Buena Vista Pictures Distribution: Difference between revisions

<u>Background:</u> The Buena Vista distribution company was established in 1953 after Walt Disney broke off his distribution deal with RKO Radio Pictures, using a logo in some form until about 1984. It is named after the street on which the Disney Studios reside. In 2007, the company was renamed and rebranded as "Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures".

===1st Logo (November 10, 1953-December 14, 1984)===

<u>Logo:</u> On a {{Font color|blue|blue}}/black gradient background, we see the text "DISTRIBUTED BY Buena Vista FILM DISTRIBUTION CO., INC." in {{Font color|powderblue|pale blue}}, with "Buena Vista" in a weird signature-like logo font, and the other words in a font that looks like carved wood.

===2nd Logo (August 7, 1981)===

<u>Nicknames:</u> "The Sparkles", "Zooms"

===1st logo (July 1-December 23, 1987)===

<u>Logo:</u> On a grainy {{Font color|blue|blue}} background, the words "Distributed by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution" are seen in a Times New Roman font, arranged in a stacked position in the center of the screen.

===2nd Logo (June 15, 1990)===

<u>Logo:</u> On a black background, a {{Font color|blue|blue}} triangle rotates along the side of the screen until it's split into two triangles, all while a {{Font color|blue|blue}} diamond grows below them, and they're positioned vertically. The end result is that top half of the screen is {{Font color|blue|blue}} and the bottom half black, with a black triangle on the top half forming a stylized "A" and a {{Font color|blue|blue}} triangle on the bottom half forming a "{{Font color|blue|V}}". On the top half, the black letters "BUEN" slide in left from behind the "A", while the "{{Font color|blue|V}}" slides left to reveal the {{Font color|blue|blue}} letters "{{Font color|blue|ISTA}}". After the "BUENA {{Font color|blue|VISTA}}" text is revealed, the black words "DISTRIBUTED BY" and "PICTURES" wipe in on the top half, while the {{Font color|blue|blue}} words "{{Font color|blue|DISTRIBUTION CO., INC.}}" wipe in on the bottom half. Finally, both "A"s in "BUENA {{Font color|blue|VISTA}}" receive proper strikes through them.
