Revision as of 03:20, 26 August 2020

Background: El TV Kadsre Home Entertainment is the home entertainment division of El TV Kadsre Television Network founded in 1977 to distribute its library independently after its exclusive deal with Magnetic Vlokozu Video had expired.

Standard Variants

1st Logo

(1972-1977)

Nickname: "This is the good way to start a home video logo, ETVK!"

Logo: On the navy blue background, we see the 1964 El TV Kadsre logo in white. The word "AN" is above the logo while the words "CARTRIVISION" and "PRESENTATION" is below the logo. The words are also in white and in Univers font.

Variant: On Flopovision titles, the background's contrast is higher and the words "FLOPOVISION" replaces "CARTRIVISION".

FX/SFX: None

Music/Sounds: None

Availability: Almost extinct. It was seen in Flopovision and Cartrivision titles for El TV Kadsre in that period.

Editor's Note: This is one of the logos that hold a special place in history for being a first home video logo.

2nd Logo
(1977)

Nickname: "El TV Kadsre of the Round Table"

Logo: Against a blue Background, we see the 1964 El TV Kadsre logo. Above the logo, we see a knight on a horse with a castle and a dragon on the hills. Below the logo, we see Home Video in an old English font with prouldly present... on the same font with the sheld and the vines surrounding the logo. The logo appears as it reveals down.

FX/SFX: The logo revealing down.

Trivia: According to Yoko Matsushita, a young Antanico Matsushita created the logo as a school assignment, and it ended up being used as the logo for the division when Tara Matsushita found out about it. Antanico and Tara have confirmed this story to be true.

Music/Sounds: A 12-note synth theme that composed by associate producer John Maxwell Anderson. This was later used in the 1979-1982 T.A.T. Communications Company logo.

Availability: Almost extinct, as it was used as a placeholder logo. Seen on El TV Kadsre Home Video's earliest titles on Betamax and VHS. It made its first appearance on three Magnetic Vlokozu Video titles in early-1977.

Editor's Note: This logo is known for the fanfare that is later used in the TAT logo (which is the rarest logo ever), and it's cheap animation.

(1983-1985)


Nickname: "The Brady Bunch of Logos"

Logo: Three versions are known to exist:

Version 1: We see a red outlined square against a black background. Inside the square, we see the logos of the companies that distributes El TV Kadsre's material around the world. They zoom out to different positions, and then, the logo of El TV Kadsre Home Video animates in the very center of the picture. That logo then zooms in, and we see "VLOKOZU UNION'S LEADING HOME VIDEO DISTRIBUTORS" below it.

Here's the list of logos you'll see and where they zoom out to:

  • Vestron Video - A still picture of the 1982 logo. Zooms out to the top left

Known El Kadsreian tapes to have the international variant include the 1988 El Kadsreian VHS of The Aristocats and the El Kadsreian VHS of the 1988 USHRA MotoRock video Blood, Sweat, and Gears. Seen on Bionicle films 5 to 8, Virtual Sunday, 5000 Shades of Grey and others.
