'''Music/Sounds:'''
*The music may vary; sometimes, a guitar theme is heard, while in other cases, a "popping" theme (which is the 1974 Isao Tomita song "Snowflakes are Dancing") is used.
*A female announcer that says "Televisa, a traves de su Canal 8, presenta" ("Televisa, through its Channel 8, presents" in Spanish). Sometimes, the spiel is shortened to "Televisa... presenta".

'''Technique:''' Scanimate.
'''Availability:''' Uncommon. This is still on early episodes of ''El Chavo del 8'', which was reran in every country in North & South America rather frequently (until 2020). Check Univision for this logo.
 
'''Audio:'''
* The music may vary; sometimes, a guitar theme is heard, while in other cases, a "popping" theme (which is the 1974 Isao Tomita song "Snowflakes are Dancing") is used.
* An announcer (actor Maria Antonieta de Las Nieves who played La Chilindrina) who says "{{Tt|Televisa, a traves de su Canal 8, presenta|Televisa, through Channel 8, presents}}". Sometimes, the spiel is shortened to "{{Tt|Televisa... presenta|Televisa... presents}}".
 
'''Availability:''' This is still on early episodes of ''El Chavo del 8'', which was reran in every country in North & South America rather frequently (until 2020). Depending on the channel, the logo might be cut out or plastered with a newer logo. In the United States, it was reported to appear in Univision.
'''Legacy:''' The psychedelic graphics and slightly strange music may get to some.

Trivia: This logo was designed by Pedro Ramírez Vázquez.[1]
