Logo: On a dark background, we see the head of a lion (with its left half shadowed), which looks like it is roaring. A stylized "Studio" in white is projected out the mouth of the lion, while from there a dark "Films" is projected outside.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Only seen on Spanish serial Las Máscaras Negras. Furthermore, it was seen on a poster of the film El Otro, produced in 1919, and on the cover of some of the publications of the company's magazine.

Editor's Note: The lion, darkness, still nature and vintage quality could be disturbing for some people, but otherwise harmless.
