It gets me emotional too... it's a wonderful family memory, thinking about spending the late evening/night with my family as a child. It's the best 6 seconds on YouTube!
@Flogboy I wholeheartedly agree. I get goosebumps with both that ID and the CBC Radio News stinger ID. Less from the exploding pineapple but I vivdly remember it. Such an omnipotent graphic, but it brings back so many convivial memories.
Funny, I remember when I was 3 or 4 years old I used to hide behind the TV whenever this came on. Watching it again today on YouTube, I have no idea why.
Growing up as a preschooler in the mid to late 80s, this logo scared the living hell out of me. When CBC news vans would drive by I would flip out and duck down in my seat real low. I was convinced that it was the source of some unspeakable evil.
Years later my girlfriend made me sit through five minutes of Sophie, and realized that I'd been right all along.
I feel sad to hear that you still had nightmares about this logo seven years after they changed it... after CBC changed their logo in late 1992, I quickly forgot about it, until I saw this 15 years later.
It's very pretty.

It's so strange that other people feel the same way.
I thought I was the only one.

I saw this logo when I was growing up...when the CBC was worth something...before the millions of dollars in cutbacks in the early 1990's...

I loved this ID for CBC, including the colours, too, looks like either royal blue or purple. Thanks for this vid!

This is the nighttime version of CBC's 1986 television IDs.
