Eagle Pictures

Background
Eagle Pictures is an Italian film distributor founded in the 1980s.

1st Logo (1988?-2005)
Logo: On a grey radial gradient background, we see a dark blue triangular prism lying down and sliding up from the bottom. More shapes are seen coming towards the triangular prism to form an upside-down "V" shape. It flips and turns around and then shines, releasing the words "Eagle Pictures" as it zooms out.

FX/SFX: The shapes flying and shining and "Eagle Pictures" zooming.

Music/Sounds: A descending synthesizer morphing into a majestic held-out orchestral note.

Availability: Uncommon, can be seen in Italian prints of many movies from this period such as A Time for Dancing, Along Came a Spider, Sidewalks of New York, Rush Hour 2, among others.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (2005-2010s)
Logo: On a blue gradient background with moving searchlights as well as a light reflection of the shape from before, a gray, metallic upside-down triangle is seen spinning and zooming out, settling in the center. One of the searchlights move over the shape, transitioning it into the same symbol from before with "Times New Roman" appearing letter by letter by zooming and fading out. Shortly after, the logo is split into multiple pieces, opening into a white screen.

FX/SFX: The background and searchlights moving, the wings flying, the letters of "Eagle Pictures" zooming out. This was designed by Frame by Frame.

Music/Sounds: Ambience noise with a loud bang when the triangle stops moving. Electric noises are heard when the letters appear, followed by a loud, descending bass drop and finally another sound resembling a rocket launching.

Availability: Common in Italy; could possibly be found in Italian prints of Babysitter, Insurgent, Astro Boy, and The Fighter.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (201?-??)
Logo: A light blade cuts a close up of a steel surface in half, briefly opening it before cutting to various shots of the company's name emerging and expanding in depth while light passes by over it. After a few shot changes, it shows the same V-shaped logo from before but with the text in a more futuristic font as it faces the screen and zooms out while a light reflection is on the letter "S".

FX/SFX: Cool CGI animation!

Music/Sounds: A dramatic orchestral fanfare with an emphasis on percussions.

Availability: Current. One of these newer films that contain these logos is an Italian print of The Addams Family.

Editor's Note: None.
