Hrvatska Kinoteka

Background

Hrvatska Kinoteka (English: Croatian Film Archive) is the national film archive of Croatia founded in 1979. It is a member of the International Federation of Film Archives and of the Association of European Film Archives and Cinematheques.

Logo (1970s)

Visuals: On a white background, a person with a hat, a suit, and a suitcase turns their head twice before running to a train that appears as the person is running. Then the train starts to drive when a city appears in the background. Then the city disappears as the train is driving and a museum appears before disappearing again for a village to appear with the back of the train shown in the corner. The village disappears once again leaving only the back of the train to appear at a different location of the village. Then a statue of a man on a horse slides in and wipes the village and the train. As the statue slides, a person from a far distance appears. Then the logo zooms to the man only to reveal another museum. Then the museum abruptly disappears to show the text "KOLO" in less than a second. Once the text disappears, yet another museum appears as a man with a long mustache waves his hat down at the audience. The man disappears to show the number "1896" in the bottom right corner. Then the background switches to a black background with the text

in a white Clarendon font at the top center. Then the text "PRIKAZUJE" (in the same font as HRVATSKA KINOTEKA) appears below the text.
