Seeing some of these makes me feel deeply sad. Like I just connected to brief glimmers of so many forgotten memories that I will never fully relive. I'll never know what it means to be a kid again.
This is a very astute comment on the nature of nostalgia and memory. What's interesting about the logos is how they are VERY END of programs and movies - certain companies appearing on many different programs. In the 1970s I'd probably seen the Thames company logo 100s of times because of its association to shows I watched as a kid. So in many ways the programs themselves are blurred in memory but not the end credit logo. Much like a TV theme song. You might not remember a particular Gilligan's Island episode, but everyone remembers it's theme song. For an added level of memory and nostalgia, each decade truly involves it's own production aesthetic in music. This is why many musicians check out these clips - because they are looking for the particular analog sounds that embody the 70s and 80s that people of a certain age truly experienced and absorbed as a child. So the logos represent both a visual and musical memory connected to even more memories revolving around fun programs, growing up and lazy days with family (who you share a lot of TV with).
Yea, I can see how someone who is very into the aesthetics of VHS logos and the music might get annoyed if it's mismatched. For me the series represents more of a feeling of the time period - the niftiness of the graphics and the impactful nature of analog synth music; it's not necessarily a video as documentation/reference guide. But 95% of the logos have the correct music. Periodically I'll run across a logo where it actually has NO music or one that the music has been too degraded or muffled from the source material. In that case I'll switch it out for some other really cool electronic retro music from people like Raymond Scott, John Baker and Ben Zimmerman. I'm glad you've watched them - There probably will be a part VIII! If you like the old synth music, come back in a couple of weeks, I've been working on a video with a retro book/library theme. My biggest regret with the series so far is that I didn't list all the logos in the info section.
I'm sorry TH-cam took a couple of these down: One because of a music copyright claim, and another because it had snatches of nudity in it because it was a logo from an adult video company.
We used your collection to make this: th-cam.com/video/vdaWGmTLF6Q/w-d-xo.html
Wow - that's really fun. Love your mix/track! It's exactly what these cool VHS samples and images should be used for.

Omg not the films incorperated logo 0:38
If you do part eight, make sure the logos have the RIGHT music.

I will give you that. You have a very interesting observation. What was the music you used in the Greek logos, anyway?

Maybe some Jean-Michel Jarre and Synergy (Larry Fast). It's at least a close guess.

7:44. It's as if they stole ORION's own background and cheaply added their 2-bit logo.
Part 3 and Part 4 are missing. I can't find them anywhere.

@@themystagogue4542 Would it be possible to reupload them but swap close logos out with something safe?
Part 8?
Part 3 got deleted
How come the Greek logos have wrong music?
