Compañia Colombiana de Video y Cine

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum


Logo (1980s-1990s)


Visuals: A morphing white fuzzy shape zooms out while changing its color to yellow to red to orange and to yellow, revealing a spinning blue space background. Two sparks, purple on the left, and red on the right, appears from left and right slowly come towards each other, leaving yellow-orange-red gradient trails. As they're about to collide, the red circle zooms in and changes the color to yellow, then morphs into four pieces that later spins and zoom in to form two ribbon Cs, while the two sparks with trails morph into a bigger, horizontal "C" under the smaller one - this is actually taken from the Cineplex Odeon Films logo. After the forming of both Cs, the logo turns into the cerise/pink filmstrip version of it, while the background turns black, then gains some sparks and zooms out. Finally, the text "COMPANIA COLOMBIANA DE VIDEO Y CINE" in bold white Arial tumbles from left and stops below the logo. Afterwards, the text fades out, and is replaced by a Spanish warning.

Variants:

  • There is a presentation variant with text sliding in reading, "PRESENTO," "COMPANIA COLOMBIANA DE VIDEO Y CINE<," and "SU COMPANIA EN VIDEO" one after another. The announcer says each text as it slides in.
  • A shorter version exists (which is also included on the video).

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: A synth tune with some whooshes throughout the forming of the logo, followed by an orchestral hit when the logo finishes its forming, and a male announcer saying the company name, and the Spanish warning, with "Savannah Dance" by Michael Pluznick in the background. The variant has a guitar playing and some drums.

Availability: Seen on home videos released by the company during the era. [Examples?]

Legacy: This logo is infamous for stealing Cineplex Odeon Films' logo.
