Italy

(1929?-1959?)

Nicknames: "The Transmitter", "The Globe and Tower"

The radio tower is sending out signals illustrated by lightning bolts and sound waves coming from its transmitter. The text "La Radio Pictures presenta" (1930s) or "la RKO Radio Films presenta" (dates unknown) fades in itself on the logo in a "thunderbolt" font.

Trivia: The closing logo was the same as the American version.

FX/SFX: Same as its american counterpart.

Music/Sounds: Same as its american counterpart.

Availability: Extremely rare. The Radio Pictures version was seen on an Italian print of the lost film Deluge.

France

(1950s)

Nicknames: "The Transmitter", "The Globe and Tower"

Logo: On a cloudy background we see a radio tower situated on top of a still Earth globe. The radio tower is sending out signals illustrated by lightning bolts and sound waves coming from its transmitter. The text "Un Film RKO" fades in itself on the logo in a thunderbolt font.

Trivia: Unlike the American version being a model, this is a painting made with aerograph.

FX/SFX: None.
