Logo

First logo

The logo features a white stick-figure like man, named Mr. X, walking across the screen, holding a paintbrush and a paintcan. He paints a red X on the floor. As Mr. X backs away, the camera zooms in on the X. The gray letters, "ilam" appear on the left of the X. That forms the company's name. [1]

Other logo

In other variants, the logo uses Gaumont in Space but instead of Gaumont, uses Xilam version.

History

Programs such as Shuriken School,[2] Space Goofs,[3] and Oggy and the Cockroaches[4] were internationally successful. In 2003, the company released its first animated feature film, the CGI-based Kaena: The Prophecy,[5] and, in 2005, announced an animated film based on The New Adventures of Lucky Luke.[1] In 2012, they announced Oggy and the Cockroaches: The Movie.[6]
