Nicknames: "The Spanish Eyes of Doom", "Choppy Outerspace", "Darth Vadimon", "Fabrica's Older Brother", "Spanish Galaxy From Hell", "The Low-Budget Nightmare"
Availability: Very rare, despite being seen on many early VHS/Betamax/Video 2000 tapes of various Spanish films in Spain at the time. This includes tapes of the 1970 movie <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1TioBJ5Uws" target="_self">Hola, Señor Dios</a> and of the 1982 movie Depravacion. It was used on Luto Riguroso, El Invernadero, and Regreso del Mas Alla as well. Pictures of these Vadi-Mon VHS tapes (mostly their covers) have been seen on the Internet. Hola, Señor Dios can be found on YouTube.

Logo: We fade to a space galaxy background. We see a pair of disembodied, dark eyes open and look straight at us. This cuts to a shot of Saturn's rings, which in turn segues into a wide shot of the planet itself. This cuts to a shot of Saturn and it’s moons, which fades into a slightly different space background than before. Then the VADI-MON logo (which are three stripes, one red, one green, one blue with a cream outline and the middle part squashed into one line with "VADI" on top and "MON" on bottom, both in bubbly letters and in cream color) appears out of nowhere, zooms in and then moves up as it is close to the screen. The logo then cuts to black.
FX/SFX: The eyes opening, fading in, cutting in, and segueing out of everything, and the zooming in of the VADIMON logo.
Music/Sounds: A low-budget, yet oddly soothing smooth-jazz ditty done on a synthesizer (potentially an organ or an accordion as well) and a saxophone.

Editor's Note: The entire logo has not aged well, with poorly done low budget effects. It's also been known to scare a few people due to the eyes (akin to the Fabrica logo).
