Renown Pictures Corporation

Background
Renown Pictures Corporation is a British distribution company formed in 1938 by film producer George Minter.

1st Logo (1940-1960)
Logo: Against a cloudy sky background, we see a pedestal with three horses and an angel/goddess with her wings spread out (actually the Greek goddess Nike). Written on the pedestal is...

RENOWN impact

The company name is unnecessarily superimposed on the screen.

Variants:
 * There is actually a version where we actually see the pedestal in its entirety, at least for a few seconds, then the company name appears onscreen, each word fading in one-by-one, followed by the word "PRESENT".
 * This logo was colorized by Four Star International around the mid '80s. It now has a brownish hue to it.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Was seen on Scrooge: A Christmas Carol.

2nd Logo (2009-)
Logo: On a black background with a spotlight revealing a ground, we see the 3D words "RENOWN PICTURES", with both words being far away from each other. The camera pans to the center of the words. A brief flash occurs, causing the background to turn into a /white background. The statue from the last logo is seen in the middle of the words. The logo now reads: A RENOWN      PICTURES PRESENTATION Times New Roman Later, the words on the logo turn.

Variant: A black-and-white variant exists.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A bombastic fanfare, ending with a held choir note (a la the 1st Gameloft logo). It concludes with a short harp crescendo.

Availability: Current.
 * It can be seen on shows and movies distributed by them. It is currently seen on Talking Pictures TV reruns of their library.
 * The B&W variant was surprisingly seen on a 2020 Sony Movies Christmas airing of Home for Christmas, which was colorized.
 * It can also be seen on their dormant YouTube channel, where the logo is squished to widescreen.
