1st Logo (2000s-)

Visuals: On a black background, we see a countdown that starts at 5 seconds. It stops counting when it reaches to 1 and it cuts to black. Then, we fade into a teal background with a film reel in the center. After some seconds, the reel suddenly zooms in and disappears, with many film strips appearing from all directions and rapidly heading to the center of the screen. Then the screen fades to white with the same filmstrips, this time appearing from the bottom and more zoomed in, going upwards. We zoom into one of them and we see the Zima Entertainment logo, which consists of a Z made by a colorful filmstrip, being formed by a laser. When it finally forms, it starts to shine from behind. After some seconds, the same laser makes the logo dissapear and forms the word "Presenta" written in white. Finally, it also disappears and the background slowly fades out.

Technique: 2d and 3d CGI.

Audio: A majestic fanfare, with the sound of a film projector running in the background.

Availability: Found on a 2005 mexican DVD of El increíble castillo vagabundo ( The mexican Spanish dub of Howl's Moving Castle).
