Logo: We see a close-up of the letter "R" in black, which rapidly flashes in the Standard & Latin fonts on a white-ish background, also flashing colors. We zoom out of the "R", revealing the "R" on a Filmstrip with a Black Circle outside of the "R" with lines on the Left, Right, Top, & Bottom of the Circle. Still Flashing to the 2 Fonts, we zoom back to the "R", this time, in the center of it. It flipped itself Horizontally while Flashing. A second later, we see the number "4" in Black in a Standard Font shown for less than a second before Switching back to the "R". Then the number "3", also in Black with the standard Font is shown for less than a second before switching again back to the "R". Again, another number, this time, a black "2" in Standard Font is shown less than a second before switching back to the "R". As this is going on, the white becomes brighter & we zoom even closer to the "R". Once everything gets to a tan color, a shaking smaller version of the background for the "R" (or basically a square) is shown. With that, the text "RETAGUARDIA" in black & standard font in bold & "films" also in black & in cursive comes with the square & shakes. The background is less shaky as before & all ends in a filmstrip cut.

Technique: The Flashing, the Zooming, the Animation for the "R", the numbers showing up one by one, the shaking of the Square, & finally, the end effect.

Music/Sounds: Filmstrip Noises, as well as beeping noises when the numbers show up, getting higher pitched as each makes the sound.

Availability: This was only seen on Los Debutantes.

Legacy: This maybe the scariest logo from Chile due to that it's another one of these logos that uses Filmstrips as their main point of the logo, but give people seizures anyways.
