Here's something that was a big discovery on eBay a few years ago...someone was selling a 35mm print of Ben-Hur (1959), and one screenshot showed Leo the Lion roaring instead of staying still. It was a re-release print, judging by the "Rated G" frame in another screenshot.

I found another Kokuei Company logo from 1971, but in colorized.

Hi everyone! I am back with some more findings. This time, I will be covering all of my findings from March. Let's begin, there's not too many of them this time.

First, we begin with the photos. Feel free to feature them if deserved!

We got the videos too.

Woah! Can you please show the screenshots? Also, I wonder if the footage of this will be uploaded to YouTube?

Unfortunately, the pictures have long disappeared along with the other CLG pix on Wikifoundry. However, someone is currently selling a 35mm print of Ben-Hur, and judging by this picture, it is the exact same print with the roaring lion.

Here's a link. If you have $149 and a 35mm projector, go right ahead and buy it.

Or convince ft_depot (the seller of the print in question) to make a scan of the logo and upload it to YouTube; he has a channel.

I finally uploaded a rare logo capture before VPJHuk did. This logo was taken from an August 19, 1985 TF1 Airing of “I Confess”. (“La loi du silence” in French)

How about a newly discovered logo?

Here's a rare BBC1 ident from Northern Ireland. The normal version starts at about 4:07. I'd add a photo capture except they've got a big watermark on it.

That background is the same as the Tribune Entertainment logo!

No big threads this time, maybe later. For now, I found this.

I honestly didn't expect this at all, and I almost missed it.

What once was lost, is now found.

Hi! Not much from me as of recently, haven't found anything too interesting, but my friend muv just found something epic, and I just wanted everyone to know about this one. Have a look. :D

And here it is in video form, courtesy of Pepsi9072!


Yeah. Also, I have given myself a break from the monthly posts for now, since I want to see what others have been finding and such, and it's also because that I am a bit lazy. But ye, more finds hopefully to make 2021 even better than it is for the logo community. :)

Recent finds from Agbsdisbsji that should be featured:

Warner Bros. Family Entertainment logo from 1996. Above the shield is the text "Warner Bros, Presents" in a script font.
Warner Bros. Television Distribution logo from 1994. Note the font used here and compare it to the standard version.
Warner Bros. Pictures logo from 1998. Underneath the byline, you can see a copyright stamp that says "(C) WARNER BROS. 1998".
Warner Bros. Pictures logo from 1998. You can see a copyright stamp that is to the right of the byline.

These finds are rare.

Surfing Muppet Wiki I found two interesting in-credit Sesame Workshop logos.

Skip to 1:32 for the first one and 1:04 for the second. I'm sorry that I don't know how to capture or anything, you're gonna have to do the timestamp thing (I'm also nervous about adding the descriptions to the page because I dont know the exact time frames these were used)

Quickly I will point this one out, that it's already in the wiki, it was pointed out on a Batman: The Animated Series tape from 1995 apparently. (I also have a Batman tape that has that same version.

Anyways, good finds! Keep it up, everyone :)

As for me, I do have a couple finds I could show, but I still have a few yet to upload, so not now. ^^

Guys, I'm so, so sorry for posting this here, as I was trying to make another thread and Miraheze won't let me make it no matter what I try (wouldn't even show me everything as almost all was offscreen or extremely vertical, probably cause I'm on mobile). So, this may be slightly off topic, as these logos are technically found. Once again guys I'm so sorry, I feel really awful and guilty but I don't know what else to do.

While looking up Affirm Films on YouTube, I found this account. https://youtube.com/user/swagband

Now, they could just be a random YouTube account, but the fact that it mostly has random film trailers and title reveals uploaded makes me wonder if this person has done graphic design and this is their portfolio. If it is, they made Affirm, Summit Entertainment, Indian Paintbrush, and that movie Walmart logo.

I'm iffy as to whether they created them or not, however, because when I look up their name with "graphic designer" on Google, I get a million graphic designers who certainly aren't them.

So, did they make the logos or not? If they did, I feel like putting in the pages some Trivia so that they are credited for their impressive logo work.
