1st Logo (1956-1965)
Logo: We pan from a tower enlightened by multiple spotlights. The panning stops when we see a cinema sign with the company name written like this:

PRESENTA
Later, a spotlight appears illuminating the text.
Technique: Live-action.
Music/Sounds: A bombastic fanfare of trumpets led by a drum and a cymbal.

2nd Logo (November 5, 1963-1965)
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
