3rd Logo
(1957-1960's)
Nicknames: "Nightmare at Cocinor Street", "Tunnel of Horror", "Fincine's Little Sister", "The Screaming Logo II", "Huge Letters"
Logo: On a dark background with falling snow, with what appears to be a tunnel covered with a soft fabric, various light waves reflect from the fabric. After a few light waves, the company name comes up in a rapid motion. The name becomes bigger and bigger as it comes up, and eventually fills the whole screen before it moves off screen. Then, "PRÉSENTE" (this time not in rapid motion and much faster than the previous text) moves up screen. Then, the tunnel fades slowly out and we see the falling snow again.
Trivia: This logo was created by Russian-born French artist Alexandre Alexeieff, famous thanks to the invention of the animation technique of totalization.
FX/SFX: The wave effect and the texts, both made with the technique of totalization.

Variants:
- A <a class="external" href="http://rutube.ru/video/1a0790e0df49711c2a742a65592e0fd2/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">color version</a> of the logo exists, probably available on the film Trois de la marine. The background with the snow is blue, and the blanket tunnel is pink.
- On films distributed by Cocinor, like Wise Guys and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbxV2UxEZWk" target="_self">Pourvu Qu'on Ait L'ivresse...</a>, the cheaply chyroned text "DISTRIBUÉ PAR" appears before the name of the company. Also, the word "PRÉSENTE" is omitted.
- On some films distributed by the company (including the colored version) the word "PRÉSENTE" doesn't show up.
