Background

Bavaria Filmkunst GmbH was a German film production company founded on February 11, 1938, with the political support of Berlin.[1]



1st Logo (April 25, 1940-February 28, 1945)

Visuals: Against a moving sunray background is a statue silhouette. A light slowly reveals the front of the statue, showing the head of the Greek goddess Athena. Shortly after, "BAVARIA-FILMKUNST" fades in at the bottom-right corner, followed by "ZEIGT" with a black glow fading in front of the text. It fades out altogether afterward.

Technique: A mix of live-action and traditional animation.

Audio: A triumphant orchestral fanfare with the sound of a gong at the end.

Audio Variants:

  • An alternate soundtrack comprising a rising brass fanfare was heard in Bravo, kleiner Thomas.
  • Einmal der liebe Herrgott sein uses a sentimental string soundtrack.

Technique: Cel animation.

Audio: The film's opening score.
