Cubavisión

1st Logo (1989-1990)


Logo: On a black background that turns into a space background, an Earth zooms in. It crossfades to the Earth spinning on a different space background, as blue lines go up and down, respectively. "CUBAVISION" in a futuristic font flips in, resting under the Earth, as the lines rest.

Technique: Scanimate-like animation and probably live-action for the Earth.

Music/Sounds: A mysterious-sounding synth that transitions into a Mambo track.

Availability: Extinct.

2nd Logo (1990-1996)


Logo: We start with blue and white stripes (ala the Cuban flag) sliding into place. After some time, the screen fades to red and a white star in the center fades in. The logo fades to a top-down view of a star-shaped building. The camera pans up and then down through the building before zooming out to reveal a statue of José Martí, zooming out into a comfortable distance to reveal the whole building with the text "CUBA Visión" in orange and a number 6 in red.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A synth fanfare that becomes majestic after the initial four notes.

Availability: Extinct.

3rd Logo (1996-2003)


Logo: On a blue background, we see a sphere with two split lines at the bottom and a zig-zag shape on the top quarter. The line segments are light blue whilst the top part is green. The sphere rolls towards the camera before stopping, with the green bit facing the screen. The sphere slowly rotates upwards as "cubavisión" flies from the sphere, turning and zooming in. The sphere and text position themselves. Later a light blinks on the line above the o.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A synth-pop fanfare.

Availability: Extinct.

4th Logo (2003-2009; 2010; 2011?)


Logo: On a blue tunnel that is on a black background, an outlined circle forms, as other outlined circles also coming together and making a re-rendered version of the sphere from the previous logo. "cubavisión" then slides in under the sphere.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo.

Availability: Extinct.
