Background

Gloria Film was a West German film production and distribution company established in 1949 by Ilse Kubaschewski.

1st Logo (October 7, 1952)

Logo: On a moving sunburst background, we see a big "GLORIA" in a serif font sitting on top of a stylized arc against another moving sunburst pattern. The "GLORIA" lets off a shine on the left, while "FILMVERLEIH" appears within the arc letter-by-letter. After a few seconds, a black box with a white outline and "ZEIGT" in a sans serif font fades in against the suburst pattern.

Technique: Cel animation.

Music/Sounds: The film's opening theme.

Availability: Seen only on Bis wir uns wiedersehn.

2nd Logo (December 16, 1955-1972)

Logo: We see some clouds zooming in, to show an emblem on a spacefield saying "GLORIA" on top of the emblem, and "FILM" on the bottom. Finally, on the bottom of the emblem, we see "zeigt" in cursive.

Variant: A black-and-white variant exists.

Technique: Motion-controlled animation.

Music/Sounds: A triumphant horn theme playing through the whole logo.

Music/Sounds Variants: Unknown

Availability: Very rare; mainly seen on films they've produced and distributed as well as German releases of foreign films. It made its debut appearance in a German print of the American film Hell's Outpost.
