Logo: Same as the 1944 Rank Organisation logo, but the text reads "la RANK FILM DISTRIBUTORS OF ITALY presenta".
Variants:
- In its early years, it would say "J. ARTHUR RANK PRESENTA".
- A distribution variant exists, where much like its British counterpart, the text is on a draped curtain background. "la" and "presenta" are absent.
Technique: Mainly live action combined with cel animation.
Music/Sounds: Same as the 1944 Rank Organisation logo.
Availability: Ultra rare. Seen on Italian prints of Rank films and locally-produced ones such as Le notti bianche (1957). The distribution variant can be seen on The Great Spy Story (1964).
