2nd Logo (2002-????)

(Logo starts at 0:42)

Logo: We start off with drumsticks hitting a drum when suddenly a comical flash pops up revealing a dog jumping through the drum (exactly like the first logo) with the same flash behind it and it freezes. The image then zooms out and the text "Una Produzione" appears on top of a thin border that surrounds the image. Lastly, the text "MELAMPO CINEMATROGRAFICA" then appears on the bottom of the text.

FX/SFX: The drumsticks hitting the drum and the dog ripping through it.

Music/Sounds: A jolly circus-like tune.

Availability: Seen on Italian films at the time, including the 2002 version of Pinocchio.

Editor's Note: None.
