Background

In 1997, Malofilm changed into Behaviour Communications, and in 1999 to Seville Pictures, also known as Les Films Séville. In 2007, E1 took over the company and turned it into the distribution unit in Canada. In 2008 Séville took over Christian Larouche's Christal Films, which filed for bankruptcy earlier that year. In 2014 the international division was launched, intended to distribute indie films. Séville Pictures handles distribution of Francophone films: it plays basically the same role as Alliance Vivafilm (the division of Alliance Films, taken over by Entertainment One) and is located in Montreal, Quebec.

1st Logo (1999?-2008)

Nickname: "The Orange Half-Rectangles"

Logo: On a black background, we see a shadow writing out "SEVILLE" (in an Arial font, in white and spaced). Two orange half-rectangles are seen on the top and bottom with a line in the middle. The words "Les Films" fade in on the left side, and the words "Pictures" fade in on the right.

Variant: A still variant exists.

FX/SFX: Simple animation.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on any DVD or VHS release from Seville Pictures, as well as theatrical releases. The still variant can be found on the Platinum Disc DVD of Blind Fear.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (2009-2010)

Logo: We start off with the same animation as the first E1 Entertainment logo. However, the "E1" structure does not appear. After a few seconds, the logo animates like it would normally, but without the structure, and a white rectangle with light blue-green borders zooms out, with the letters "SEVILLE" zooming onto it as it appears. Then, a light blue byline appears below: "une filiale de E1 Entertainment". The rays in the logo continue to move until it fades.

FX/SFX: Parts of the logo zoom in.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Rare due to its short lifespan. Was seen on movie releases in Canada.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (2010-2015)

Logo: Same as the 2010 eOne logo, but "e" and "one" are changed to "seville", and "entertainment" is replaced by the same byline as the previous logo.

FX/SFX: Same as the eOne logo.

Music/Sounds: Same as the eOne logo.

Availability: Common.

Editor's Note: None.

4th logo (2015- )

Logo: Same as the 2015 eOne logo, but "one" is changed to "Séville", and "entertainment" is replaced by "Les Films".

Variant: There is an international variant reading "Seville International" (without the accented e) and the byline translated to English: "an entertainment One company".

FX/SFX: Same as the eOne logo.

Music/Sounds: Same as the eOne logo.

Availability: Current. The normal version is seen on King Dave and other Francophone Canadian films. The international variant can be seen on the European release of Ma ma, among others.

Editor's Note: None.
