Background

RKO Radio Pictures of France is the French division of RKO Radio Pictures. Up until 1950, it didn't have a proper logo for the division, just using the regular English RKO logo.

Logo (6 July 1951-1959)

Visuals: Same as the 1929 RKO Radio Pictures logo, but the background is more cloudy, the color is refined for the 1950s, and the text says "Un Film RKO" (with "Un" being on top of the tower) in yellow.

Variant: A variant with an orange globe and tower exists. The text is also orange and the clouds are blue.

Technique: An aerograph painting filmed by a cameraman.

Audio: The opening theme of the film.

Availability: Seen on French prints of RKO films such as Blackbeard the Pirate.
