A Collection of Educational 16mm Logos

This is a collection of educational 16mm logos from the 1950's until the 1980's. These logos have warped sound because of age.

[@koolsteins]

Welp. It’s official. This has become one of my new favorite aesthetics. Who knew that VHS wasn’t the only video format notorious for the cheesy, warped sounding logos?

It's called wow and flutter, and every mechanical device has it to some extent. Magnetic tape, vinyl, film, etc. all have a slightly varying playback speed, depending on how well made your player/recorder is it can either be very noticeable or barely audible, but nevertheless it's always there. CD, DVD players have wow and flutter as well, but you don't hear it there because CDs are digital so the audio (or other data) isn't affected by it.

5:52 is very weird - it shows someone passing a tray of gingerbread men onto a conveyor belt, then there is a couple frames of a line of women holding hands spliced in before it switches back to the gingerbread men, then it fades right into a film leader. Was there some sort of symbolism behind this? 7:43 for some reason, hearing hippies sing on these old warbly, scratched up films makes them even creepier. Lastly, I wonder if they ever made a school film projector that WASN'T all warbly and clattery. A lot of stuff was shown on 16mm when I was in grade school. Nowadays, a VHS tape is weird and exotic

How to Be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days is a 1983 film produced by WonderWorks, based on the children's book Be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days! by Stephen Manes. A family-friendly comedy starring Wallace Shawn, Ilan Mitchell-Smith, and Hermione Gingold, it is about a twelve-year-old boy named Milo, a hopeless klutz who happens upon a mysterious advertisement in the paper for becoming a perfect person. A three-day course devised by a peculiar man, Dr. Silverfish, Milo enrolls and manages to complete the strange tasks. Only after completing the course does Milo realize perfection is not all it's cracked up to be.The film first aired on PBS on October 4, 1984 and was regularly shown on The Disney Channel in the mid-1980s.

The warped sound is what makes most of these somewhat creepy. I do know that all of is is due to how old the prints are, but still.

[@plateshutoverlock]

This stuff was warbly when it was new. The 16mm film projectors used in schools were designed to be durable, but they were not high precision machines. I grew up in the 80s and 90s and I haven't seen one that wasn't like this. Plus they tended to jam often, the film would slip off of the sprockets, causing the picture to jump, and most teachers aren't professional projectionists, so there is a lot more wear and tear on the equipment.

[@jadsi]

I disagree, according to TvTA, he thinks that the sot237, the user who uploaded these logos to the internet archive, has probably used an old telecine unit, which might’ve caused the warped sound, if you want fix some of these, use Capstan 😉
