Background
Nacional Cinematografica was a Mexican Film Company founded in the Late 1950s by Mario A. Zacarias.
1st Logo (December 28, 1967)
.png)
Logoː We first see a black background, then it transitions to a statue of a leopard with a ring at the top that is on a pedestal, with a spotlight shining on it. The company name "NACIONAL CINEMATOGRAFICA S.A." in white wipes in below the statue, along with the word "Presenta" wiping in below the company name. It then gets engulfed by the black screen.
FX/SFXː The transitions and the text.
Music/Soundsː A bombastic trumpet fanfare.
Availabilityː Extremely rare. This was seen on El Camino de los Espantos.
Editor's Noteː None.
2nd Logo (Late 1960s)
Logoː We see white & gold clouds everywhere & the company name in orange, as well as "Mario A. Zacarias presenta" can be seen on 2 corners. The clouds reverse to reveal the statue from the previous logo, just from a different perspective on a black background.
FX/SFXː Reverse Live-Action.
Music/Soundsː Some bass noises, as well as a repetitive marimba ditty.
Availabilityː Very Rare. This was seen on their films during the period, such as El matrimonio es como el demonio and El mundo de los aviones.
Editor's Noteː The weird concept, as well as the music can unnerve some of the audience.
