1st logo:

(2003)

Nicknames: "Mini Aplaplac"

Logo: On a black background, the white text "APLAPLAC" fades in, then the blue text "MINI" fades in behind it, three blue triagules (which are smaller than the text) fade in at the top of the text.

FX/SFX: The fadings.

Music/Sounds: A high-pitched version of a piece of the "31 Minutos" intro.

Availability: Seen on the first season of "31 Minutos".

Scare Factor: Minimal, the music can startle some.

2nd logo

(2004-2009)

Logo: On a black background, we see the blue triangles from the last logo at the top of the text "APLAPLAC", on a blue color, then Carlitos Lechuga (from 31 Minutos) appears, trying to tell a moral, and what happens next varies depending on the episode:

Season 2, Episodes 1, 2 and 3: The "A" falls on Carlitos.

Season 2, Episode 4: Carlitos is flying on a balloon, the triangle in the middle pops the balloon, and Carlitos falls to the ground.

Season 2, Episode 5: Carlitos sees that the "A" is about to fall, so he moves to the right, the "A" gets bigger and squashes Carlitos' neck.

Season 2, Episode 6: The "A" starts following Carlitos, he and kicks his mouth.

Season 2, Episodes 7 and 18: The "A" moves and Carlitos, again, moves to the right, and the "A" fastly hits him.

Season 2, Episode 8: All of the letters hit Carlitos.

Season 2, Episode 9: The text stretches and hits Carlitos.

Season 2, Episodes 10 and 16: The "A" falls, hitting the other letters in a butterfly effect, until the next "A" hits Carlitos,

Season 2, Episode 11: The letters start moving like a snake and, once again, hit Carlitos.

Season 2, Episode 12: The third triangle shoots Carlitos, but he appears again, only to be hitten by the "L".

Season 2, Episode 13: The triangles turn into a boomerang and they divide Carlitos in two.

Season 2, Episode 14: The "A" flies like a helicopter and cuts Carlitos' head off.

Season 2, Episode 15: Carlitos sees the "A" moving and runs through the screen at the top of the screen, as the other "A" hits him.

Season 2, Episode 17: The "C" turns into a rectangle, making the shape of a hammer, and hits Carlitos' head.

Season 2, Episode 19: A wire frame surrounds the logo, turning it into CGI, the letters then attack Carlitos on a Matrix parody, the whole logo then turns into a robot, but he gets kicked by Carlitos, the robot goes away crying, Carlitos then goes back to normal, but when he is about to tell the moral, he already forgot it.

Season 3 variants: TBA

Variant: A print version exists

FX/SFX: A mix of puppetry and chroma key effects. CGI is used in the "Season 2, Episode 19" variant of 31 Minutos.
