I hope you all enjoyed this out-of-nowhere video. I had it cooking on the back-burner for a while, a little over a year now, so I thought it'd be fun to work on it. There are some things I could've done better on, and I will agree with that, so if I ever come back to this topic, I can and will do better for those parts. With that all said, thanks for being so patient on it, I spent so much time on it, and I'm really happy with the results.
I used to go to a special ed school and almost everyone from the lower and even higher functioning classes for autism were obsessed with these. i feel like it has something to do with autism, alot of people with autism love thing from their childhood and will try to relive it (like me with things like idogs)
I'm autistic myself, though I wasn't too fond of logos. I was obsessed with monochrome things for some reason. My three favorite animals were zebras, penguins, and ostriches.
Oh and dinosaurs (and a lot of extinct animals) as well. I kept a few toys as a kid. (I specifically remember an Archaeopteryx, a Brachiosaurus, and an Edaphosaurus), and that obsession just stuck. Even today I watch dinosaur related media, it's good the Jurassic Park series exists, given I don't know many other dinosaur films not considered "kiddie," like The Land Before Time.
Although I don't really 'get' the logo community, I'm glad they exist. I'm a media student, and interested in film and TV archivism, and you'd be surprised how often interstitial material like this goes overlooked. I'm glad there's people out there that care.
Reason #4: Autism. Not being ableist, that really is a major reason for why there's an actual community surrounding logos of all things... This is coming from someone who has High Functioning Autism...
And a fan of everything nostalgia and pop culture alongside with these logos. I also did my special “MTN Gang” Halloween show where one of the characters meets the scary logos. During one of the scenes, one of the characters got caught by the logos and showed them in random. It was a horror survival episode like “Resident Evil” did.
Speaking as someone who does keep track of the VHS community, it's a very similar story with the VHS opening and closing community. It's bizarre as to how obsessed some people are with doing those. That's why I've kinda distanced myself from that community and went off and did my own thing with the openings, mainly doing them at 60fps. It's very apparent especially with Disney, Nick Jr. and PBS tapes that there's a lot of autistic people that watch those tape openings.
As somebody who is interested in making documentaries about logo evolutions, I can tell you that logo histories are quite fascinating. The reasons for why certain logos are animated the way they are, as well as the visuals, what the logo represents, the rationale behind the logo presentation, and the music score, are incredibly fascinating details in the wider landscape of graphic arts. The scary logo stuff I bought into a decade ago, but over time I figured it was somewhat hogwash. The only reason why I initially jumped on that train was due to the 1993 PBS Kids logo, which was loud, had crude animation, and left as quickly as it arrived on the television screen. However, its jarring nature was enhanced as I sometimes caught it in the dark. If it weren’t for that logo, though, I would not have embarked on this logo journey nor discover other aspects about movie and television logos that I believe a lot of people gloss over and take for granted. They are inextricably linked to the media we consume, so they should be given their due credence. Thanks for this video. It was an interesting glimpse into the strange logo community on RUclips.
I know you may not reply back but Are You takking about the logo with the 3 p heads and the female voice singing the name of the company and the “hoo hoo” at the end??
I use to be scared of an MTV logo from 1982 which featured a Motel. Just the ominous music with the camera slowly zooming in on the letter m with some white searchlights passing by and it saying “no phone no pool no escape music television”.
As someone who has gotten more involved in this logo community, i dont really know that much either. Im only interested in the stuff because the logos are aesthetically pleasing, and of course, nostalgic
there's actually a bit more symbolism behind the mtm logo at the end of st. elsewhere. it's not just because it's about doctors, it's also signifying that the show is ending, aka dying. and...a lot of people die in hospitals...so... yeah.
very interesting video. never got the whole "scary logo" thing. I'm not a part of the "logo community", just a side person who does some business in it. I don't even understand people's unhealthy obsessions with TV logos and look at me. lol. the community has some controversy so to speak. thanks once again
I'm surprised you didn't at all bring up autism and it's traits. I'm convinced that is the core reason behind this whole thing. I have my brother's past as evidence. PS, MtM thing was completely depressing though.
I kind of wish more mental health related channels on RUclips would look into these communities where a majority of them seem to have Autism. I feel like that would make for interesting and informative content.
Gracie Films used to scare the shit out of me. I would always stay up watching the Simpsons and when she would “sshhh” the audience it would always catch me off guard.
I remember watching videos from a similar community, where they make short stories with the logos, what they use most is PBS and Viacom. I remember how I got obsessed with these videos
Y’know, mood synthesizers were completely new back when Screen Gems introduced their “Red S” logo. That’s why people were afraid of it back then, it’s a sound they haven’t heard before.
I wasn’t even alive back then. But I can see how it’s scary. Like the AI videos, it’s something we’ve never seen before. Something not even Fucking Computers can accomplish.
It's pretty interesting because logos/production studios have a bigger impact on childhood memories than some people might think. I can still clearly remember most of them, even better than some childhood shows I watched. I think the people who are obsessed with logos are likely reliving some of their childhood nostalgia.
When I was younger and watched a lot of Disney DVD’s, the Disney Fast Play logo and the regular Disney logo screens always scared the living crap out of me (I think for me it’s because of just how it looked and the music). I’m not scared of it that much anymore but sometimes when I’m in bed at night and it’s really REALLY dark, the Disney Fastplay logo screen (music, narration and all) plays in my head and I get chills
Not scary, the MTM logo was the cutest logo you’ve ever seen, and Mimsie was a cute cat if you’ve seen “Mary Tyler Moore”, “Bob Newhart Show”, “WKRP in Cincinnati”, “Hill Street Blues”, “Black Shadow”, “St. Elsewhere” and a few others. The company was founded by actress Mary Tyler Moore in about 1970.
@@Musicradio77Network I meant what was shown on the original showing of the finale of St. Elsewhere, as shown in the video. Fun fact on Mimsie, Mimsie was an employee's pet, and not Mary Tyler Moore's.
Even worse, that voice is called "Boing" and I tried it on Scratch and it was really bad. So if it isn't just bad coding, they had to go and EDIT this shit to make it sound less scary.
