Abril Vídeo: Difference between revisions

=== 1st Logo (1986?-1990) ===

{{YouTube|id=WGbDZ8pnWPQ}}

'''Logo:''' Over footage of fireworks at night, the Abril Video logo fades in with a white color and a barely-visible black drop shadow. The logo consists of a stylized tree with many outlined leaves, which is sandwiched between the text "'''abril vídeo'''" in a boxy font that's also segmented. The spaced-out text "apresenta" in a more generic font, quickly appears below after the logo fades in. After a few seconds, the logo and text fade out at different speeds, leaving the fireworks before they cut to black.

'''Availability:''' Very rare. It can be found on several Disney tapes from the time period, like ''Dumbo'', ''Mary Poppins'', ''More Tales of Pluto'', and more. The 2nd music variant was spotted on ''Pato Donald no Oeste''. It may have also possibly appeared on Fox and Playboy tapes.

=== 2nd Logo (1988-1994) ===

{{YouTube|id=F3f_4K35ayw}}

'''Logo:''' On a black background, the camera zooms out from a multi-colored metallic tunnel, changing colors as it reveals the Abril logo, now in {{color|green}}. As it zooms out, the inside turns blue, then silver, as several stripes retract. As the logo settles into place, the stripes reveal themselves to be the same "'''abril vídeo'''" text, of which the stripes turn {{color|green}} once they retracted. The tree then turns 2.5D (keeping a bevel effect) and the background fades to a dark grey background with barely visible Abril trees.

'''Availability:''' Rare, but more common. It debuted on a tape of ''Mickey's Christmas Carol'' before fully debuting 2 years later. It can be seen on all tapes from 1990-1994, like ''The Little Mermaid'', as well as more Fox and Playboy tapes.

=== 3rd Logo (1994-1999) ===

'''Logo:''' On a rotating and zooming space background, 2 large stone filmstrips fly across the top and bottom of the screen, each embossed with a white background with a filmstrip going up at an angle, as well as having a translucent green Abril logo on them. As we reach the end of the filmstrips, an additional one comes down from the top and shows a 3D Abril logo, colored in silver with {{color|green}} faces, coming up from the bottom of the screen and flying up. As it zooms into the screen, 2 additional silver/{{color|green}} monoliths come in from behind the camera and rotate down to reveal themselves as the same "'''abril vídeo'''" from before, but without any stripes in them. The tree then rotates a full turn before everything settles into place, the filmstrip background taking up the whole screen.

'''Availability:''' Uncommon. Seen on a Brazilian VHS release of ''Demon in the Bottle'', among other Disney, Fox, and Playboy tapes.
