By the way, here's something I don't quite understand. In the UK, where they show Father Dowling Mysteries on ITV3, they have some pretty strange Viacom logos:
Season 1: V of Steel (original warp speed from 1986) used for majority of episodes
Season 2: V of Steel abridged variant plastered over by Wigga Wigga
THIS IS THE STRANGEST PART...
Season 3: Wigga Wigga replaced by CBS Broadcast International? WTF? This is a Viacom show, not a fucking CBS show!
Back in the day when I saw this logo after a tv show, I should have realized that it would be the last time I'd be able to ever see that episode again. Up your viacom bitch!
The announcer reminds me of the dude that said the Nintendo logo from that creepy Gamecube game. You know, the one that drives you insane by randomly cutting off your head and pretending to delete your saves?
Viacom is going too far. Not only are they devils on YouTube, they are also devils on TV. They think they can copy Sony by plastering their old logos (and that includes the all-too-heavenly V of Steel) with this eyesore-ish pile of crap. Then it only gets worse... thanks to CBS Television Distribution.
But they are no worse than... Sony itself!!! The torch lady is fading... from television!!!
I dunno why people find this one scary, it honestly has a kind of funny and calming feel to it and reminds me of my childhood in a good way. Not that a lot of old ads like this DIDN'T scare me, and probably still would (I'm actually going through a tvtropes list of them now, haha).
You people need to do some research before you go bashing "VIACOM"! The original Viacom company started in 1971 and ended in 2005. This logo was used previous to 2005. In 2006 a new company, a spin off of Viacom was created also using the name Viacom. If you see a Viacom logo in orange letters(the post-2005 logo), bash at that, not the original Viacom!
Viacom owns....... your house your car you your credit card spongebob youtube google dreamworks arrdman animations Lets face it people, viacom is a bunch of power hungry fuck wads
Viacom one thing.......Fuck You Sons of bitches You Cock Sucking Donkey Lickers May You Die In A Wild Fire Slowly You Are The Fakest People I Have Ever Seen So..... Go Die You Geeky Fags see how i did everything in caps thats how much i mean it =)
viacom freakin sucks!with all their copyright stuff!i am so scared of viacom now!they are puttin copyright stuff on youtube their selfs and posing as other people and taking it down and getting maney off it!i dont curse but this is important!
Of all the TV logos that I've seen growing up as a kid, this one is the one I remember the best, most likely b/c of that deep voice announcing "VIACOM".
Oddly enough, I can't remember what shows used this logo!
Hey JohnnyL80, When ABC Family Airs The Dr Seuss TV Specials Produced By CBS starting in 1971, and when they air the first two Charlie Brown movies, do they play the Wigga Wigga Logo? or a different logo?
Yeah man they used to have Twilight Zone marathons on sci fi (Oh whoops, it's scyfy now) and this would be displayed after each episode so whenever this showed up I knew that that creepy ass theme song would be right after it. Long story short, it scares me too.
@AcTNBumpChannel YUP. Last winter I was watching a Twilight Zone marathon with my friends and I had to close my eyes and cover my ears and go "LALALALALA" each time an episode ended.
LOL I used to be afraid of this logo when I was little because of the guys voice but now I think it's pretty cool and it brings back memories from the early 90's
I know there's 12 second version of "The Giant Silver V", where the jingle fades out slower, and the radiant light behind the V rotates, causing it to shine three more times. (Seen only on The Adventures of Little Koala, Rawhide, and select episodes of Perry Mason.)
But an extended version of THIS LOGO? This I have to see! I'm sure the Closing Logo Group has never heard of this!
Not even scary in the least......
