Identification of silent film production company logo

Post by boblipton » Sun Apr 10, 2011 6:48 am

I've spotted a logo on a title which I presume is a production company logo which I cannot identify. It's a W in a circle. Does anyone know what it is?

I have a book that shows a lot of early studio logos, but I don't remember which book. So, if nobody else answers soon, I will try to find it. My first guess would be maybe the World Film Corporation.

BTW, what is the film? That should make it easier.

British, some time in the first decade of the 20th century.

If it's a simple W in a circle it may be a Williamson film.

It is and I think I've identified it from that. Thank you, Luke, and thank you others, for your efforts.
