- If you are a fan of films, then you must have seen some logos that have left you wondering, ‘What’s the story behind that?’ Let me refresh your memory: the boy on the moon in the DreamWorks logo, the mountain in the Paramount logo and the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer lion. You’re wondering comes to an end today. At Top 5’s finest, we delve into these 5 Stories Behind Famous Hollywood Studio Logos! Ready? Well, lets begin!
1. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer: Leo The Lion
Leo the lion on MGM has come a long way to be who we know him today. He was designed in 1924 for Samuel Goldwyn’s Picture Corporation in 1924. When Goldwyn merged with Metro Pictures Corporation and Louis B. Mayer pictures, the newly formed MGM retained the logo. The first Lion, Slats, graced the opening of MGM’s silent films in 1924 to 1958. Jackie was the next MGM lion and his growl-roar-growl sequence as played over the phonograph could be heard by the audience. He was also the first lion to appear in Technicolor in 1932. Tanner was the next lion, and was probably the most famous lion of MGM. And that... is all she wrote.
2. DreamWorks: Boy on the Moon
Let’s start with what that SKG at the bottom of the DreamWorks logo means. In 1994, Steven Spielberg, Disney Studio chairman, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and record producer, David Geffen, got together to find a new studio called DreamWorks. There was a lot of push and pull between the three before the logo currently used was settled on. Spielberg wanted the logo for DreamWorks to be reminiscent of Hollywood’s golden age. The logo was to be a computer-generated image of a man in the moon fishing. Dennis Muren, the Visual Effects Supervisor of Industrial Light and Magic who had worked with Spielberg on many of his films suggested a hand-painted logo. Robert Hunt, which is Muren’s friend would paint the logo. Hunt then sent an alternative version of the logo that showed a boy on a crescent moon fishing. And that is now the logo that you see in all Dreamworks films.
3. 20th Century Fox: The Searchlight Logo
The 20th Century Fox Film Corporation came about in 1935 when Twentieth Century Pictures and Fox Film company merged. Landscape artist, Emil Kosa Jr., is credited with creating the original twentieth century pictures. If you are wondering who Kosa was, he was famous for his matte painting for the statue of Liberty that is showed at the end of the 1968 movie, Planet of the Ape and many other films. After the merger, Kosa replaced ‘Pictures Inc.’ with Fox to make the current logo. Neat huh?
4. Paramount: The Majestic Mountain
The Paramount Majestic Mountains logo was first drawn as a doodle by W.W. Hodkinson during a meeting with Adolph Zukor, who was one of the founders of Famous Players FAILM Company that eventually became paramount. It was based on the Ben Lomond Mountain from his childhood in Utah. The first logo was used in 1914 and it is now the oldest surviving logo in Hollywood. The original logo has 24 stars which symbolized paramount’s then 25 contracted movies stars. It’s now 22 stars. It beats me why those stars were reduced though.... Im guessing that it’s a tough business out there.
5. Warner Bros.: The WB Shield
Warner Bros. has had quite some history. And yes, it is legally Bros. not brothers. It went through 11 logos for it to settle on the one currently in use. The company was started by four Jewish brothers who emigrated from Poland: Harry, Albert, Sam and Jack Warner. At the start, Warner Bros. had trouble attracting top talent. In 1925, after Sam’s urging, Warner Bros. made the first feature-length “talking pictures”. Harry famously said, “Who the hell wants to hear actors talk?” and that got the ball rolling for the studio to make Warner Bro’s famous.

If you were going to use the picture of the lion strapped, you could've at least explained that that was not the MGM lion, but a lion at a vet's office and that the MGM logo setup was photoshopped.
Thank you. Actually been searching to see if that was real or not. You saved me a lot of time.
I didn't think it was real but you never know with Hollywood
He wants to get more watch time and want kids click on the video
@@bluemike1215 and yet you clicked on the video.

Me too bro
Ma N OJ well there is the arabic cn that still shows them lol
Miki Miki yea I remember that show
Is it?
Deep_ Ocean How About Tom And Jerry Show?
thumbnail image is fake
Did you watch the whole video?
Im pointing out that the thumbnail image (which is also used in the video at 3:50) is fake and at no point in the video is the image mentioned directly, if you read the comments a few people have been mislead into believing that MGM actualy did this to a lion, www.snopes.com/leo-the-lion-mgm-logo/ i encourage you to do your own research aswell
Yeah I was about to say that.. That picture is fake... It's actually a lion getting a CT or CAT scan.... Just people like to just try to make things hard for companies or fool people
silencer308 Thank you! I was hoping to find such a statement scrolling through, I clicked your link and once again my heart is happy. Thank you!
yes it was photoshopped by skankhunt42
There are lions more famous than me, that's great.
SuperSullyYT Sully Lol, the sad truth...
SuperSullyYT Sully
Lions are endangered so..
Of all ways you should know top5s, just stole my video ...
Mr. Tops I've been saying that omg y did he steal it
UnGayUnTrash sad truth ;-;
That's neat, I had always figureded that it was the same lion for MGM since the Wizard of Oz days. I didn't know they actually change it every now and again
3:51 For anyone wondering the picture on the left is indeed fake.
I'm Warner Bros. fan because I love the gold and blue!😄 There's Looney Tunes, DC, LEGO, Scooby-Doo, The Flintstones, Harry Potter and Tom & Jerry.
The original Paramount pictures logo was depicted as a doodle on a piece of paper was fascinating. There are other mountains that claimed to fame that were live action versions. Peru's Artesonraju is the live action mountain version we see from 1986-2011.
1:33 The guy says, “the logo had 24 stars to symbolize their 25 employees at the time” and I’m just going to believe that made sense.
This is great - lots of info for trivia night! Thank you!
5 out of 5 !! That was so interesting :) Thanks for posting !
If you are going to steal my video, even the miniature, at least give me credit in the description, right? Haha this is amazing...
rip them
Mr. Tops आज हम आपको पांच ऐसे वायरल फोटोज बनाएंगे जिन्होंने पूरी दुनिया में तहलका मचा दिया या कहें कि सब को मूर्ख बना दिया| इस फोटो के बारे में यह कहा गया था कि इस तरीके से MGM का लोगो बनाया गया था परंतु वास्तविकता यह है कि एक शेर को उपचार के लिए हॉस्पिटल के अंदर लाया गया था| परंतु लोगों ने उस मशीन को एमजीएम के लोगों का रूप दे दिया और इंटरनेट पर वायरल कर दिया |
rip
Mr. Tops Tú Español
ALL OF YOUR VIDS ARE OTHER LANGUAGES BISH
Fun Fact: Did you know that the lion roar there is actually a tiger roar, they said that the lions roar is not as majestic or ferocious so they used a tiger roar in background and put the lion on screen to make it seem like a lion roar.
As far as I remember I had read that Spielberg logo idea for Dreamworks logo was originally from Michael Jackson NeverLand Valley ranch logo.

