* Another later version has the logo play out fully, but a byline consisting of the white text "IVEX FILMS S.A.", as well as an altered Grupo Ivex logo appearing. The logo looks similar to the one at the time, but the rectangles are black and don't have any bars around them and the thorn is replaced with a similar design, with the thorn looking much rounder and fatter and on top of a white rectangle, containing the "Filmax" text. | |||

As it keeps zooming in, it reveals itself as a handwritten "L", which for its part reveals itself to be part of the word "filmax". While the word places itself in the center of the screen, the background gains a hazy blue/pink horizon below and a silver trail zooms in to reveal the words "GRUPO IVEX" in white. A filmstrip is drawn on the "i", dotting it. | ||
<u>Variants:</u> | |||
* When Grupo Ivex went down, or as an alternate variant, the logo removes the "GRUPO IVEX" animation by a mediocre job, as evident by the logo chroma-keyed and cut onto a still starry background, as well as part of the "f" disappearing. After the logo finishes, it fades to a still shot of the logo and the white text "PRESENTA" appear in a cheap star-shaped flash. | |||
* On VHS prints of older films, it might disappear via a page flip effect. | |||
