Scary TV Logos

[@AwkwardBlackGal613]

That Hanna Barbers just warmed my heart. Ahh childhood 🤗

[@chrisrj9871]

Definitely not scary... they're probably thinking of the later version where it looks more metallic and sharper.

[@baraxor]

The one for Desilu was used for "Mission Impossible". Coming after the pulse-pounding MI theme, the logo would have little effect.

[@PS41263]

How people found any of these logos or music scary is beyond me.

[@CreesNostalgiaHut]

It was the creepy music,,,, for ones like weiss global after MAKE ROOM FOR DADDY.. i used to laugh at viacom though.. remind me of a LOONEY TUNES toon with the train coming out of the tunnel..

[@applescruff1969]

1:14 I can picture a child being scared of this as well as the Viacom logo simply because children are scared of weird things like this. The NET logo has some slightly off-putting music as well.

[@barbarakirk3064]

The Paramount logo with Gulf & Western at the bottom always makes me think of 'Engulf & Devour' in Mel Brooks's Silent Movie!

[@russellgroenewoud9199]

Why does the one on 0:20 remind me of William Street from Adult Swim?

[@ArchiverUnknown]

Because William Street ripped off Mark VII

[@xcxboi6780]

Russell Groenewoud the sound

[@qpol]

same sound.

[@pinkykitty3170]

I don’t know why but I’m scared of Williams street

[@8_pz]

That’s the original sound from the 70s WS is from 2001

[@pip12111]

Lorimar is very soothing

[@goldta70schick78]

The NBC peacock and Screen Gems always spooked me!

[@evanisovich]

So crazy that Starry Night Productions (Night Court) was never on any of these lists. Nothing scares me more as a kid.

[@8_pz]

Aaa

[@dusicamitic3763]

[@baraxor]

The old PBS logo didn't scare me, because I associate it with the "good old days" of 1970s PBS. What was a little scary back then was tuning KQED to see a silent station ID card; back then promos were few and so when a show ended ten, fifteen or more minutes before the next one there would just be dead air and the ID card.

[@sralyn]

That opening P sound went through my head like a nail. Still does to this very day.

[@LeKoss]

0:00 Viacom Logo scared me as a kid back in the day 🥲👍

[@damienchance2622]

Me too All Three of them

[@nicholasjennings6024]

For me, it was the Ruby Spears logo followed by the Lorimar-Telepictures logo with the dreaded 3 jingles after the Alvin and the chipmunks credits in the late 80's or so. Deadly combo. 😄😄😄😄😄

[@pip12111]

When ITC came on the screen you knew Space1999 was next

[@DTD110865]

And before that, it was "The Avengers." Is it weird that I never found the so-called "Screen Gems S from Hell" to be that scary? The "NBC Snake" is another story.

[@ColeWalker]

Pretty sure this is actually a re-upload of “Scary Logos From Our Childhood” which is why people remember seeing it before.

[@effend446]

Any logo from the 1960's/early 1970's, to me, is construed as scary. CBS' color ID (1966) also comes to mind. Probably because of the poor video/audio quality back then. Maybe if I just turned down the volume........not as scary.

[@xarlyrodriguez6436]

NBC logo is not Scary. The Peacock it's (4me) the most Beautifull logo in the Universe.

[@jwckauman]

it scared me for some reason in 1976. glad I'm not the only one...

[@uebergeek]

​@@jwckauman Scared me too, a few years earlier! Partly the sudden transformation from fluff to bird (which is hard to tell here because of the slow frame rate.) The other scary thing, as with many of these old logos: high pitched music played through shrill old TV speakers, heard through young ears that could unfortunately pick up every ear-splitting, skin-crawling harmonic. The logos with early electronic music were the worst, but those tinny speakers could turn almost any instrumentation into a screeching mess.

[@jwckauman]

@@uebergeek it is wild how this is a real phenomenon. That so many people shared.

[@maidstone1982]

i agree

[@VYT738]

Theres a b&w one that while in the ident the fucking peacock has a seizure

[@8_pz]

0:27 this logo is the original of the Williams Street logo audio

[@estherbrown4102]

The UBU one scared me when I was a kid. I think it was due to the disembodied voices.

[@sralyn]

I thought it was peculiar.

[@sebakha]

Take a look at ВИD logo. That's what scary.

[@ryanperez1999]

You forgot Warner Bros. Television logo. That always scared me.

[@Aramanth]

Screen Gems scared me as a kid. As did ITC. The Mark VII logo is unsettling... Rankin Bass is not on the list but that's the worst to me! I like Lorimar & Ubu. The United Artists for some reason I expect a loud sound when the brackets meet... Nice collection here!

[@wr70beh]

I think you nailed them all for me. Mark VII even unsettled me in my 40s after watching Adam-12 reruns. Some things just stay dormant inside you just waiting to come out.

