Background

Based in Madrid and established around 1981, Araba Films was a production and distribution company from Spain. Their most remarkable production was Roman Polanski's The Ninth Gate (co-produced with Canal+ and other European companies). Other than that, it distributed films from small production companies. In 2007, American film company Media 8 Entertainment acquired Araba Films, along with fellow distributor Lauren Films; the two companies subsequently stopped producing and distributing films, and instead focused on their cinema theater businesses until they became dormant in the mid-2010s.

1st Logo (1981?-early 1990s)

Unknown.

2nd Logo (Early 1990s-2007)

Logo: On a white background, a pencil drawing of a grass field fades in and starts shrinking and moving (in delayed motion) towards the center of the screen, revealing what seems to be a drawing of a conker tree. A rainbow draws itself behind the tree and the whole set fades to the print logo. The words "ARABA FILMS" fade in below with segmented lines. Then "presenta" in a script font fades in below.

Technique: Cel animation.

Music/Sounds: A nice, relaxing, but somewhat depressing string tune.

Availability: Ultra rare. Seen on Spanish films from the time period.^[Examples?]
