Dino de Laurentiis Company (Italy/US)

Background
This is the production company of Dino De Laurentiis.

(1954-1960s)
Logo: On a black background, we see a still image of a lion statue. Then, the arched name "DINO DE LAURENTIIS" fades in above the lion. The word "distribuzione" ("distribution" in Italian), fades in under the logo.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: A triumphant score with chorus, in which the first part plays on a black background, and the second on the logo.

Availability: Rare. This logo can be found on Fellini's masterpiece La Strada.

Editor's Note: None.

(1990-1994)
Logo: We see a red outline of a circle and a long rectangle. The lion from the previous logo fades in, along with the words "DINO DE LAURENTIIS COMMUNICATIONS" which is placed inside the long rectangle.

Variant: Sometimes, the word "presents" fades in below the logo.

FX/SFX: Just the fading.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Very rare. Can be seen on international prints of Army of Darkness, Body of Evidence, and 3 Ninjas.

Editor's Note: This is a boring logo.

1st Logo (February 23, 1996-February 9, 2001)
Logo: We see a print version of the Dino de Laurentiis Communications logo, but with the name shortened to "DDLC". The full name "DINO DE LAURENTIIS COMPANY" is shown below.

Variant: On Hannibal, the full name doesn't appear.

FX/SFX: The scrolling in the credits.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the movie.

Availability: It appears on films such as Unforgettable, Bound, Breakdown, U-571, and Hannibal.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (September 30, 2002- )
Nickname: "The Lion Statue Strikes Back"

Logo: We see the lion statue (as in the DEG logo) zooming out from the screen as a box zoomed out surrounding the lion statue and takes into place on a space background. We see "DDLC" above the box.

Variant: On Red Dragon and the Hannibal TV series, "Dino De Laurentiis Company" is below the box.

FX/SFX: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Appears on Red Dragon, The Last Legion, and Hannibal Rising. Also seen on the Hannibal TV series.

Editor's Note: None.

(July 9, 2015- )
Logo: On a stormy blue-orange sunset background with lightning striking, a golden lion statue similar to those from the previous logos is seen roaring. As this happens, a dark blue/green bar fades below the lion as the 3D letters "DLC", set in a serif font and colored in a blue-red gradient, fade in below said line, while a red flash of light draws another dark blue/green line below the "DLC". Meanwhile, the words "THE DE LAURENTIIS COMPANY", colored gold and set in a serif font, zoom out from the bottom of the screen while turning towards the viewer, settling below the bottom line.

FX/SFX: The lion roaring, the text and the lines appearing, and the lightning striking. All CGI.

Music/Sounds: TBA.

Availability: Seen on the Hannibal TV series starting with Season 3 Episode 6.

Editor's Note: None.
