One has to do with the ships/boats at a cloudy day (with the blurred background of the glass you can hardly tell) and the other has to do with a man using his oars to navigate his boat.The blurred background has a close up of a flower.An animated version of the logo exists, which starts with a bunch of white lines forming the "W", and the blurred background is the waves hitting the rock.Same as above, except this time the blurred background is a pair of cows on a field of grass on a sunrise/cloudy day (once again, the blurred background of the glass makes it hard to tell).Once again, the white lines form the "W". The blurred background is rain hitting against a window.The blurred background is a shore of a beach.FX/SFX: The live-action background. The lines forming the W on the animated version.Music/Sounds: A synth piano tune.Music/Sounds Variant: There exists an extended version of the above music, which starts with a flute playing.Availability: Extinct.Editor's Note: None.

What's the weirdest logo you've ever seen?

Mvboys2:- I'd have to nominate much of the '70s VPRO logos. The "Indian Head" one, with it's headbanging, surreal synth music, and especially the gibberish at the end, the "Melting" one with the melting logo, eyesore color scheme, and constipated moaning, the one where the woman says "Now I will give you a kiss..." and kisses the screen, the "Sunglasses" logo with it's strange concept and eye at the end, but the winner is the one where mouths are flying across the screen and singing a bizzare tune.BE4:- Ka 2 (1995 and 2007-2008):Those of 1995 don't seem to be grounded in any reality whatsoever and the 2007-2008 are... suprising. - Astro Records and Filmworks (Germany) (1st and 2nd logo): Some of the longest logo's ever made, but they might very well pass of as shorts on their own. - Canal+ (6th logo) (and its derivatives): 4-player split-screen co-op in logo format. FireLaser244-Nickelodeon "Egg and Spoon" ID (1990-2003): So the egg is actually a monster, and the spoon is actually a chicken? This is making a whole lot of sense (sarcasm)-MTV "Potato Head" ID (1989): This looks like Mr. Potato Head's horrific nightmares after seeing some of MTV's other IDs-Helltimate Studio(1999-2007): That guy seems to like licking things, but why did he destroy the TV?-Titwala Filmwalas (2001): I give up trying to figure out why they used that weird instrument. The background looks trippy as wellMore coming soon
