AsdfTheRevival:

Scary
I used to have nightmares about the creepy Klasky-Csupo SSF from Rugrats, Rocket Power, Wild Thornberrys etc. I mean, a creepy looking face just randomly bashing into your screen and staring at you? O_O I for some reason can watch this without getting scared on YouTube, but I can't brave it on TV. It's very scary on the small screen (TV), even though it's not very scary on the really small screen (YouTube).

On the big screen on Rugrats flicks- it's a friggin' nightmare, but I doubt there will ever be another Rugrats movie considering SpongeBob is now Nickelodeon's heavy hitter, so we don't have to worry about that.

Here's a funny video I made parodying the logo:



Annoying
The 2002-present DiC logo, the 2004-present NBC Universal logo, and the 2003-present WB Television logo

Used to Scare me (kind of still does)

The Bedford Falls Company logo as seen on shows like "My So Called Life" with the haunted house and creepy voices used to scare the crap out of me. It still is pretty creepy, but now that I've seen it tens of thousands of times, it's not creepy anymore. However, I warn you, this will scare the crap out of you the first time you see it on Youtube- especially if your volume was high (which mine was when I first saw it) MachineryNoise and Mikintosh3001 currently have it. Mikintosh's version is in high sound and video quality making it less scary, however.

Scarey:

Klasky Csupo's SSF (formly nicknamed Robot), which is like what Asdf mentioned. Well, who wants a freaky face appering out of nowhere and staring at you like if you were crazy? The SSF is much like that. That stopped me from waching Nickelodeon, and avoding me from wach Rugrats movies! However, I love the their past logo, "Graffti". Constrtain Films also scares me, but not as much as the SSF.

Annoying:

The first Saban logo.

Because of the music.

Scares me:
HBO Independent Productions :UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGLYYYYYYYYYYY!
Is that logo supposed to be an oven, which is getting ready to kill me? Oh and don't forget the bzzzzzzzzzzz bzzzzzzzzzzzz sound effect when the hand turns on the light. I refuse to watch Martin, and Everybody Loves Raymond, because of this logo.

Annoys me:
Columbia Tri-Star Television (1996-2002)

Annoys Me:
Thorn-EMI/HBO Video,
It's Because of that damn music!


sega3dmm:

Scares me:
"Deep Note". It's scary, AND ANNOYING AT THE SAME TIME! I think one day I'm gonna kill that guy who made the sound. I once had a dream when the THX "Broadway 1997" trailer came on a big HDTV in a store and the force of the sound literary BLEW me away to the basement floor and I died of pain. Here's a Halloween I made video paroding it:


Used to scare me:
What used to scare me was the Walt Disney Classics logos from 1988-1994. I didn't care if the audio is clean or distorted. The animation scared me - so did the animation of the 1986 WDHV logo! Distorted music made it worse. I even had to REFUSE watching my Disney classics on VHS!

I was also scared of the 1993 PBS Kids ident called "The P-Pals". It wasn't scared of the Hip-Hop music and the "This is PEE BEE EZ! Hooh! Arf!" which I thought was awesome. I was afraid of the seizure-textured P-Pals and that dog. Does that dog even look like a dog or a pile of living s**t!? I remember I used to shield my eyes with a pillow or something when it comes on. When the P-Pals were banned and were replaced by 2 kids named Dash and Dot, I was happy, but I remember the day I first saw it on TV. When I expected the P-Pals to come on-screen, I covered my eyes (with a pillow) but I heard different music and I took I little peek. I shouted in my mind that the P-Pals were dead - and I remember this and I was 4 years old!







Annoys Me:
Media Blasters/Anime Works
It's because of that synth! It's on my Invader Zim DVD!

I'm also annoyed by the plaster-happy Incredible World of DiC logo because it plasters every single g**damn pre-2001 DiC show and I have a HIGH feeling that it's on those SatAM, AoSth and Captin N box sets for every SINGLE episode.

