Cocinor (Comptoir Cinématographique du Nord) was a French production and distribution company.

Contents

1st Logo (December 17, 1938-1950s)	2nd Logo (Early 1950s-1957)	3rd Logo (November 26, 1958-1960s)

1st Logo (December 17, 1938-1950s)

Visuals: On a black background, there is a shining sea lion. The word "COCINOR" appears and shines below the sea lion.

Technique: Traditional animation.

Audio: The opening of the movie.

Availability: It can be seen on Hotel du Nord. Also appeared on Les Amants Maudits.

2nd Logo (Early 1950s-1957)

Visuals: Over a gray background is the emblem from the 1st logo, but it's not animated. Also, there is a ribbon that displays the full name of the company name. "Presente" is below the logo.

Technique: Traditional ink and paint.

Audio: None.

Availability: Can be found on the film La Route de Bonheur.

3rd Logo (November 26, 1958-1960s)

Visuals: On a dark background with falling snow, with what appears to be a tunnel covered with a soft fabric, various light waves reflect from the fabric. After a few light waves, the company name comes up in a rapid motion. The name becomes bigger and bigger as it comes up, and eventually fills the whole screen before it moves off screen. Then, "PRÉSENTE" (this time not in rapid motion and much faster than the previous text) moves up screen. Then, the tunnel fades slowly out and we see the falling snow again.

Variants:

A color version of the logo exists, probably available on the film Trois de la marine. The background with the snow is blue, and the blanket tunnel is pink.
On films distributed by Cocinor, like Wise Guys and Pourvu Qu'on Ait L'ivresse..., the cheaply chyroned text "DISTRIBUÉ PAR" appears before the name of the company. Also, the word "PRÉSENTE" is omitted.
On some films distributed by the company (including the colored version) the word "PRÉSENTE" doesn't show up.

Trivia: This logo was created by Russian-born French artist Alexandre Alexeieff, famous thanks to the invention of the animation technique of totalization.

Technique: Totalization method.

Audio: A strange, avant-garde score.

Availability: Appeared in some films like L'Année dernière à Marienbad, Les Scelerats and Le monocle rit jaune.
