Background

Estrela (full name: Manufatura de Brinquedos Estrela S.A.) is a traditional Brazilian toy factory, founded by Siegfried Adler on June 27, 1937. The company establishes October 12 as the "Dia do Brinquedo Estrela" ("Estrela Toy's Day" in Portuguese).

1st Tag (December 1996; December 1998)


Visuals: Over a studio apartment at night with lights moving around, the current logo of the company is superimposed over a 12-line billboard where each line spins from the light-covered ambient to reveal what covers each line. Next to it are 13 blocks resembling TVs (6 of them have the logo with only the circle and four-pointed star intact; the other 7 have white screen). It cuts to the same scene but the 6 TVs in their point of view are visible. It cuts to the same scene but in it is a square-shaped door-like metallic construction object in its point of view, as all the lights that were moving around come together to light up the object revealing a golden-toned sun-like light turning a white background fading to the start of every commercial.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: A moderate-tempo synth tune starting off with a synthesized glissando and then a chorus of children singing the company name and then three synth notes and what sounds like a man yelling the company name.

Later Audio Variant: In late December 1998, it used a fast rock tune starting off with a powerful guitar note and then rock singers singing the company name twice.

Availability: Used at the start of commercials every December (excluding in December 1997). Examples are Leva Nenê, Cirandinha, Macaco Tremelique, Amiguinha, among others. The later audio variant can be found in the last commercials to use the tag, such as Chapeuzinho Surpresa, in late December 1998.

2nd Tag (2002-2004)


Visuals: On a blue background, the current logo of the company goes up (with only the star spinning) and then turns to the center (when the star stops spinning). It flashes to white and then fades to the start of every commercial.

Technique: 3D animation and CGI.

Audio: An analog "middle B" note that then slices, and the "high B" ding in the flashing, segueing into the opening theme of the commercial. A voiceover can be heard saying "Estrela apresenta..." at the start, though the voiceover was initially omitted.

Availability: Used at the start of commercials, such as Eliana, Susi, Moranguinho (not the 1980s doll of the company), among others.

3rd Tag (2005-2006)


Visuals: On a white background, there is a red ball bouncing once to the center of the background. The ball slices in half and within it is a blue ball that appears to be sliced in half, and within them is another red ball that also appears to be sliced in half and within the other red ball is another blue ball that also appears to be sliced in half as well. The other blue ball reveals what looks like a carousel, and then everything moves up to reveal the same logo from before. Blue ripples can be seen and then red stripes wipe down. It flashes to white and then fades to the start of every commercial.

Technique: 3D animation.

Audio: A "wheel"-like sound as the ball bounces, bubbling sounds accompanying a dreamy synth pad, and the "high B" ding in the flashing, segueing into the opening theme of the commercial. It uses the same voiceover from before.

Availability: Used at the start of commercials, such as Susi.

4th Tag (2007)


Visuals: On a white background, the same logo from before (but in 3D this time) is seen: the logo pops down to the center and the rectangle and text move rotation to the center with slight fade-in. Red flowers can be seen and then four stripes (two blue and two red) wipe from the left and two more stripes (one blue and one red) wipe down. The logo (minus the rectangle) then rotates as the rectangle and text do the inverse animation but with slight fade-out instead of fading-in. The logo (minus the rectangle) opens in half and the next half reveals the start of every commercial with the stripes writing "70". The background all fades out.

Technique: 3D animation.

Audio: A rapid xylophone tingle and then a short version of it, followed by either a synth-organ tune or the opening theme of the commercial. It uses the same voiceover from before.

Availability: Used at the start of commercials, such as Pim Pam Pum, Susi, among others.

Legacy: At the end of every commercial this tag introduces a new "ding" currently used by the company (a modernized version of the 1970s "G" ding).

5th Tag (2008-2010)

6th Tag (2011)
