Transeuropa Video Entertainment

Background
Transeuropa Video Entertainment was founded on October 16, 1986 by Oscar Rodriguez and Mario de Pedsro, which was the domestic branch of Transeuropa Films, and decided to expand the business into the rental market and brought films from various independent production companies, as well as some cartoons. During the 1980s, it was one of the main labels in terms of sales and rental in the market. On April 23, 1999, Transeuropa Entertainment Group changed its global name to Global Entertainment SA, and then TVE subsequently themselves were put up for sale that Gijef SA bought out the company and began to manage the TVE brands, by creating the new combined company TVE-SBA, from a merger with SBP Worldwide, and decided to merge the TVE-SBP labels togethers. After the other three major labels (Gativideo, LK-TEL Video and AVH) shut down between 2009 and 2016, the company became the only major video distributor in the country until it was fully shut down in 2021 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, with Argentinian video distribution being shifted to digital and streaming platforms..

1st Logo (1986-1988)
Logo: On a black background, a light star zooms in. The star then flashes, then we see some trails, and then we see a flash. Colored red and blue streaks zoomed in, followed by yellow, purple and green streaks, as the outlined and styled "TVE" in a connected futuristic font, zooms in. Then the colors flashed in, and we see rainbow colors circling all around the "TVE" outline. Then, we see a flash, and another "TVE" outline zooms out. Then it crossfades to the TVE logo, as the words "TRANSEUROPA VIDEO ENTERTAINMENT" in yellow fades in below, and a gray background appears, then gray colored copies of the TVE logo stands appearing in the shadows and the logo continues. The text then disappears.

2nd Logo (1988-1991)
