Almi Pictures Productions

Logo description and captures by Eric S. and V of Doom

1st Logo (1981-1983) ALMI Films Nickname: "Almi Shield"

Logo: Against a black background, a blue "ALMI's" and a blue "FILMS'", in a similar font from after, streak in from the top and bottom of the screen and meetin the center and flash brightly. Then, two sparks form a bronze frame from the top and bottom of the text, traveling clockwise. The finished product shines with a few "pings". A trademark symbol appears at the right corner of the shield.

Variant: It has been said that there was a variant featuring the text "ALMI CINEMA 5 FILMS", although any on-screen has appeared out yet, there are print versions on some adverts.

FX/SFX: Early '80s quality animation.

Music/Sounds: A deep synthesized jingle, with a few high-pitched notes to go along with the "pinging".

Availability: Very rare. Seen on foreign prints of Spaceship (AKA: The Creature Wasn't Nice).

Scare Factor: Low.

2nd Logo (1983-1987) Almi PicturesAlmi Pictures (1984)Almi Pictures Productions

Nickname: "Linewriter Block"

Logo: On a dark blue background, we see 3D red stripes forming the word "ALMI". When the forming is complete, the logo starts to shine twice. Then a rectangle zooms out from nowhere, and places itself alround "ALMI" and the word "Pictures" in cursive, draws under it and shines. "Pictures" is between two red lines.

FX/SFX: The forming of "ALMI", the shining, the drawing of "Pictures", all top '80s CGI.

Music/Sounds: A relaxing and synchronized synthesized jingle. Otherwise, the theme of the movie.

Availability: Rare. Can be seen on the VHS releases of La Historia Oficial (a.k.a. The Official Story) and The Rosebud Beach Hotel.

Scare Factor: Minimal. This would be a favorite.
