This classic logo for Mosfilm, Russia's largest film studio, is the oldest on-screen logo still used, being first used in 1947. Although it was initially discontinued in 2003, the studio revived it in 2012 for use on historical films set during the Soviet period.

One of the most iconic logos in British cinema, the Rank Organisation logo featuring a man hitting a gong has embedded itself in popular culture and was parodied numerous times.

Two gongmen have starred during this logo's lifespan. From 1944-1957, heavyweight boxer "Bombardier" Billy Wells was the gongman, and from 1957-1997, it was Olympic medalist wrestler Ken Richmond (both pictured below).

Trump Productions LLC founder and former US president Donald Trump has been found guilty of 34 felony counts. His company made The Apprentice and The Celebrity Apprentice alongside Mark Burnett Productions. It also produced the Miss Universe pageants until 2015.

An early distributor from the pre-cert era of British home entertainment, Guild Home Video was one of the most successful, boasting a large catalogue which helped them survive the Video Recordings Act 1984.

If you grew up watching Little House on the Prairie or The Love Boat in the 80s-90s, you might remember this logo with the whoosh and its synthesized jingle. Feel old yet? 😁

The jingle is actually called "Moog Statement 14" by Andy Clark and was also used in full by its home video division, as well as several other logos (which we might share here soon 🤠🥰)

Tellers is the production company of Gaza-based Palestinian filmmaker Bisan Owda. She produced the series Hakawatia for Jordanian television channel Roya TV.

This year, Columbia's iconic Torch lady marks her 100th birthday. Naturally, she's had a lot of memorable experiences over the years, like having a mouse invade her pedestal, becoming a disco dancer and even fighting off zombies. #ColumbiaPictures100 #retro

Every December, this classic logo graces our screens just ahead of the holidays. But what does "the logo from the end of Rudolph" have in common with the likes of ''One Piece" and "Sailor Moon"? #christmas #nostalgia #retro #anime

While it may seem as CGI at first, the 1993 PBS ident (designed by Telezign) is mostly live-action, captured on 35mm film and later composited on a Quantel Paintbox. It was created with frosted glass models, with the "PBS" text rotated with rostrums.

North Korea's principal producer of feature films is the Korean Film Studio (조선화인), a state-run studio of about 10 million square feet founded in 1947 and located outside of Pyongyang. It has been said that the studio produced about 40 films a year (almost 4 films a month).

Perhaps Korean Film's most notable release is Pulgasari, a North Korean Godzilla-like kaiju film.
