This MGM/UA Home Video logo looks real. Can anyone confirm that it is?

IMO I think it's real, Scanimate effects and VHS noise are pretty hard to fake. The YouTube channel appears to be legitimate. But again it's just my opinion.

I agree. A pity that the uploader never told us where he got it from.

It looks real. I tried looking for it via the date, but found nothing. However, I found 2 other interesting variants. Will show those at the end of the month, with the other findings.

Not my find, but this rare HiT logo from the Bob the Builder pilot that user Josh0108 brought attention to.

Two finds from me.

First of all a rare version of the ABC map logo from a series called Crusade In Europe (Incidentally one of 20th Century Fox's first productions for television)

Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nahUMr_NHxY

Second, one I've been meaning to get up for a while now. This one is from the UK's ABC. It's from a show called Dial 999

Alrighty, I am back with this month's finds! There are a bunch of them this time. Let's begin with the photos that I think could be featured due to it's rarity. :)

Now, the videos.

Phoof, that was a list of findings. Well, I don't have anything to say here, so see you next time, and have a good day! :)

Check this out another Regal Home Video logo but i was expecting to see the Regal Television edit with Academy Home Entertainment theme after the Warning scroll also the fanfare sounds different than the said logo.

Just featured this capture by Samuel puffin:

From the 1907 movie Fyrtøjet. I also found the source on YouTube: it's at the end of the film.

User:Livin' Confirmation about the MGM UA logo: The uploader said he got it from RetroJunk. Which leads me to finding it here: Apparently it came from a promo tape.

Here are a few National Educational Television logo that I found that aren’t on the wiki yet, some feature different announcers

This one is a in-credit variant, it features BBC aswell and is from 1960 https://youtu.be/RWMRy3qArzs

This variant came from a work print, the NET logo looks thin and has a different animation, it’s from 1964 https://youtu.be/_B93nHcbv1o


This 1964 carpet variant has a rare announcer https://youtu.be/GfrEY-F0q70


Another 1964 carpet variant, however this one has an announcer that sounds like the one used in the 1967 logo https://youtu.be/xucRanOV0cE


The opening and closing to the NET map logo, however it contains a totally different announcer, it is from 1956 https://youtu.be/L_fEJk-ZedE https://youtu.be/vvh3g68XJok
