1st Logo (December 22, 1950-July 15, 1968)

Logo: We see a rhombus with "Jadran" and a cursive "film" at the bottom. The cursive "F" is going through the letter "A" in the word "JADRAN". Below the rhombus is the cursive word "prikazuje".

Variants:

  • An early variant exists on Plavi 9 where the rhombus is absent and "PRIKAZJUE" is in a paint-like font.
  • In some instances, "PRIKAZJUE" may also be written in different styles.
    • U oluji, Koncert, Nasi se putovi razilaze and H-8 have "prikazuje" in a handwritten format, although the styles are different.
    • Some films including Samo Ijudi, Sreća Dolazi u 9 and Pogled u zjenicu sunca have "prikazuje" in a thin font.
  • Starting in 1960, "JADRAN" has now become thicker.
  • Some instances contain the logo with "Proizvodnja" above the rhombus.
    • Deveti krug and Da li je umro dobar čovek has "Proizvodnja" in a handrwritten style.
    • Sjenka slave is the only film that has "proizvodnja" in a thin font.
  • Most of its films don't contain any text notice around the rhombus.
  • the "f" in "film" may also differ handwriting-wise.
    • For instance, Opsada and Breza has the "f" curving between "A" and "D" in "JADRAN".
    • Svoga tela gospodar has the "f" curving behind the "D".
  • In Opsada, "PRODUKCIJA" can be seen above with a text notice saying:

U SARDINJI SA
Croatia filmow

  • A colorized variant exists on Imam dvije mame i dva tate where the background is blue.
  • On Gravitacija ili fantastična mladost činovnika Horvata, the logo is placed right next to the title of the film, with few text notices on the top and bottom.
  • On Svoga tela gospodar, the borders are noticeably thicker.
  • Dyaliscope and Totalvision versions also exist.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None or the opening theme of the film.

Availability: Uncommon, mainly thanks to its longevity lasting up to 20 years.

  • The early variant was only spotted on Plavi 9.
  • The standard variant can be seen on most Croatian films from the Early 1950's up to the late 1960's, where it made its debut appearance on U oluji, and made its final appearance on Gravitacija ili fantastična mladost činovnika Horvata.
  • The Dyaliscope and Totalvision variants are rare and both of which are seen on Signali nad gradom and Martin u oblacima, respectively.

2nd Logo (1970-January 17, 1973)

Logo: Against a yellow seashore, we see a dark lighthouse, which is constantly flashing on the sides, and towards the viewer. After the 4th flash, the words 'FILM U PROIZVODNJI PODUZECA" appears above the lighthouse. Which is then followed by:

JADRAN FILM
Z A G R E B

appearing after the 6th circle flash. And lastly, after the 8th circle flash, a white ring with the italic letters "JF" appears on top of the lighthouse. The lighthouse stops flashing after that.

Variants:

  • An in-credit variant exists on Kuda idu divlje svinje where the symbol and said text fade in against the opening scene of the episode.
  • On Putovanje na mesto nesreće, the symbol and text, now in blue, are paired with Kinematografi which reads:

KINEMATOGRAFI
ZAGREB

Above is the co-production notice saying "Film u proizvodnji poduzeca" in white. All of this is placed against a pink background.

Technique: Traditional animation.

Music/Sounds: A organ tune for the beginning with a gong and a triumphant fanfare for the rest.

Availability: Rare.

  • The standard variant has appeared twice, those being Jedanaesta Zapovijed and Kužiš Stari Moj.
  • The in-credit variant was only seen on the TV series Kuda idu divlje svinje.
  • The combo variant has only been spotted on Putovanje na mesto nesreće.
