1st Logo

(2011-2014)

Nicknames : "EpiBlender", "EpiBLAHs", "African Universal", "The Amateur Logo"

Logo : On a space background, a Universal-like shaped globe with "EPIBLAS" in front of it, both spinning. All of a sudden, the logo goes into center, and "PRODUCTION" appears without a clue, and spinning too.

Variants : There would be different types of text.

FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor : It's all CGI, which looks like it was made in Blender, Cinema 4D or even Corel MotionStudio 3D by someone with very little experience in computers.

Music/Sounds : A one-note tune accompanied by choppy whooshes.

Availability : Check the opening and closing of Djibloho, the video Recuerdos de Annobón por Barril Bestue and the spot for TV series Zulumenchi, among other videos released from 2011 to 2014.

Scare Factor : None to minimal, because of the music.

2nd Logo

(2012-)

Logo : We see footage of a whale diving head-first (though only its tail is seen) into an ocean. Three seconds in, the white text "EpiBlas Produccion" zooms in and seven seconds in the text turns into a black-and-white color. The text then fades out slightly before the footage does.

FX/SFX : The whale (live-action), the fading, the text....

Cheesy Factor : ...which looks like it was done by an amateur in Windows Movie Maker or Sony Vegas.

Music/Sounds : A soothing orchestral tune.

Availability : See background.

Scare Factor : None. If you get past the cheesiness of the text effects, this is a beautiful logo.
