Gaumont logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- The company is considered to be the world’s oldest filmmaker and today has its subsidiary in the USA, which specializes mainly on tv-series.
- 1908 – 1910 The petals turned yellow and black in 1908, and in the same year, the name of the company was changed to Gaumont, so the new inscription in a new typeface featured “Gaumont” in the center, with “Film” arched above it and “Cinema” — under.
- The font remained almost the same — a unique fancy handwritten typeface with smooth lines and slightly curved ends.
- 1914 – 1918 The “Gaumont” lettering was replaced by an enlarged modern letter “G”, which was written in a strong bold black line repeating the circular shape of the inner part of the emblem.
- The petals were also strengthened and now the emblem looked as powerful as never before.
- 1918 – 1919 In 1918 the monochrome palette was softened and now the black contours of the emblem were set on a tender peach background, which added elegance and lightness and made the flower look like a flower.
- 1919 – 1924 The redesign of 1919 changed the smooth and fine emblem to an abstract stylized star with lots of rays and a circular badge in the middle.
- 1940 – 1944 In 1940 the flower was replaced by the sharp black star, and the globes with an eagle were removed from the logo.
- The new logo looked modern and very progressive.
- 1943 – 1970 The Gaumont logo was redesigned again in 1943.
- Now the colorful badge boasted a globe with a diagonally placed banner in light red, with the “Gaumont” lettering in the uppercase on it.
- 1944 — 1945 Another version of the badge used by the company in the 1949s was a solid red star with sharp long rays, and a bold white letter “G” in the middle.
- This version of the logo was used by Gaumont until 1947.
- 1970 – 1980 In 1970 the company decided to come back to its roots and returns the iconic flower, but now it only replaced the first letter of the “Gaumont” lettering, which is set in the uppercase and executed in a bold modern sans-serif typeface with the massive letters placed on quite a significant distance from each other.
- 1980 – 1985 The Gaumont logo from 1980 was very similar to the one the company used in 1910, with the only change — this time the logotype was placed not on the flower, but under it.
- The typeface of the inscription was changed to a bold serif font, with smooth sleek contours of the letters.
- 1995 – 2011 The red color comes back to the Gaumont visual identity in 1995.
- This time red is the color of the Gaumont flower’s outline and the lettering, which is again set fight on the emblem.
- The contours of the flower were cleaned and strengthened, while the logotype was enlarged and now looked more balanced on a smooth and fine drawing.
- The color palette remained untouched — white as the main color, Ted for all the details and inscription.
