Melonhead00 · 02-02-2007, 01:46 PM

Which of the TV logos that scare the pure hell out of you through the years, past or present.

EXAMPLES:
1961-1992 20th Century Fox TV aka the Searchlights, Zoom-Out, 20th TELEVISION Fox
1965-1974 Screen Gems aka Filmstrip S, S from Hell
1974-1991 MCA-TV Exclusive Distrubutor
1976-1986 A Viacom Presentation aka the V of Doom

Do NOT post any pictures of any logos. THANKS

Why not? I would like to see what logos you are referring to.

I will admit when I was young, the one that scared the bejesus outta me was the Lucy Show logo at the end of the credits where it showed Lucy's head and shoulders. For some reason, that sh*t scared me.

I remember Vin Di Bona's (America's Funniest Home Videos) logo used to scare me, because it had weird music.

I am talking about TV opening/closing logos.

I don't know if this is what you are referring to, but I was scared by the "wall" of CBS "eyes" at the end of Perry Mason. All those weird things! I didn't know they were supposed to be eyes, just that it was strange-looking. At 2-years-old I think I had a dream where I saw that at the end, and it scared me, until I saw where I had originally seen it.
And for films, I really LOATHED that loud-ass NOISE Lucasfilm did for a THX presentation:
"THX: The audience is listening."

The audience is DEAFENED by that horrible sound!

It was that WB close-up on Kidsongs that freaked me out.

catlover79 · 11-19-2007, 10:43 PM

Those logos are always SO FREAKING LOUD, too!!

SBTB Geek · 11-20-2007, 02:44 PM

I always thought that "V" with the thundering music would go right through the TV and get me!

Remember A Current Affair was revived a couple of years ago, with that same logo and music. Even in my 20s, it freaked me out!!

Tristar's Running Unicorn. Did anyone thoink that the unicorn was going to fly out of the screen?

kanisky7896 · 11-22-2007, 09:55 PM

All of these logos that have been mentioned thus far have freaked me out as well. I try not to think about them. Another thing that always freaked me out was when Tv shows would end with some sort of memorial to somebody, for example "In Loving Memory of (so and so)". Those memorials were always creepy to me.

That Viacom 'Wigga Wigga' logo....

God, that used to scare me for some reason. Maybe it was that voice....it's still kind of creepy to this day.

Viacom closing logos aren't in existance on DVDs, reruns, etc anymore are they? Haven't seen them in a long time.
