Producciones Grovas

1st Logo (1937-1939?)
Logo: On a dark background, we see the Temple of Kukulcan (the main monument of the Chichen Itza), and behind it we see a rising sun. Under it is text saying: impact MEXICO. D.F. PRESENTA

Closing Variant: On Amapola del camino, the logo appears on a corner, which is similar to the opening variant, but "Es una" is above the sun, and "PRODUCCION" and "HECHA EN MEXICO" replace "PRODUCCIONES" and "MEXICO DF", respectively. In addition, "PRESENTA" doesn't appear in said variant.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the movie.

Availability: This was only seen on Amapola del camino (Poppy Road) and La tía de las muchachas (The Aunt of the Girls), which are long out of print.

2nd Logo (April 18, 1942-1948)
Logo: We see again the Temple of Kukulcan and the sun. But this time we see the sun with longer rays, and above the sun we see clouds and "GROVAS, SA.". Also, "MEXICO. O.F." has been dropped. Below the temple we see "LOS AMOS DE LA TAQUILLA" (which in Spanish means "The Masters of the Box Office").

Later Variants:


 * (1944): The clouds have been removed, "GROVAS, S.A." is moved to the bottom and in a different font, "Producciones", in a script font, has been added to the left side, and "MEXICO. O.F." has been re-added below the company's motto.
 * (1945-1947): The logo is darker and the sun is enhanced. "MEXICO. O.F." is dropped yet again.
 * (1948): The logo has been enhanced more, the script font is slightly moved higher, "S.A." has been replaced with "S.A. OF C.V.", which is stacked, the motto's font size has been decreased, and the sun looks more realistic.

Technique: None.

3rd Logo (September 7, 1949-Late 1960s)
Logo: The entire logo's looks is almost completely changed with the debut of this logo. The background is the rising sun. The temple is in a different angle and is closer to us. Above it is "GROVAS. S. A." with trails following it. Above that is "CINEMATOGRAFICA" in arch font. Below it is written a new motto, "CADA PELICULA UNA GAAN PELICULA" (Every Movie a Great Movie). "Presenta" is below.
