Gaumont - Logo Remake/Modernized

My full Remake/Modernized version of the Gaumont logo.
This updated design uses the CinemaScope and Widescreen color version of the original Gaumont "Sun Globe II" logo used arround 1943-1970 as a reference. Some layers such as space behind the globe and the filmstrip with letters "GAUMONT" (and other text effects) where designed on Procreate and animated on Sony Vegas Pro (where I created some other effects such as light effects and sun rays)

I created two different versions:
The first version with the upper/bottom text "LA SOCIÉTÉ NOUVELLE DES ÉTABLISSEMENTS" and below "DÉPARTMENT FILMS" with "présente" being written in a rectangle in cursive text in the right corner of the screen just like the original logo.
The second version features no sub-text since my first goal was to modernize the logo. Modern logotypes don't feature much text mostly when we look at Universal / Paramount / Warner Bros or even some more recent versions of the Gaumont logo.

About the music, the version that I use in my version is the full "Sun Globe II" Gaumont Fanfare that I remastered and also rendered in Stereo to make it sound better/modern with subtle improvements on instruments quality.
