Johnny L80 came back

[@MrDIRECTOREIGHT]

i meant his original channel, but i still am kinda skeptical about that new channel. i can't tell if it's actually him or just someone trying to pose as him, cuz on his original channel he hadn't uploaded anything in like years.

[@SloshedMail]

Some of these variants belong to me (also known as Sloshy); I originally sent them to Pepsi9072. May you add me in the credits?

[@MrDIRECTOREIGHT]

@@SloshedMail sure, thanks for letting me know

[@SloshedMail]

You're very welcome. On the description of Pepsi9072's videos there should also mention a thanks or "submission sent by" which is where some of these came from. Hopefully this helps in the future when it comes to finding out true sources.

It's amazing to think that the music they used (starting with Revue dropping from the alphabet strips) has survived DECADES in some form or another. They modified it a bit at a time, but the basic tune still lives.

[@MrDIRECTOREIGHT]

Yeah they never actually changed the theme until 1975, which is crazy to think. And if you really wanna dive further, MCA TV gave the original Revue theme a resurgence from 1984 all the way up to 1991, so they never fully gave up the Revue theme until 1991. That's 30+ years that they were using that theme right there!

[@windows17pro94]

The crazy part is that you can still hear that song some other times in this video, even in our days (to my knowledge)! This song surely will never die, just like SpongeBob SquarePants. You can hear it here! 17:59

That MCA Tv in da 80's was something like a goddamn ticking time bomb or a countdown, but the truth be told about the logo, I have nightmares as a kid.

[@DLCOrganization]

WOW! You actually LEFT OUT the *Television Distribution* version of the 2004 NBC Universal logo ON PURPOSE! WHY?

[@MrDIRECTOREIGHT]

Because 1. We would be here forever, and 2. The Television Distribution part of that company is different of the Television Studio division, which was the result of Universal Television merging with NBC Studios.

[@DLCOrganization]

#3. That's a copout,@@MrDIRECTOREIGHT -- because you had the Television Distribution variants of the 1997 Universal Television logo here and that is the EXACT SAME DIVISION we're speaking of! Also, your audience would NOT have complained another 30 seconds being added to a LOGO HISTORY video, so nobody's buying the answer you just gave. BY THE WAY -- I am NOT talking about the purple logo with the ugly minimalist text that came years later.

[@MrDIRECTOREIGHT]

Ok, I will not take this slander. I started working on this video since my birthday last year and had multiple problems trying to find the best quality videos (which for some of these logos and variants, it just wasn't possible) and with editing it, because my editing software isn't really the best and it crashes half the time. I had to start this video over from scratch twice (you would've known that if you had checked my Twitter, I was posting frequently about this video.) Also if I had included the Television Distribution division (which I'll be honest, I should've done more research and included it), I would've also had to include not just the shitty logo from 2011, but also the Syndication Studios logo since that's their new name. And I already mentioned most of this stuff in the description. And plus I thought it just made since to only include the Television Studio division, because the current Universal Television that it became in 2011 is just a production division after all, and so was NBC Universal Television Studio and Universal Media Studios. Again, I should've included the Television Distribution division, but don't just look at this as me copping out on everybody and make it look like I just didn't feel like including it. I'm not mad at your comment either, I'm just tryna clear some things up here.