[@8_pz]

Who is scared of Ubu Productions?

[@Aramanth]

@@8_pz LOL I agree. Some of these logos are endearing, even beautiful like Lorimar, NBC, Hanna-Barbera, and ITC. Even though ITC disturbs me a little. The fanfare is ominous.

[@8_pz]

@@AramanthDA DA DA DAAAAAAAAA It’s the Muppet show with our very special guest ITC’s not only scary because of the fanfare, the spinning shape makes you feel uneasy. Also how the text “From ITC Entertainment” zooms in. The flower logo was better. The fanfare came from it’s 60s Compass logo.

[@Aramanth]

@@8_pz It's funny what emotions are evoked by these images. The Screen Gems logo makes me feel trapped while as you said with the ITC logo a feeling of unease. LOL So glad that KZbin has become my "Logo Support Group!".

[@goldta70schick78]

I think a lot of times, in my opinion, it's not the logos that are scary , it's the music. Like Screen Gems, PBS, and the unnerving flute in the NBC peacock. Those always spooked me as a kid!

[@8_pz]

The flute:) I hated it too! I had this repetitive dream as a toddler that they would play a music video then show this, I was terrified! Note: who was scared of the swirling star only because of the music?

[@davidl570]

Screen Gems and NBC were scary but (as a kid) I never found the PBS logo scary. Actually thought the music was kind of cool-sounding!

[@tracyperry3595]

Of all the scary logos, the Screen Gems dancing sticks logo, and the 1960s ABC zoom focus along with various other logos gave me nightmares.

[@CreesNostalgiaHut]

The nbc peacock reminded me of snl..

[@lisakobarandaspastickraut714]

I'm terrified just reading about that!!

[@johnirwin4056]

I once had a girlfriend who gave a Dennys waitress what I called "The Viacom Look", she tried to keep her look pleasant (the white letters), but she was rather perturbed (V of doom), at the waitress's persistence.

[@dennisdaguman4220]

Where's DIC? The one after Captain Planet end credits? That was effin scary to me.

[@DTD110865]

I still vaguely remember a video that showed the evolution of "DIC" through the years.

[@effend446]

NFL Films 1969 - Now that's a scary (closing) logo.

[@streetstallion]

Okay Metromedia is my favorite. That doesn’t even go close to scaring me 😊

[@DTD110865]

I wish I could find the one for WNEW

[@TR3XProductions1stChannel]

didn't you upload this before? I remembered seeing the old version :P

[@bruhchamp16593]

thanks for noticing that, this video introduced me into the “scary logo” shtick like a decade ago

[@sralyn]

PBS will always be the scariest logo. Scarier than Paramount closet killer, V of Doom or S from Hell

[@davidl570]

Will have to disagree with that.........................for me Paramount, V of Doom and S from Hell were ALL a lot scarier than PBS. Actually liked the PBS logo and music (as a kid).

[@chelle967]

What is so scary about these?

[@applescruff1969]

If you're a child, it's scary.

[@doorswhofan]

What are these *actually* called in television industry parlance?

[@doorswhofan]

Never mind, found my info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production_logo

[@bandito_burrito]

Adult Swim uses the sounds from MARK VII

[@citizenterryk]

when played backwards the peacock logo music clearly says "NBC programming is crap"

[@Castlevaniadragon]

[@lynnathornhill8326]

I don’t necessarily get the “scary” in most of these.

[@harukoharuhara1863]

I don't think Simitar is a TV logo

[@Emmaemma1xoxoij]

Lorimar

[@maidstone1982]

the V just wanted to say hi

[@davidl570]

C'mon, how is the UBU Productions logo scary? It just shows a cute doggie with a frisbee in its mouth and its owner telling little UBU to sit. If it showed the dog attacking someone or bearing his teeth at the camera, that'd be a different story!

[@davidl570]

@Jay La Okay, I can understand that!

[@baraxor]

Almost all disembodied voices are scary or at least creepy.

[@davidl570]

@@baraxor Yeah, at least most of them are, but the UBU voice didn't scare me as a kid--I actually found it hilarious! (Probably helps that his voice doesn't sound dark or menacing). But that's just me. *shrug*

[@CreesNostalgiaHut]

Ubu reminded me of a friend who had a dog,,,, gave me chase the chuck wagon for atari as a gift..

[@tesshope4449]

How did you not include Georgia Peach?

[@8_pz]

i was scared of that logo when i was little.

[@8_pz]

Use the UA Logo from 1983 Edit: oh it was a film logo

Yeah

[@8_pz]

The loud flourishing music at the end way to ruin the beginning of a boxing movie 😂 they also should’ve included the cbs logo that goes into the eye and says “cbs television presentation”
