Background

Company Pictures was a production company that was formed in 1997 by George Faber and Charles Pattinson after he left BBC Films. It was sold to All3Media in 2003. In 2012, the founding partners left the company. Pattinson went on to start New Pictures, while Faber went on to start The Forge.

1st Logo (November 10, 1998-April 8, 2001)

  • An earlier version exists, where the logo is on a black background.

2nd Logo (September 17, 2002-)
