LK-TEL Video (South America)

Logo descriptions byPAV123, Thisisanswer, and GeneralZolandBackground: LK-Tel Video (originally known as VideΩmega Entertainment) was a video label established in Argentina. The company acted as the international distribution arm for RCA/Columbia Pictures Video (later Columbia/TriStar Home Video) as well as Vestron Video. They've also distributed some Columbia/TriStar tapes in Chile and Brazil. The company is presumed defunct since there has been no input from it since 2006.VideΩmega Entertainment1st Logo(1989-1992)<iframe frameborder="0" height="207" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/c616e84dc0104b1f7474ee1ac00c39ef28f8d81e" width="275"></iframe><iframe frameborder="0" height="206" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/5d63618c5fb0bd4f5714b84a13ef25b030c4d035" width="275"></iframe>Logo: On a black background, we see the blue text "VIDEΩMEGAENTERTAINMENT" flip towards the center of the screen. "VIDEΩMEGA" is set in a large font and the "E" and "M" in "VIDEΩMEGA" are italicized. "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.FX/SFX: The flipping, the RCA/Columbia Pictures Video logo zooming in.Music/Sounds: A droning theme with some beeps thrown in.Availability: Seen on international prints of RCA/Columbia Pictures material.Editor's Note: None.2nd Logo(1992)<iframe frameborder="0" height="204" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/2334959138ef48291a940f88e3675f0576a1ba41" width="361"></iframe>Logo: We see the Videomega text from before (this time in aquamarine) swooping down from the top of the screen leaving behind some particles. It settles down in the center and a large slash forms beneath it.FX/SFX: The swooping, the slash. Typical late 80s/early 90s animation, but at least it's an improvement over the previous logo.Music/Sounds: A synth theme with a whoosh sound when the slash is formed below the logo.Availability: Spotted on Vestron Video releases in Argentina.Editor's Note: None._________________________________________________________________________________________LK-TEL Video1st Logo(1992-1996)<iframe frameborder="0" height="155" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/5eb6721e3066c607eff3a769e76b148c4c1de6e4" width="273"></iframe><iframe frameborder="0" height="154" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/8ad48d730d6dd66ae93b768f8b67a214ff134083" width="271"></iframe><iframe frameborder="0" height="154" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/b07a281ed85ec6b896722147a710659985f3a7f1" width="202"></iframe>Logos (in order):On a black background, we see 3 lines (blue, green and red) in a shape of a TV screen spinning around. In a blank at the bottom of the TV screen are the words "LK-TEL VIDEO S.A.". It continues to spin around until it stops in the middle.On a light-blue background, we see the LK-Tel logo from before (albeit with lighter colors and "VIDEO LA RIOJA S.A." beneath it) flip from the top of the screen to cover the background. The RCA/Columbia Pictures Video logo (later the Columbia-Tristar print logo) swoops from the center of the LK-Tel logo and eventually slides down as the white script text "Tenemos le mejor imagen" swoops from the center of the original logo.On a black background, 3 blocks in blue, green, and red zoom out and rotate with a trail effect. They start to draw the TV tube from before. When they stop, they spin around and move to the top of the TV tube as it zooms out. The same text from before rises from the bottom of the screen and rest in their usual position.On a black background, the TV tube from before slowly spins around as it goes to the middle of the screen. "LK-TEL" zooms in as "VIDEO" flips in the space of the TV tube. Blinking lights appear between the spaces the the tube and text.FX/SFX (in order):The spinning.The flipping.The moving blocks.The spinning, flipping and lights.Music/Sounds (in order):None, or a piece from Axel F.Same as above.A complicated synth tune.Same as VideΩmega 1st logoAvailability: Seen on RCA/Columbia Pictures Video releases in Argentina, or on Columbia/TriStar releases in Chile or BrazilEditor's Note: None.2th Logo(1996-2000)<iframe frameborder="0" height="213" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/7107b8caa7a53a206136f1632b1f664d8a221f73" width="376"></iframe>Logo: On a gray background, the TV tube zooms out one by one with the text following after.

A circle consisting of a multi-colored swoosh on top and a film-strip below surrounds the text and the whole logo shines. The company URL appears beneath everything in white.FX/SFX: The spotlights, the text animation, all aesthetically pleasing and good by Argentinian home video logo standards.Music/Sounds: Some whooshing sounds along with some synthesized notes followed by a synchronized moan.Availability: Seen on later releases from the company.Editor's Note: None.
