1st (and possibly only) logo
(1935)
Logo: It fades into a weirdly shaped head with trails to the right of it. A second brighter one fades in next to it. A BG with text fades in. The text says "The End", "Produced for Pontiac Motor Company", "Division of General Motor Corporation", and "by Metropolitan Motion Picture Company Detroit". The bottom includes a Photophone logo.

FX/SFX: None, unless you count the fades.

Music/Sounds: The end of the film.

Availability: This was found on what is called as "Pontiac Car Advertising Reel", a around 10 minute program/group of advertisements about Pontiac Cars.

Editors Note: This logo is special, as it only appears on a film which is pretty much a advertisement compilation. The fact the logo is on here in the first place makes it special, as not a lot of company's who shot the stuff for the brand put their own logos on these advertisements.
