• 

Visuals: On a black background, there are 4 thick lines in the center of the screen, with a light moving to the right away from it. The lines begin to move and rotate, revealing a strange grey/blue circle-shaped object, with a spotlight shining across the screen. As the object rotates, the grey side opens up and rests as an right angle before "Sogepaq" fades in below, as well as "Distribucion S.A.". The logo continues to shine.

Variant: The early version of the logo had a Sogepaq/PolyGram byline.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: An ambient synth tune, with several sounds throughout its run. Sometimes, it's silent.

Availability: Appeared in Spain on the trailers of international products and on several self-produced films like Abre Los Ojos.

2nd Logo (2001)

Visuals: On a black background, there are the same shapes from the last logo rotating in from the center. The word "Sogepaq" rotates in, while the byline "Una compania Sogecable" wipes in. The logo shines.
