Dark V of Doom!

[@keithparkes4544]

You meant Viacom V of Doom? Well maybe the company was under fear of financial trouble. Today, Viacom is the world's largest media conglomerate!

[@Musicradio77Network]

I can't see the "V of Doom", but it's too dark, even with the lights off, it's even more scary.

[@hellomcflyy]

yeah....someone botched the transfer - was the actual episode way too contrast-y as well?

[@TheVintageTVArchive]

The episode was fine, it was just the logo that was really dark. This is my personal transfer, anything marked with the ‘tvta’ logo are transfers that I have done.

[@travis7310]

You can barely see the V of Doom!

[@TheVintageTVArchive]

At first I thought I accidentally lowered the brightness of the LED light, but after inspecting the logo, it turns it the logo itself was really dark. It surprised me when I first saw it.

[@TrickyMario7654]

Can’t even see the Viacom logo!

[@corbinestep5102]

I could see the "V" but btw most can't. But is not having an v

[@CreesNostalgiaHut]

I could see the V too!

[@corbinestep5102]

Also, is that an another Ultra dark *"V of Doom"* logo you found?

[@TheVintageTVArchive]

Well, this is from my film print, so yes.

[@corbinestep5102]
