Contents

1st Logo (1977)	2nd Logo (1986-1989?)	3rd Logo (1992-1994)	4th Logo (1994-1999)

1st Logo (1977)

Visuals: Over the opening scene of the movie, there is a rounded-square shaped spiral with "LA OFICINA CENTRAL DE INFORMACION" in stacked format below it with "OCI" below and "VENEZUELA" below it.

Technique: A still superimposed graphic.

Audio: Opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Seen on Panamá.

2nd Logo (1986-1989?)

From the available partial video capture of the logo.

Currently the only surviving video footage of this logo.

Visuals: On a purple/black gradient background, a circular logo design is shown consisting of a C on the left, a sliced lowercase I at the center, and a sliced, mirrored C at the right. Under the logo, a surface consisting of red, green and blue lines is seen. The text:

OFICINA

CENTRAL DE

INFORMACION

flies in at the right.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: From the partial footage available at the moment, part of a spacy synth theme can be heard.

Availability: It was used at the end of cadena broadcasts during the Jaime Lusinchi period. Currently, only a partial 2 second clip of this logo exists online.

3rd Logo (1992-1994)

Visuals: The Venezuelan coat of arms is shown over a black background with a white 3D trail at the front. The screen zooms out as the trail flips into the text "OFICINA CENTRAL DE INFORMACIÓN", sandwiched by two lines.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: "Cat Tales" by Jean-Luc Ponty with an announcer saying the name.

Availability: Seen at the beginning and end of national cadenas (joint broadcasts) by the Venezuelan government during the period, with the majority of them not being preserved online in full.

4th Logo (1994-1999)

Visuals: A flash occurs on a dark blue background, revealing a golden "OCi" rotating into view, with the "O" and "C" overlapping and the "Ci" connected together from the bottom of the "C" (causing the "i" to look like a J). Then a ribbon of the Venezuelan flag then moves to the left side of the screen before stopping, as a golden version of the Coat of Arms fades in zooming out lightly; a golden bar with "Oficina Central de Informacion" zooms out at the bottom while the elements settle.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A majestic fanfare.

Availability: Same as before. This was used during Rafael Caldera's second term of presidency.
