Jadran Film

Background
Jadran Film is a Yugoslav (now Croatian) film studio founded in 1946 based in Zagreb, Croatia. It was one of the biggest and most notable production houses in all of central Europe, most being internationally and 120 filmed around the studio. It was also one of the 2 main film studios in Yugoslav cinema, the other being Avala Film.

During the breakup of Yugoslavia, the company experienced a sharp downturn and most of its property was either sold or fell into disrepair. The company is still active, but the company's output has dwindled into a handful of films every year.

3rd Logo (March 20, 1986-July 29, 1998)
Logo: Part, if not the complete logo starts with a golden, modernized version of the "JF" circle releasing a fragment of a golden, modernized "J" and "F", sitting on the bottom-left corner and bottom-right corners respectively. The 2 letters then transform into a more natural version of said letters, which causes "ADRAN" and "ILM" in a futuristic font to wipe in from the 2 letters left to right letter-by-letter. Following this, "Distribucija" appears below the company name via blur effect, and a spotlight shines the circle once the formation is complete.
