1st logo

(January 1st, 2001- )

Logo: On a blanck background, we see a clear green circle wth three dark green concentric circles. Inside there are the words "Flins & Pinículas", written in a somewhat strange font. "Flins" is in orange color, "&" is in black color and "Pinículas" in red color.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Only seen on theatrical and TV spanish releases of movies distributed in Spain by the company.

Scare Factor: None.

2nd logo

(Early 2000s- )

Logo: On a clear green blurry background with dark green concentric circles, several letters flash in the background, and them some circles of different colors, and some white rings move on the background. While all this is happening, the circle of the last logo is slowly zooming in the background, which stops when the others circles go away. Some lights suddenly appear, that form the words "Flins & Pinículas", in the same font and position as the first logo.

FX/SFX: The background, the letters flashing, the circle zooming, the other circles moving on the background and the lights.

Music/Sounds: A catchy jazz tune.

Availability: Seen at the start of DVDs distributed by the company, which are very complicated to find outside Spain.

Scare Factor: None to minimal, the jazz music might startle someone.

3rd logo

(April 10th, 2015, April 1st, 2016)

Logo: The same as the 1st logo, only that the logo is blue and the background has some blurry tones around the black background.

FX/SFX: None.

Cheesy Factor: The logo itself it's fine, however, the fact it plastered the Splash Entertainment logo in the spanish theatrical print of "Norm of the North" (which is the company that made the movie!) makes it a horrible logo.

Music/Sounds: None or the opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Seen on the spanish theatrical print of "The 7th Dwarf" and "Norm of the North".

Scare Factor: None, though is probably one of the worst cases of logo plastering ever.
