Background
Keystone Studios was a film studio founded on July 4, 1912 by Mark Sennett with backing from Adam Kessel and Charles O. Baumann. In 1915, the company became a production unit of the Triangle Film Corporation. Two years later, Sennett became an independent producer, leading to the studio's demise before closing after bankruptcy in 1935.

Visuals: On a blank screen, there is a white "K" inside an outline of a vase-like polygon with the words "THE KEYSTONE FILM CO." underneath.
Variant: An early version of this logo has the bottom text reading "KEYSTONE FILM COMPANY". The vase shape is also thicker.
Technique: None.
Audio: None or the ending theme of the movie.
Availability: It was seen at the end of their many movies during its time under Sennett with some of these films including The Bangville Police and Love, Loot and Crash. Surprisingly, this was kept on Blackhawk Films' reissue of the latter film considering said company's plastering habits.
