Producciones Sotomayor SA

1st Logo (1956-1965)


Logo: We pan from a tower enlightened by multiple spotlights. The panning stops when we see a sign with the company name written like this:

PRODUCCIONES

SOTOMAYOR. S. A.

'PRESENTA'

Later, a spotlight appears illuminating the text.

FX/SFX: The panning and spotlights. It's completely live-action.

Music/Sounds: A bombastic fanfare of trumpets led by a drum and a cymbal.

Availability: It can be seen on some old films like-Camino de la horca, Ando volando bajo, Muertos de risa-or Calibre 44. All of them can be found on YouTube.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo(1963-????)
Logo: The logo starts with a close-up of a glowing neon tower. Suddenly we zoom out from the tower to reveal two signs on the bottom. The first sign reads "PRODUCCIONES" with "PRE" underneath, and the other reads "SOTOMAYOR" with "SENTA" underneath it. Together, they read:

PRODUCCIONES SOTOMAYOR

PRE SENTA

FX/SFX: The zooming and the light effects. Like before, this logo is live-action.

Music/Sounds: Similar as the 1st logo, with a different ending (similar to the Fox fanfare). In La edad de la violencia, the logo is silent.

Availability: Seen on films like-La edad de la violencia, Un par de sinvergüenzas. All them have been watched on YouTube.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (1967)
Logo: Same as the 1st logo, except the tower is a bit far from us, the spotlights are absent, the panning is a bit slower and the sign on the bottom is styled different and reads:

CINEMATOGRAFICA SOTOMAYOR S.A.

P R E S E N T A

FX/SFX: Same as the 1st logo, but the panning is slower and minus the lights.

Music/Sounds: A drumbeat intro similar to the Fox fanfare followed by a fanfare similar to the last logo.

Availability: Seen in 6 días para morir.

Editor's Note: None.
