Gourmet Video Collection (Uruguay)

(1980's?-19??)

Logo: We see a black, purple-blue toned starfield with some shining on it. The apricot text GVC zooms out the background, and multiple texts, that are the same thing (possibly trails of it) zoom out with it, to form the same GVC we've seen before. It zooms out completely. Then, the text with the same color, "GOURMET VIDEO COLLECTION" appears zooming in (a la V of Doom), with some trails, the same as the GVC text did. After a couple of seconds the text "PRESENTS" rotates and zooms in. It stops on the middle of the background.

FX/SFX: All in cheesy 2D graphics.

Cheesy Factor: Horrible animation, as unexpected from an Uruguayan Video company. The whole logo as well as the company itself resembles all the United States home videos combined all at once! Why did they manage to speak english on the logo rather than speak Spanish? Also, the texts aren't such as much transparent and the video quality is just grainy! How could they mess up this so bad?!

Music: A very repeatable guitar tune/riff with some muffled whooshes and a note of a trumpet, which preceeds a rock guitar playing a remniscent tune of "Eye Of The Tiger" to end it.

Availability: Extinct. Seen on their releases of the time, but it's unknown outside Uruguay.

Scare factor: Low to nightmare. If you aren't expecting the text zooming in and out that way, and the psychedelic background makes it worse, it would be a feast for the eyes.
