Caballero Control Corporation – 1980s Logo T-Shirt
In the early VHS era, Caballero Control Corporation was part of the underground machinery that defined adult film culture before the internet flattened everything. Operating in the 1980s, the company’s name and logo carried a distinctly analog authority — bold typography, corporate seriousness, and just enough irony to signal that this was business and rebellion.
Like many adult studios of the time, Caballero Control existed in a world of video stores, mail-order catalogs, clamshell cases, and whispered recommendations. For queer audiences especially, these tapes often represented access: desire recorded, preserved, and circulated when visibility was still hard-won and highly controlled. The branding mattered — logos became shorthand, a way to recognize taste, tone, and attitude without saying too much out loud.
