Background

Société Anonyme Tunisienne de Production et d'Expansion Cinématographique (Arabic: الشركة التونسية للإنتاج والتنمية السينمائية), also known as simply SATPEC, was a Tunisian film production and distribution company. Set up in 1957 by the Tunisian government, the company had a monopoly in productions and film imports from 1967 to 1981. Due to financial problems, the company went defunct in 1992.

Logo (1980s?)

Visuals: On a black background, the SATPEC logo is seen on the top of the screen, consisting of a "س" made of orange lines with "SATPEC" underneath in Helvetica Black. Afterwards, "الشركة التونسية للإنتاج والتنمية السينمائية" in a stylized font wipes in from right to left. "présente" in orange then wipes in underneath from left to right. The SATPEC logo then flickers five times, followed by the Arabic text flickering the same amount of times, and finally "présente" also flickering likewise. The logo then wipes away from view; the SATPEC logo and "présente" wiping out from left to right and the Arabic text wiping out from right to left.

Technique: Cel animation.

Audio: The opening theme of the film.

Availability: This logo is seen on a reprint of the 1958 film Goha; the original print only retains an in-credit notice, as with most films from this company.