I don't get why people are calling the community "cringy" or whatever. It's just a niche interest that I find myself partaking in here and there. The reason why I do it is bc there were some logos that scared me when I was a little kid and wanted to see if there were other people who felt that way, as well learn more about the history of said logos (and also bc some logos are really cool looking). I can understand why people may be confused or put off by the logo community, but y'all have to understand that you're not the target audience of their content. Just extend a little bit of empathy, that's all.
I used to always stick around till the end of Spongebob's credits to see united plankton pictures on the screen, i loved it, i adored how it was named after a character in the show, i dodn't even know a planton was an actual animal.
As a semi-member of the logo community (bet you can't tell lol), I strongly agree with all of the points made in this video and highly respect your perspective on this topic. I honestly think that the logo community is full of little kids and there's only like a few of us that are actually mature. I've seen some of the comments here as well and I agree with all the criticisms of the logo community that they have presented; they're basically the same complaints I have had about the community (which is why I've partially lost interest in this community). Point is, loved your video, I agree with it all, and thank you for delivering your perspective.
Being a logo enthusiast myself, I used to love logos all in general. Now, I'm only very interested in motion graphics. Nostalgia wasn't really a reason for me to be obsessed with them.
I'm pretty sure that at least small percentage of the people currently in the logo/logo edit community will get a job in either graphic design or special effects in the future because they practiced with logo edits.
I had a very interesting history with Splaat. I was so scared of him that I refused to download the Krusty Krab Training Video episode because I heard that Nick accidentally aired the Splaat logo instead of the United Plankton Pictures logo during the credits. After watching RoboSplaat and seeing more about Splaat’s personality and backstory, I’m no longer scared of him. It’s quite nice to see that Klasky Csupo is treating Splaat more than a logo, but a character. Drifting away from Klasky Soup (a little nickname I gave to Klasky Csupo), as a channel that has a Pixar logo edit with 4K views compared to other videos in my channel, I agree that people are SOOOOOO crazy over logos.
I've worked with Kids on the Autism Spectrum, (I also have Aspergers.) and a majority of them would make playlists of logos, and also script things related to logos. One kid I know would say "It's WB not CW!" with no context in response to getting in trouble. It's Interesting.
I'm an Aspie as well. Except instead of logos, dinosaurs (and pretty much all reptiles) were something I couldn't get enough of. Heck, I'm still obsessed with dinosaurs. I wonder if that has something to do with my Autism. Autism is actually really cool to have too, and a lot of people don't realize that.
And I distinctly remember being fond of a little toy Archaeopteryx, the evolutionary link between birds and non avian dinosaurs. I also liked the guy in general. I have a game called Scribblenauts and Archaeopteryx (and the very similar Microraptor) was quite a common object I spawned.
PickleBetard A.K.A Pickle Rick's Fatass Cousin Actually, you really don’t want to have autism. I’m autistic myself and I experience sensory issues, poor immunity system, stammer problems, clumsiness, depression, irritability, and anxiety. People with autism can also experience seizures, obesity, early growth spurt, have a high pitched nasally voice, not able to speak, and wearing diapers day and night which luckily I don’t have.
The Mimsie logo gave me actual chills, I also find the Klasky Csupo logo and the DNA logo to be scary but really nostalgic, although I really don't understand the fascination with editing them tbh.
As a bystander of the logo/CLG community myself, even I can say that it can be rather annoying. (Lord knows how many T.A.T Communications mock-ups are out there) I think it's just fascinating, and logo design is something I crave. Some logos are legit creepy, or downright nightmare material, (such as the Oz Film Company logo, look up at your own risk.) while others are simply just eerie to watch, due to video artifacting, music, or the time of day. (such as the Screen Gems S or the Viacom V of Doom. I personally don't find those two scary) In the end, it's not really worthwhile, but it's just fascinating.
I used to be scared of the THX logo, but now I'm not. There are only a few logos I'm truly scared of (including a few zoom-in ones, such as the Ear Booker Productions logo, which the inclusion of screaming and flashing lights didn't help)
As someone on the autism spectrum and a former logo fanatic, I think that the obsession of logos has to do with a hyperfocus or hyperfixation on a certain thing. Logos tend to be that certain thing since many of them are colorful. Then again, that might be just me.
You took the words right out of my mouth. I’m autistic and I was SUPER obsessed with logos when I was in middle school. As unnerved as I was with certain logos, I was also fostered a curiosity and infatuation with synthesizer music (since most of the logos listed on the wiki and on multiple YT compilations are from the 80s).
Actually there is 2 parts of the logo community. You got the cringy one with all the stupid logo edits, but you also have the good one where it’s people talking about the logos themselves either is their history, logo finds (sometimes could be rare) and facts about the logos. You should check out TR3X Productions and CCG88 they are the masters of logos from the uk. They make really good content about logos that isn't edits.
as many other people have said it's definitely a link between autistic tendencies to obsess over something minor and probably just watching a lot of TV or something personally i'm kind of interested as an outsider because it gives me a sort of cursory glimpse into the aesthetics of different eras.
The Screen Gems logo actually comforts me. However, there is one logo that still terrifies me to this day and even gives me nightmares from time to time. Though it really isn't a production logo, it's known as a "Flashbang logo". Flashbang logos were those "Comming Soon" or "Feature Presentaion" logos that appeared during the previews on some old Disney and mainly Dimension VHS tapes between 1998 and 2003. It starts out with a simple black screen, then a loud "woosh" as the text flies on to the screen, followed by a bright flash and loud noise (don't know the instrument, but it's a G minor note) with the background fading to blue and a creepy ominous voice saying you "Coming soon to home video" or "And now our feature presentation". I think witnissing that alone as a small child scarred me for life, so yeah.
3:38 *_K L A S K Y C S U P O A R E Y O U T H E R E_* In all seriousness I think it's quite absurd to be obsessed with logos and edit them, but I respect the logo obsessed people
As a logo fanatic, this video is just amazing. I think you're the first person who talks in depth about the logo community and its flaws. Great job! 👍👍👍
Jennifer Rose I think SCMediaWorks is the only other RUclipsr I know who talked about both the good and bad sides of the community. Like those RUclipsrs who make fake versions of extremely rare logos, and try to pass them off as the real ones.
