Background

Imavision was first founded as Imavision 21 in 1995 by Pierre Paquet and the late Gabor Kertesz. The company, then located at Côte-Vertu Boulevard in Saint-Laurent, Quebec, specializes in the field of audiovisual distribution, first in VHS, and later progressing to the DVD format.

Logo (1995-Late 1998)


Visuals: The screen pans through a small city in a dark street-like surface on a dark cloudy background. A lightning bolt can be seen striking from the left, then another one shortly later. From the distance as we pan through, there is a tall building with each of the corners tall black vertical rectangles, alongside a rotating silver cylinder with both front and rears having yellow spotlights emitting, similar to a lighthouse. As soon as we get closer enough, there is two blue sharp bars with the top having an 8-pointed star connected to it in the middle, and the below having a cut-out in the middle. All of this has the text "IMAVISION" and "21" surrounded by them.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A synthesized tune with a thunderclap, seguing to a twinkling and 5-note flute tune. A deep clang can be heard as the logo is on-screen, ending with a synth flourish.

Availability: Seen on all documentary releases of Les épisodes retrouvés - Les belles Histoires des Pays d'en Haut. Also seen on French Canadian releases of Pokémon, and Maroc le royaume des lumières.
