RKO Pictures Logo History

Me, about age 7, seeing the 1933 KING KONG (an RKO production): "But, Dad, didn't you tell me that back then, radio didn't HAVE pictures?"

FANTASTIC LOGO HISTORY! RKO's logo is yet another one of the iconic film studio logos. The concept is pretty creative for a logo, plus the 1929 logo (opening, 6:24), like many other logos of the 1920s-1960s, has great use of live-action modeling and special effects since CGI wasn't a thing back then ('till the 1970s I guess?), and the 1996 logo (16:23) is a fantastic CGI reboot of the logo.

The "Radio" came from RCA's boss, David Sarnoff. Film Booking Office was morphed into Radio-Keith-Orpheum in 1927-28, worked in conjunction with Pathe' between 1928-32, and ended filmmaking operations in April 1957, selling the production company and studios to Desilu, which would later be sold to their neighbors on Melrose Avenue, Paramount Pictures. The RKO globe remains, but the radio tower's gone and it just says "Paramount" now.

I remember when RKO (RKO General, Inc.), was owned by Akron, Ohio-based General Tire and Rubber Company, Inc. (later renamed GenCorp, Inc.) It owned WOR-TV, Channel 9, WOR - 710 am and WXLO - 98.7 fm in New York City. RKO Radio and Television are no longer in business, due to General Tire's business shenanigans the 1970's and 1980's. 👌
