Pathe' would operate on its own through around 1930, with RKO through around 1932, then essentially merge with RKO in the US, but stayed operational in Europe. Lasky/Famous Players was the forerunner of Paramount Pictures, which absorbed Artcraft. Carl Laemmle was Universal Pictures until it went broke in 1936. Ditto William Fox, whose Fox Film got an updated logo around 1929 and who also went broke, selling out to 20th Century Pictures in 1935 (the 'William Fox Presents' in the last clip is from "Sunrise", his 1927 Oscar-winning silent). Goldwyn Pictures started when Samuel Goldwyn was sacked at Paramount, then swindled out of his self-named company, which merged with Metro Attractions in 1923 and added a small outfit, Louis B. Mayer Productions, in 1924, thus becoming MGM. First National merged with Warner Brothers in 1927; films were made under the FN name by Warners through the mid-30's and 'A Warner Brothers-First National Picture' was common on Warner films through the mid-50's. CBC Sales was the forerunner of Columbia Pictures. Gaumont has operated in France since the 1890's and is likely the oldest continually-running studio.
@@TommylikestoplayRobloxonhisMac How is it not weird? Most of the other logos are alot more stylized, and also the music is very swingy and upbeat for the time.
It is the Decla logo, also the exact same company that made "The adventures of Dr. Caligari", a German horror film, which is most likely the first film ever to use the Dutch Angle or Deutsch Angle.
