Arthur Rank]]. It broadened its enterprise to the States by acquiring the [[Producers Releasing Corporation|PRC]] studios in 1948, and quickly became one of the most respected producers on Hollywood's "Poverty Row". They also distributed other studios' output both here and abroad, such as those produced by [[Selznick International Pictures|David O. Selznick]] and by Rank himself. Krim left Eagle-Lion in 1949 (he would later be offered the leadership of [[United Artists Pictures|United Artists]]), and the company continued to release and distribute a much-diminished output. By 1954 the company was no more, and the old studio on Santa Monica Blvd. (which had originally been [[Various Kids, Family and Animation Logos|Educational's]] studio) was sold to television filmmaker [[Ziv Television Programs|Frederick Ziv]].<br/><br/><br/>1st Logo<br/>(1947-1950)</font></font><div><font size="3"><font><br/></font></font><div align="center"> [[File:WjwXjCfaz1TAumFqn02YpQ65314.jpeg|214px|Eagle-Lion Films]][[File:8kxGzDeFCh578UM66udJ5w310733.jpeg|240px|Eagle-Lion Films]]<font size="3">[[File:5pB1gjCCh5fYX5PSXl9VHg32626.jpeg|218px|Eagle Lion Distributors (1944)]][[File:Fm9HeimQw-1chClwV3NJLw23315.jpeg|222px|Eagle-Lion Distributors]][[File:49f89798515e9bea92d3327d57bc74b7.jpeg|220px|Eagle-Lion Distributors (1944)]]</font>[[File:3325400cfcbe99791e277e911bfe8d78.png|227px|Eagle-Lion Films (1948)]]<font size="3"><br/>[[File:727babfb9e72c111474c5902dd6b1f5c.jpeg|251px|Eagle-Lion (1944)]]<br/></font></div><div align="center"><font size="3"><iframe frameborder="0" height="186" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/unknown/6ec5e0fd0fcdcb400146e2fa5b52bc6181d7547b" width="247"></iframe><iframe frameborder="0" height="186" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/unknown/92bb974784ef0e9e55bbc74dfa3195c46be15b45" width="247"></iframe><iframe frameborder="0" height="186" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/unknown/19f83ba8c29fc9e75ec389e8f1469f44fde900d9" width="247"></iframe></font><iframe frameborder="0" height="186" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/d453da0f6d0543ef4bc2454d00060d0f7129684b" width="327"></iframe><font size="3"><br/></font><div align="left"><font size="3"><u>Nickname</u>: "The Eagle-Lion Plaque"</font></div></div><font size="3"><font><br/></font><font><u>Logo</u>: A plaster-looking circular plaque (or a plain white or black background) has bas-relief images of a soaring eagle on top and a lion striking a pose on a ribbon (bearing the legend "SIC PRO OPTIMA") beneath, with the words "Eagle-Lion Films" in Edwardian Script superimposed across the center, between the two beasts.<br/><br/><u>Variants</u>:</font></font><div><ul><li><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">Sometimes, the logo would been re-stylized.</font></li><li><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">Later, it would change to "EAGLE-LION DISTRIBUTORS".</font></li></ul><font size="3"><font><u>FX/SFX</u>: None; it's a still logo.<br/><br/><u>Music/Sounds</u>: The opening bars of the movie's theme music, sometimes silent, or it has the last half of the G.C.F. music, following the logo.<br/><br/><u>Availability</u>: Rare.
