Magnetic Video Corporation Logo History (1977-1982)

Partially complete logo history for Magnetic Video Corporation.

[@singinglawnchair]

RIP Andre Blay, CEO of Magnetic Video Corporation and pioneer of home video as we know it.

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

He at least founded an industry that thrived, even if it's humble beginnings weren't as top-notch as we think! Fun effect though with the video mirror effect behind the logo. Probably shot at a monitor to create the effect.

[@LendriMujina]

Joking aside, I really wish someone could identify the song so I could listen to it standalone. The closest thing I can find is an incomplete loop spliced from the more delayed logos.

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

That's the problem with these stock library music collections, you never know which one it was from.

[@lotsoflogos]

Have you tried Shazam?

[@nathanwatson01]

If you like music like this, then you may want to check out library music.

ThisIsLotso Yes, it’s not giving me anything

[@Attmay]

That and that disco song Tootie danced to with a white boy on *the Facts of Life* will haunt my memory for the rest of time.

Aside from the logo used in these videos, the one at 8:44 (sans "Sports") would be used on the outside tape covers starting around 1980 when the company was bought by Twentieth Century Fox.

Great logo animation!!

[@CatalinaMaxCisternasJofre]

This logo at 2:10 uses the 20th Century Fox Fanfare.

[@anniefinch6843]

I remember this before the beginning of The Muppet Movie.

[@Kevin-xv9pm]

So, Magnetic Video must be 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment's ancestor.

[@proudhug]

Yes.

[@singinglawnchair]

Yup. Fox bought Magnetic Video in 1979 and they later became CBS/FOX Video in 1982 when Andre Blay stepped down as CEO.

[@Kevin-xv9pm]

@@singinglawnchair Neat.

[@clayton4887]

The UA Variant has appeared in several videocassette releases.

[@Nathan3208alt]

Everyone (especially Joseph the Stickfigure Thingy): STOP POSTING COMMENTS WITH EITHER NOTHING BUT FAKE VARIANTS OR THINGS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS LOGO LIKE "M&M'S" OR WHATEVER. Just comment on what you THINK about these variants.

[@WVMKrimson]

Here from Cinepak. I miss old vaporwave.

Kaden Vanciel Well done! You got them all listed!

[@LogoMaker314]

sounds like m&ms logo

[@josersoldlogochannel4881]

How about some pre cert logos!

[@Nathan3208alt]

The 1980 pre-cert logo is only there, I didn't include the 1981 logo with the warning text and the 20th Century-Fox byline.

[@NikitaFilatovFan3040]

Where are the others of Magnetic Video?

[@Nathan3208alt]

I couldn't find them on the internet (unless you're asking about fake variants), and I only have a few Magnetic VHS's, but just not so much. (I haven't added more of them yet.)

[@NikitaFilatovFan3040]

Oh, no. I think there's some more.

[@Nathan3208alt]

So, do you have any video links? I've only read about these variants you're mentioning, I just haven't seen them yet.

[@DilanCommunications]

@@Nathan3208altthere’s a black and white version of this logo with Pathé News as it’s dealer.

[@SpongOfficial]

Why do logo kids nowdays mistake it for the m&m’s music

What is Magnetic video even known for??..

[@MadameSomnambule]

The earliest vhs distributor that worked with a lot of production companies to release movies on tape before the likes of 20th Century Fox Home Video became a thing. In fact, 20th Century Fox bought out Magnetic Video in 1979 and eventually made it their own vhs distributor.

Companies Magnetic Video had deals with 20th Century Fox Viacom International The Estate Of Charles Chaplin Avco Embassy Brut Productions ABC Video Enterprises ITC Entertainment United Artists Corporation Viacom Magnetic Video Sports Otto Preminger And Carlisle Productions

[@oldtimegaming5082]

They also should've made deals with CBS and the Rankin Bass companies to put the older RANKIN BASS Christmas specials on VHS late 1977 or 1978 Like Rudolph 1964, Santa Claus is comin to town, and frosty 1969.

[@Nathan3208alt]

@thomasbarnett9376 Stop spamming on this video with fake announcements for companies Magnetic never had deals with like M&M's, Disney or Shout Factory! M&M's is a food company, Magnetic didn't release Disney movies on home video, and Shout Factory wasn't founded until 2003 or so! So stop doing that!

[@MadameSomnambule]

I see those kind of comments in so SO many logo videos and it's kinda annoying. So I'm with you there.
