[@loganroberts8223]

The RCA video discs logo actually helps to calm my nerves and to relax my mind... Anyone else agree?

[@julianthefantastic7429]

Same here Logan Roberts

[@lexiconmorrison7902]

Agreed 😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉.

[@LuOli2]

Totally agree. (◕ᴗ◕✿)

[@Angelina24yt]

@@julianthefantastic7429 Me too.....😴😴😴😴

[@IronheadOfScroteus]

My favorite:Mk VII LTD. I used to get my dad's claw hammer and chisel and try to make roman numerals in a piece of steel. It was not as easy as the logo made it look,lol!

[@VWDAWGXP]

And Williams street

[@beckyroberts8433]

The RCA Select-A-Vision Videodisc soothed me.

[@mekman4]

Yeah, some of these are pretty jarring. Powerful! Scary! Corporate Logos, Attack! You are on an alien-ship, you are being held against your will and you are being mutated, mwa-ha-ha!

[@mcwhiterose5395]

3:10 Cant stop watching it.

[@AllisimaProductions]

Yeah, its one of my favs

[@mana_beast_beats1114]

Why does it sound so familiar.

[@AlternativeLoffen]

@@mana_beast_beats1114 Mussorgsky's promenade picture at an exhibition cover by isao tomita.

[@silveryote1]

2:11 So THAT'S where Williams Street got the sound!

[@OzzyMandez]

The BBC one sent shivers down my spine. I remember that one...I feel old now.

[@barbarakirk3064]

It was on my copy of The Singing Detective.

[@fml0653]

3:33 My favorite. Scary, in a badass way.

[@bathroomshy]

I remember the first one from TeleTubbies. Used to love that show....

[@alexpalmer9101]

The PBS one at 3:00 is my favorite. I actually remember that one from over 30 years ago. Classic.

[@joeh8847]

My god, this brings back so many memories of watching VCR tapes in the glory days of the early 80's.

[@pinkylauren1879]

When Chiller reruns old episodes of Tales from the darkside they still play that World Vision one afterward

[@BlackMaleSpirituality]

I don't even know some of these logos and I still get that nostalgic feeling.

[@TheDemoniusX]

if I seen BND as a kid I'd probably have a heart attack.

[@tossingturnips]

4:16 The audience is now deaf.

[@mrwtuber1217]

4:16

[@suzunakuraki3747]

I was listening to the sound on the Mark VII Limited logo, and wondered: "Where did I hear that before" And then it hit me: That was the same sound Williams Street used for their logo. LOL

[@pixel1358]

Suzuna Kuraki Don't forget [Adult Swim].

[@NostalgiCrazy]

Pixel That's where the Williams Street logo shows... lol

[@bathroomshy]

4:10 OH MY GOD I HAD THIS ON MY TOY STORY VHS AS A YOUNG CHILD

[@KennyAtom]

Had what?

[@jacklynfrost93]

+jerkthemiiverseguy jerk i think he ment the thx logo

[@KennyAtom]

Oh i didn't pay attention to the times so sorry about that,thatstuff

[@mrwtuber1217]

Also on ice age

[@TheLaughingVampire]

I remember the first time I saw that THX logo. I had the TV volume really loud and scared the shit out of me. 5:44 WHY WOULD ANYONE PUT THAT ON A LOGO?!

[@jammer1]

I used to have the THX "music" on minidisc just to have it as my alarm in the morning. These are great.

[@AngusArtEntertainment]

3:09 - We used to have hundreds of titles on those old VideoDiscs!

[@SmythTheCrow]

THX for adding that logo

[@MrSean64]

Pun city!

[@beckyroberts8433]

The GoldenVision one scared the crap outta me when I was a kid...

[@rockysantana6897]

6:00 my favorite one, using this for a movie in one of my classes

[@FernieCanto]

That Simitar logo is such a drama queen.

[@mechanismeight9565]

It's still badass

[@snorlaxmd]

A lot of these logos remind me of the future that I figured would come about sooner or later in my childish mind in the '80s. I always pictured buttons everywhere and lasers and all that. Especially the Genesis logo. Screen Gems never scared me. Viacom does a little, but it also brings back memories. What were the RKO guys thinking?! Too many coke parties in the '80s. Knowing the histories behind Bryanston and BИD make them that much scarier.

[@zbr76]

4:26 - Old Rocky VHS! Oh the glory days of that old UA logo!

[@barbarakirk3064]

And numerous James Bond films shown on ITV.

[@nikhatem9406]

4:26

[@DFX4509B]

4:59 sounds like a stretched Mac bootup chime.

[@SwedishActress]

Always jumpes when the THX logo appeared, the sound is so high that the TV almost broke

[@angelagreen5208]

Yeah, I used to run out of the room in order to avoid that annoying thing.

