in the US, and during the Golden Age of Porn it was one of the largest, producing several of the best-selling and most critically acclaimed pornographic films. With the advent of home video, Caballero went on to dominate the American adult video market in the 1980s alongside VCA Pictures. It also acquired the U.S. rights to rival studio Cal Vista's entire catalogue of more than 150 films.
Caballero was also the former parent company of U.S.A. Home Video (now Artisan Entertainment), which was divested from the company in 1986 as Carolco Pictures purchased Caballero's remaining stocks in the company.

1st (known) Logo
(1981?-Late 1980s?)
Logo: On a black background, we see three conjoined reddish-yellow C's arranged kind of like this:
--C
C
--C
The letters zoom out to the left while sparkling. Then, the words "CABALLERO CONTROL CORPORATION", in red, yellow, and green colors, slide out from the right and flash.
FX/SFX: The sparkling, sliding, and flashing.
Music/Sounds: A loud synth fanfare with snare drums, or the opening of the film.
Music/Sounds Variant: One variant has the USA Home Video logo music playing over the logo instead, along with a voiceover. Another variant has the 1st Family Home Entertainment (FHE) music play over it instead.
Availability: Extremely rare; seen on porn films from the company.
Editor's Note: None.

1st Logo (Early 1980s)
Logo: On a black background, three diagonal lines, with the CCC Home Video logo between the first and second lines and the text "CABALLERO CONTROL CORPORATION HOME VIDEO" ("VIDEO" contains blue, yellow, and red stripes in the middle) in the other space zooms downward to the screen.
FX/SFX: The zooming.
Music/Sounds: None.

2nd Logo (Mid 1980s)
Nickname: "C's of Doom"
Logo: Against a space background with stars slowly shooting forth, we see a blue object zooming forth. They turn upward to reveal itself to be three C's arranged somewhat like this:
C
C
The middle C is being overlapped by the other two. The C's then split into two and disappear from both sides of the screen. Then, the blue text
CABALLERO C O N T R O L ---C O R P O R A T I O N HOME VIDEO spins in from the distance. It then fades out.
Variant: There exists a version with a copyright date at the beginning.
FX/SFX: The text animation and the moving stars.
Music/Sounds: It starts off with an eerie bass humming sound, which is joined by a rising synth chord. It's followed by a "crash" when the C's split up, and ends with a loud, dramatic synth stinger.
Availability: Can be seen on old adult films from the era.
Editor's Note: None.
