1st Logo (1980s)

TBA

2nd Logo (1980s-1980s)

Provided ID could not be validated.

Logo: On a black background with lines (shooting stars) moving slowly, we see the red words easing in:

TOP TAPE

CINE-VIDEO-TV-DISCO

A hexagon appears zooming inside.

FX/SFX: The words and the hexagon.

Music/Sounds: A loud synth drone with a 2-note fanfare.

Availability: Seen on VHS tapes from this company released in this era.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (1990s-2000s)

Provided ID could not be validated.

Logo: On a blue background, a series of pink-coloured clouds rise from the bottom. Amidst the clouds, a red rectangle surges up to the middle of the screen. After the rectangle finishes moving, a flash comes from behind, and the clouds disappear, along with the rectangle reducing in size. The TOP TAPE logo fades in and starts glowing.

FX/SFX: The logo is filmed, with some elements added through video-tape. There are two variants of the original logo: one without the HOME VÍDEO logo and another one where the logo freezes before the APRESENTA text is shown.

Music/Sounds: Same as the 1st one.

Availability: Seen on VHS tapes from the company released in this era, such as El Chavo and El Chapulín Colorado releases.

Editor's Note: TBA

4th Logo (2000s-2002)

Provided ID could not be validated.

Logo: On a black background, a 3D, shiny and blue-colored Top Tape logo shows up on screen, moving from the right side of the screen to the left side. The shining of the logo occupies the screen, revealing two separate lines that zoom out onto the frame. A moving background of clouds is slightly seen behind the two lines, before the TOP TAPE text zooms out, settling itself between said lines. Three circular stroke effects rotate around the finished logo before fading out.

FX/SFX: Overall 3D with a few 2D effects being added, such as shining and flashing. Includes a moving cloud background.

Music/Sounds: A synthesizer sequence is played with sound effects added onto it, ending with a drum-like beat when the logo forms.

Availability: Seen on some DVDs released by the company, from the 2000s until 2002.

Editor's Note: Last logo of the company before entering bankruptcy, and merging with fellow home video distributor Spectra Nova.
