Concorde Home Entertainment

Background
Concorde Filmverleih is a theatrical and home video distributor in Germany. It was formed in 1991 when TeleMuchen Group acquired local assets of Vestron Video and created Concorde Video, renamed to Concorde Home Entertainment in 1999. In 2019, the company went absorbed into Leonine Distribution.

1st Logo (1997-2005)

Videos=

Visuals: A bright flickering splash occurs, which lights on the panning filmstrip. Each frame contains video footages of some movies. The strip becomes flat and flashes again, and then the letters rise from it, forming either "CONCORDE-FILM" (for film releases) or "CONCORDE" with "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" below (for home entertainment releases). Then they shine, and the byline for TeleMunchen wipes in by a light below.

Variants:
 * During its early years, the logo was bylineless.
 * This was adapted from the Concorde-Castle Rock/Turner logo used in its first year. In that variant, the shining flash turns into words that slide and form the name.
 * There is also a short version used on trailers, that starts with the flash.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: An orchestral composition with flashing sounds. For the short version, the music is abridged.

Availability: Only in Germany; seen on VHS releases and older DVDs. Appeared on White Worm and Rosenstrasse.

Visuals: We move around giant, metallic letters, which form "CONCORDE". The camera pans around and flies through the letter "R", then the logo comes into full view, with certain underline. The words "FILMVERLEIH" and the byline from before then appear below.

Variants:
 * The home entertainment logo contains only last seconds of animation. Also, "FILMVERLEIH" is replaced with "HOME ENTERTAINMENT".
 * There is also a still variant.
 * Another variant has "FILMVERLEIH" replaced with "CLASSICS".

Technique: CGI.

Audio:
 * The Home Entertainment variant uses dark ambient sounds.
 * The long version is silent or has an uplifting orchestral fanfare composed by Marcel Barsotti.

Availability: Seen on local DVDs, UMDs and Blu-rays, for example The Hurt Locker or ...And God Created Created Woman. This was preceded by TeleMuchen logo. From 2019 onwards, newer releases use the Leonine logo.
