I have been collecting closing logos and network logos,/station IDs for 16 years and it's loads of fun. Viacom V of Doom, Screen Gems S from Hell, the blasting horns of ITC, the soothing Moog synthesizer of PBS, NBC Peacock In Living Color. My favorites are the pre-1990s local Philadelphia stations logos, especially WPHL 17.
The blessing and the curse of the internet is that it’s now possible to find just about everyone in the world who shares an interest that nobody that you personally know cares one bit about.
@@LNSmithee I've been interested in logos, but not limited to the logos itself, the great thing about really collecting them is that it's meant to be educational, and learn more about how deep company libraries can go, no matter film, TV, streaming, or even games. Amassed about almost 35,000+ captures from decades upon decades of content over the last 8 years, I don't see it slowing down anytime soon.
@teresapflaumer5717 When you dig further down the rabbit hole in terms of libraries, it really is a learning experience, but at the same time fun (that is as long as the contributor and myself get along). I'm no expert but I feel like a bunch of niches rolled up into one, that is the great thing about searching for logos, you never really know what you can find.
I remember the spinning ITC logo always attached to The Muppet show. Also the PBS logo with the weird face on the P is one I must have seen a thousand times in the 70’s.
Wow! These are so short and meaningless, but instantly bring back memories when you see them again. The sound of the Screen Gems one always gave me the creeps as a kid -- but I still loved it.
I love this episode so much! When I buy a set of dvds from an old tv show, I'm always excited when they kept the production brands and logos, and the sponsors spots. Thank you for assembling all of these in one video Fred!
@Rangersly, it depends on who distributes it, some tack on syndication logos, others don't, they always vary, I've gone through several CBS shows alongside one of my contributors for example and some have Viacom, or Paramount, or CBS Television Distribution, maybe even a Worldvision too.
Love it. And especially love that you post no "watermark" or "bug" or fake "timecode" clock (I like to use stuff like this in my "home movies"). Keep the old time TV alive! 👍👍
@@FredFlix LOL. I failed to notice that! I'm cool with having intros and outros! (They help remind me where I got the stuff.) P.S. I use this kind of stuff for personal use, not for re-posting. I have two TH-cam channels and have NEVER posted a video! 😳I use old ads and "bumpers" in family "home" movies. We used to put real radio ads in our personal audio recordings as a kids in the "old days" before videotape. Now it's videos! Yay technology!
From the CBS Special Presentation at the beginning all the way to the end this tugs at my memory. Some of them were a bit before my time (born in 1965) but man that CBS Special Presentation intro used to send kids into a frenzy.
Fred my man this video is so great that I am going to award it with more than all of the stars than all of the Paramount logo variants combined. A Million Star Production
Good as it was - and it was EXCELLENT - the only one that came into my head that may have been missed was Thames television. You'd see it in the states before Benny Hill came on.
Oddly this terrific collection took me back even more than some of your clip shows. Both the ITC and Warner Studios intros really took me back. ITC brought so many shows of my youth that developed cult followings like _Thunderbirds, The Saint, The Champions, Department S, The Prisoner_ and others. The aerial view of the Warner Brother's Studios will be forever associated with _77 Sunset Strip_ in my mind. Thanks again!
I was wondering if you were going to include PBS and NET Logos as well. Agh, no Fred, not the Viacom "V of Doom", the Screen Gems "S from Hell" and, the Paramount "Closet Killer" logos, Lol Back in 2011, there was a channel that had logos like these, plus foreign ones like BND (Russian), called "Sam VS Scariest Logos", he and his friends would edit the logos to make them either more scary, or harmless to our eyes n ears. Lol
1:00 - I remember seeing the NET logo when I was very young, and I think the end credits of MISTEROGERS NEIGHBORHOOD, ended on a similar logo on top of a large building. 1:37 - I think the color stick logo from the end of SG productions was mainly after HAZEL episodes, maybe also some FARMER'S DAUGHTER episodes also. 1:42 - Ah, the "S" from Heck :) 2:57 - Those 2 Paramount endings were heard at the end of THE BRADY BUNCH at different times. 5:15 - I love how you end w/ the NBC Snake, which ended so many NBC programs.
Eva Gabor from Green Acres. Followed by Elly May from the Beverly Hillbillies. Allegedly one exists of Lurch from the Addams Family, but no one kept it.
You Know Fred, I was thisclose to suggesting this idea on one of your future flix…you read my mind…which is pretty easy, because all that I know you could fill a postage stamp…
When I first dove into TH-cam way back in the ‘00s, it cracked me up that people were confessing their fear of the Viacom “V” or the cryptic Screen Gems “S.” 😮😂
All of these logos were created before computer animation. Did they use the same sort of frame at a time process that was used to produce old cartoons?
I love the early Screen Gems with the dancing sticks, but the S from Hell and the creepy PBS and NET. especially the NET, that would have gave me nightmares.
That was pretty good especially with the "ITC" jingle👍...I was hoping to see the old WGN presentation with a portion of Roger Whitaker's "The last farewell" as the jingle. It was on youtube briefly about 8 years ago but haven't seen it since. Wonder if there was a copywrite issue or something [???].
Back when I was addicted to TV (about 10 y/o) I once chanced to see the antique NBC logo just before the local newscast. This would have been in the late 70s, long after it had been replaced. I speculated it was either the result of a time warp, or a message from a nerdy broadcast engineer who just couldn’t let go.
On his CNBC show, Tom Snyder used to have fun promoting his show as the "colorcast" years after color television was the given standard. His joke was based on the early promos in this video where the big networks are promoting their episodes as being "presented in color"
I just would like to say and what probably most other viewers would agree that every time one listens to your magnificent captures of the best times of our generations it truly makes our hearts weep.
Amazing, my friend. "Fred's you are there time machine" strikes again. No memory is too lost or forgotten for Fred not to be able to transport you, heart, body and soul, back to your earliest childhood. We all need this. Thank you, again, for it, Fred.
Oh my! The ITC and Screen Gems I would intentionally wait for at the end of one of their programs, I love them so much. And the NBC peacock! Thankfully I am old enough to have seen it actually used. Filmways......great stuff! Thanks again for another awesome video Fred. EDIT: Maybe in the next one you can add the ABC (Associated British Corporation) from the Avengers? Maybe 🤔
What a great upload-with the ORIGINAL NBC Peacock and the “Funky S” Screen Gems logo-which Sony brought back in 1999 as the logo for the then-new Screen Gems genre film division of Sony Pictures Entertainment-still in use today!!!
@@FredFlix You’re welcome!!! Keep up your wonderful work keeping classic TV alive for today’s generation!!!👍👍PS-Memories for us Boomers as well!!!What a time to be alive!!!😎
I can name that tune at 4:02 in TWO NOTES! It’s “Search” by the late great Dominic Frontiere. I used to beg my mom to let me stay up late enough to listen to the theme. Now half a century later I can hear it whenever I want! Thanks, TH-cam! 🤗 th-cam.com/video/Cv-VHOxgALg/w-d-xo.html
John Williams, Lalo Schifrin, and Edd Kalehoff are still with us, but sadly composers for TV are fading away-figuratively and literally. There are so many things that we grew up with that we took for granted but now see them vanishing. Thanks for carrying the torch, Fred.
I wonder if people of the 19th century felt the same way? While we’ve been introduced to smartphones and AI, they were getting automobiles and electric light.
@@johnaddeo2251 In my opinion, I doubt they did, but for understandable reasons: they didn't have the same communication mechanisms we had in the 20th century to spread ideas about the future. There is zero that's new under the sun now, at least as an idea. AI, smartphones: as ideas, those were jokes at some point in the 20th century. I doubt the average person in the 19th century was joking about the idea of computers.
Like a time machine from my life.
Another MASTERPIECE as only Fred himself can produce!!
Thank you kindly, Nunetc.
That PBS logo must be the longest lasting logo in USA TV history.
FredFlix has again brought us back to our youth. Thank you my friend. God bless 👍🏻✝️
Much appreciated, Ralph.

