I liked the MCA/Revue /Universal TV logos from the late 1950's(beginning with the 1958-1959 season when they used the Revue shield,the early 1960's "dropping letters"logo,(loved the accompanying music),the 1960's Universal TV logos(the picture of the planet Saturn,as well as the great accompanying music held over from the "dropping letters"years,those were great)the 1970's and 1980's Universal TV logos,(the picture of the planet Saturn and the music),but I didn't care for too much the Universal TV logos used from the 1990's to today.I also liked all the Filmways ones,as well as all of the Screen Gems /Columbia Pictures TV ones.(Hey,does anyone remember the one which had the statue and it said instead of Screen Gems,.Columbia Pictures Television-this was one they used in the late 1970's-early 1980's?")What are your favorites?Feel free to post.

Paramount from the mid-1990s (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMO9U3bOz-Q&feature=related)

CBS from 2007-on (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4PMgoxNfcc&feature=related) - very classy

Screen Gems from the 1960s (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQ7zZRud1B0)

Universal logo from the early 1960s (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeCo8xm_dgM&feature=related)

20th Century Fox from the mid-1990s (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5At9CXrWpE&feature=related)

The 1955-60 Screen Gems torch lady-the version seen on Three Stooges shorts for eons until the '80s and the "S" logo [one of the few people who was never scared by that logo], the 1960-67 20th Century Fox TV logo with the pre-67 tune, and Revue-Universal logos with the original Stanley Wilson-Juan Esquivel arrangement used before 1965.

I remember some of these logos and I liked them.

I always thought the Hanna-Barbera "swirl" was pretty neat.

I liked the MCA/Revue /Universal TV logos from the late 1950's(beginning with the 1958-1959 season when they used the Revue shield,the early 1960's "dropping letters"logo,(loved the accompanying music)...

I loved the dropping letters logo and the music with it as well. This logo was used on Leave It to Beaver for its last two seasons (1961-63). The Season 6 ep "Beaver on TV" ran this music over the action as Ward & Fred Rutherford were watching the end of "Teen Forum" where they had both expected to see Beaver but did not.

I hate how TV Land dropped both this logo, as well as the closing credits, to run the closing credits over the tag scene, which it has done to so many classic tv series now. :(

I like the Paramount logo & music for most of its incarnations from the 60s to the 90s. I also like some of the smaller production company logos like Gracie Films (The Simpsons) and John Charles Walters (Taxi).

Me too! Gracie Films is one of my favorites, by far. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cykr7NDE0g

Also agreed with someone above about the Hanna-Barbera swirl.

Love the Rysher Entertainment logo used at the end of Saved by the Bell.

How about the guy falling off the roof at the end of Growing Pains. I think it was Guntzleman/Sullivan Productions. I'm curious if any other shows ever had that at the end. I always liked the,I think it was Viacom Spider Man Logo to. I think it aired at the end of every Muppet Babies.

My favorite is the Castle Rock lighthouse that they showed after Seinfeld and I loved the music that went with it. However, it always made me a little sad because it signaled the true 'end' of the episode.

I loved the CBS "eye" backgrounds that were used at the ends of shows like Perry Mason and Rawhide, where the whole screen was filled with the eyes. It was just a still, but it looked great and had nice artwork in the foreground.

The Screen Gems 'S'

The Rankin-Bass logo and music at the end of all of their Christmas specials

The Paramount logo at the end of 'The Brady Bunch'

The Desilu logo

the one for "UBU PRODUCTIONS" which ran at the end of "FAMILY TIES" where they showed a picture of a dog, and a guy would say "Sit UBU sit".

'Green Acres': 'This has been a Filmways presentation, dahling.'

And another one of my favorites,was the 20th Century Fox TV logo from the 1960's and 1970's.I really don't care for the one they use today.When and why did they abandon the old logo?

The MTM logo with the meowing kitty and I am amazed no one mentioned it also the Swoboda logo at the end of Grays Anatomy

The MTM logo with the meowing kitty and I am amazed no one mentioned it also the Swoboda logo at the end of Grays Anatomy
theMTM logo has been mentioned.

A couple of others I liked:

The animated United Artists (UA) closing, seen following The Patty Duke Show and The Outer Limits ("click").

The Four Star closing from the color seasons of The Big Valley, where all the small pieces come together.

the lorimar logo from the late 70s early 80s

And another not so-well known logo,but a good one,that I also liked,was for the now defunct Metromedia Producers Corp,when they syndicated series,and another good one was the TA talent associates,inc logo used on the NBC episodes of "Get Smart",from seasons 2 to 4.(Not the CBS season 5 episodes-that was a DIFFERENT logo-same ending,but modified),

And,on some of the Four Star shows of the 1950's,and 1960's,the cone with the words "FOUR STAR" on top with 4 stars above it.That was also a good one.

The Steven Bochco Productions logo, as seen on Doogie Howser M.D., NYPD Blue, Blind Justice and (I think) seasons 4-8 of L.A. Law.

And there was also an animated variant as seen on Capitol Critters. So cute!

It was a Guntzelman-Sullivan-Marshall Production.

And the other show beside GP to use this logo was its spin-off show Just the Ten of Us.



My faves:

The Lorimar "Line of Doom" (1978-86)

The Lorimar-Telepictures "Crashing Comets and Fireworks" (1986-88/89)

Paramount TV logos from early 1968-1987 The Yellow/Blue and Red/Blue/White Split Box logos and the Blue Mountain.

Hanna Barbera's Swirling Star logos.

Universal Television 1960s-1991 ones.

Stephen J. Cannell Productions (R.I.P.) - man on typewriter seen on a handful of shows such as The Greatest American Hero, The A-Team, Hardcastle and McCormick, Riptide, HUNTER, Stingray, 21 Jump Street, Wiseguy and a few others.

Mark VII Limited "Hammer Strikes" logo.

PBS 1971
MTM- meowing Mimsey
Paramount blue mountain- mid 80s

Screen Gems - s

And the"dropping letters"(which became the abbreviated "dropping letters"logo in the 1961-1962 season)logo and lengthened music score for the 1960-1961 season of MCA/Revue/Universal TV series "Thriller","Alfred Hitchcock Presents","Bachelor Father"and "Wagon Train"(surprisingly,"Leave It to Beaver"that season used the 1959-1960 season logo),I also liked.

And another good logo was the one used by Warner Bros.TV shows(no,not the traditional ,well-known Warner Bros.TV (and movies)shield which has been around for years,and is still used today,but the one used in the late 1970's-early 1980's,then discontinued,that said Distributed by Warner Bros.Television-then in-betwen that,and a Warner Communications Company,a modified version of the WB W,with no b,in a smaller shield.Anyone remember this?

After "Family Ties", they would always show a black dog with a frisbee and say "sit Ubu sit", good dog".


I also always liked the cat meowing after "The Mary Tyler Moore Show".

And the old Viacom logos.,not the Viacom logo with the voice-over.These 3 old ones were,the 1)one with the V ,the music,and it said a Viacom Presentation(no voiceover) 2)The one where it said a via and then com-and then presentation,and included the very weird music,and no voiceover,and 3)And the one with just the big V and the word Viacom underneath the big V.This one also had no voiceover,

Old school DiC (parchment vortex, not bedroom), Ruby Spears, H-B Swirling Star, 20th Television, Starry Night Productions and Underdog Productions.
