Logo description by bigladiesman
Background: Neptuno Films is a Spanish animation company based in Terrassa (province of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain). At the beginning it was some kind of sister company to D'Ocon Films (it was founded by Josep Viciana, co-founder of d'Ocon).
1st Logo
(1994-2005)
Logo: We see an animated view of the sea at sunrise. Suddenly, an animated, happy-looking god Neptune in a cartoony form emerges from the water and with a movement of his trident magically creates from the water the blue words "Neptuno Films" (except from the T, which is represented by a shiny golden anchor). Neptune rests his right elbow on the letters, looks directly at the camera and winks.

Variant: Sometimes, the company website appears below the logo.
FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: Typical limited animation from D'Ocon Films, combining traditional cel animation with computerized elements. In Spain, some people call it "Viciana Style".
Music/Sounds: A triumphant synth jingle, combined by some water and whooshing sounds.
Availability: Rare. Can be seen on some Neptuno productions like Balin, Detective Bogey, The Three Little Bears and some airings and releases of Connie the Cow.
Scare Factor: Low. Neptune emerging from the sea all of a sudden can startle little kids, but he actually looks like a nice guy.
2nd Logo
(2005-)
FX/SFX: Simple animation, but a step up from the previous logo.
Music/Sounds: Same as before.
Availability: Uncommon. Seen on later Neptuno productions, such as Connie the Cow and Dougie in Disguise. Strangely, the short version appeared at the end of some episodes of Miffy and Friends on Noggin back in 2007, likely a mess-up on their part.
Scare Factor: None to low; the flash can scare viewers.

Logo: On a black-blue gradient background, many sparkling objects zoom towards the screen as an spinning yellow abstract sun comes into view, with curved ends and a bright center. As it reaches the top of the screen, it emits a bright flash as it unfurls and a blue background appears by an water effect. The tips of the sun, now forming waves, moves to the left as the yellow background fills up the white and"NEPTUNO" appears by an water effect in blue. This followed by "F I L M S" and a top of an box by the same effect and 2 lights on the bottom of the screen then collide together to form the URL. The name then flashes one by one as the waves move down and the logo rises up, in the mean time also inverting the colors of the URL. The box contains 3 waves in it.
