Background

Fat Records was a pirate DVD company from Mexico. They're among the most well-known distributors of pirated DVDs in Mexico.

Logo (2006-2010s?)

Visuals: It begins with CGI footage of a camera traveling through wires in a dark environment, with a dim light moving around. Five red dots are seen fading in while a morphing shape appears, with the text "PULSE" appearing briefly, then it plays in reverse with everything fading out. After some seconds, a flash transition happens, and a picture of a white telephone appears. After a while, it fades to the Ulead Cool 3D globe template with the text "FAT RECORDS" spinning. Footage of a film is then shown, where the camera pans up showing a body's neural system lighting up, zooming into its brain. Very briefly, the face of an actress is shown before the footage plays in reverse. It then fades to the Ulead Cool 3D globe template again for an extended period of time. Meanwhile, multiple flares appear, and colored bars in yellow, green, pink, red, and blue form and take most of the screen, with transparent gradients for each. The lines then disappear. An animation of a metallic logo forming appears overlaid on top of the template animation, which plays back in reverse. The globe template animation then changes to the Ulead Cool 3D 20th Century Fox template, with the text reading "FAT Records". After a while, the overlaid footage fades out, with the camera rotating around the template.

Technique: CGI mostly made with Ulead Cool 3D, along with the footage and video editor effects.

Audio: Mechanical noises at the beginning, with edited warbled speech, then a vintage phone ringing when the telephone appears. Once the logo appears, "Esta Despierto" by Timbiriche begins playing.

Availability: Seen on the various bootleg DVDs they've distributed, including family movies such as Shrek and Huevocartoon, and 3/4/5-on-1 DVD discs of multiple titles.

Legacy: This logo is very nostalgic for those who grew up with Fat Records' DVDs.
