Background

Cinema Eclair (formerly known as Laboratoires Eclair) was founded on March 1907 by industrialists Charles Jourjon and Ambroise-François Parnaland and was significantly active in the late 1900s and early 1910s. The company setted up multiple offices in the United States including those in New York, Fort Lee, and Tuscon. After a devastating fire hit their Fort Lee office and clinging through financial issues, the company lost some of its biggest filmmakers including Émile Cohl and Maurice Tourneur. In 1922, Eclair ceased film production activities and went to making film cameras.

(1908-1918)


Logo: On a black background, we see a star with three zig-zagged arrows coming out from the left and right. Surrounding it with the arrows overlapping are two diamonds. The words "CINEMA ÉCLAIR" and "PARIS" are in between these two shapes and are synced to their sides.

Opening Titles: Within an ornate frame or border, two copies of the Eclair logo are above the title of a movie. The company's name, Eclair, in a cursive, fancy font appears on the bottom right inside of the frame.

Variants:

  • The standard version can also be seen in either a blue or green tint.
  • The position of the logo can vary within the title cards.

Technique: None.

Audio: None.

Availability: It was seen on Groslard ha buoni polmoni, Les tirailleurs anamites, and Gontrain et la voisine inconnue to name a few. Similar with other French companies at the time, their films are preserved by the Eye Filmmuseum and this logo may be retained on them.
