Colombus (France)

(1980's) Nicknames: "The Statue of Liberty (with American Clothes)", "Cheesy Colombus", "French Columbia & Coca Cola Rip-Off", "The Most Blatant French Logo (aside from Initial Home Video)", "Coca-Columbia"

Logo: We see various closeups of a drawing of the Statue of Liberty, wearing an American dress. After these closeups, we see the whole statue at the right. Then the word "Colombus" in the Coca-Cola font scrolls down at the left and stops. The logo fades out and "presente" appears.

FX/SFX: Not only this logo has basic animation...

Cheesy Factor: ...but it's actually a literal ripoff of Columbia Pictures (as you can see, the Statue of Liberty is noticeably representing the lady of the Columbia logo), and the blatant use of the Coca-Cola font for the company's wordmark makes this even more blatant!

Music/Sounds: A rhythmic synth string theme.

Availability: Spotted on a French VHS of The Kid with the 200 I.Q.

Scare Factor: None. This may cause some laughs due to the blatantness of the logo.
