Technique: Traditional animation.

2nd Logo (1956-Late 1950s)

Visuals: It first fades to a picture of a stone carving consisting of five singing children holding a type of cloth, all while there are two sets of white transparent rings emitting from the middle of the screen. As it fades in, A white square fades in from the center and zooms in for a short time while having a blur effect. When it stops, the initials "S.P.F." with two white 4-pointed stars zoom on the top corners zoom appear and zoom out until it fits within the square. It stays static for a few seconds until it eventually slowly starts to fade out, as "PRESENTA" fades in the middle and quickly zooms in, stopping for a while. The logo finishes when "PRESENTA" zooms in for the last time towards the screen.

Technique: Cel animation and camera-controlled animation.

Audio: Same as the previous logo.