As someone who used to make these sort of logo edits, I found this video incredibly interesting. I think one thing you touched upon was spot on, that it lets people be creative. I understand how calling a simple logo with Windows Movie Maker effects slapped on it “creative” seems weird, it’s a great starting point for people who want to edit things, make something creative, and just do whatever. Logos are recognizable, so tinkering around with them, putting a bit of yourself in it is great practice, and can subconsciously teach you what makes a great logo. I still occasionally gets comments on my old 20th Century Jake logo videos, which while I don’t fully understand why at times, I just feel happy knowing that they’ll move on to more creative endeavors. Just compare my current logo with my old 20th Century logos, and you can see how I got tired of the formula and experimented until I eventually made something I’m actually proud of. I went from downloading a blender file and changing one word, to getting my own footage, color grading it, compositing different elements and making something a little more distinct. From getting the footage to render time, my current logo took 2 and a half hours to make. I’m happy how much I’ve moved on.
I use to be part of these "Logo edits" in 2013/2014 boy i'm glad I'm not into editing logos anymore I'm pretty sure these are random kids (well some) who are editing these videos as so much I know. At this point I think logo editing is just dead now ..or at least for me I find it dead... yeah
Thank you for this video! My first exposure was through alterations of the GameCube startup screen, and i had no idea why there are many altered versions on YT. Also the reasons explained on the video may also explain why people have an obsession with Operating Systems.
Funny how these guys have an obsession with operating systems, and they are always making videos of fake operating systems, but they never actually figure out that you rarely ever see the actual operating system and most of what you see is the desktop environment/window manager, so when they're talking about "dragon tales OS" they mean Ubuntu Linux with a bad color scheme and a low-quality desktop picture.
I personally enjoy logos because I find them and their histories fascinating. But yeah, I certainly find logos and the community to be a bit weird at times. But I think that’s what makes them unique.
Finally! After literal YEARS of asking the same question myself, someone finally covers on this topic! I can't believe how un-talked about this topic is. Like really, it's baffling. Thank you my good sir, you are doing the work of a god!
More along the lines of "JohnnyTestFan2005DragonTalesSucks studios/productions" (Usually, the ones who put "Productions" at the end of their username are more cringe-inducing) or something else like that Imagine when these guys get into politics and they have a username like "OcasioCortezSupporter2005OrangeManBad productions" and they're still rockin' the Amazing World of Gumball/poorly-drawn fursona/gacha life profile pic.
this is so nostalgic, i used to love logos but it was more like video game console startups or computer logos like the windows logo and even those sparta remixes that used to be everywhere around youtube. and i am glad you talked about it because its such a large community but nobody actually notices it.
I'm kind of surprised you didn't talk about the rare logos like T.A.T Communications Company or P.I.T.S because another reason why they're interesting is because some are rare and hard to find and some are straight up lost (such as the 1995 DTS logo).
I think you nailed it. I’m very nostalgic for, among other things, the Paramount VHS logos that I'd see at the beginning of a bunch of Nick tapes. I think it’s that they’re a part of film and television history. When I see an old logo, I’m reminded that the movie or show I’m watching is from a different time, though I also find it fascinating when studios plaster them, whether it be MGM covering for United Artists, Sony TV hiding the Torch Lady and Pegasus, or Saban appearing in a galaxy instead of a sky.
3:36 OMG! You’ve included one of DEVINURDOG’S deleted Pokémon episodes!! I used to watch them when I was 5!! Thx so much for taking me back to my nostalgia!
Oh my god finally someone is acknowledging this side of Youtuhe jesus christ I try to mention this stuff to people like "There are literally these kids who just obsess over Klasky Csupo and Viacom Bumpers" and like nobody is talking about it
MOST of them are kids. Some people are more mature and more creative with their logo edits. Take my channel. I make logo edit videos, but I have made other types of videos, logo related or not. I can also take criticism, dont care if there are dislikes on my video, and I don't understand why most logo editors are obsessed with BFDI and object show. Also, autism does play a part in this obsession, but, like me, some people dont have autism but are still obsessed with logos. Also, what I didn't mention was that I don't even watch logo content that much anymore, I just make videos on them. I still occasionally watch videos about logos, but I watch more other things.
As a long-time member of the logo community, I’m glad you covered this. While I can’t personally explain what draws me to them, I still find it fun to take to youtube and just binge logos. One of the only logo-edit channels I watch is Kyoobur9000, he’s basically a titan in the logo-edit community who’s actually made a bit of an empire for himself as many people have joined his network known as the Kyoobur Network, which I’m actually the co-owner of!
When I was little I always used to watch Dragon Tales and other Columbia Tristar videos for the logo at the end. I would even get them from the library and desperately try to hide the fact from my mom that I just wanted it to watch the logos. I remember whenever I got dropped off at my grandmas house after summer school (because my mom was still at work), I would turn on channel 11 (PBS Kids, WMHT) and see the last parts of Clifford The Big Red Dog at 12 PM and then I would sit there and watch Dragon Tales from 12:30 to 1:00. At the end I would get very close to the TV and see the Columbia Tristar Television logo pop up on the screen. I also recall seeing Columbia Tristar Television Distribution at the end of it, which explains why I would always watch closely for that logo. Even when PBS Kids introduced the part where the credits zoomed to the top right side of the corner into the big TV they had in that room (where the host would always go on and talk about crap), I would put my face towards the top right corner and watch as the credits go by. Although when they added those zoomed out credits I would always hope for a glitch in the system for it to not do it and just do the credits the way it used to be.
As someone who used to be in the logo community, I personally find Klasky Csupo more scary than the S from Hell. But the cat death part would be scary and anxiety-material as a kid.
The entire scary logo community is cringe, ranging from cringey edits to animation videos to comments and even pictures on DeviantArt! The Scary Logos Wiki is no longer that bad, but that doesn’t mean the comments are. Such logos also use BFDI elements. While I’m not a fan of BFDI myself, I do think about and cringe upon lookin at a character, since it reminds me of the logo community. That’s a bummer, because the series itself isn’t bad. There is truly no point in the logo videos, art, or the fan base itself. It’s a utterly cringey waste of time.
