2nd Logo

(Late 1980's?-2000) Logo: Over a black-blue gradient-colored background, we see some lines fading from the upper side of the screen to downwards, when it's past the time of interest. Over it, there is a sparkle moving from left to right. The sparkle and the lines then fade to see a light purple scheme of a country (Costa Rica) and a abstract-squared yellow side, that is actually part of San José and Puntarenas at it's time. When the lines stop fading, a lavender shooting star appears over the country. Over the shooting star,a circled square in white appears zooming in and rotates to the center of the screen, blocking Costa Rica and the shooting star which is still shooting (obviously). When it stops, the text "TV" on an orange shadow and "2" on a blue one, unfold at the same time. The country then becomes striped, with the shooting star now being a nebula and it explodes, which whom we still only have a white background when the text's shadows are unfolding. When they stop unfolding, the Univision logo from the time and the text "UNIVISION" appear over the unfolded text. It then cuts to said logo.

FX/SFX: Everything in this logo, we don't have to describe everything again. All done in very cheap animation and CGI.

Cheesy Factor: Destroys the scale. Everything is nonsense here! We're seeing things that are blocked by another too quickly, and the CGI is just bad it adds to the cheesiness. The abstractness of the logo may cause a bit of the people epilepsy, but that's not just the problem. The text just appears and the logo itself is out of control, along with the subject matter!

Music/Sounds: A big band theme with a high-rated organ tune and some xylophones, following an announcer which says "Transmitting for all the national territory, Channel 2, Costa Rica's Univision." When the logo cuts to the Univision logo, it keeps playing and ends.

Availability: Extinct, as it's history has long-lost history, just like other Costa Rican logos. Check your PAL tapes before they disappear.

Scare Factor: Medium. Just depends on how you think of the things being out of control, being blocked by another and the abstract subject matter easily can give some kids nightmares, but the overall cheesiness of the logo and it's nonsense things can lower the scare factor to some people.
