Boje Buck Filmproduktion

Background

Boje Buck Filmproduktion is a German production company founded by Claus Boje and Deltev Buck in 1992.

(1992-)

Logo: On a country landscape background, the screen fades in to a close-up of a detailed blue-white rabbit with a snake in its mouth and a predatory look in its eyes. The screen then slowly zooms away, revealing the rest of the rabbit and snake and a brown rabbit behind. Then on the left, "BOJE BUCK" and "präsentiert" with a black shadow under the text fades in. The upper text is black and in the Stencil font, with a red separation line and appears creased.

Variant: Starting around 2009, the logo was modified. After the screen has finished zooming out, the text splashes in and is slightly rotated. Also, the "präsentiert" below is removed. In addition, the logo's colors look contrasted and is zoomed out a bit further.

Trivia: The picture of the rabbit is actually a painting by German cartoonist and author Ernst Kahl, called Balsam und Gift. It originally had the rabbit with a tired expression, but he then released books titled the same name with the rabbit with the current predatory expression in the covers.

Technique: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the movie or none.

Availability: Seen on films distributed by the company, such as Knallhart, Wir können auch anders, Same Same but Different, Sonnenallee, Herr Lehmann, Bandyta, Measuring the World, NVA, and the Bibi & Tina films.

Legacy: This logo is infamous for its imagery, however, the subject matter seems to be more so the rabbit protecting the brown rabbit behind it from the snake.
