Anglo-Amalgamated Productions/Film Distributors (UK)
Logo descriptions and captures by Lazlow
Editions by mr3urious
Background: Anglo-Amalgamated was founded by Nat Cohen and Stuart Levy in 1945. It produced and distributed many B movies, but also musicals, horror films, and the famous Carry On films. The company was later bought by EMI in 1971.
1st Logo
(1945?-1960?)
Logo: On a cloudy background, we can see a man holding a frame of a globe on his shoulders (possibly that of Greek god Atlas), ascending some stairs. "ANGLO AMALGAMATED" is written in a curved, shadowy style above the globe, and "FILM DISTRIBUTORS LTD" on the globe, while "PRESENTS" is written under the man. The man is naked except for a small piece of cloth hiding the "naughty bits". The logo is in black and white.
Variant: Sometimes, the PRESENTS is missing from the logo.
FX: None.
Music/Sounds: A majestic fanfare.
Availability: Seen on the films of the period, like the early Carry On films, like Carry On Constable.
Scare Factor: None.
2nd Logo
(1961?-1962?)
Logo: Similar to the first one, except the man with the globe is on the right side. On the left, we see:
On the horizontal axis of the globe, we see "Nat Cohen & Stuart Levy" in script font.
FX: None; it's a still logo.
Music/Sounds: A majestic fanfare, which is even more majestic than the first.
Availability: Rare; seen on Carry On Regardless.
Scare Factor: None.
3rd Logo
(1962?-1971)
Logo: We see a close-up of the golden frame of a globe on a blue background. On the horizontal axis of the globe, we see "NAT COHEN & STUART LEVY". The camera pulls back and reveals a half-nude man, holding the globe on his shoulders, half-kneeling. The name of the company appears in red fonts and "Presents" appears in white script font under it.
Variants:
FX: The camera pulling back.
Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo.
Availability: On the films of the period, like Carry On Cleo.
Scare Factor: None.
