1st (known) logo (1949?-1987)

Nickname: "The Greek Bird"

Logo: We see black background that suddenly fades into blue-cyan shadowish. Then, a black, big and flat hexagon appears, which turns into gray. Then, fading in gold lining and brown coloring, we see a drawing of an giant griffon holding an profecy on a paper which says the company's name on greek, with some filmstrips on a weird line scheme bordering both of it's sides, inside the flat hexagon. We then fade to black.

Variant: A black and white variant also exists.

FX/SFX: Everything fading in.

Music/Sounds: A bombastic, villain-sounding Greek-like fanfare with flutes and drums, following a crashing ending.

Availability: Common Bordering on Ultra common. Seen on some Greek films from 1949 to present of their time. Examples are Papadistiki Kompania and Oi Ftochodiavoloi. Papadistiki Kompania can be found on YouTube.

Scare Factor: 2nd logo (1987-1990's?)
 * Medium to high for the original variant, the dramatic music combined with background fading in and jarring color scheme, nature and drawing may startle first-time viewers, mostly those who aren't used to it.
 * Increased to medium to nightmare for the black and white variant, the darkness and very ugly film deterioration makes this logo worse than the standard version.
 * However, it may vary for those who used to it, as it's still scary for some due to its nature.

Logo can be seen here.

Nickname: "The Greek Bird II"

Logo: On a black background, the yellow bird and rolling paper flies like animation, then flashes and the rolling paper opens and drawing, and the text "ΣΠΕΝΤΖΟΣ ΦΙΛΜ" are writing in the paper, and the ribbon is also drawing, then inside the flat hexagon is zooming out.

FX/SFX: Pretty much the things going on in the logo.

Chessy Factor: While we've got some actual animation in this one, it looks quite choppy.

Music/Sounds: Drums and the bombastic synth.

Availability: Uncommon. Can be seen on some Greek movies like Patris, listeia, oikogeneia.

Scare Factor: Low to medium. Since the music is loud it will startle a few, but it's tamer than the last one.
