I may have just found an extremely rare PolyGram logo that's seen at the end of the 1980 ABC TV movie Mysteries of the Sea. I found the recording on a Google Drive collection from Vance's Media Treasures. I did grab the logo and do have a recording of it, but it's only partial as it cuts in from a McDonald's commercial, but still cool nonetheless.

This is on the PlayStation Bear In The Big Blue House game. I am genuinely unsure whether I should add it to The Jim Henson Company or Jim Henson Interactive and I would appreciate feedback.

So when randomly looking at educational films by Centron I found this.


I don't have that much Information on this logo despite it looking like another prototype to the 1970-1977 logo.

Mr. Gann finally found a fully animated, non-video game 1991-1999 Pathé logo, WITH Chargeurs afterwards. I am speechless.


Edit: oh wait, this is 11 months old and I just haven't seen this until now. Oops.

I think I’ve found a DreamWorks Animation SKG print logo that’s from a group image from Spring 1995

I came across a bunch of BBC Video World logos. Originally, I found a closing logo of this and was only gonna upload that. But then I decided to upload the ones I was able to gather into one video since there were a lot more variants. I think this should get featured because, from what I saw, there wasn’t any video of this logo anywhere online and the only thing that was available of this was a print logo.

Also, I’ve provided video below of the logos and its variants I was able to find.

Not enough surprising ID discoveries? Here is something cute and interesting. This BBC2 ID take on the Test Card F card was taken on a January 8, 1993 broadcast after a promo to The Clothes in the Wardrobe.

This Central Park Media logo was uploaded a while back, possibly what was mistaken for the so-called "First Logo", which is not the case, due to the inclusion of Software Sculptors' logo, which CPM acquired in 1995, 5 years before the "First Logo's" debut in 1990.

idk the level of rarity of this particular MGM logo but anyways. Is the MGM tanner logo with the 1982 roar. Found this on a 1989 Globo airing of Gone with the wind celebrating the 50th anniversary of the film. The logo is at the very end, starting at 2:00

Back in the early 2000's, a Brazillian channel called Telecine made bumpers with logos of famous Hollywood studios. And the Paramount logo received a custom byline for some reason. Here are my captures.

Went randomly thru some videos from a Russian channel and found this. Quite interesting to say at least. :P But sadly, it's partial.

Apparently i did some *small* research and the above capture turned out to be a movie intro. But, since there are no complete captures of it (possibly lazy to find out), i still can't tell if this is a movie logo or intro. Whoops...

I just found an earlier version of the Barbour/Langley logo from Who Murdered JFK. Yes, it's from 1988 and it was older than COPS, which debuted in 1989. Instead of fading to black, the logo disappears like a TV switch-off can do!

Here are some HBO logos.

File:0777.jpg File:0776.jpg


I got this from my friend. I don't know if it is actually rare or not as I know nothing about HBO logos (besides some have a TV cutting off and I know the HBO Kids logos) but feel free to add it to the respective page.

More coming soon

So... I managed to find a second HBO Original Movie intro as I was gathering all the footage I needed for my "Logo History Series" HBO episode.


There are already the 2000 and 2001 HBO Original Movie intros out there, but I included this one because from the research I've gathered, this was used from 1998 to 2000.

I say that because I also managed to find this ("HBO Movie" intro at 3:40 mark):


I know that HBO introduced new Feature Presentation intros when they rebranded in late 1997, but judging by the description from pannoni14, apparently the 1986 "neon" intro was still being used in tandem with the '97 intros (albeit sparingly this time) until the above "HBO Movie" intro from 1998 replaced it.

Found this on the back cover of a The Funny Company DVD found on oldies.com. Oddly, this variant lacks the "FUNNY COMPANY FILMS SUPPLIED BY MATTEL, INC." text. Also, this is a unused on-screen logo.

This is a true surprise for me: I managed to find an RKO Century Warner Theatres logo completely out of the blue, and I did it when I least expected it. This comes from a 1987 Produce, S.A. demo reel.


I can't believe I did it as I was rummaging through demo reels...

I found 10 plus clip-ons yesterday and today of German and Spanish origin. The main challenge with Spanish and French ones is avoiding Canadian French and US Spanish prints, as well as there being this one YouTuber who adds SO MANY OVERLAYS. EX. Mario backgrounds and PowerPuff characters to their captures. There is this Spanish YouTuber who uploaded 50 openings, and I found 8 bumpers thanks to him. I told him what I was doing as well.

I really hope I can continue this finding-spree.

It’s nothing rare or anything, but on Discs 2 and 3 to the DVD release of Duckman: Seasons One and Two, the CBS DVD logo appears to be off-sync.
