Background

Lucky Red Distribuzione is a film production company in Italy. They also serve as as a distribution company for various foreign language films that are released through theaters or via DVD/home video in Italy.

1st Logo (1990-2000)

Visuals: On a black background, a stylized box zooms in. It is made up of four brushstrokes, two red (one light and one dark) and two yellow (ditto). A white line is drawn to the left and "LUCKY", in a western font, flies out on top of it, followed by another line and "RED" appearing in the same manner, albeit colored red. "DISTRIBUZIONE" fades in underneath in a sans serif font.

Technique: Either motion-control or 2D computer animation.

Audio: An arpeggiating synth-piano theme.

Availability: Seen on some Italian film releases of the time, such as La Capa Gira.

2nd Logo (2000-)

Visuals: Over a black background, there is the red/yellow box from the last logo drawing in line-by-line. Afterwards, the text "LUCKY RED", in its usual position but now in a sans serif font, fades in. "DISTRIBUZIONE" is then typed in underneath the logo.

Variants:

Sometimes, the text at the bottom reads "PRODUZIONE".
Earlier on, the logo just fades in, with "DISTRIBUZIONE" being animated normally.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: A repeating 3-note piano/string theme, ending with a cello hit. None for the early variant.

Availability: Seen on film releases in Italy. This is also used as a de-facto home entertainment logo on their DVD and later VHS releases.

+'''Visuals:''' On a black background, a stylized box zooms in. It is made up of four brushstrokes, two red (one light and one dark) and two yellow (ditto). A white line is drawn to the left and "LUCKY", in a western font, flies out on top of it, followed by another line and "RED" appearing in the same manner, albeit colored red.

-Logo: We open with a camera shot of a dusky sky with leaves falling downward. The shot zooms outwards to reveal shadows of a mountain range (complete with mists) with a forest just below. Then it starts to go downward, breezing past tree branches and tops of trees, until it stops on a surface of water (possibly a lake). On the surface are various leaves floating about and a koi fish /goldfish idly swimming through the lake. Four leaves of differing sizes (red, orange, yellow, and gold) start to move together. The leaves immediately turn into drawn-out lines that form the sides of a square. The words "LUCKY RED" appear on either side of the logo in white as the leaves-on-the-water background quickly dissolves into a solid black background.
+'''Availability:''' Seen on some Italian film releases of the time, such as ''La Capa Gira''.
-Logo variant: The home video version of this logo opens in the same manner, only the background becomes white with the koi/goldfish still swimming and a black rectangle forming around the logo name (with the words "HOME VIDEO" underneath it). There is also a still version of the logo on film trailers.
+===2nd Logo (2000-)===
-FX/SFX: Leaves falling from the sky. The fish swimming near the surface of the water. The four leaves moving towards one another to make the logo.
