Background
Videoman Internacional was formed on July 12, 1985 by Hector Emilio Olivera and Fernando Ayala. who owned Aries Cinematografia Argentina, who also founded Legal Video a month later. Its primary purpose was to distribute MGM/UA Home Video titles for the Argentinian market, and for a short time, it also has offices in Chile and Spain. In 1987, due to Aries' financial problems, both Legal Video and Videoman Internacional became part of a new company Gativideo, which the Legal Video brand became the main brand and the Videoman brand was used for MGM/UA titles, and it was dissolved in 1989 in favor of the Gativideo brand.

.png)
Visuals: On a black background with a yellow haze, a grid emerges from the haze and the Videoman Internacional logo ("VIDEOMAN INTERNACIONAL") with the words stacked on top of each other in a Times New Roman font in white inside a white rectangle appears and flips around before finally settling in the middle.
Technique: Computer effects.
Audio: A disco theme.
Availability: Presumably seen on older releases from the label. [Examples?]
2nd Logo (1987-1989)
.png)
Visuals: On a black background, a black sun with an orange outline appears with a yellow glow (it looks similar to the Schick Sun). As the sun appears, a white, glowing "ray" of sunlight fades in after it that later changes to a green-black striped color. Two copies of the previous Videoman Internacional logo, from a tilted angle, zoom in from the top of the ray of sunlight to the bottom of the screen at a very slow pace; with the second logo tilting forward to a comfortable viewing position and the first logo staying tilted, to give the appearance of a "shadow effect" to the first logo. As the second copy of the previous Videoman Internacional logo stops at a comfortable distance from the screen, (the first copy of the logo continues scrolling off-screen), a prototype version of the Gativideo print logo in yellow appears at the bottom. During the second half of the logo's duration, several strikes of lightning appear through.
Technique: Computer effects.
Audio: A futuristic new-age theme ("Message From The Cosmos" by Kitaro) with the sounds of three thunderclaps in sync with animation.
Availability: Seen on later releases from the company. [Examples?]
