American Egale Video (Canada)

(Early-Mid 2000s?)



Nicknames: "Cheesy Eagle", "Egale", "America in Canada", "Google Images Rush Job"

Logo: On a black background, we see an eagles head fade in with the words "American Egale Video" on the left, with the text in the traditional American colors of red, white, and blue respectively. As the logo is about to end, we see the words "The Finest In American Cinema On Video" on top of the eagles head in red; and the gray text "Distributed By Tonnapincu Entertainment New Brunswick, Canada" on the bottom cut in.

Variants:

FX/SFX: The eagle fading in, the text cutting in, the logo fading out.
 * There is a farther back widescreen variant spotted on Kronos.
 * A version that lacks the red and grey texts is seen on The Cattle Wranglers.

Music/Sounds: An unknown majestic fanfare, which sounds like the Australian Broadcasting Company Radio fanfare.

Availability: Was spotted on a Canadian public domain DVD of Plan 9 from Outer Space, while the variants were found on its releases of Kronos and The Cattle Wranglers. There is very little information about this company and its titles are extremely hard to come by (hence their Canadian origins). Some have shown up at local libraries and may be found at dollar stores and pharmacies in DVD bargain bins.

Editor’s Note: This logo looks extremely cheap, like the person who made it just took an eagle image and added text in Windows Movie Maker or Microsoft Office PowerPoint. The whole thing looks like a rushed job, especially considering there's a copyright symbol next to the eagle and the spelling mistake of "Eagle" as "Egale"! This might take Artisan's (Now Lionsgate) crown as the cheapest logo of all time. However, there is a logo that is much cheaper than this.