From Philadelphia there's also the "Move closer to your world" theme from ABC channel 6. The full length version of it is around TH-cam somewhere.

Awesome Fred, the beginning or ending of every favorite show of my childhood! 👍👍
Keep up the good work and have a great weekend my friend! 👍
Much appreciated, Robert.
TV logo a go go gives me goosebumps ❤😅😊
I remember the spinning ITC logo always attached to The Muppet show. Also the PBS logo with the weird face on the P is one I must have seen a thousand times in the 70’s.
Wondered if you were going to 'show the love" for Ziv, a network specializing in first-run syndication.
The whole time watching these my brain was firing in all directions, what a memory jolt! Thank you Fred, where and how do you get this stuff.. 😊😊😊😊
I have a working time tunnel, Doug.
I was hoping to see all the iterations of MTM productions. Bob Newhart, White Shadow, etc
Wow! These are so short and meaningless, but instantly bring back memories when you see them again. The sound of the Screen Gems one always gave me the creeps as a kid -- but I still loved it.

SONY is absolutely terrible about crediting Screen Gems and Columbia Pictures, screw Sony
Wow. That ZIV logo... Boston Blackie, Sea Hunt... and Warner Brothers and its hundred and one western series. Thanks for the time jump. 💜🤟
You're most welcome, Mercedes.
From the CBS Special Presentation at the beginning all the way to the end this tugs at my memory. Some of them were a bit before my time (born in 1965) but man that CBS Special Presentation intro used to send kids into a frenzy.
As a child, it meant you would see a Peanuts show at 8pm. That was a treat.
I can't watch the Mark VII Limited clip without laughing because of the Warner Brothers cartoon spoof of the guy smashing his thumb.
Fred my man this video is so great that I am going to award it with more than all of the stars than all of the Paramount logo variants combined. A Million Star Production
I humbly accept, Raynard.

