I tear up a bit with the bittersweet nostalgia of THX, Universal, Colombia, and 20th Century Fox. As a film student, all these film company logos I watched when I was very early in my childhood hold a very special place in my heart.

A24's logo has a separate fanbase

Opening studio logos often being more than just some industry-standard requirement was something I first noticed around 91 or 92 or whenever it was I saw Edward Scissorhands for the first time. The beautiful blue-toned 20th Century Fox logo with the snow falling around it always stayed with me and it magically set the tone for the story that was about to be told. This was a great little video essay further illustrating how this can and has worked in the past. Thumbs up.

It's a treat to watch how Into The Spiderverse adapts and changes the various studio logos it uses.

The New Line Cinema logo holds a special place in my heart

anyone remember Batman TAS opening?? the warners logo with the two headlights slowly turning into a blimp and then panning down to Gotham. it was so cool

One of my favorites is the Disney fanfare before the CINDERELLA remake. Cinderella's Castle dissolves into the opening shot of Cinderella's Castle in the movie. It's great!

The now defunct Revolution Studios logo was pretty tight, also love the old school Columbia Pictures opening for Superbad.

The Carolco logo. The epitome of action films from the late 80s/early 90s. The one that gets me emotional just watching it was the Universal 100th Anniversary with its rousing score.

As somebody who loves film companies, especially ones that were a part of my childhood, this is a really great video. I especially loved it where you mentioned the Simpsons THX trailer.

I love the contents. This channel deserves more than 100, 000 subscribers!!! Truly an underrated gem for cinephages and cinephiles...

[flyinsaucier]

I’ve always wanted to make a video that strings together every movie studio logo, like the intro to some never-ending Too Many Cooks film opening. This is the next best thing.

Really interesting! Going to pay more attention to the logo sequence now.

MGM abandoned Leo's roar in '68 for '2001: A Space Odyssey'.

Probably my favourite recent one has been Film4's ident/title/logo from the past couple years.
With the pan down and filmstrip vibes on top of a pool

Great video and analysis! Clearly done with love and appreciation for the art form. Subscribed!

[zsofiavera]

Did anyone ever play that game, in the infancy of their cinephilia, of guessing the production company in the first 2 seconds of the logo animation?

[echolot]
