1st Logo (1986-1992?)


Currently the only surviving video footage of this logo.

Visuals: On a purple/black gradient background, we see a circular logo design 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.
