Background
Founded in 1937 by Italian expatriate Filippo del Giudice as a project to make an international film company, it ended up being a genuinely British company, producing films with Rank or on its own. It folded in 1955.
Logo (June 1938-January 11, 1955)
Visuals: We see a painting of London's Tower Bridge with some skyscrapers in the background. Then, in white, rounded letters, the words

Variant:
- On some films (mostly the ones distributed by Rank), the byline "F. DEL GIUDICE IN CHARGE OF PRODUCTION" would appear. The set of skyscrapers varies as well.
- In Technicolor films, the logo has a dark, moody look, with cold colours. The set of skyscrapers varies depending on the film.
Technique: The zoom out, which is quite rough.
Audio: The opening music of the movie.
Availability: It can be spotted on DVDs of old productions by this company.
