Background

Recorded Picture Company is a film company founded in 1974 by Jeremy Thomas that distributes independent features. The company is more director-driven and has close relationships with many directors.

1st Logo (June 16, 1978-1990's)

Visuals: On a black background, there are three uppercase letters, R, P, and C, in a written font. Underneath each letter is "RECORDED", "PICTURE", and "COMPANY", all in green.

Technique: A still graphic.

Audio: None.

Availability: Could be seen on theatrical prints of films from this era.

2nd Logo (December 1, 1993)

Visuals: The three letters from the previous logo are shown on a black background. The company's full name, following the same structure as last time, is seen being typed letter by letter with the words now in a different font as well as in a greener hue.

Technique: 2D cel animation.

Audio: None.

Availability: It appears on Little Buddha.

3rd Logo (December 13, 2000-)

Visuals: In this logo, the same letters as before are being written on a black background. Shortly after, a turquoise rectangle is seen typing the company's full name with the words structured the same as previously. Finally, the logo squishes and disappears.

Technique: 2D digital animation.

Audio: The sound of two hollow tapping, writing, typing, and zapping.

Availability: It can be seen on Brother, Don Hemingway, and First Love.
