Videoman's primary purpose was to distribute [[MGM Home Entertainment|MGM/UA Home Video]] titles for the Argentinian market, and for a short time, it also has offices in Chile and Spain, while Legal Video's primary purposes was to distribute the titles that Aries Cinematografia handled in theaters. This was changed in 1986, when the latter label began distributing content from [[20th Century Fox Home Entertainment|CBS/FOX Video]] and [[Hanna-Barbera]], while setting up a children's arm "Video Niño" to handle children's titles
'''Gativideo S.A.''' was formed on April 1, 1987 when Aries went into financial troubles, to be headed by Manuel Pablo Venacio, Luis Saverio Fortunato Scalella, Luis Alberto Scalella and Jorge Horacio Scalella, which are the company's brothers. with [[Legal Video]] and Videoman Internacional serving as brands of the company.

Those brands phased out in 1989, and Gativideo began using its own logos.
 
The main company itself was formed on April 1, 1987 when Aries went into financial troubles, to be headed by Manuel Pablo Venacio, Luis Saverio Fortunato Scalella, Luis Alberto Scalella and Jorge Horacio Scalella, which are the company's brothers. with [[Legal Video]] and Videoman Internacional serving as brands of the company. This was expanded in 1988 by signing an agreement with [[Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment|Disney]] to bring their titles to the Argentinian market. Those brands phased out in 1989, and Gativideo began using its own logos.


Its primary purpose was to distribute 20th Century Fox, Disney, and until 1991, MGM/UA Home Video titles for the Argentina market. In 1992, the owners created a sister label for low-budget films, [[Intercom Entertainment]], even though it was dissolved by two years, and Gativideo would be the second most important label, becoming one of the most successful majors. Gativideo, along with rival [[LK-TEL Video]] was dissolved by itself in 2009 due to low sales and demand, and a new company Blu Shine S.R.L. began to take over distribution of the titles previously held by Gativideo, as well as Columbia TriStar's output, the venture lasted until 2017.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, a black sun with an orange outline appears with a {{color|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 {{color|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 {{color|yellow}} appears at the bottom. During the second half of the logo's duration, several strikes of lightning appear through.
 
'''Technique:''' 1980s computer effects.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' A futuristic new-age theme ("Message From The Cosmos" by Kitaro) with the sounds of three thunderclaps in sync with animation.
 
'''Availability:''' Ultra rare. It's found on the 1987 film, ''Munchies''.
