I wanted to tell all of you here about this: last night, when I was watching the
end credits of the 1991 Oliver Stone "rockumentary" The Doors (a Los Angeles,
California-based classic rock band known for such hit songs as "Light My Fire,"
"Break On Through," "Hello, I Love You" and "Touch Me" among others), starring
Val Kilmer as the group's singer Jim Morrison, at the end, there was the rare
version of the Worldvision "WHOOSH Globe" logo with the Blockbuster
Entertainment ticket logo next to the globe logo.

Supposedly, this variation had ran through the first half of 1994 and was then
replaced by the version where the "A BLOCKBUSTER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY" byline
(which was all text on the earlier 1994 version), which is positioned below that
of the Spelling Entertainment byline, has the company's name represented as the
ticket logo.

I understand that this logo appeared because Worldvision (now CBS Television
Distribution) had inherited the Carolco Films library as part of a syndie
package after Carolco went bust (Orbis Communications was Carolco's syndication
arm until their downfall). This film was presented by Carolco Films.

That was the one I was looking for, I remember seeing this logo on "Double Dare"
when it was on KTTV back then.

On the TV pilot episode of the series "Hong Kong" from the 60's, there's an
unusual variant of the 20th Century Fox Television logo. It's uploaded at Audio
Files. Check it out!

That is a rare find.  As it is, the fanfare as seen on the show "Hong Kong"
itself, as well as
Fox shows appearing on ABC during 1961-1963 had yet another variation on the
fanfare.

No, Brian.  Just various TV ads and stuff.  You should see the ones from the
'60s.  *wow!* XD

The new Sony/Discovery/IMAX network; 3net has its debut logo:

S.A.K.

I just bought this and noticed that the original AOL byline has been replaced
with the newer TimeWarner byline. Does anyone have the original blu-ray release?
Was it changed there as well? And how about the 2nd movie?

A few people were wondering where to get some of the films Eric posted logos
from, well... here's your chance.  A couple of movies-of-the-week are available
on public domain DVD at http://modcinema.com/ if you want to check them out.

Many of you should remember Reveille Productions, for co-producing such series
like "The Office", the 2008 revival of "American Gladiators", and many original
series that airs on MTV and VH1. Reveille Productions who was acquired by the
Shine Group in February 2008 and became ShineReveille International. On Jan. 15,
News Corporation is in talks to acquire Elisabeth Murdoch's Shine Group. She
HAPPENS to be the daughter of Rupert Murdoch!

Hello, this is Sean McElhenny, I decided to re-join my CLG friends. Okay, so
this is my first post here once again.

You see, in my HS math class, there is a poster for the NBC show Numb3rs called
"We use math every day" with a large CBS Paramount print logo on it. It kind of
caught my attention the first time I saw it.

What do I do now?

How will I begin to spot old logos like this?
What channels (non-broadcast, non-premium)on DirecTV
show old shows with old (or rare) logos?

Sean

Hi,

Does anyone have a complete list of TV movies by Paramount Television that have
an opening logo w/ jingle?

The list so far:
*Seven in Darkness (9/23/69)
*Quarantined (2/24/70)
*Dr. Cook's Garden (1/19/71)
*Terror in the Sky (9/17/71)

~Ben

Like plastering goofs, video logos on TV, etc.?

You mean "RTV". And do you have a digital converter box?

S.A.K.

...while watching The Three Stooges on Antenna TV this morning, "Knutzy Knights"
(one of the recycled Shemp ones), at the end, instead of Sony Pictures TV, up
comes 20th TV! WTH?

I've found most of my rare logos on DVD's of old shows I either bought or
traded for.

If anyone here has heard R. Kelly's latest hit song "When a Woman Loves",
they'll notice that the opening notes of the song sound a lot like the current
Warner Bros. fanfare which then transitions into the Pearson Television fanfare.

Here's a link to the song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_W0K_EkDoHk&ob=av2el

Does anyone else here agree with me or is it just me?

Here's an interesting twist on a closing logo:

Go to page 51 of this link.  Notice the ad promoting plans to launch a very
popular game show, but adding a...well, titillating concept to a tried-and-true
format.

Now notice the Viacom logo and where it is positioned in the ad.  Given the new
game show concept and the location of this logo, it gives a whole new meaning to
the term "V of Doom". *lol*

Hmm.  I think someone fell asleep in the control room.

Many of you heard that the FCC has approved the Comcast-NBC Uni deal including
that Vivendi sold off it's 20% of NBC Uni.

I got some bad news folks. I just seen another awful looking logo. The new NBC
Universal logo.

http://www.deadline.com/2011/01/comcast-unveils-new-nbcu-logo-with-no-peacock-or\
-globe-at-town-hall-meetings/

This has got to be another awful looking logos I've EVER seen in my life! I hope
this doesn't affect the logos for NBC Universal Television Distribution and
Universal Media Studios.  I don't think anyone knows what a logo means to them
anymore. They should've left well enough alone.

S.A.K.

NBCU had to make a clarification to this.  The logo was so bad even Brian
Williams made fun
of it on the nightly news.

They explained that this is the corporate logo for the parent company.  NBC
TV and Universal
Media will keep their existing logos.
