Larry Santiago Productions was a Filipino film production and distribution company based in Manila with branch in Cebu City and founded in 1956 by Larry Santiago.

1st Logo (1956-1959)
Logo: On a white-shadowed background, we see an moderate close-up shield with the words "Larry Santiago" in a cursive, hand-drawn font. Behind a text we see a camera, behind a camera we see 2 letters (LJ), under the text we see a ribbon saying "PRODUCTIONS, INC." and above the shield's outline we see 5 stars. Sometimes, the text "PROUDLY PRESENTS" would fade in.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: A 3-note fanfare.

Availability: Uncommon in the Philippines. Seen on their films of the time, such as Ang Lo'Waist Gang at si Og sa Mindoro and Habagat sa Tag-Araw.

2nd Logo (1959-)
Logo: On an optical background, the icon and the shield fades-in, then the text "Larry Santiago Productions Inc." fades-in also.

Technique: Limited Animation.

Music/Sounds: Same as the 1st logo.

Availability: Extremely Rare.

3rd Logo (1978-1980)
Logo: On a black background, we see the shield from before, but instead of yellow and green, it's red all over its details. It zooms in very slowly mainly beacuse it's far away from the screen and then it jarringly cuts to the opening scene of the movie.

Technique: Just the zoom in.

Music/Sounds: Same as above.

Availability: Extremely rare, you can find this on Mga Ani ni Angelita and other movies from the time.

Legacy: The red logo zooming in with the black background and silence will get some, but it's just cheap.

4th Logo (1979)
Logo: On a blue smoked black background,we see the shield from before, but its outline is now green and there's no text nor ribbon. Suddenly, The text Larry Santiago on yellow, zooms out from the left side of the screen. Once it stops on the shield, the ribbon with the text "PRODUCTIONS INC, in orange and yellow, appears fading from the left on the button of the shield.

Technique: The zooming in, the formation of the ribbon.

Music/Sounds: An extended version of the 3 note fanfare.

Availability: Seen on Roberta.

Legacy: The choppy animation and the blue smoky background may bother some, however the cheesiness may dedicate its used-to-technique.
