Mexcinema Video Corporation

1st Logo (1986-1990s?)


Logo: On a black background with green stars, a strange segmented blue object, with what appears to be a Pac-Man esque sun behind a mountain or temple, with a large diagonal line on the opposite side of it, starts flying around until it rests in the middle of the screen. The text "Mexcinema video corp" zooms out, also in blue. A gold copyright date appears below.

Technique: The flying.

Music/Sounds: A cheap synth bassline, that segues into a faster-paced disco tune when the company name appears.

Availability: Scarce. Likely found on VHS Tapes of Spanish films produced by this company.

2nd Logo (1990s?)


Logo: We start out with a zoom in on a CGI temple, going down a path surrounded by foilage and with hills in the background. Once the camera stops zooming, the sun come up behind the it. The outline of the temple turns into 4 trapezoids, four of which are bigger as it goes down and the final one with two triangle pieces missing, resembling an "M". Then the sun shoots towards the screen, turning the entire screen white for a bit, and a calm,cloudy background zooms in quickly. The same logo from before, but in a shiny blue color and slightly redesigned features, flies and turns to the center of the screen. Once it stops, the company name pans in, and the logo shines, ending with the copyright symbols appearing as the logo ends.

Variant: There is an alternate variant where the camera zooms AWAY from the temple. Other than that and the sun coming up later, the logo acts out the same way.

Trivia: It's unsure why the alternate version exists, as it may be either a animation mistake or a prototype version. Either way, the sun shooting towards the screen is definitely something to catch first-time viewers off guard.

Technique: The zooming, sun rising, glowing, explosion of the temple, and the logo flying.

Music/Sounds: A synth tune that sound like one of those generic temple themes with an explosion sound, ending with a 4-note triumphant synth tune.

Availability: Same as the previous logo.
