Background
Video Shark was a pirate DVD producer and distributor from Mexico, most active during the late-2000s to early 2010s.
1st Logo (2009-2011)
Visuals: On an orange background with a yellow spotlight, a beige symbol of a shark with its mouth open inside an outlined circle zooms from us before settling. The text "VIDEO SHARK" then zooms from us and settles under the logo.
Variant: On later DVDs, the background starts out completely black and the spotlight at the bottom fades in white once the text appears.
Technique: CGI.
Audio:
- None for the earlier version.
- For the later version, a low-pitched humming synth drone is heard.
Availability: Some of the DVDs they distributed having this logo include nature documentaries, family titles like Shrek, Barney and Friends and Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, and, according to the promo that precedes it, other films from diverse film genres, also including adult titles.
2nd Logo (2010-2011)
Visuals:
Technique: CGI.
Audio: Tropical-sounding stock music with bubbling sound effects, a rendition of "Charge (Bugle Call)" when the black fish appears, biting and burping sound effects, a voice softly screaming, and a shatter when the screen breaks away. During the end screen, a man muttering gibberish is heard.
Availability: Seen on bootleg DVDs they released during the early 2010s, such as a Barney and Friends compilation DVD.
