Logo description and captures by Logophile
Background: Gasparcolor was a color film system developed in 1933 by Hungarian chemist. Dr. Bela Gaspar, which used 3-color processes on a single film strip. It was used primarily in animation, notably by Oskar Fischinger, Len Lye and George Pal.
(1930s-1940s)
Logo: On a black background, a bird flaps its wings. The bird has a blue head, red body, yellow and green wings and a red, white and blue tail. It flies back as the giant words
GASPAR- COLOR
in a white thin font. Below on the left is "Natural Colour Photography" in a yellow cursive font and on the right, below, is the UK flag with the words "STANDARD KINE-LABORATORIES LTD. PRINT-" surrounding the flag in a circle. The bird flies into the second "O" in color. The bird moves its head left, right and left, then leans forward.
Variant: In Germany, the bird is a parrot with "Forben-Fotografie" on the left in the same cursive font. The right has a blue circle with points which reads "GEYER KOPIE".
FX/SFX: Hand-drawn animation. Pretty neat; definitely one of the best logos of the decade.
Music/Sounds: The opening theme to the film.
Availability: A real tough find; may appear on films from the 1930s-1940s that utilize the technology such as Colour On The Thames (1935).
Editor's Note: None.
