1st Logo (Early 1980s)

Visuals: There is a multi-colored background with numerous multicolored stripes consisting of various shades of yellow, red, pink, and purple, which was also shown at the beginning of the piracy warning screen. The words "Producciones" and "Video Home", in blue with a white outline, then appear at the top of the screen and "zoom" downwards to the bottom of the screen, the blue in the text eventually becoming green.

Technique: Primitive 2D animation.

Audio: The audio is directly taken from the fanfare that plays in the Gaumont logo used from 1971 to 1980, though it is cut off at the beginning.

Availability: Appeared on an Argentine VHS of Project: Kill.

2nd Logo (Mid 1980s)

Visuals: On a black background, there is a 2D computer representation of the Earth, which zooms away. Two glowing dots approach the Earth and a flashy explosion occurs, which turns into various pointed stars. The sequence then fades into a cyan background with a black small surface seen above and with a wide red triangle seen above it, with the letters V and H engraved on it, meaning "Video Home". "PRODUCCIONES" and "VIDEO HOME" then move up below the logo. The text disappears. Then the whole logo fades to the cyan serif word"PRESENTA" (PRESENTS), on a black background.

Technique: Primitive 2D animation.

Audio: A synthesized version of "Garden Party" by Herb Alpert.

Availability: Appears on Argentine videotapes of such films as Hanger 18.

3rd Logo (Late 1980s-1990s)

Visuals: On a moving neon tunnel with road marks and blue and red lights, and a glow on the center of the tunnel, the yellow words "ACCION" (action), "SUSPENSO" (suspense), "COMEDIA" (comedy), "TERROR" (horror), "INFANTIL" (children's), "DRAMA" scroll up, with each word appearing pretty much after each second. The tunnel animation fades out. The screen fades into a blue water surface seen on a dark sky, as the logo zooms in. The logo consists of the triangle from before, but in white, and the words "PRODUCCIONES", "VIDEO" and "HOME", also in white, below the triangle. When the logo stops zooming, you can see a yellow-ish shadow behind the words "VIDEO" and "HOME".

Technique: Primitive 2D animation.

Audio: Straight up from "Chloe" by Elton John.

Availability: Appears on Argentine videotapes of such films as The Clones.
