Telecentro (Costa Rica)

Telecentro was a channel on Costa Rica.

1st Logo (1960's)


Logo: We fade in into a sunlight background (i.e. many diagonal lines and a light-like point which obviously sends rays, which are the diagonal lines), the text as follows: TeleCentro

on a 1910-ish font, zooms in letter-by letter. Doing the same is the text

Canal 6

on a futuristic, Calibri-like font. It stays still for two minutes until we fade to black.

FX/SFX: The fading in, the zooming of the texts. Nothing special about it.

Music/Sounds: Be My Love -- Warner Bros. Orch. & George Greeley, extended all at once (which longers the logo). This would be it's select music from future logos.

Availability: Long since extinct. Seen only as the startup and closedown of the time, which are both followed or preceeded by an prayer to Costa Rica, although it's seen on bumpers for commercials too, and the rest it's just history.

(1980's)
Logo: TBA

FX/SFX: This has better effort than before, but still, it has irritants for the number being so slow and very choppy at the time.

Music/Sounds: Same as before, but now with an announcer.

Availability: Rare.
