High Quality

(1990-1992)

Logo: We see a starry black/blue background. Suddenly, we see 2 filmstrips on the left section of the screen: the blue one at the right rotates from the upper portion of the screen, and the red one rotates from the lower portion. After that, we see a green scalene triangle rotate from the upper left portion of the screen to form the letter "H" for "High Quality". Then, we see 4 square grids appear and merge into a bigger square grid, being behind the H. Finally, a set of text consisting:

High·Quality
Film~&~Video S.L.R

Presenta
su catálogo

zooms in and fades in.

Technique: Everything is 2D on this logo.

Music/Sounds: A bunch of descending warbling sounds, part of the song "Frankenstein" by The Edgar Winter Group. The warning screen has a soft 1980s muzak theme.

Availability: Extremely rare. Seen on some erotic and horror VHS tapes.

Hardcore Film

1st logo (1986-1988)

Logo: On a black background, we see the blue words "HARDCORE" in a big computerized font, slowly wiping in, piece by piece with dots. The colors then flash. The word "VIDEO" wipes in, also in yellow, piece by piece with dots, although in a much slower pace. The image consisting of the male and female gender symbols draw in next to "VIDEO", in red. The word "PRESENTA" in green, but in a different font, slowly wipes in. The text's colors flashes.

Technique: The wiping of the logo.

Music/Sounds: An excerpt of "Horizon" by Jon & Vangelis.

Availability: Seen on erotic tapes from the company in Argentina.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd logo (1988-1990)

Logo: We zoom out from a space grid background with shooting stars. The cyan and pink parts of the logo move in from the vertical sides and the green part zooms out, forming the result. The space grid background freezes, and "HIGH QUALITY", in yellow, along with "FILM & VIDEO S.R.L." below, appear underneath the logo.

Later Variant: "Hardcore Video" in blue fades in in place of the former text, later fading to "Presenta su catalogo". The background doesn't freeze in this one.

Technique: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo; the Hardcore Video variant has an extended version.

Availability: Same as the previous logo.