[@harukoharuhara1863]

Absolutely terrifying,same with WGBH

[@YoshiAngemon]

That BND Logo, it was the basis for the logo for Daimando's channel, years ago.

[@ctntelevisionnetwork8738]

I was 3 years old when this video got uploaded. The time this video was new.... I started to form nostalgia

[@NoEntertainment]

There's a lot of somewhat terrifying logos in here.

[@whammy850]

FINALLY a good quality version of Simitar!!! THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!!!!

[@Canadianlegoboy]

Thanks for that - very useful for reference for creating / emulating retro look and feel

[@WhiteScarsEmo]

A lot of VHS tapes from my childhood started with the VideoDiscs logo. lol

[@NewWorldRob]

Loved it . Classic upload.

[@ProducerTyler__]

I'm not that old but I remember the paramount one and the THX one

[@Oren618]

BND was FUCKING SCARY! really, I screamed XD

[@PingerSurprise]

I just discovered that the music for SelectaVision's logo (the most viewed part of the video!) is Mussorgsky's Promenade. The more you know.

[@Dewotto]

If you look closely the view askew clown is flipping you the bird.

[@bheffley2002]

@MrExctbhj The Viacom logo you were talking about is the V of Doom.

[@beautifulpromisex3]

OMG lmao, thanks for uploading these ! WTF's with the view askew one... little boy sitting playing with a ball, clown comes in, gets undressed, comes back out wearing glittery heels and sexy socks XD..as if clowns weren't freaky enough.

[@CelesteK]

5:28 WTF is that? LMFAO!

[@beckyroberts8433]

Video Treasures...Another classic!

[@HowieP]

5:08 That one is legendary!

[@ZipDesignPro]

5:08

[@kevininjc]

Wish they kept the old BBC logo that appeared at the end of stuff that was broadcast in the USA. Mark VII was pretty simple, but impressive. I wish they'd bring the old PBS. Screen Gems is always a good one. WGBH - always meant something *great* was about to come on.

[@BobbyHarveyVideoProductions]

I still think that RKO 9 is the scariest...but the OECA logo is in a close second! Great compilation, and pretty good quality on some of those.

[@heysolley]

If you get high and watch this over and over, you'll go back in time.

[@gabea_731]

If the ''S from Hell'' or the ''Paramount Closet Killer'' appeared in the pilots of the Filipino TV series ''Ikaw Lamang''.......

[@GoseiGuyProductions]

This was originally known as “The Good Ol’ Days: Nostalgic Logos”

[@ShotgunTony]

love the way you presented them in alphabetical order :)

[@MORPHOSYS]

I want the audio for the WGBH one as a ringtone to be completely honest. It sounds so awesome! I don't find it anywhere near scary.

[@Stinkydo0d]

+Harlow Embick Same! If anything, it's nostalgic to me!

[@NLind]

stinkydo0d Same here, whenever I saw/heard it I knew that I would soon be watching a house get remodeled or a piece of furniture being made.

[@Margann1987]

That would be an amazing ringtone! I use the Viacom pinball for mine.

[@TheNoSensei]

WTF. That View Askew one scared the fuck out of me. lmao.

[@pacific707]

I think it's the audio themes that make them so scary. Some of them are an "assault" on the ears. Nicely put together, by the way.

[@tinkerbell3628]

2:09 Aqua Teen Hunger Force Adult Swim Logo Sound

[@citizenterryk]

hey, it's great that you had a couple of vintage 60s-70s logos here(yeah, i'm THAT old)......especially the SFH......long live the King!!

[@natsirt69]

The Worldvision logo sounds like the fanfare on View Askew.

[@grievousdude9634]

The logos nostalgic to me: RCA Selectavision - JRAF Jingles 2004, Simitar - Baseball Bloopers VHS 2006, BBC - Wallace and Gromit A Grand Day Out VHS 2010, WGBH/BP/Renaissance Pictures/RKO TV/BND VID - KZbin 2008, THX Broadway - Bambi 55th VHS (first time seeing THX/enduring THXphobia), Paramount - It's The Easter Beagle Charlie Brown, Walt Disney Home Video - Pooh/Singalong VHS tapes, F.H.E. - Rudolf (original) VHS, Genesis - Real Stories of the Highway Patrol 2008, UA - Black Stallion Returns CBS/FOX VHS 2004, Video Treasures - It's A Wonderful Life colorized VHS 2006

[@GlenTindal]

The View Askew Productions logo is .... very disturbing! What was the artist thinking???

[@TK7official]

Hey guys ? I'm sure it will be a good time I've been a while back

[@insiderjokevids]

Holy shit, the disney one at the beginning got me bad.

