Public Broadcasting Service logo 1971-1985

The infamous Tri-Coloured Everyman P-Heads logo, which was shown from October 1971 until mid 1984, when the Split-Profile P-Head logo became PBS's new logo although the Tri Coloured P-Head logo was still seen on new episodes of PBS shows until November of 1985. This was also, according to the Closing Logo Groups, one of the scariest logos in the history of television, due to its startlingly primitive animation and frightening moog synthesizer tones including a sound like a telephone at the beginning. I was slightly unnerved when I first saw it, but I have gotten used to this logo and I along with a lot of logo fan who do not shake in fear when watching this logo consider it a classic. But for some of you guys who ran to the closets whenever this logo came on as a child, please watch at your own risk.

I know this sounds stupid, but I could listen to that all day. I miss the late 70's and early 80's.

This reminds me of watching "Mr. Rogers Neighborhood", especially the 1969-75 episodes that I saw via reruns during the mid-late 1980s....fun times.
