Background
Renown Pictures Corporation is a British distribution company formed in 1938 by film producer George Minter.
1st Logo (October 18, 1938-1960)
Visuals: Against a cloudy sky background, there is a pedestal with three horses and an angel/goddess with her wings spread out (actually the Greek goddess Nike). Written on the pedestal is...
PICTURES CORPORATION LTD.
The company name is unnecessarily superimposed on the screen.
Variants:
- There is actually a version where we actually see the pedestal in its entirety, at least for a few seconds, then the company name appears onscreen, each word fading in one-by-one, followed by the word "PRESENT".
- This logo was colorized by Four Star International around the mid '80s. It now has a brownish hue to it.
Technique: None.
Audio: None.
Availability: It was seen on Scrooge: A Christmas Carol.
2nd Logo (2009-)
Visuals: On a black background with a spotlight revealing a lavender ground is the 3D words "RENOWN PICTURES", with both words being far away from each other. The camera pans to the center of the words. A brief flash occurs, causing the background to turn into a lavender/white background. The statue from the last logo is seen in the middle of the words. The logo now reads:
A
RENOWN PICTURES
PRESENTATION
DIGITALLY REMASTERED © RENOWN PRODUCTIONS [YEAR]
Later, the words on the logo turn gold.
Variant: A black-and-white variant exists.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A bombastic fanfare, ending with a held choir note (a la the 1st Gameloft logo). It concludes with a short harp crescendo.
Availability:
- It can be seen on shows and movies distributed by them.
- It is currently seen on Talking Pictures TV reruns of their library.
- The B&W variant was also surprisingly seen on both the 2020 Sony Movies Christmas and December 22, 2022 Talking Pictures TV airings of Home for Christmas (1990), which was colorized.
- It also appeared at the start and end of a February 21, 2023 UK airing of Captain Apache (1971) on Talking Pictures TV.
- It also appeared at the end of a June 22, 2023 UK airing of the 1993 TV movie Shepherd on the Rock on Talking Pictures TV.
- It can also be seen on their dormant YouTube channel, where the logo is squished to widescreen.
