Thanks to CoolBeef66 ?! for requesting Gaumont. This is the oldest film company I have made a logo history on. In fact it is the oldest film company in the world, founded before other studios such as Pathé (founded in 1896), Titanus (1904), Nordisk Film (1906), Universal and Paramount (both founded in 1912). Credit for all logos and captures belong to everyone who made them, no matter if they are the copyright owner, in which they are shown in this video. Anyway, The Gaumont Film Company is a French major film studio founded by the engineer-turned-inventor Léon Gaumont. It was found in June 23rd 1895, which makes this company 124 years old as of 2019!!! To tell the truth, I was originally going to do that company for episode 100, but it would be a long wait. So I decided to do it on an earlier episode, like this one. Anyway, Gaumont currently has 938 films in it's catalogue!!! Gaumont predominantly produces, co-produces, and distributes films, and in 2011, 95% of Gaumont's consolidated revenues came from the film division. The company is increasingly becoming a TV series producer with its new American subsidiary Gaumont International Television as well as its existing French production features.
