Argentina Sono Film S.A.C.I.

1st Logo (1935)


Nicknames: "The Belgrano Drain", "The Drowning Letters of Doom", "The Pioneer On Argentinian Nightmare Logos", "The Oldest Nonsensical Nightmare Logo Ever".

Logo: We see some giant letters "swimming" in what appears to be running water. The letters form together one by one on a soggy paper-ish form, to form an rays-like background with text that says "ARGENTINA" on the top in a fancy version of Arial, and "SONO FILM" on the bottom in a flat cartoon-ish font, superimposing its shadows of the background. Over the bottom we see a big house which looks like a very old mosque along with the text "PRESENTA"

FX/SFX: Reversed live-action footage.

Music/Sounds: The loud sounds of water dripping, along with a drumroll with a bombastic trumpet fanfare at the end.

Availability: Seen only on El Alma del Bandoneón.

Editor's Note: The first half of the logo, while looks messy, has very impressive animation for the 30's.

2nd Logo (1940s-????)
Logo: On a background of a sky with clouds, a sun shining with a seal that says "SELECCION EDITOR" The text "ARGENTINA SONO FILM S.A.C.L" in the same format as before zooms in.

FX/SFX: The background and text.

Music/Sounds: A bombastic, majestic fanfare somewhat based off the 1st logo's fanfare at the beginning.

Availability: Uncommon in Argentina.

Editor's Note: TBA

3rd Logo (1970s-1980s)
Logo: On a space background, we zoom through stars, leading to a background of a sun. The same seal appears on the sun, and above it the text "ARGENTINA" in the same font as the previous logo appears, as does "SONO FILM", and a red ribbon with "S.A.C.L" appears below. The logo shines.

FX/SFX: The space background, the text. Very dated animation for the '70s.

Music/Sounds: Same as before.

Availability: Common in Argentina.

Editor's Note: TBA

4th Logo (2016-)
Logo: A similar concept to before. We zoom through clouds, and when we come to a clearing we see the same "ARGENTINA SONO FILM" text as before, which flips up.

FX/SFX: The clouds, the logo rising up. Very good animation.

Music/Sounds: A synthesized remake of the old fanfare.

Availability: Current.
