Talk:Production logo

message: * "Closing" logos are pretty specific to television, and "opening" logos on movies serve much the same purpose, so I wonder if there should be one page for both. Production logo perhaps? Done
* A history of opening/closing logos would be good. Most of the early history would be shared with logo, but this article would cover Hollywood's take on the subject. Done
* Finally, keep in mind that Wikipedia keeps to a neutral point of view. On this particular subject, there's lots of cases where the scariest logo someone's ever seen won't bother someone else, and vice versa, so it'd be good to couch this in some sort of consensus. Also, write clearly and refrain from using CLGisms unless you explain them -- remember that this is here for the whole Internet to see, not just the CLG or its spinoffs. See Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles for more on Wikipedia's writing style.

thread_title: Some thoughts

message: Is there any reason why warner brothers are not listed on list of major closing logos? Warner brothers uses both an opening logo and a closing logo on all of its films too. Borb 15:06, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Warner Bros. 

message: Is there any real reason to list companies with logos? It's not as though they are all that uncommon. tregoweth 16:01, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
:I could see there being a list of studios with particularly notable (or notorious, for that matter) logos, though I don't quite know where it would fit inside this article. I have noticed that most of the studios' own pages have had discussion about their particular logos on them, but beyond that I'm not sure (for one thing, how to define "notable" is fuzzy in this case). -lee 17:34, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Company list

message: What happened? I see that a long time ago that this article had a long description. now people are messing it up, especially when people are talking about some club I left a long time ago.

thread_title:  Recreate this article 

message: There are some good sites out there with some detailed chronologies, specifically this one about Paramount. The information is there, but this article really lacks in that respect.

replies: text: I checked the link just now, and it's broken. Also, this article isn't about the histories of individual logos, it's more about how the production logo developed over time, or at least that's what I had in mind for it back in 2005. -lee 18:33, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Paramount Logo 

message: The information given at the "History" section does not cite its sources at all. It might be copied from somewhere else. Therefore I think that this article must be re-written and the sources must be cited. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by T-9000 (talk • contribs) 11:36, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I originally wrote the bulk of the History section myself, especially for Wikipedia. If there's another site using the same text, it's most likely a mirror of this page. That said, it could use some cleaning up. -lee 18:19, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Plagiarism? 

message: Does anybody know about who writes the music for the logos?
The composers I know are Alfred Newman (The 20th Century Fox fanfare), Jerry Goldsmith (The Universal Studios current logo) and Thomas Newman (the Imagine logo). It would be interesting if someone could mention more composers in the article. Thanks--Surten (talk) 05:07, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, and the music from the Warner Bros. logo is "As Time Goes By", though I'm pretty sure you knew that.--Surten (talk) 05:09, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Music 

message: When I saw the trailer for The Simpsons Movie, I saw that the 20th Century Fox logo at the beginning of the trailer had the "0" replaced by a donut with pink frosting. Shouldn't we add a reference to it? Sean90 13:11, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No; this is an article about logos, not a listing of them. —tregoweth (talk) 02:57, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Simpsons Movie: Logo variant 

message: * We really, really need some cites for the things mentioned in the History section; they're all factual, but they're also incomplete, and I'm not sure what books would have the information. Perhaps it's time to recruit an expert? (in the meantime, I'm considering just removing the section until we have enough references to do a rewrite. Better a stub than the mess that's there now.)
* Speaking of which, this article is within the scope of at least Wikipedia:WikiProject Filmmaking and Wikipedia:WikiProject Visual arts. Other suggestions would be great. -lee 21:05, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fixing things up 

message: These days whenever I go to see a movie in a theater there's always multiple logos for multiple companies. There's usually one for the theater, one for the sound system, maybe one for the projection technology, a couple for the production companies, and then one for the movie studio. Are all of these considered "production logos?" Is there a name for the whole set ("opening production credits" or something like that)? --76.123.176.14 (talk) 21:33, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Does this include things like the DTS logo? 

message: Doesn't Futurama use a 30th Century Fox variation? That should probably be added.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sammi.mcclain (talk • contribs) 03:02, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Futurama 

message: Apparently someone made a short film about the old Screen Gems logo, concentrating on phobias about it, and it got into the Sundance Film Festival.  It's called "The S from Hell"(!) and is showcasing on Youtube for a limited time.  I wonder if this counts towards secondary-source attention to the phenomenon.

Happens to look like it was a recreation using some photo editing software. Should we be concerned? Sean Michael (Seaners 2010) (talk) 16:59, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
