How the opening screensavers of famous film companies have changed: in the 20th century and now (13 photos)

Many famous film companies, whose names we all know without even wanting to, have already celebrated their centenary. During this time, of course, their management, plans for the future, and logo have changed several times.





But since we are talking about film companies that present their logo in animated form before the start of the film, it is worth calling it an opening screensaver. You probably remember the ceremonial introduction of 20th Century Fox with fanfares or the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer screensaver with a lion's roar.