[@brandonefron2064]

Viacom Acquired Paramount in 1994 and Started Releasing Clueless in 1995 on VHS and LaserDisc With a DVD Version in 1999 as Well as a Blu-ray Disc Version in 2012. The Paramount Home Video Website is Shown Only on DVDs Such as Clueless and Clockstoppers.

[@disneyfan4889]

Video Treasures creeps me

[@KennyAtom]

Holy god, the THX one scared me as a 5 year ole, because we had THX-certified discs and vhs.

[@veelalynne]

Yeah...that View Askew one creeped me out -all "John Wayne Gacy"- and all...and the Renaissance one was scary as hell.

[@Just1nHale]

2:08..the hand holding the hammer is Jack Webb of Dranet fame.

[@SuperhyperC]

thx that crap scared the hell out of me when i was little D:

[@coolpiza]

Ha Aphex Twin and TV Idents: you are a man after my own heart.

[@hindsighter]

What do you mean at 4:26 by "this is not old"? That United Artists logo is from the early '80s. And it always gave me the goose flesh, by the way.

[@nocturnalfolf6097]

Seeing the WBGH Boston logo late at night used to scare me as a very young kid.

[@Riqstone]

4:45 UA is a skinny legend

[@RageTVHTX]

At 2:53 - The Paramount Closet Killer logo!

[@dpchase84]

Selectavision has my heart.

[@NovaXP]

I only remember: BBC (from wallace and gromit) Disney (from most VHS videos) Paramount (From top gun) FHE (From the magic school bus I think) THX (from lots of things) WGBH but I forgot what It was from

[@jeffmissinne3866]

Mark VII Limited was Jack Webb's (Dragnet) production company, and those were his own hands holding the hammer and die. He eventually sold his company to Universal.

[@logoarchivecollectioncompa19]

POSITIVE LOGO

[@pythonfan1]

That animation for Video Askew Productions, Inc. is just wrong!

[@Saranaprasadam]

yeah!

[@SamShadow93]

It's from the beginning of the first Clerks movie.

[@diegogarcia8217]

Yes

[@meganhussey972]

It is--thankfully the studio replaced it with an animated clip of Jay and Silent Bob that's too cute--as opposed to too creepy!

[@brandonefron2064]

Since When Miramax Films Worked with View Askew? Those logos appeared in Jersey Girl (2002; PG-13; Romantic Comedy).

[@raph5633]

Where is Pioneer Laserdisc ? The best of all times 🥰

[@lexiconmorrison7902]

0:52 The Walt Disney Home Video logo!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩! Loving it! How about you? Like if you do, because it will spark your imagination!

[@xBEEKAYRANDEEx]

ВИD is a little creepy yes... but view askew... HOLY SHIT! D=

[@ShatzeeSammy1992]

The end of the BP logo sounds like a distorted wedding march

[@letcreate123]

I know for a fact the second logo scares almost everyone..EXCEPT ME! :D

[@adambarber7409]

Ack! Video Treasures scares me when the words come this close!

[@failboat1998]

*Bryanston Pictures, logo used from 1972-1976.

[@Stinkydo0d]

@mrlegofan404 I know. But Bryanston pictures is back, but they are just a private company now.

[@tomosburton1756]

I saw some men doing some roadwork the other day and thought of the Mark VII logo.

[@richerDiLefto]

Damn, that one at 5:09 is the stuff of *night terrors!*

[@skystarless]

Never seen that BP one before. Creepy!

[@getexecutedson]

The BND logo sounded like a bad guy appeared

[@snorlaxmd]

Every time you see the Bryanston Pictures logo ... the Columbo crime family tracks it. Now -- they're coming for you ... and all rats DIE!!!!! Sounds like a good idea for a horror movie. :-) A cheesy one.

[@cornishchris8404]

Paramount, THX, United Artists, RCA Selevtivision

[@jacklynfrost93]

haha paramont and thx scared me too but its not that bad anymore tbh

[@adrianwtf6666]

THE OECA Logo

[@valledesertico]

Damn this is from 20009.

[@cc10266]

The Mark VII's fanfare is the same as Williams Street.

[@pixel1358]

2:10 [Adult Swim]?

[@Stinkydo0d]

+Pixel That's where they got the sound.

[@Davidevgen]

the (sega) genesis logo is awesome!

[@davidpar2]

heh--interesting. the first part of the "golden video" logo is creepy, or "scary," if you will. but the second part is relaxing and very pleasant

[@lolbitfromucn4448]

5:08 666 Confirmed

[@borgduck]

@CrystalJupiter What about darkness if you're watching at night?

[@BTCRAILFILMS]
