Gaumont
1st Logo
(1908-1920)
Nickname: "The Gaumont Daisy"
Logo: We see a stylized daisy. "Gaumont" is written inside. Sometimes, "FILMS" is shown above, and "CINEMA" is shown below.
Variants:
• The logo appears on an experimental Chronochrome film made in 1912. Chronochrome was Gaumont's three-colour additive process used from 1912-1913. Throughout the logo, it slightly changes in hue, demonstrating the technique.
• There's an orange/golden version seen on the 1915 silent film _L'embusqué._
• At the start and end of some films, the logo is at the bottom of a stylised frame, the frame usually has french text with the title of the film and who directed it (Opening) and/or Fin (Closing).
FX/SFX: None. The changing hue in the variant.
Music/Sounds: Possibly the opening theme of the film. Silence for the color variant.
Availability: Ultra rare. It appears in cartels of cinema from Gaumont since 1908 to 1914, and appears on the short film _L'embusqué._
Editor's Note: None.
