Found another find. I was just casually going through YouTube, when suddenly, I found this rare Dan Curtis Productions logo. Taken from "Dark Shadows-Episode 1082".

This is the video itself.

I found this logo for a DVD authoring company I know nothing about on the Home Movies season one DVD. https://closinglogosgroup.miraheze.org/wiki/File:3rd_Sector_Entertainment_(2004).JPG

The season 2 DVD features a different, animated logo, but was authored by the same company. I don't own either yet, but its possible this logo is on the third and fourth seasons, given how they all share the same menus. https://closinglogosgroup.miraheze.org/wiki/File:3rd_Sector_Entertainment_(2005).JPG

I have two logos from 1912 and it's from one of the first movie studios in Hollywood. More detail, including a video and a page, will arrive later.

I'm back with another old Paramount Pictures logo way back in 1915. This seems to be the best find I have to date. Seen on Hypocrites, which is said on the Image detail.

Is it an in-credit logo? I see no mountain.

It ain't in-credit, since it appeared before the credits. I know this because the footage before is a newspaper. Also, I'm gonna say that this is while the Famous Player's Film Company was Paramount Pictures, since it's at 1915.

This is such an unusual logo that I had to do some research on the logo itself. Turns out that logo is the Hobart Bosworth Productions Company's (aka Bosworth Inc.), the studio who produced the film you mentioned, whereas Paramount is the distributor. I took a brief look at the film itself and saw Bosworth's logo in the opening title card.

Okay, thanks though. Honestly, the first capture in Mid 2022 is really special.
Maybe VPJHuk can top it off like he usually does?

There is a thing though. I am impressed with what anyone can find, if it is anything out of the ordinary, like that Paramount find of yours. I want people to top me, because of an issue I noticed back when I joined. The logo hunting scene was dry, with only a few rare discoveries every few months or so. Everyone was mainly focused on MeTV and it's Pinball on MTS, heh. I already have succeeded for a little bit with new hunters (Like Davit, Zachary MB, etc.) rising up the ranks, finding multiple undiscovered variants. I could go on and on about this, but I will leave it here.

Anyways, great find, TVB!

They are both featured, since they seem interesting & rare.

Now, Universal Films S.A. has been found in November 17, 2021, so I decided to upload them here. As said in Archive 4, it could be the biggest find as of 2021, and hey, it could be featured due to its obscurity (and no blame, but it should).


As well as Universal Film S.A., I also captured the Spanish Version of Universal Films from 1931, found in October 2021. Again, it could be featured since it does follow the rules of everything.


Along with that, I have more finds I found previously (December 2021-April 2022), but I'm showing them later. Anyways I hope you like this postǃ

Well I found this Italian WB logo on Logopedia, and decided to upload it here. Credits to the uploader.

This was seen at the end of theatrical prints of several Disney animated movies from the early 1990s including DuckTales: The Movie - Treasure of the Lost Lamp and Beauty and the Beast; WB distributed many of Disney's films here.

About that, I found that over a year ago. Sounds like someone took a capture to Logopedia, spreading it to here.

I found 2 logos here. The first is the Soviet Version of the 20th Century Fox Film Corporation 3rd logo seen on Die Hard 2. Also, the cropping is awful lmao.


The second is a Lego Studios logo seen on the 2000 Demo Reel.


Nothing else to say here, so I'll see you when I found Hard Gold ;)

Well, I found a Vikas Pictures (India) logo thanks to using IDMB and copypasting the movie title to youtube.

I have found, what seems to be a on screen version of the CPLF Gaumont sun globe print logo, it is from 1946 from the film ‘’ Les demons de l’aube’’, at the end it contains another Gaumont logo containing the name of the director of the film.

Apparently there was a version of Fox's CinemaScope snipe which had the early variant in the font of the "CinemaScope 55" logo. Unknown which film had this, since I just did a little browsing on Logopedia.

And this is an even rarer, corporate version of my Cinemascope find, with the clouds from the Todd-AO regular zero structure.

I just found a variant of the Viacom V of Steel logo where it’s green. At first, I came across an episode of “Perry Mason” on archive.org with this exact same variant but it faded to black early. So I wanted to see if there was another episode of Perry Mason where the logo played in full and sure enough, I found a version in full.

Sounds like they slapped another song in front of the normal creepy ambience.

Found some more International Logos hereǃ Like last time, they're found from other YouTubers, not me.

Noteː This logo has already been captured, but this is an alternate if needed.

Ah yes, the German Universal International logo I spotted. It actually has an interesting story relating to the source. I and a friend of mine used Google Translate to whoop a few clues, in which it eventually was figured out. I could tell more in depth but I may save that for a video of mine.

Look at what @VPJHuk: found recentlyǃ


This seems legit featured. Anyone else think so? Anyways, I found this Paramount Newsreels logo in April, which really made me thinkingː Paramount is the Key of low-budget TV.

I am here to feature a few logos on this thread. The first one is another early animated logo from the early 1910's. I was not the one who found this logo. Rather, it was S P.


The second of which are two logos from another silent film company, which also dates back to the early 1910s. These are from Vitagraph, known as a Warner Bros. subsidiary that was the predecessor to the Vitaphone sound system.
