Compañía Nacional Productora de Películas (Mexico)

(1931) Compañía Nacional Productora de Películas

Nickname: "Mexican Torch Lady, but without lady and torch", "Mexican emblem as a torch"

Logo: On a dark background, we see a drawing of an eagle with a snake in its beak (national symbol of Mexico). The symbol is displayed with a rather primitive, flickering style of animation emitting lines of light as rays (a la Columbia Pictures). The text above the symbol is:

La CIA. NACIONAL PRODUCTORA DE PELICULAS, S.A. de México

The L of "La" connects with the M of "México". Below the symbol we read presenta a. Finally, the logo zooms in.

FX/SFX: The rays and the zooming of the logo.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Only seen on Santa, although the company made films between 1929 and 1935.

Editor's Note: None.
