Logo (1997-2006)

Visuals: On a black background, a blue (or cyan) line descends from the top and forms "WARNER SOGEFILMS" alongside two lines, one of which draws itself above the text, and turns blue as the line comes down. Then a blue WB shield rotates above, and the Sogepaq "S" appears below, both with some sparks. The lines shrink to fit the words' length.
Variant: An earlier version of the logo exists, which takes place on a white background. The colors of the Sogepag "S" are reversed, "WARNER SOGEFILMS" is black, and the logos are 2D.
Technique: CGI. The earlier variant uses 2D animation.
Audio: None.
Availability: This appeared on European Spanish prints of Warner Bros. productions as well as Sogepaq titles that were co-produced with Warner; however, nearly all of them today use American prints on TV and video, or remove them on titles Sogepaq now fully owns. It can be found on The Others, including its American release. It also appeared on trailers for films distributed by Warner Sogefilms in Spain, such as All About My Mother and Talk to Her as well as on the Spanish trailer for Chicken Run. The earlier variant can be found on Barrio.
