PL/Elgé

"ELGÉ" is the initials of Léon Gaumont, who founded the company in 1895. The daisy has been used in most of Gaumont's logos since.

Gaumont Film Company
1930-1940
A previous belief was that the symbol on the middle-left is the logo for Pathé-Gaumont-Metro-Actualités, which was a joint venture between Pathé, Gaumont, and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. This has been proven false, as it was now attributed to Franco Film Aubert, and their Gaumont Franco Film Aubert joint venture. The symbol on the right appeared to be a naked man holding reels with filmstrips. It is unknown what the bird stands for.
1940-1944
1943-1970
This logo also appeared as an animation.
1944-1945
1945-1947

The daisy returned in 1970. The animated logo was nicknamed "Daisy of Doom" because it had red smoke in the background and had a sinister fanfare playing throughout.

A yellow version exists seen on the 1983 Italian film, Lontano Da Dove and the logo's text was redesigned from the 1910 logo.
