  • what TV show or a Movie is that from?

  • WARNING: This logo is scary, please hide in your closets when you see this logo. By The Way: NICE KITTY!

  • NICE KITTY...

  • C'mon everybody- let's sing with the lion logo! One, two, three!

    Boomboomboom-TEE!  WAHHH!!...eh-ehhhhh...WAHHH!!.­..eh-EHH-AYYYY!!

  • I think that the "bombastic/dramatic" observation is good. I would say that the entire 1960s were the heyday of hyper-dramatic ID jingles. After all, the 1960s closed with Dominic Frontiere's "Closet Killer" Paramount one in 1969.

    In 1960 when this logo first appeared, it would have been exceptional due to the fact that something moved at all in it. Remember, in-credit disclaimers were still the norm back then.

    Oh yes I was easily scared by logos as a kid, too! lol

  • @westpoint64 I think this logo just didn't age too well; back in '61 this was probably the norm, most logos at the time were bombastic/dramatic (Mark VII is a good example) and scary in comparison to today's logos, so this wouldn't be considered all that scary for the time.

    Or maybe it was considered scary but you just weren't easily scared as a kid ;)

  • @LogoFan121092 I know! I sometimes catch myself thinking, "Did they actually take a lot of time to put the jingle together?" The beginning sounds so harsh and ominous, like music to a horror film, then you have this brassy, almost Screen Gems 1955 ending or something.

    I recall seeing this logo a few times as a kid when reruns of National Velvet would run on my local station. It is a wonder that I wasn't scared to death of this.

  • This logo's music DOES NOT fit in with the bright flourish at the end. Brrrr....

  • @troyboy7962 I believe it's from the ending of "National Velvet" (the TV series, not the movie).

  • Wow, what a super scary logo!