The thrid logo, or should I say logos, that annoys me is the Nickelodeon logos that plasters every Nicktoon logo if the split-screen credits were used. What puts the icing on the poisend cake is the kids laughing on those logos. I prefer those drum sounds in the 2000-2006 logo in it's very early days


Unknown:
This is a real annoyance:

It's not scary, per se, but it sure is monotonous. And annoying. And plaster-happy.

Scares Me Currently:

MTE (1987-1990)



This logo scared the crap out of me when I first saw this on Youtube. I don't remember seeing this much on television in the 1990's. The way the music is remixed like the regular 1975-1990 Universal static globe with different instruments sounds pretty godawful and scary. The animation looks pretty cool and well done for the time, but does it scare me? Fairly, but the music is what makes this logo scary. Not the rollercoaster-like CGI, but the instrumental remix of the 1975-1990 Universal theme.


Constantin Films (early 1960's)



Man, another bloody nightmare!! Here's another scarefest: the Constantin Films logo used in the 1960's. The music in this one can't be more bombastic then what it already is. It starts out with a mellow drumroll; just as soon as that ends, we abruptly hear a bombastic fanfare with very high pitch notes which may scare even the most emoist of kids ( just kiddin'). The logo is pretty much static in this one; however, at the end, it all of a sudden brings forth seizure-like animation which looks very cheap even for it's time. The animation is horrible and very scary.


Renaissance Pictures



One of longest lasting logos currently shown on television, yet giving people more and more scares. Now the animation is cheesy but not scary with the exception of the lightning; however, the monks droning "AMEN!" and the crackle of lightning is pretty scary and very unexpected after watching another episode of the fine action show Xena.


Logos that used to scare me:

LBS Communications (1984)



After watching Inspector Gadget and Heathcliff & the Cadillac Cats back in 1994 and 1995, I would see Dic and this indigo thing. Am I scared of it anymore? No, but the music is what I was scared of because it played that overly dramatic synthesizer tone with animation that looked pretty awesome. Approximately 12 years later, I really admire how much i miss the logo which very nice looking early CGI and is amongst one of my favorites. Like I posted before, the music is very dramatic for synthesizer, and it could scare some little kids like me.


Saul Group/SFM Combo



I know I forgot to put Nelvana in there for you Care Bear fans, but here's what I thought was a deadly combo when I was a little Saul Group and SFM. I'm not putting SFM as the picture, but Saul Group I will. Let's start out with the Saul Group. The animation is really not that bad, it's cheesy and fairly cheap with the two "S"s forming and flashing. The music/ SFX, on the other hand used to pretty much scare me because it went from a quiet, mellow, low synthesizer jingle to were you heard a bell which sounds fairly loud which always kept me off guard when I watched Care Bears. Today, the Saul Group for my opinion is pretty much average with no scare factor and a pretty nice mellow synthesizer tone which makes this logo sorta relaxing. The SFM logo I'm stilll fairly creeped out about it today. The main reason why like 13 years and sometimes today is because of the announcer and the morse code which meant scare factor pretty much close to off the charts. Like I said, I still think the SFM logo is still fairly creepy today.


MGM (Everyone of the lions)

I used to not like the MGM Lions because they were loud and obnoxious. Today, I see them as pretty awesome particularly Leo and Jackie which those two are pretty awesome.


Logos that annoy the piss out of me

P.I.T.S. Films (1978)



Two things I hate about this logo: the music and color scheme. The synthesizer jingle for this one makes me want to go into an utter insanity and commit suicide because it's that bad. The color scheme is messed-up as well because they chose an excellent color combo (sarcastically) green against blue and thought, "Wow, let's make something that looks like it's from an Apple 1 or 2" The 3-D letters and animation look fairly cool, but the music and color scheme are so godawful they make my ears and eyes bleed.