That picture of the holden up and being "abused" is actually fake.
now i understand,tnx for mking this vids,this is so helpful😆
I gotta say that your video now has me with more questions than I originally had...
I heard Spielberg created Dreamworks logo after visiting Michael Jackson's Neverland and saw Neverland's official logo. They are really similar.
Now i understand thx for posting this video

Anthony Coleman The thumbnail could be true because people back then thought animals didn't have feelings. So, they might of tied Lion to the table, so, he can roar.
ItzMe It's fake. This channel is a clickbait shithole
ItzMe does that photo look like it was taken in 1933?
Jude Streby ugh thanks. This world sucks sometimes. Truth sucks. History sucks.

interesting part is that much of the logo we see today of mgm was designed in the early 1980s.
nice video
The lion was really just getting a cat scan and the thing around the lion was photo shopped onto the can scan's scanner
so that's how that lion logo was created that actually pretty awesome
Anyway top 5s just stole my video, shame ...

did you notice the IV drip bag in the foreground?
ROCIO FLORES It's not real

yes it is on a ct scan table, just someone trying to be funny with photo shop possibly the radiologist seen it in the tunnel from the other side and thought that looks like the MGM logo
did you notice the IV drip bag in the foreground?
I love the Disney intro because im a fan of Disney
What about Jerry Bruckheimer? It has a nice and eye-catching Studio Logo as well.
Paramount did not create the first feature length movie it was done in Australia in 1896 and was titled The Kelly Gang.
Jus' Sayin'.
24 stars to represent 25 actors?
MGM had a lot of Tom and jerry intros
Now everybody knows the secret of logo
Nice😎
Me likes the metro-goldwyn-mayer logo if Leo the Lion
Slats was born in Dublin and was originally named Carbre
2:18 Ahem, 20th Century Fox is now 20th Century Studios.
im a fan metro goldwyn mayer cause leo is awesome
Some of you people saying about the MGM strapped lion that “it’s real,” well guess what?
_(It’s fake, and that lion is NOT Leo the lion, how?… it’s a lion who named “Samson” which, the thing is. he felt ill at an Israel zoo, way back in 2005 (“two-thousand five”), and that there is _*_photoshopped_*_ honestly… and this image with an MGM overlay is made in 2015 (twenty-fifteen, or two-thousand fifteen, whatever it is spelled.))_
Good video, but you left something out. The last photo of the lion is false. Its photoshopped. The lion is going for a MRI. People use that photo for animal rights arguments, even though, again, its false.
😍mgm logo
"Who the hell wants to hear actors talk!?" - The guy that created one of the biggest corporations on this earth.... Remember that everything around you was created by people no smarter than you.
1 metro goldwyn mayer moja omiljena reklama za filmove i lav koji glumi Leo
All I’m going to say is narnia warned us.
Mast hai yr.
on the lion (thumbnail) it wasn't him..look at the neck. one picture has hair around the neck. the other one doesn't.
Also it's photoshopped
yes it is on a ct scan table, just someone trying to be funny with photo shop possibly the radiologist seen it in the tunnel from the other side and thought that looks like the MGM logo
did you notice the IV drip bag in the foreground?
I feel bad for *LION* *TIDEE*
It's fake
Poor lion
3:53 that guy looks more like he's being tested or something.
He's goin in for surgery most likely. That picture is clearly photoshopped
Currently, Disney owns and drops Fox name and replaced as 20th Century Studios.
You: And that.... is all she wrote
Me: Wait, who wrote?? What's her name?
Do you know that mgm lion had added to tom and jerry and pink panther ?
What about the pegasus horse from tristar or universal studios globe that one's my favorite
3:56 the lion was actually not getting pinned down for movies, he was actually getting surgery.
《 Handu Fox 》 Whatever makes you happy. Most people lie to themselves because they can't handle the truth. You seem like the type of person who needs fairy tales and manipulation. Good luck with that B.S.
Ms. Allen
( cough wrong)
i hold you the 20th ceuntry fox in 1933 yes
It's 20th Century Studios.
Thumbnail is very funny.....
That's not how they did it they used a green screen that was just an injured line in a MRI scanner but the scanner was edited to look like the studio logo😕
Green screen in the 1920s? Yeah right
Lion in thumbnail
Poor lion
Karen Golar it’s getting an mri scan it was never filmed for a logo
The lion just ruined my childhood🥺💔
