EuropaCorp is a French movie studio founded by Luc Besson in 1992 as "Leeloo Productions". It was renamed to its current name in 2000 after Besson's old colleague, Pierre-Ange Le Pogam, joined the studio. The two separated in 2011 over creative differences.
In 2019, the company entered an indefinite hiatus after sexual allegations were made against Besson, and as a result, its American subsidiary filed for bankruptcy protection. In February 2020, EuropaCorp's shareholders (Besson's business firm Frontline, and Chinese film studio Fundamental Films, who acquired a 28% stake in the company in 2016) reached a financial agreement with Vine Alternative Investments, which saw Vine purchase 66% of the company with the two other shareholders remaining with 10% each.
EuropaCorp has only released one film since, a spin-off to the Arthur film series called Arthur, malédiction; however, another feature, Dogman, is scheduled to be released on September 27, 2023.
Logo: Just the text "EUROPA présente" on a black background, depending on the trailer.
Technique: None.
Music/Sounds: The opening of the trailer.
Availability: Only seen on the trailers for Yamakasi and 15 août. It may have been a placeholder for the next logo.
Logo: Under a night sky with shimmering stars in the far, we move above a water surface with some dolphins swimming around. A light blue ovoid rises from the water and unfolds into a winged woman, who floats and flaps her wings in the middle of the big word "EUROPA", which spreads out by the water as the woman appears. The small word "CORP." fades in below. The body of water below them only reflects the woman.
Trivia: This logo homages the Greek myth of Europa, a sea nymph spirit.
Variants:
Technique: CGI by BUF Compagnie, who animated the 2002 Paramount Pictures logo and the 2003 StudioCanal logo.
Music/Sounds: A calm dreamy soundtrack with some musical instrument inclusions. On some films, none or the opening theme of the movie.
Music/Sounds Variant: On Unleashed, the logo only has sound effects on it.
Availability: Common.
This logo is brand new and has yet to be seen in its entirety. Please do not attempt to add any finalized descriptions until the logo has made its full debut. Any premature changes should be reverted immediately. |