Today I found something strange regarding logos on Roblox: a logo roleplay game. I was like “WTF!? How do you even roleplay with LOGOS?” I joined in and they started crowding me cause I was a proto lol.
I've been a member of the logo community for years. Although it isn't the best community, I'm glad I was able to be part of it. I love watching logo histories, finding logos myself, and recreating them with Blender. Watched these logos actually helped me alot in graphic design, which is where I am today. This one's a really dang good video in my book. You covered it very well. ;) -mayochan!
Interesting video. For me, the reason why I’am a logo fan is because I like learning about the history of different logos, and the many variations they may have had over the years, especially the rare nearly extinct ones. Some of it I will agree is tied to nostalgia as well, seeing a logo from an old show I watched as a kid, and haven’t seen in years can be like stepping into a time machine sometimes, even the ones that used to scare me. Yes... I was one of those kids that used to be afraid of certain logos, not anymore though, I grew out of that as I got older. In fact, trying to remember what logos used to scare me and looking them up online is what initially got me into researching logos. I’m not as obsessed with them as I used to be, but I’ll still look them up from time to time, mostly the rare hard to find ones like I mentioned earlier. Never understood the appeal of those effect videos however. Some of them were interesting, but most of them I never cared for.
Same question but Windows. Seriously. Just cause we like computers doesn't mean we have to make "nEvEr ReLeAsEd" rubbish. My part of the fandom is civilised.
I'm autistic and might have been one of the first RUclips dependent "logo kids" back in the late 2000's/early 2010's. To this very day the V of Doom, S from Hell, DiC Kid in Bed, BND mask, Walt Disney Classics, Klasky Csupo, PBS, and all those other logos (especially VHS logos) remind me of the peak of my logophilia, in my 1st-4th grade years. Strangely enough I've never found any logo scary. And let's not forget, the Looney Tunes Intro Bloopers which involved the WB shield, and the V of Doom and S from Hell and BND mask etc Even though I am currently reliving interests from my early teens, it seems that I will always have a place in my heart for logos.
Ask Me Questions! I'm planning to make a video about this, and I'm in the logo community. I did help Daniel get some older videos for this video, and I'm planning to make a follow up addressing other things that about the logo community that I personally want to address. As a past logo editor myself, I know some trends and such. I'm still uploading logo stuff, with the exception being that it is just the logo (for archival purposes).
The MtM logo really startled me, but it was also pretty clever at the same time. I'm also still somewhat spooked by the Klasky Csupo logo as it sometimes appears in my nightmares.
As a little kid, i used to be scared to death of the old nick bumpers and the paramount logo, and every time one would pop up i (apparently) kept shouting "panama huntin" and i vividly remember running to the corner or upstairs to hide
when i first found out that the viacom V and screen gems eye logos from the 60s-70s, i dont get how "scary" they are to people. for me, i consider them abstract/retro art. now i get why people fear the klasky csupo logo, the MTM death logo, and some of the indian film logos from the 30s-90s, especially dwarakish chitra.
I have a general obsession with certain logos but not on TV, which isn't a bad thing on itself. I think it has something to do with symbolism, and what the meaning behind the logo is. I don't think it's special either, it's just that symbolism is like one of the main things that helps makes a meaning iconic and sometimes it can be fascinating depending on the meaning to me. For example the Super Mario 64 logo is like a legendary logo to me because of how great the game is and how it likely helped create a lot of average 3D games. I'm not into the logo just because it's an interesting logo itself, I'm interested into it because it's a symbol of something very great. XD
I feel like it would be a disservice not to mention autism and the logo community. As an autistic person myself who used to be a part of this community, and saw others who fit my same mold, it think it would be likely that a large portion of the logo community would be autistic because of niche, specific interests that would be unheard of to neurotypicals.
Oh. My. God. I used to be so obsessed with these as a kid. I always liked that feeling of uncannyness while watching “scary” logos. It was so fun just reading the forums on the CLG wiki about these things. Even looking at those “scary logo effect” videos.
I remember finding the classic wacky Nickelodeon Movies logos from the late 90s to the early 2000s charming to see as a kid while watching Rugrats the Movie + the sequel, Hey Arnold the Movie, The Wild Thornberrys Movie, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius etc. However the dog, the house that got destroyed by the logo, the atmospheric music before the moon (aka the logo) sneezed, actually felt kinda freaky (at least the house didn't freak me out a friccin' lot as much as the trailer for Cat in the Hat movie, when they showed the upper level start falling down to wacky music, and then ending with the cat walking away from the camera like nothing happened and then the logo showed up. Everything was in English too so I still had no idea what was going on. I couldn't even start watching Sinbad without feeling that our part of the house will fall down.). But hey, at least it was close enough to hear the Nickelodeon theme. Idk why, but when I used to watch Nickelodeon a lot as a kid (we didn't have Cartoon Network until around after 2010), and I never knew that Nickelodeon had a main theme since I don't think they played it here in Sweden. It wasnt until I watched the Nostalgia Critic's Nickelodeon Month video like... three, four years ago or something that I heard the theme. And I also never realised that the different styles of the Nickelodeon Movies theme was the same as the Nickelodeon theme, just more different to fit the intros.
I have asperger's and I think tv logos are cool,just not cool enough to get absolutely obsessed with,but I can see why,and they are oddly fascinating. I'm just not obsessed, I do like the history though. Sometimes I go down that rabbit hole sometimes,you do you. Whether it's furries,logos,or world war two, do what you love.
As an autistic, I think it's an autism thing. I was never obsessed with logos myself, but I did like playing a game called Logo Quiz when I was younger where I had to guess the logo.
I hope you all enjoyed this out-of-nowhere video. I had it cooking on the back-burner for a while, a little over a year now, so I thought it'd be fun to work on it. There are some things I could've done better on, and I will agree with that, so if I ever come back to this topic, I can and will do better for those parts. With that all said, thanks for being so patient on it, I spent so much time on it, and I'm really happy with the results.
@cjlondonio 08 correct
Daniel T. Gaming dude you should make more your so good

