SAV (Spain)

Logo description by PAV123

Background: SAV (short for "Sociedad Anónima del Vídeo") is a Spanish video distributor that was formed in 1982. It was an independent label until it was purchased by Grupo Planeta in 1999 and rebranded as SAV-DeAPlaneta Home Video. The company became Emon Home Entertainment in 2008 after they acquired SAVOR (one of their subsidiaries) from Group Planeta. The company continues to operate under the Emon moniker (as well as SAVON and DeAPlaneta.)

(1990s)

Logo: On a background resembling rough wallpaper (with a sand-like color), three vertical rectangles drop down. The first two are yellow and green and they drop next to each other, while the third is red and it stops beneath the yellow rectangle. The black letters "S.A.V." slide in from the right, and a black line slides in from the opposing side, stopping under the rectangles. The shapes then disperse (in order, line, green rectangle, yellow rectangle, red rectangle and the text). As the shapes move, 3D shadows of the objects are left behind.

FX/SFX: The shapes sliding.

Music/Sounds: A four note synth theme. The shapes fall in sync with the music. When the line stops, a clank is heard, then a synth buzzing noise. Faint whooshes are heard as the shapes disappear.

Availability: Seen on a Spanish VHS of Magical Mystery Tour. Might've also been seen on other SAV tapes (given their expansive library) prior to 1999. Also seen on Spanish VHS of Sylvanian Families.

Editor's Note: None.
