Closing TV Logos you liked - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Rezny@gmail.com · 01-21-2011, 11:59 PM

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

CBS from 2007-on - very classy

Screen Gems from the 1960s

Universal logo from the early 1960s

20th Century Fox from the mid-1990s

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 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.

Schmoopie · 01-23-2011, 05:03 AM

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.

biffbronson · 01-23-2011, 10:36 AM

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

treky · 01-24-2011, 03:19 AM

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".
