Gente de Cine C.A.

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum


1st Logo (November 19, 1974)


Visuals: On a blue background, yellow pieces of an abstract circular logo with bold lines on the sides begin appearing one-by-one, while a shaking effect occurs. Once the pieces come all together, extra circular borders pop in behind the logo and the words "GENTE DE CINE C.A." appear below.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: An ominous, quite jazzy ascending synth theme.

Availability: Only seen on the company's first film, La quema de Judas.

2nd Logo (May 18, 1977-September 22, 1987)



Visuals: On a red background, two white circular borders appear and "shake" one-by-one while two bold lines emerge from the vertical sides and twist near the center of the inner circle. The lines quickly disappear, while another group of lines emerge from the center of the circular borders and twist to the vertical sides before disappearing in a similar fashion to before. The same set of lines from the beginning appears again in a similar animation, before the finished logo flashes quickly and obscures the forming logo. The forming logo then vanishes into the finished one, while the text "GENTE DE CINE C.A." zooms out below.

Variants:

  • There was a version which has the logo elements in yellow.
  • In La oveja negra, the logo is in a red space background.

Technique: Similar 2D animation to the previous logo.

Audio: A futuristic and loud warbling UFO-like sound for the majority of the logo. A few films have it silent.

Availability: Seen on films released by the company after the late 1970s, such as El Pez Que Fuma and La oveja negra.

Legacy: This is remembered for its unpleasant music and flashing animation.
