Background

Vídeo Colección, S.A. was the European Spanish branch of Video Collection International. They released videos from 1987 until at least the end of 1990.

Logo (1987-1990)

Visuals: Cutting in from black, a grey floor with light and dark grey "marble" scratches and a light grey grid is seen slowly shifting towards the upper right, as a red triangle zooms out from the top left edge and moves towards bottom centre with a shadow effect. An angled grey rectangle with a black front face then "opens" up and several more pieces appear around it, forming up a TV-like monitor with a satellite dish on top. The device rotates around a full 360 degrees as several pieces fly off it, then reattach, and then zooms in while tilting violently until the black screen takes up the whole area for a brief moment. It then cuts back to the floor, although it's now stationary, and a red rectangle takes up the middle via a "blinds" effect before retracting on the sides. The rectangle then flips around once and rotates up, as a black "V" spins in as well and the background fades to black. It then plasters itself onto the red rectangle as the rest of the white text "ideo" fades in and white lines drop down from the rectangle. A grey background fades in, with a tall black rectangle remaining with a shadow effect, and the white lines contort into the tall white text "COLECCION".

Trivia: The logo is a slightly modified version of the 1986 UK logo. "the" is removed from the black box while the animation of the lines is slightly altered to instead form the word "COLECCION".

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A quiet beeping sound, followed by a synthesised swoosh and some metallic clunks when parts forming the television, then a little synthesised organ-like tune. It ends with a sparkling chime and two timpani drum beats.

Audio Variants:

At the end of a promo seen on the initial run of Vídeo Colección releases, an announcer can be heard. He says "No lo dude más y únase a los millones que en el mundo "Vídeo-coleccionan", y que gracias a nosotros aprenden, juegan, ríen, lloran y saben, por fin, qué hacer con su tiempo libre. Vídeo Colección: un nuevo concepto en vídeo ha nacido para usted. Gracias por su confianza."

Availability: Seen on Castillian Spanish VHS and Betamax releases from the period. Much of what Vídeo Colección released was similar to that of what its UK counterpart offered up.

It is also seen on many Hanna-Barbera and Ruby Spears cartoons. Casper and the Angels and Yogi's First Christmas are two examples.
It is also seen on a few DIC cartoons such as Care Bears and Inspector Gadget.
