 The '''Gaumont Film Company''' is a major French film studio established in 1895 by engineer-turned-inventor Léon '''Gaumont''' (1864–1946). It is the world's first and oldest film studio, established before [[Pathé]] (founded in 1896), [[Titanus]] (1904), [[Nordisk Film]] (1906), [[Universal Pictures]], [[Paramount Pictures]], and [[Nikkatsu]] (all founded in 1912).
-'''Gaumont-Franco Film-Aubert''' was formed from a merger of Gaumont and Franco Film-Aubert. Known as GFFA, it went into liquidation in 1935 and was taken over in 1938. By that time, the company was renamed "Société Nouvelle des Etablissement Gaumont" (SNEG).

-'''Technique:''' None.
-'''Music/Sounds:''' None.
-'''Availiability:''' Near extinction. One of the only known films this appears on is ''Le Tic.'' Might have been seen on other films from the time, but it is uncertain if they still exist.

-'''Logo:''' We see the same outlined daisy, this time with "Gaumont" written on it. Sometimes, "FILMS" is shown above, and "CINEMA" is shown below.
-'''Variants:'''
-* This logo appears on an experimental Chronochrome film made in 1912. Chronochrome was Gaumont's three-colour additive process used from 1912-1913. Throughout the logo, it slightly changes in hue, demonstrating the technique.
-* An orange/golden version is seen on the 1915 silent film ''L'embusqué''.
-* At the start and end of some films, the logo is at the bottom of a stylised frame that usually has French text with the title of the film and the director (Opening) and/or Fin (Closing).
-'''Technique:''' None.
-'''Music/Sounds:''' Possibly the opening theme of the film. Silent for the color variant.
-'''Availability:''' Ultra rare. It appears in cartels of cinema from Gaumont from 1908 to 1914, and appears on the short film ''L'embusqué''.

-'''Logo:''' We see the same outlned daisy, but with the words "GFFA" inside it, squished inside the daisy.
-'''Technique:''' None.
-'''Music/Sounds:''' None.
-'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. It's seen on films of the period, i.e.: Jean Vigo's classic ''L ' Atalante'' (1934), retained on the Criterion DVD.
