Background

Legal Video S.A. was a home video distributor that was founded on August 2, 1985 by Hector Emilio Olivera and Fernando Ayala, who also founded Videoman Internacional a month earlier, to release home video titles, and the company was responsible for the titles that Aries Cinematografia handled in theaters. In 1986, Legal Video decided to expand by setting up a children's arm "Video Niño" to handle children's titles, and it was expanded to distribute titles by CBS/Fox Video. In 1987, due to Aries' financial problems, both Legal Video and Videoman Internacional became part of a new company Gativideo, which the Legal Video brand became the main brand and the Videoman brand was used for MGM/UA titles, and it was dissolved in 1989 in favor of the Gativideo brand.

Expansion depth limit exceeded{{Expansion depth limit exceeded|id=eHA9DhcVVLc|id2=5WwT22gibEs}}

Logo: On a black background, a very pixelated Chinese dragon in {{Expansion depth limit exceeded|#008080|teal}}/{{Expansion depth limit exceeded|green}}/{{Expansion depth limit exceeded|gold|yellow}}/{{Expansion depth limit exceeded|orange}} scrolls downwards. As it scrolls, a metallic rectangle flips in, zooming in as well. There is the text "LEGAL VIDEO S.A." in a very "futuristic" font, along with a large cutout in the lower right corner, as well as the large letters "LV" taken out of the top right. After the dragon leaves the screen, the logo glitches out for a second, causing streaks from the bottom edges to streak across the screen. The streaks would later fade at the end.

Logo: On a black background we see a pair of woman's eyes. After at least four seconds a {{Expansion depth limit exceeded|gold|yellow}} grid moving upwards and a light-bulb with a faint flame both fade in. As the logo progresses sparks move through the light-bulb then numerous animated flames appear to form a silhouette of a conveyor belt carrying some boxes and vanish after a {{Expansion depth limit exceeded|gold|yellow}} flash with a white solid 8-point star in the middle appears. The Legal Video text from before in white flips up zooms out and settles beneath the eyes and the grid/light-bulb fade out. The prototypical Gativideo logo in {{Expansion depth limit exceeded|gold|yellow}} fades in on top and stays on for ten seconds before finally fading to black.

Technique: Flat CGI, with traditional cel animation for the flames and scanimate for the text.

Music/Sounds: An excerpt of "Generando" by Pastoral, combined with a thunderclap and an explosion sound.
