Logo: On a red background, a square with a paper airplane with 3 stars inside appears, which zooms out and moves to the left. Then, the letters "P.", "A.", "C.", which are the company's initials appear and zooms in one by one, being right beside the square. Then, a set of text which reads:

presenta

rises up from the bottom.

Variants:

• On Scusi, lei conosce il sesso? The logo is sped-up.
• An alternate variant exists in La ragazza fuoristrada , where the initials slide in simultaneously from the top, along with the company's name sliding in front the bottom. Again, the pacing is sped-up.
• In-credit variants exist.
  • On La pista bulgara , The logo now consists of "P.A.C." sitting on top of the logo and "PRODUCTIONS" sitting below is superimposed against the opening scene.
  • The logo is similar to the former on Il quinto giorno and Ready to Kill , but "PRODUCTIONS" is ommitted.

Technique: Cel animation.

Music/Sounds: A slow-paced string theme which consists of a harp flourish, a 4-note xylophone alternation which lasts throughout the entire logo, another harp flourish when the initials are zooming and after that, a bell is heard.

Music/Sounds Variants:

• It is silent on Scusi, lei conosce il sesso and Bello come un arcangelo ,
• The opening theme of the film is used in La ragazza fuoristrada .
• On Gran bollito , the theme is lower-pitched.

Availability: Fairly uncommon; mainly seen on the films they've produced and distributed during its timespan.

• The standard variant debuted on The Colossus of Rhodes, and was last seen on Ciao Marziano.
• During the timespan, it was also seen on Scusi, lei conosce il sesso?, Blonde Köder für den Mörder, Roy Colt & Winchester Jack, La ragazza dalla pelle di luna, Bello come un arcangelo, The Nark, Convoy Buddies, La nottata, Mark il poliziotto, La legge violenta della squadra anticrimine, Il gatto dagli occhi di giada.
• The in-credit variants were seen on the aforementioned La pista bulgara, Il quinto giorno, and Ready to Kill.