Mew Lopes
I agree
Mew Lopes That’s why I still like looking up logos. It’s always interesting to find something that was once thought to be lost.
The goanimate community has a lot of overlap with this
G-guy oh god don’t remind me of the goanimate community
An old friend of mine loves both object shows and Sparta remixes and he has autism ofc so I guess that says something

@@aliteralloser.301 You forgot the "Making reaction videos with cringy preeschool shows" community

My freind kiera is thr same but its cartoon songs
ok so if i'm obessed with the 1991 universal logos. it's because i have autisim? okay
I'm autistic myself, though I wasn't too fond of logos. I was obsessed with monochrome things for some reason. My three favorite animals were zebras, penguins, and ostriches.
Oh and dinosaurs (and a lot of extinct animals) as well. I kept a few toys as a kid. (I specifically remember an Archaeopteryx, a Brachiosaurus, and an Edaphosaurus), and that obsession just stuck. Even today I watch dinosaur related media, it's good the Jurassic Park series exists, given I don't know many other dinosaur films not considered "kiddie," like The Land Before Time.
@@grkb it's not completely impossible that having an uneeded and weird obsession with something as miniscule as logos then yeah you probably do.

Reason #4: Autism.
Not being ableist, that really is a major reason for why there's an actual community surrounding logos of all things... This is coming from someone who has High Functioning Autism...
My friend has an obsession with coin operated rides... and I have an obsession with kids TV presenters... we're both autistic.
And a fan of everything nostalgia and pop culture alongside with these logos. I also did my special “MTN Gang” Halloween show where one of the characters meets the scary logos. During one of the scenes, one of the characters got caught by the logos and showed them in random. It was a horror survival episode like “Resident Evil” did.
I have aspergers witch is like autism
Speaking as someone who does keep track of the VHS community, it's a very similar story with the VHS opening and closing community. It's bizarre as to how obsessed some people are with doing those.
That's why I've kinda distanced myself from that community and went off and did my own thing with the openings, mainly doing them at 60fps. It's very apparent especially with Disney, Nick Jr. and PBS tapes that there's a lot of autistic people that watch those tape openings.
So all my friends have autism
No wonder(not trying to be disrespectful to people with autism but still)
I’m a logo enthusiast myself, logos are a staple of my early childhood and early teen life.
I appreciate you giving your perspective on this topic.
Surprised how mature you took this topic
I’m also a logo enthusiast too
P.S I used to like watching logo edits but now I lost interest of it (but i still like logos but not logo edits)
My favorite logo is Jurassic Park
Literally same dude lol
Isn't that a little cringeworthy to label yourself as an enthusiast of something that plays after television shows for 10 seconds?
As somebody who is interested in making documentaries about logo evolutions, I can tell you that logo histories are quite fascinating. The reasons for why certain logos are animated the way they are, as well as the visuals, what the logo represents, the rationale behind the logo presentation, and the music score, are incredibly fascinating details in the wider landscape of graphic arts.
The scary logo stuff I bought into a decade ago, but over time I figured it was somewhat hogwash. The only reason why I initially jumped on that train was due to the 1993 PBS Kids logo, which was loud, had crude animation, and left as quickly as it arrived on the television screen. However, its jarring nature was enhanced as I sometimes caught it in the dark.
If it weren’t for that logo, though, I would not have embarked on this logo journey nor discover other aspects about movie and television logos that I believe a lot of people gloss over and take for granted. They are inextricably linked to the media we consume, so they should be given their due credence. Thanks for this video. It was an interesting glimpse into the strange logo community on RUclips.
I know you may not reply back but Are You takking about the logo with the 3 p heads and the female voice singing the name of the company and the “hoo hoo” at the end??

UPDATE: I’ve got the link. ruclips.net/video/nlmy47a6uiQ/видео.html this is real 😂
I think why some logos are perceived as scary is just the old 60s/70s aesthetic of it combined with watching them at a certain point in the day.
I personally really love designs from that era so a lot of those “scary” logos fascinate me
And sometimes you're alone
I use to be scared of an MTV logo from 1982 which featured a Motel. Just the ominous music with the camera slowly zooming in on the letter m with some white searchlights passing by and it saying “no phone no pool no escape music television”.
On the Screen Gems S logo people are scared of. I've had nightmares of the Screen Gems dancing sticks logo that was from 1963 to 1965.
As someone who has gotten more involved in this logo community, i dont really know that much either. Im only interested in the stuff because the logos are aesthetically pleasing, and of course, nostalgic
Exactly me.
I dont have autism or anything I'm just interested in tv production and design
@@user-vi4xy1jw7e No he's not
there's actually a bit more symbolism behind the mtm logo at the end of st. elsewhere.
it's not just because it's about doctors, it's also signifying that the show is ending, aka dying. and...a lot of people die in hospitals...so...
yeah.
very interesting video. never got the whole "scary logo" thing. I'm not a part of the "logo community", just a side person who does some business in it.

Y’know, mood synthesizers were completely new back when Screen Gems introduced their “Red S” logo. That’s why people were afraid of it back then, it’s a sound they haven’t heard before.

@@Semartify ah shit.
It wasn't done with a moog synth.
I wasn’t even alive back then. But I can see how it’s scary. Like the AI videos, it’s something we’ve never seen before. Something not even Fucking Computers can accomplish.
It's pretty interesting because logos/production studios have a bigger impact on childhood memories than some people might think. I can still clearly remember most of them, even better than some childhood shows I watched. I think the people who are obsessed with logos are likely reliving some of their childhood nostalgia.
When I was younger and watched a lot of Disney DVD’s, the Disney Fast Play logo and the regular Disney logo screens always scared the living crap out of me (I think for me it’s because of just how it looked and the music). I’m not scared of it that much anymore but sometimes when I’m in bed at night and it’s really REALLY dark, the Disney Fastplay logo screen (music, narration and all) plays in my head and I get chills
That MTM logo shook me. It alone was scarier than any other segment.
Not scary, the MTM logo was the cutest logo you’ve ever seen, and Mimsie was a cute cat if you’ve seen “Mary Tyler Moore”, “Bob Newhart Show”, “WKRP in Cincinnati”, “Hill Street Blues”, “Black Shadow”, “St. Elsewhere” and a few others. The company was founded by actress Mary Tyler Moore in about 1970.

