Nora Filmverleih

Background
Nora Filmverleih was a German film distribution company founded in the late 1940s. They distributed many films in the 1960s, their first film being "The Black Forest Girl" (the only film they produced in the 1950s). They then stopped distributing films in 1969 & the company was shut down in 1970.

2nd Logo (November 29, 1963-September 30, 1966)
Visuals: We start off with a dark blue background. Then the text in orange "nora Filmverleih" in a medieval-like font as well as a square with 2 orange outlines outside of the company name appears. Both the company name & the square starts to zoom-in towards the screen and as it stops, the text "zeigt" in cursive appear below the square.

3rd Logo (May 22, 1964)
Visuals: Fading in, we see the same logo from before zooming in but with a small "Gmbh & Co RG" below the text zooming in the middle of a two-layered rotating sunburst background. After a few seconds, the same cursive "zeigt" fades on the bottom-right corner.
