Lucky Red Distribuzione

Background: This 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.

(1988-present)

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.

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.

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.

Music/Sounds: A calm piano tune that crescendos into a string fanfare, which then re-adds the piano into it. This may or may not appear in the theatrical version of this logo.

Availability: Common on both theatrical and home video variants. Mostly found on films (Italian and foreign) that are released by this company.

Editor's Note: None.
