Background
Minerva Film was an Italian movie producer.

1st Logo (1940s)


Logo: On a zooming starfield backdrop, a white, 5-pointed star zooms toward us and dissolves into a bust of a woman wearing a crown (Minerva, a Roman goddess). Then, a white sunburst shape fades in behind the bust, and the words "MINERVA FILM", in a white, art-decó-esque font, appear zooming in, letter-by-letter, above the bust. After a few seconds, the smaller word "PRESENTA", also in white wipes in below the bust's head. Lastly, after a few seconds, we fade out.

FX/SFX: The starfield zooming in, the star appearing and dissolving, the bust appearing, the sunburst shape fading in, the text appearing.

Music/Sounds: A snare drum roll followed by a trumpet fanfare.

Availability: Appeared in Avamto a Lui and Roma città aperta.

Editor's Note: TBA.
