Logo descriptions and captures by Eric S.

Background: Capitol International was a short-lived Italian film producer distributor active between 1975 and 1978, with The Inglorious Bastards as their most famous flick.

1st (and only) logo (1968-1978)

Nicknames: "Red Circle", "Huge Capitol" "Rome D.C." "Italy as the 51st state"

Logo: On a black background, we see a huge red circle moving further away from us. Once it sets position the black background turns vivid red. After that, twenty-seven stars surround the circle appearing one by one, then over the circle appears a picture of the U.S. Capitol, under it "CAPITOL" in a fancy filmstrip (in a position reminiscent to MGM's). The word "INTERNATIONAL" appears letter by letter under "CAPITOL".

FX/SFX: The circle zooming, the stars and building appearing.

Music/Sounds: The typical 70's style fanfare.

Availability: Rare. Can be seen on the 1978 movie The Inglorious Bastards.
