Gente de Cine C.A. (Venezuela)

Logo descriptions by SnowflakesOmega

1st logo

(1974?-197?)

Nicknames: "Venezuelan UFO"

Logo: On a blue background, yellow pieces of an abstract circular logo with bold lines on the sides begin appearing one-by-one, while a shaking effect occurs. Once the pieces come all together, extra circular borders pop in behind the logo and the words "GENTE DE CINE C.A." appear below.

FX/SFX: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: An ominous, quite jazzy ascending synth theme.

Availability: Seen on early films by the company, including La quema de Judas.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd logo

(197?-1980s)

Nicknames: "Venezuelan UFO II", "Colombiana de Television's Neighbor"

Logo: On a red background, two white circular borders appear and "shake" one-by-one while two bold lines emerge from the vertical sides and twist near the center of the inner circle. The lines quickly disappear, while another group of lines emerge from the center of the circular borders and twist to the vertical sides before disappearing in a similar fashion to before. The same set of lines from the beginning appears again in a similar animation, before the finished logo flashes quickly and obscures the forming logo. The forming logo then vanishes into the finished one, while the text "GENTE DE CINE C.A." zooms out below.

Variant: There was a version which has the logo elements in yellow.

FX/SFX: Similar 2D animation to the previous logo.

Music/Sounds: A futuristic and loud warbling UFO-like sound for the majority of the logo. A few films have it silent.

Availability: Seen on films released by the company after the late 1970s.

Editor's Note: This logo is considered as creepy for some Venezuelans due to the startling, unpleasant UFO sound and the flashing animation.
