Logo (December 4, 1951-March 14, 1958)
Visuals: Fading in, there is a partial silhouette of a miniature model of the David statue (a sculpture created by Italian sculptor, painter, architect Michelangelo) against a cloudy background. A set of spotlights illuminate the front of the statue, whereas the company name "Times New Roman-INCOM" appear from the right side and rotate around the model until it can no longer be seen. The texts appear to have a fading effect from right to left. After a few seconds, a small cursive " Kunstler Script " fades in front of the model.

Variant: There exists an early version where the texts are more flat and don't have a fading effect.

Technique: Practical effects and chroma-keyed effects.

Audio: A majestic rising orchestral piece with bells tonging. Audio Variant: The early version uses an organ and bell tune performing the same melody.

Availability:
 * The standard version was known to appear in a handful of company-distributed and produced films such as Divisione Folgore, L'ultimo amante, Sins of Cassanova, The Bigamist, and He Thief, She Thief.

Visuals: Another silhouette of a similar model is seen against a more colorized and puffy cloudy background. A set of spotlights then illuminate the entire model after a few seconds, which is then followed by a white "Times New Roman" on the left and a white "Times New Roman" on the right, both having a 3D biconcaved texture, fading in right next to the David model. Finally, a different cursive " Kunstler Script " wipes in front of the model.

Technique: Practical effects and cel animation.

Audio: Same as the previous logo.