0:50 1:11 1:42 3:00 favs
Oh the feels some of these give me. ITC and PBS just hit me right in the nostalgias!

I was scared by some logos as a kid myself, Steve.
I remember that. So many explosions. Luckily some YT channels are keeping those videos alive.
"when cousins are two of a kind." Can be only one show.
Some golden oldies in there Fred. Really cool stuff! Thanks for posting this video.
You're welcome, Ernest.
Dis haz been a filmvays presentation dahlin - Eva Gabor from Green Acres.

Yer velcome, Robert.

I love these historical tv logoes

You're a logo lover like me, Jon.
Screen gems. Definitely my favorite. thank you for the memories.
You're welcome, George.
What was this? Where did it come from?
"This has been a Filmways Presentation darling."
Eva Gabor from Green Acres. Followed by Elly May from the Beverly Hillbillies. Allegedly one exists of Lurch from the Addams Family, but no one kept it.
You Know Fred, I was thisclose to suggesting this idea on one of your future flix…you read my mind…which is pretty easy, because all that I know you could fill a postage stamp…
I can't believe that, Dennis. 🙂
When I was a little kid back in the 1960s/1970s I used to be scared of TV logos! Silly, I know.
A lot of kids were.
Not that silly. Not for nothing did they call one of Paramount TV logo's music "serial killer."
When I first dove into TH-cam way back in the ‘00s, it cracked me up that people were confessing their fear of the Viacom “V” or the cryptic Screen Gems “S.” 😮😂
Revue, MCA TV, Universal, Filmways, Screen Gems, Paramount, Viacom...The horror, the horror. 😱
When I was a child, some of these REALLY SCARE ME before I go to bed.
That’s strange. I wonder why?
Really cool Fred. Thanks again buddy.
You're welcome, Gregg.
Awesome Fred! Even as a kid I always found these so fascinating! They are wonderful works of art!✨
And a lost art they are, Tigre7.
Cool idea. I remember most of these from when they were current, and the rest from reruns. 🤓
All of these logos were created before computer animation. Did they use the same sort of frame at a time process that was used to produce old cartoons?
No other way, I reckon.
I always liked the MGM kitty. Especially the one for Hill Street Blues...😌
(WB) This was brought to you by Warner Brothers LSD Studies.....
First of all, LOVE the Screen Gems Dancing Sticks and of course, the Filmways logos. Some Four Stars are needed...
I love the early Screen Gems with the dancing sticks, but the S from Hell and the creepy PBS and NET. especially the NET, that would have gave me nightmares.
I was expecting Bugs and then THERE HE WAS 😂!
I miss those days of TV n those day period!
That was pretty good especially with the "ITC" jingle👍...I was hoping to see the old WGN presentation with a portion of Roger Whitaker's "The last farewell" as the jingle. It was on youtube briefly about 8 years ago but haven't seen it since. Wonder if there was a copywrite issue or something [???].
When I saw the thumbnail for this video, all I could hear was "This has been a Filmway presentation" in Elly Mae Clampett's voice.
Wish you could have found the Filmways logo with Ted Cassidy doing the voiceover in his regular voice.
Back when I was addicted to TV (about 10 y/o) I once chanced to see the antique NBC logo just before the local newscast. This would have been in the late 70s, long after it had been replaced. I speculated it was either the result of a time warp, or a message from a nerdy broadcast engineer who just couldn’t let go.
When I saw the MTM kitten, I thought you would have also included the Bob Newhart variation.

Or the kitty dribbling the basketball for “The White Shadow”.
I can hear it now. The following program is presented in dead black and white on NBC.😅
On his CNBC show, Tom Snyder used to have fun promoting his show as the "colorcast" years after color television was the given standard. His joke was based on the early promos in this video where the big networks are promoting their episodes as being "presented in color"
it's stuff like this that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside... ^,,,,^
Wow, did this bring back memories.
Thank you.
Bringing back a few memories there Fred. The old Revue were my favorites as a little kid for some reason.
Glad you enjoyed it, Bud.
I remember Mister Rogers on NET before PBS started.
My favorite is the PBS, because that one seared in my brain from watching Mr Rogers and Sesame Street as a kid
Every morning after Dragnet. The hammer and whatever the thing was.
What an awesome collection of TV logos! That was too cool, and brought back the memories of years gone by! Thanks Fred Flix!
You're welcome, Michael.
I just would like to say and what probably most other viewers would agree that every time one listens to your magnificent captures of the best times of our generations it truly makes our hearts weep.
That's very encouraging to me, Joseph.
Heh, those "In Living Color" type ads from 60s programming were a hoot for us...because we were watching them on a B&W TV till 1975 :)
You can almost remember what you were watcing when you see these logos
It gets me wistful when I see the suburban ranch house with an aerial in the NET logo.
This rattled loose a lot of good old memories and feelings. Thanks.
I remember all these logo's growing up!
Most of these were also common in Australia.
Fred!
The Wolper Organization !!
They can play this forever.
