Background
Renown Pictures is a British distribution company formed in 1938 by film producer George Minter.
1st Logo (1940-1960)
Nickname: "The Angel Statue"
Logo: Against a cloudy sky background, we see a pedestal with three horses and an angel with her wings spread out. 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.
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Was seen on Scrooge: A Christmas Carol.
Editor's Note: None.