Talk of Ableist.
I don't get why people are calling the community "cringy" or whatever. It's just a niche interest that I find myself partaking in here and there. The reason why I do it is bc there were some logos that scared me when I was a little kid and wanted to see if there were other people who felt that way, as well learn more about the history of said logos (and also bc some logos are really cool looking).
I can understand why people may be confused or put off by the logo community, but y'all have to understand that you're not the target audience of their content. Just extend a little bit of empathy, that's all.
There are people who confuse Logo Editors with Logo Bloopers,
Logo Editing was created in 2010 by Kyoobur9000.
I used to always stick around till the end of Spongebob's credits to see united plankton pictures on the screen, i loved it, i adored how it was named after a character in the show, i dodn't even know a planton was an actual animal.
Yeah. A plankton is a animal that lives in the ocean.
My brother once told me plankton was an ant.
As a semi-member of the logo community (bet you can't tell lol), I strongly agree with all of the points made in this video and highly respect your perspective on this topic. I honestly think that the logo community is full of little kids and there's only like a few of us that are actually mature. I've seen some of the comments here as well and I agree with all the criticisms of the logo community that they have presented; they're basically the same complaints I have had about the community (which is why I've partially lost interest in this community). Point is, loved your video, I agree with it all, and thank you for delivering your perspective.
Actually the little kids come from logo edits community
@@zenomonkey5309 Yea. I know that, I actually don't post logos anymore. I show real entertainment.

i dont edit logos but i watch them. im also into scratch.
am i a logo kid? i consider myself one
Jesus Christ that dead Mimsie is horrifying,though it does make sense.
Not to me.
I'm honestly surprised nobody talked about Logo Communities until now
ChrisTehMii I'd just say the Effect Community itself, since there's way more effect edits than logos
They feel like bots
True, i feel like someone like Emp Lemon or Pyrocynical should talk about this community
Being a logo enthusiast myself, I used to love logos all in general. Now, I'm only very interested in motion graphics. Nostalgia wasn't really a reason for me to be obsessed with them.
I'm pretty sure that at least small percentage of the people currently in the logo/logo edit community will get a job in either graphic design or special effects in the future because they practiced with logo edits.
I had a very interesting history with Splaat. I was so scared of him that I refused to download the Krusty Krab Training Video episode because I heard that Nick accidentally aired the Splaat logo instead of the United Plankton Pictures logo during the credits. After watching RoboSplaat and seeing more about Splaat’s personality and backstory, I’m no longer scared of him. It’s quite nice to see that Klasky Csupo is treating Splaat more than a logo, but a character.
Drifting away from Klasky Soup (a little nickname I gave to Klasky Csupo), as a channel that has a Pixar logo edit with 4K views compared to other videos in my channel, I agree that people are SOOOOOO crazy over logos.
I've worked with Kids on the Autism Spectrum, (I also have Aspergers.) and a majority of them would make playlists of logos, and also script things related to logos. One kid I know would say "It's WB not CW!" with no context in response to getting in trouble. It's Interesting.
I'm an Aspie as well. Except instead of logos, dinosaurs (and pretty much all reptiles) were something I couldn't get enough of. Heck, I'm still obsessed with dinosaurs. I wonder if that has something to do with my Autism. Autism is actually really cool to have too, and a lot of people don't realize that.
And I distinctly remember being fond of a little toy Archaeopteryx, the evolutionary link between birds and non avian dinosaurs. I also liked the guy in general. I have a game called Scribblenauts and Archaeopteryx (and the very similar Microraptor) was quite a common object I spawned.
PickleBetard A.K.A Pickle Rick's Fatass Cousin Actually, you really don’t want to have autism.

@@C4ST3R3T3RN4L Because of how you speak and act, Autism can take craziness to the next level tho..........
As a bystander of the logo/CLG community myself, even I can say that it can be rather annoying. (Lord knows how many T.A.T Communications mock-ups are out there) I think it's just fascinating, and logo design is something I crave.
Some logos are legit creepy, or downright nightmare material, (such as the Oz Film Company logo, look up at your own risk.) while others are simply just eerie to watch, due to video artifacting, music, or the time of day. (such as the Screen Gems S or the Viacom V of Doom. I personally don't find those two scary)
In the end, it's not really worthwhile, but it's just fascinating.
Same.
i mean you have a fair point
ah, that TAT logo. i remember people going crazy when an obscured frame of the logo popped up back in 2018 iirc.
I used to be scared of the THX logo, but now I'm not. There are only a few logos I'm truly scared of (including a few zoom-in ones, such as the Ear Booker Productions logo, which the inclusion of screaming and flashing lights didn't help)
As someone on the autism spectrum and a former logo fanatic, I think that the obsession of logos has to do with a hyperfocus or hyperfixation on a certain thing. Logos tend to be that certain thing since many of them are colorful. Then again, that might be just me.
You took the words right out of my mouth. I’m autistic and I was SUPER obsessed with logos when I was in middle school. As unnerved as I was with certain logos, I was also fostered a curiosity and infatuation with synthesizer music (since most of the logos listed on the wiki and on multiple YT compilations are from the 80s).
the community is cringy but the actual logos they are based off of are actually pretty good
Charles H. I actually agree with you
Actually there is 2 parts of the logo community. You got the cringy one with all the stupid logo edits, but you also have the good one where it’s people talking about the logos themselves either is their history, logo finds (sometimes could be rare) and facts about the logos. You should check out TR3X Productions and CCG88 they are the masters of logos from the uk. They make really good content about logos that isn't edits.