Sony Pictures Television (2002)

The animation is slightly better the Columbia Tristar Pictures Television "Boxes of Boredom", but the question is "Is it better than the Boxes of Boredom?" Answer: No! Main reason: it's very monotonous; even though, they have an extended version of the logo on Jeopardy!. The music for this logo is not bad, but after hearing from 2003 when the logo started getting monotonous until this year and beyond, it became apparent within the logo community that the music became very stale, trite, and very elderly (old) like the mockery from the current Orville Redenbacher commercials. Overall, the logo pretty much sucks.


Incredible World of Dic (2001)

May look cute in the process, but after watching it plaster old Dic shows with the old Dic logos such as the Littles, the logo became very annoying, boredom was settling in the recesses of my brain, and oh yes, one other thing for this logo which is the icing on this cake, it's very monotonous/tedious/repetitive of how many times it has played.


CBS Paramount Television (May 2006-July 2007)

I can stand the "Eye in the Sky" and the first variation of this logo, but the second variation is absolute crap because we have average animation for this logo which indeed looks cheap. Afterwards, we have instrumental music which does not even sound half as good as the "Eye in the Sky." Another thing which sucks about this logo is how monotonous it was for the 14 months it lived. This logo was on Judge Judy without the music, Judge Joe Brown with the music and Entertainment Tonight with the music. This logo was also used alot on the CW when it took over the WB September 2006. Overall, they over drawn this logo too many times, and those are the three reasons why this logo is a piece of crap. In August 2007, we see a much better looking logo for what was Paramount/ CBS Paramount Television as I like to call it "The Backstage" with much better music which sounds more dramatic and more uplifting, the logo looks like spent decent time with that because the animation/ logo's appearance looks alot better/cleaner.

Viacom V of Doom (1976):

Just a horrid logo that use to scare me when I was little, but now pretty much hate the logo because of the godawful synthesizer/tymphany combo which sounds like garbage which I dunno what the conductor was thinking, and the music can give you a migraine the size of texas knowing how craptascular/loud the jingle is. It has a bad color scheme (not as bad as P.I.T.S. Films) which is purple against dark purple against white which looks bad. The only decent thing about this logo is the animation which is not bad for it's time, but still reeks early CGI.


JART4629: That 1989 PBS logo. No, don't laugh at me, I actually had nightmares about that logo. I was like three and after the Sesame Street music came, I would sit in fear of that logo. And as for sega3dmm, I used to hate the Black Diamond, too, as well as the KingWorld "spotlights" THAT was unfriendly.
Annoying ones: That yellow FHE logo is disgusting, Moonlight Productions, Sony Bars of Boredom.

Thorn EMI-HBO Video Logo

dealydugan1995

Logos That Scare Me:

Universal Television w/ 1979-1981 music:

This logo scares the hell out of me ever since I first heard it. The music was slowed down and had the kettledrum at the final note, and scares me to death. I have nightmares of this logo every time I see it! There are other people who are scared of this too...

Hanna Barbara "Swirling Star":

I am absolutely terrified of this! At the end of "The Powerpuff Girls", the logo starts playing and scares me to death.

1978 WGBH Boston:

This scares me and gives me nightmares.

Logos That Used to Scare Me:

Wolf Films:

When I was little (about 4 or 5), I was terrified of the Wolf Films logo every time I saw it at the end of "Law & Order" on A&E (it showed on A&E from 1994?-2002).

Logos That Annoy Me:
None


Logos That Used to Scare Me:



Man! That logo scared the hell out of me when I was 8. It was the Hanna Barbera Action logo from 1994. I've seen this on Scooby Doo, Where Are You?. That's a nightmare!!!

Annoys me alot:
Magnetic Video Corp. (????-????)
The mirror effect is just overdone and it seems to go on forever. The logo is about 30 seconds of scrolling text over a big M. And don't even mention the music.

WizardDuck:

Scary:
-Renaissance Pictures: Okay, I've gotta be candid, what were they thinking when they made this? The Mona Lisa being torn apart by lightning, what kind of sense does that make? It's worse than this next one, though...
-Klasky-Csupo Robot: Bizarre. What sense does this make? My reason is basically the same as Asdf's: a creepy looking face staring at you! What the heck?!
