Famous Players Film Company

Logo (July 12, 1912-December 25, 1916)
Visuals: On a black background, there are two masks alongside a mirror or a simple oval, which reads:

PRODUCED BY THE FAMOUS PLAYERS FILM CO. ADOLPH ZUKOR PRES.

The text "Distributed by Paramount Pictures Corporation" appears below.

Variants:
 * Before 1914, the "Distributed by Paramount Pictures Corporation" notice doesn't appear.
 * On Poor Little Peppina (and possibly other films), the masks and the mirror are different and a different font is used.
 * On very few films, colors may vary.
 * In closings, the usual "The End" notice appears in center, and a rectangle is shown at the bottom with the print logo inside.

Technique: None.

Audio: None or the opening/closing theme of the film.

Availability: This is very difficult to find, as many silent films had been destroyed. Tess of the Storm Country (1914), Snow White, and Poor Little Peppina are the only known surviving films containing this logo.

Legacy: One of the first Hollywood logos, along with the Universal Film Manufacturing Company and Nestor Film Company. Despite the company's first official rebrand in 1914, this logo continued to be used until two years later.
