The Closing Logos of Friends (With Small Bonus)

As a thank you for reaching 2000 subscribers, I've decided to do a run down of the original logos used on Friends. Now this is a big deal because of the lack of videos showcasing all of the logos used on the original prints. And that is because of the lack of sources containing them. Because of later releases cutting them off, syndication and the HD masters, it has become near impossible to find a good high quality source with the original logos.

However, I was able to find out that the PAL DVD releases of Friends retain all of the original logos. This is a big plus over the NTSC DVD releases which are a disaster in terms of logos. It is what has allowed me to create this project. It was a bit small so I've included another show as well. I will be showcasing these in separate videos to give some details about them later. With all of that said, enjoy the run down of logos from such a classic show!

Friends is one of the best NBC shows out there, It's memorable because of two things, nearly every episode title start with The One and the theme song as well.

Congrats on reaching 2, 000 subs, and least I'm glad that the PAL DVD's preserved everything.

1:12 WB: NO! PUT ME BACK ON, MY FANFARE HAS TO PLAY!

If logos could talk...

(Show's theme finishes playing during WBTV logo, expected to fade out)
WBTV Logo: Wait, I need to play my theme!
Show's editor: (grunts in anger)
(WBTV theme plays)
WBTV Logo: Thank you! This show is from us! (fades)

The PAL DVD releases have the original NBC broadcast versions which is why the original logos are left intact. The NTSC DVD box set releases have the international versions which is why the logos are not shown at all in those US releases. I read that the Complete Series Blu-Ray release retain the NBC broadcast versions.

1:10 I KNEW there was at least one occurance of the logo fading out just for it to come back on with the fanfare. At least my claim on the TVTropes Nightmare Fuel/Vanity Plate page is now confirmed true.

[sergeantnet]

4:08 Okay, now we can end this episode, shall we?
WBTV, after 1998 logo fades: *But I'm not done yet!*

Procedes to play the normal WBTV logo. 🤣

[superneonicelogan]

3:32 what the? they played their logo twice

[andrewwilson]

God I hated that Warner bro logo with the high tone

[guatelogos]

Wow !!! Awesome, one of my favorite show, thanks for the logos friend, congratulations.

What I hated about Warner Bros. Television is that it kept giving me nightmares as a kid. How? By unnecessarily catching me off-guard with its loud 1994 fanfare when I'm not expecting it. Because of this, I've stopped liking Warner Bros. in favor of 20th Century Fox and Paramount.

From 2000 till 2004 (mid-season 6 to 10) these closings were nostalgic to me…
