=== Background ===
'''LK-TEL Video''' was a video label established in Argentina in 1986 in order to get help from The Coca-Cola Company to do commercialization of such films in the country, and then branched out into Chile in 1987 and Brazil in 1988, creating a regional South American video distributor. The company acted as the international distribution arm for RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video (now [[Sony Pictures Home Entertainment]]) as well as Vestron Video. The Argentinian arm became an affiliate of Video La Rioja S.A. on July 2, 1987, who also go on to launch a sublabel for low-budget movies, Videomega Entertainment. The Argentinian video arm became the first in the country to offer DVDs in 1998. The Brazilian arm eventually stopped distributing movies from Columbia TriStar in 1996 as the company set up its own Brazilian operations, and eventually be sold to Paris Filmes. The company was one of the major Argentinian video labels, along with [[Gativideo (Argentina)|Gativideo]] that went defunct in 2009.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see the blue text "{{color|dodgerblue|{{font|Arial Black|VIDEΩMEGA}} {{font|Arial|''ENTERTAINMENT''}}}}" flip towards the center of the screen. "{{color|dodgerblue|{{font|Arial Black|VIDEΩMEGA}}}}" is set in a large font and the "{{color|dodgerblue|{{font|Arial Black|E}}}}" and "{{color|dodgerblue|{{font|Arial Black|M}}}}" in "{{color|dodgerblue|{{font|Arial Black|VIDEΩMEGA}}}}" are italicized. "{{color|dodgerblue|{{font|Arial|''ENTERTAINMENT''}}}}" is much smaller and is beneath the former text. The logo for "RCA/Columbia Pictures Video swoops down from the omega symbol and it overtakes the entire screen. Note that the latter logo is slightly different than the more familiar one since the area where the Columbia Pictures logo is much larger and is completely flat below. The logo remains on screen for the remainder of the logo.
 
'''Later Variant:''' In 1991, the RCA/Columbia Pictures logo merely appears after the Videomega logo flips in.
