1st Logo (1980-1987)

Technique: Cel animation.

Audio: A short drum-based fanfare.

Availability: Unknown.^[Examples?]

3rd Logo (1990-1991)

Visuals: The same owl from before is seen (but more vividly colored). Lasers shoot out of its eyes, and the owl flashes. GERMAN GARCIA Y GARCIA is written below in a italic green font.
