Background

Cinerama Filmgesellschaft It was a West German film distributor that operated from the late 1960s to the early 1970s. It is a subsidiary of Cinerama Releasing Corporation, which itself is a subsidiary of Cinerama, Inc.

1st Logo (August 15, 1969-unknown retirement year)

Visuals: Over a flax background, the logo starts with the "Rainbow C" from the regular Cinerama logo in navy blue fade in with the word "CINERAMA" in the space where the C ends. Underneath, the words "FILMGESELLSCHAFT MBH ZEIGT" appear.

Trivia: The logo was perhaps based on the 1967 initial variant of the Cinerama Releasing Corporation logo (which is their parent company).

Technique: Simple animation

Audio: None.

Availability: Unknown. Possibly on international Cinerama releases. It was seen on the DVD of Una sull'altra.

2nd Logo (April 15, 1972)

Visuals: Over a black background, a big red "C" letter fades in. It begins to produce shadow copies of itself to the left side, each copy brighter and eventually orange. At the same time, more copies appear to the right, colored in rainbow. Then the left half of the picture zooms in, and the word "CINERAMA" wipes itself at the center. Underneath, the words "FILMGESELLSCHAFT MBH ZEIGT" are wiped.

Technique: Cel animation.

Audio: A series of horn and string notes with a two-note bass sting that plays four times.

Availability: It was seen on Albino.
