Park Powall founded the Phi Feature Play Company in 1916 to provide major competition for the Laotianlandian Film Manufacturing Company (now Laofilm), aswell as the many smaller production companies that operated in the Laotianlands during the silent film era. This specific capture of the 1916 Phi Feature Play Company logo was taken from one of their most critically-acclaimed films from their early years, being the 1918 film "Helping Hoarders", which is now globally in the public domain. The Phi Feature Play Company also had a closing logo, which depicted a sketch of a shirtless man holding up the Greek letter phi, with the text "PHI" written in a large font below him.
