IVE International Films

1st Logo (Early-Late 1980s)


Nicknames: "IVE Snail", "Antenna Snail"

Logo: On a black background, a pair of blue, yellow and red streaks wipe over in a swirly way, forming a snail's shell. Then the pink text "INTER VIDEO ESPAÑOLA ", which is seen above, among with an orange drawing of a slug with the stalks shaped as antennas, fade in. Then the whole logo fades out, to reveal the fading blue text "presenta ". It also fades out.

FX/SFX: The wiping and the fading.

Music/Sounds: Synthesizer sounds.

Availability: Extremely rare. It has been once spotted on From the Life of the Marionettes and The Saint releases.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Video (Mid-Late 1980s)


Nicknames: "IVE Snail II", "Antenna Snail II", "RGB Snail"

Logo: Over a light blue space background with a few flashing spots, a slightly dark, yellow square instantly appears, and constantly zooms out. Another yellow square, slightly lighter, zooms in inside the slightly dark yellow square. Another square; but rounded, in white with a black outline zooms in behind the yellow square. The two yellow squares then turn into a reflective look, as an animated red, green and <font color="#377ae6">blue spiral pattern fades in inside the rounded square. It is seen spinning around, as it slightly wipes out, to form a design of a snail's shell. The slug from before; now in a black color, fades in, and the text "<font color="#f0d213">IVE " flashes over one by one in <font color="#cc3fca">pink, <font color="#ffff00">yellow and <font color="#0000ff">blue colors. The dots do the same, but in <font color="#ffff00">yellow. The letters and the dots are all in <font color="#ffff00">yellow, with a black outline. The snail fades out, as the black outlined, blue text "<font face="Times New Roman"><font color="#3254b3">presenta " fades over the rounded square.

FX/SFX: Okay-ish 2D animation, compared to their first logo from above.

Music/Sounds: A UFO-like descending sound, as it segues to a soothing tune.

Availability: Can be spotted on a release of Out of Control. It can also be seen on other releases from that era.

Editor's Note: The animation is quite good from the era; but the UFO-like descending sounds could be quite jarring at the moment. It's better compared to their 1st logo as mentioned above.

3rd Logo (Late 1980s-Early 1990s?)
Nicknames: "IVE in Space"

Logo: On a zooming space background, a white sparkle draws the glowing cursive letters "iVe" and a continous line, while shifting to the left. It flashes, revealing the letters in a marker-drawn font, and the glowing text "International films". Then, the letters change colors in order: <font color="#377ae6">blue, <font color="#700000">red and <font color="#28944e">green. Later, the text "PRESENTA" fades in. The whole logo later fades out.

Variant: On Torquemada, the logo is paired with Septimo Arte Exhibicion.

FX/SFX: The drawing, the flashing and the fading.

Music/Sounds: Same as above.

Availability: Appears on their release of Mannigan's Force, and others.

Editor's Note: None.
