Cecile Co., Ltd.

Background
Cecile Co., Ltd. is a Japanese fashion sales company operating under the Nifty (Nojima) umbrella.

Logo (1984-1986)
Logo: We see a violet circle on a white background. Two arcs carve out from the circle, making a "C"-style shape. The formed logo then zooms out, as the text "Cécile co., ltd." appears below, with the telephone number info in black below it. Above is the company's slogan, "Il offre sa confiance et son amour.", in black serif.

Variants:
 * There exists a superimposed variant with the animation playing before it fades into the white background. The logo is also zoomed further back.
 * In one commercial, the logo is tinted in and there are two people posing as the arcs before these wipe in.

Technique: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: A piano note with women singing "Cecile", following another piano note with a quiet keyboard arpeggio and a male announcer saying "Il offre sa confiance et son amour". Music/Sounds Variants: Occasionally the second part would be omitted, leaving just the "Cecile" part.

Availability: Seen on early Cecile commercials from the 1980s.

Legacy: The jingle is widely remembered by Japanese residents of the era.

Logo (1986-1987)
Logo: We see a blue gradient background. Two arcs, one light blue and one, come out from the sides, while a red sphere zooms in at the center. The arcs move and form a diagonal oval, before these swirl into the "C" shape of the circular Cecile logo as the red sphere turns into plain purple and the background turns white. The text "Cécile co., ltd." and the slogan "Il offre sa confiance et son amour." rise up between the forming logo. The result is nearly the same as the former logo, without the telephone number.

Variants: Another version has a / gradient background which zooms out into the circle as the arcs carve out from the bottom. The texts then rise up as normal.

Technique: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: Same as before. Availability: Seen on Cecile commercials from 1986-1987.

Logo (1988-1994, 2003-2000s)
Logo: Just the still Cecile logo, mostly in violet over a white background, or in white over a background.

Variants:
 * There exists animated variants of the /white logo. One has the logo flipping in and the text rising up; another has the whole logo zoom in.
 * There exists an animated variant of the white/violet with the text initially appearing and the logo rising up.
 * Another animated variant has the logo zoom in superimposed on the ending frame of the commercial, before it fades into the white background.
 * There exists a variant that uses the logo on a black background.
 * There exists a superimposed variant of the /white logo.
 * In commercials since 2003, the URL was added below the logo.

Technique: None, though simple animation is used for the variants.

Music/Sounds: Availability: Seen on Cecile commercials from the time period. The company had a hiatus of making commercials during 1994-2003, so no logos were used back then.
 * 1988-1994: Same as before. In some commercials, it is shortened leaving just the "Cecile" part.
 * 2003-2000s: The "Cecile" part from the original jingle, followed by a re-designed chime with a different "Il offre sa confiance et son amour" male announcer.
