Narcisse X 4

(1 August 1983-8 September 1991)

The nearly-finished logo
The finished logo

Logo: There is footage of an American pekin duck with its head stretched out walking on a grassy field. While the duck rocks its head back and forth, the company name in a serif font and arced downward types in letter by letter, followed by "présente" popping in on the bottom right. After the duck briefly turns and walks away, a close up of the same animal staring at the screen is shown.

Variant: On the Amuse 3 block, the footage, without the text, is shown within a gold border against a blue-gray-blue diagonal gradient background. It peels away after the sequence is complete.

Technique: Live action and possibly cel animation.

Music/Sounds: A strange and unclear quack sound effect plays throughout the first sequence. On the second shot, the duck clearing its throat is heard.

Music/Sounds Variant: On at least a few French-dubbed prints of Around the World with Willy Fog, the music from the BRB Internacional logo plays over it instead.

Availability: Uncommon.

Known to have appeared on older French prints of Around the World with Willy Fog (Le Tour du Monde en 80 Jours) and Maeterlinck no Aoi Tori: Tyltyl Mytyl no Bōken Ryokō (L'Oiseau Bleu).
Also appears at the beginning of the Amuse 3 block on FR3.