Same for my 6-8 year old self, but when anything scary happened on tv, i did.
The Screen Gems logo actually comforts me. However, there is one logo that still terrifies me to this day and even gives me nightmares from time to time. Though it really isn't a production logo, it's known as a "Flashbang logo". Flashbang logos were those "Comming Soon" or "Feature Presentaion" logos that appeared during the previews on some old Disney and mainly Dimension VHS tapes between 1998 and 2003. It starts out with a simple black screen, then a loud "woosh" as the text flies on to the screen, followed by a bright flash and loud noise (don't know the instrument, but it's a G minor note) with the background fading to blue and a creepy ominous voice saying you "Coming soon to home video" or "And now our feature presentation". I think witnissing that alone as a small child scarred me for life, so yeah.

What about people obsessed with the THX logo?
I was scared of that shit so much I had nightmares of it jumping out of my TV and chasing me lol
Mr. Nice The THX logo just hurts my ears.
As someone who used to make these sort of logo edits, I found this video incredibly interesting. I think one thing you touched upon was spot on, that it lets people be creative. I understand how calling a simple logo with Windows Movie Maker effects slapped on it “creative” seems weird, it’s a great starting point for people who want to edit things, make something creative, and just do whatever. Logos are recognizable, so tinkering around with them, putting a bit of yourself in it is great practice, and can subconsciously teach you what makes a great logo. I still occasionally gets comments on my old 20th Century Jake logo videos, which while I don’t fully understand why at times, I just feel happy knowing that they’ll move on to more creative endeavors. Just compare my current logo with my old 20th Century logos, and you can see how I got tired of the formula and experimented until I eventually made something I’m actually proud of. I went from downloading a blender file and changing one word, to getting my own footage, color grading it, compositing different elements and making something a little more distinct. From getting the footage to render time, my current logo took 2 and a half hours to make. I’m happy how much I’ve moved on.
I use to be part of these "Logo edits" in 2013/2014
boy i'm glad I'm not into editing logos anymore
I'm pretty sure these are random kids (well some) who are editing these videos as so much I know.
At this point I think logo editing is just dead now
..or at least for me I find it dead...

Thank you for this video! My first exposure was through alterations of the GameCube startup screen, and i had no idea why there are many altered versions on YT. Also the reasons explained on the video may also explain why people have an obsession with Operating Systems.
Funny how these guys have an obsession with operating systems, and they are always making videos of fake operating systems, but they never actually figure out that you rarely ever see the actual operating system and most of what you see is the desktop environment/window manager, so when they're talking about "dragon tales OS" they mean Ubuntu Linux with a bad color scheme and a low-quality desktop picture.

this is so nostalgic, i used to love logos but it was more like video game console startups or computer logos like the windows logo and even those sparta remixes that used to be everywhere around youtube. and i am glad you talked about it because its such a large community but nobody actually notices it.
I'm kind of surprised you didn't talk about the rare logos like T.A.T Communications Company or P.I.T.S because another reason why they're interesting is because some are rare and hard to find and some are straight up lost (such as the 1995 DTS logo).
I think you nailed it. I’m very nostalgic for, among other things, the Paramount VHS logos that I'd see at the beginning of a bunch of Nick tapes. I think it’s that they’re a part of film and television history. When I see an old logo, I’m reminded that the movie or show I’m watching is from a different time, though I also find it fascinating when studios plaster them, whether it be MGM covering for United Artists, Sony TV hiding the Torch Lady and Pegasus, or Saban appearing in a galaxy instead of a sky.

I can also take criticism, dont care if there are dislikes on my video, and I don't understand why most logo editors are obsessed with BFDI and object show. Also, autism does play a part in this obsession, but, like me, some people dont have autism but are still obsessed with logos. Also, what I didn't mention was that I don't even watch logo content that much anymore, I just make videos on them. I still occasionally watch videos about logos, but I watch more other things.

As a long-time member of the logo community, I’m glad you covered this. While I can’t personally explain what draws me to them, I still find it fun to take to youtube and just binge logos. One of the only logo-edit channels I watch is Kyoobur9000, he’s basically a titan in the logo-edit community who’s actually made a bit of an empire for himself as many people have joined his network known as the Kyoobur Network, which I’m actually the co-owner of!
When I was little I always used to watch Dragon Tales and other Columbia Tristar videos for the logo at the end. I would even get them from the library and desperately try to hide the fact from my mom that I just wanted it to watch the logos. I remember whenever I got dropped off at my grandmas house after summer school (because my mom was still at work), I would turn on channel 11 (PBS Kids, WMHT) and see the last parts of Clifford The Big Red Dog at 12 PM and then I would sit there and watch Dragon Tales from 12:30 to 1:00. At the end I would get very close to the TV and see the Columbia Tristar Television logo pop up on the screen. I also recall seeing Columbia Tristar Television Distribution at the end of it, which explains why I would always watch closely for that logo. Even when PBS Kids introduced the part where the credits zoomed to the top right side of the corner into the big TV they had in that room (where the host would always go on and talk about crap), I would put my face towards the top right corner and watch as the credits go by. Although when they added those zoomed out credits I would always hope for a glitch in the system for it to not do it and just do the credits the way it used to be.
My little brother is OBSESSED with this kind of stuff. I never knew why until I watched this video. Thanks for covering this!
As someone who used to be in the logo community, I personally find Klasky Csupo more scary than the S from Hell. But the cat death part would be scary and anxiety-material as a kid.

The entire scary logo community is cringe, ranging from cringey edits to animation videos to comments and even pictures on DeviantArt!
The Scary Logos Wiki is no longer that bad, but that doesn’t mean the comments are. Such logos also use BFDI elements. While I’m not a fan of BFDI myself, I do think about and cringe upon lookin at a character, since it reminds me of the logo community. That’s a bummer, because the series itself isn’t bad. There is truly no point in the logo videos, art, or the fan base itself. It’s a utterly cringey waste of time.

