Paramount "Closet Killer" recreation

Made in Flash 8. An attempt at making a high quality, clean version of the old Paramount Television logo -- one of the lesser known nightmare-fuel vanity plates but one of the most intense, in my opinion. Graphic courtesy of Best Brands of the Word (brandsoftheworld.com); text uses the Eurostile and Akzidenz-Grotesk fonts.

My understanding is that the music director here is Lalo Schifrin ("Mission Impossible")

That does not surprise me. Have you ever heard the custom Desilu vanity plate that ran at the end of that program? It's almost as bad as this one.

@t40onbass I think the composer of this jingle was Dominic Frontiere. It only lasted one season (1969-70).

Closet Killer FTW!

I could had been faster IMO.

@2000rubs It's a simple animation effect Flash has. I just made the whole graphic an object, blew it way up in the last frame, and added a "motion tween" to it.

This is probably what it would've looked like if it was videotaped. Similar to the "V of Doom" used in the 80's.

Nice!

Boy, Lalo had his hand in all kinds of stuff huh?

[WhatsAYak]

Very well done! :-)

Update:

A possibly better match for the font for the mentioned details instead of QuickType II is Akzidenz-Grotesk Medium.

Correction:

"A DIVISION OF PARAMOUNT PICTURES CORPORATION" should be written in QuickType II Bold, the same as "A Gulf + Western Company"
