Gaby International Ltd.

Background
Gaby International was a video distributor company in Poland, where they distributed old horror movies, among others, in the region. They also claimed to be from Sweden, probably to avoid regulations (at least in the second logo).

1st Logo (1985?-1988?)
Logo: On a black background, a blue box is drawn in, followed a giant yellow lowercase "i". A globe is drawn in the box, with latitude and longitude lines in it. Outlines of the letters "ABY" are then drawn in then filled in with the same blue. As this happens "INTERNAT ONAL" appears below, with the giant "i" acting as the 9th letter. After the letters get filled in, "Ltd." appears below as well as a registered trademark symbol beside the logo. The final result can be found on the logo still in the description.

Technique: Primitive computer animation, probably made on a Meritum.

Music/Sounds: A beep is heard, then two slow beeps, the first is indicating the logo is being drawn, and second one is indicating the drawing is done.

Availability: Tapes that had this maybe had generic yellow and blue cases with them, so keep an eye on them.

Legacy: Due to the odd design, this logo is called one of the ugliest of all time.

2nd Logo (1989-1992)
hLikzDnAaw4&feature=emb_title Logo: On a grey background, two orange lines draw in the middle of the screen. Then, "Gaby" in a less blocky font, flips in. Vertical and horizontal lines are drawn in the "G" as an giant lowercase "i" flips in onto the "G" and the text "SWEDISH COMPANY IN POLAND" and "NTERNATIONAL Ltd.", with the giant "I" serving as the first letter, wipe in above and below the logo respectively, giving this result in the logo still. A registered trademark appears in the "b". The logo then plays again with no changes in the animation before going to a warning screen.

Variant: A later variant had the logo rolling on a grey background in a orange border, with their address below. At the end, the logo then rolls away.

Technique: Less primitive computer animation.

Music/Sounds: None. A funky MIDI fanfare plays in the later version.

Availability: Seen on Polish VHS copies of Comrades of Summer, among other titles.