The Blastoise saying "I AM THE PRINCE OF THE CLOSING LOGOS!" brought back so many repressed memories
Interesting video. For me, the reason why I’am a logo fan is because I like learning about the history of different logos, and the many variations they may have had over the years, especially the rare nearly extinct ones. Some of it I will agree is tied to nostalgia as well, seeing a logo from an old show I watched as a kid, and haven’t seen in years can be like stepping into a time machine sometimes, even the ones that used to scare me. Yes... I was one of those kids that used to be afraid of certain logos, not anymore though, I grew out of that as I got older. In fact, trying to remember what logos used to scare me and looking them up online is what initially got me into researching logos. I’m not as obsessed with them as I used to be, but I’ll still look them up from time to time, mostly the rare hard to find ones like I mentioned earlier. Never understood the appeal of those effect videos however. Some of them were interesting, but most of them I never cared for.
Same question but Windows. Seriously. Just cause we like computers doesn't mean we have to make "nEvEr ReLeAsEd" rubbish. My part of the fandom is civilised.
That’s funny and cringe. At least the wiki is going and making mostly good quality future versions of windows as a “future trip”
I'm autistic and might have been one of the first RUclips dependent "logo kids" back in the late 2000's/early 2010's. To this very day the V of Doom, S from Hell, DiC Kid in Bed, BND mask, Walt Disney Classics, Klasky Csupo, PBS, and all those other logos (especially VHS logos) remind me of the peak of my logophilia, in my 1st-4th grade years. Strangely enough I've never found any logo scary.
And let's not forget, the Looney Tunes Intro Bloopers which involved the WB shield, and the V of Doom and S from Hell and BND mask etc
Even though I am currently reliving interests from my early teens, it seems that I will always have a place in my heart for logos.
Ask Me Questions!
I'm planning to make a video about this, and I'm in the logo community. I did help Daniel get some older videos for this video, and I'm planning to make a follow up addressing other things that about the logo community that I personally want to address. As a past logo editor myself, I know some trends and such. I'm still uploading logo stuff, with the exception being that it is just the logo (for archival purposes).

What about the windows community? I always see windows XP or versions that don’t exist but i can’t stop watching them for some reason...
I used to be in the logo editing community, It was fun in the start but when you do more and more of it, it doesn’t feel so fun anymore.
BLANK BLANK on Cartoon Network (September 11, 2001/RARE)
*@Cartoon Nearby* You're everywhere xD
*9/11.......*
Isn't that your channel in a little nutshell?
Super Luigi World 27 shaddup
You are not wrong
The MtM logo really startled me, but it was also pretty clever at the same time. I'm also still somewhat spooked by the Klasky Csupo logo as it sometimes appears in my nightmares.
Daniel is now a Creepypasta channel
As a little kid, i used to be scared to death of the old nick bumpers and the paramount logo, and every time one would pop up i (apparently) kept shouting "panama huntin" and i vividly remember running to the corner or upstairs to hide
I was always scared of DNA with Paul, Radical Sheep and THX and still am somewhat scared of those
when i first found out that the viacom V and screen gems eye logos from the 60s-70s, i dont get how "scary" they are to people. for me, i consider them abstract/retro art. now i get why people fear the klasky csupo logo, the MTM death logo, and some of the indian film logos from the 30s-90s, especially dwarakish chitra.
The reason I'm scared of the screen gems logo is actually the jingle
I have a general obsession with certain logos but not on TV, which isn't a bad thing on itself. I think it has something to do with symbolism, and what the meaning behind the logo is. I don't think it's special either, it's just that symbolism is like one of the main things that helps makes a meaning iconic and sometimes it can be fascinating depending on the meaning to me.
For example the Super Mario 64 logo is like a legendary logo to me because of how great the game is and how it likely helped create a lot of average 3D games. I'm not into the logo just because it's an interesting logo itself, I'm interested into it because it's a symbol of something very great. XD
I feel like it would be a disservice not to mention autism and the logo community. As an autistic person myself who used to be a part of this community, and saw others who fit my same mold, it think it would be likely that a large portion of the logo community would be autistic because of niche, specific interests that would be unheard of to neurotypicals.
This felt like a real documentary, very good editing. (I hope this doesn’t become the petscop of Daniel T)
Oh. My. God. I used to be so obsessed with these as a kid. I always liked that feeling of uncannyness while watching “scary” logos. It was so fun just reading the forums on the CLG wiki about these things. Even looking at those “scary logo effect” videos.
I remember finding the classic wacky Nickelodeon Movies logos from the late 90s to the early 2000s charming to see as a kid while watching Rugrats the Movie + the sequel, Hey Arnold the Movie, The Wild Thornberrys Movie, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius etc.
However the dog, the house that got destroyed by the logo, the atmospheric music before the moon (aka the logo) sneezed, actually felt kinda freaky (at least the house didn't freak me out a friccin' lot as much as the trailer for Cat in the Hat movie, when they showed the upper level start falling down to wacky music, and then ending with the cat walking away from the camera like nothing happened and then the logo showed up. Everything was in English too so I still had no idea what was going on. I couldn't even start watching Sinbad without feeling that our part of the house will fall down.).
But hey, at least it was close enough to hear the Nickelodeon theme. Idk why, but when I used to watch Nickelodeon a lot as a kid (we didn't have Cartoon Network until around after 2010), and I never knew that Nickelodeon had a main theme since I don't think they played it here in Sweden. It wasnt until I watched the Nostalgia Critic's Nickelodeon Month video like... three, four years ago or something that I heard the theme. And I also never realised that the different styles of the Nickelodeon Movies theme was the same as the Nickelodeon theme, just more different to fit the intros.
"please do not harass anyone in the video"
I dont think that i'll harass the Cartoon Network logo anytime soon but thank you for thinking about me.
Don't wanna harass BND.
We're not gonna harras the S From Hell.
As a person interested in filmmaking, my interests come from my obsessions with logos.
i actually cried at the cat part
I have asperger's and I think tv logos are cool,just not cool enough to get absolutely obsessed with,but I can see why,and they are oddly fascinating. I'm just not obsessed, I do like the history though. Sometimes I go down that rabbit hole sometimes,you do you. Whether it's furries,logos,or world war two, do what you love.
As an autistic, I think it's an autism thing. I was never obsessed with logos myself, but I did like playing a game called Logo Quiz when I was younger where I had to guess the logo.
