(1980-1985)


Logo: On a black background, a big red trail of light zooms out. Seconds later, a yellow trail does the same. The trails then dissappear, blurring vertically, and soon we reveal the trails as the words "MASPE" in red and "FILMES" in yellow, all in a cinema-ish font. the word "apresenta" wipes in from the left side of the screen.

FX/SFX: The text zooming out and the word "apresenta" appearing.

Music/Sounds: A timpani hit that rapidly repeats, followed by an extremely loud gong. A cartoony-ish like sound, which is supposed to be an circled bag with cash repeats 5 times, followed by oddly-arranged Chinese percussion, and then another loud gong. Tankoes and Bongoes are heard in the finale.

Availability: Ultra rare. Only two films have it which are Palácio de Vênu and Senta no Meu, Que Eu Entro na Tua.

Legacy: The volume of the gong, combined with the darkness, the fanfare, and text zooming, make this one of the scariest logos in Brazil, maybe the entire world.
