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. The symbol on the right appeared to be a rooster, which is a reference to Pathé as they used that symbol also (and still do today). It is unknown what the bird stands for. This has been proven false, as it was now attributed to Franco Film Aubert, and their Gaumont Franco Film Aubert joint venture.
1940-1944
1943-1971
This logo also appeared as an animation.
1944-1945

The daisy returned in 1971. The animated logo was nicknamed "Daisy of Doom" because it had red smoke in the background and had a sinister fanfare, playing throughout.
