I'll forgo any explanatory text and just make this a haven for posting cool studio logos, title cards, and credit sequences. Seen before all of the great Powell & Pressburger classics like Black Narcissus and The Red Shoes.  Customized Paramount logo from Psycho (1960)  Early 30s Radio Pictures (before RKO was added)  70s/early 80s Warner Bros. logo designed and animated by Saul Bass  Custom Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer logo from 2001: A Space Odyssey  Universal logo used from early 60s through late 80s.     (Intertitle from Metropolis) Some Saul Bass title sequences: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfryFBHAPfU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZZWgIBwF2w and Pablo Ferro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NCchMzrGSs and Maurice Binder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8XNBpIkQpU This website has a ton of great high quality title screens: http://annyas.com/screenshots/

The stylized MGM logo is probably from Kubrick wanting something striking. I think it was used on one other film, but MGM continued to use it on posters for a few years and their soundtracks. Large format films like 2001 required logos to be re-shot in the same format to avoid poor quality. Columbia actually had a new painting of their logo created and shot in 65mm for Lawrence of Arabia (though, it doesn't have the animation effects of their 35mm version). Ben-Hur used a still frame of the MGM logo.   and some more nice title art:    Also, I like the look of the old BBFC cards on old British films

These are like the mini 3d shorts at the start of movies we have now right? Those things can take up like 5 minutes of a movie.

It includes one of my personal favorites:  The titles, the stamped animations, the music, the entire sequence... just fantastic. You could also just show the title sequence to someone and they'd instantly know what the movie was about.

This loses a lot without the sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dL0lNGXoP8E&t=10s e: the trippy part starts at about 1:05 but it's all pretty good! Also, Iginio Lardani did a bunch of westerns and there's a decent feature over at Art Of The Title on them, but The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly has to be the best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kccafOf4O6Q http://www.artofthetitle.com/feature/a-fistful-of-titles-the-westerns-of-iginio/ I, Butthole fucked around with this message at 00:59 on Sep 13, 2016 |

These are all from Blu-Ray (also working on upgrading a few images in the OP)        More custom logos:  (from The Adventures of Robin Hood)  (from Alice in Wonderland)  (from A Clockwork Orange) and more title cards:

Hitchcock seemed to like having unique logos on his films. from Rope  from Rear Window (ending logo - opening one is the usual one)  from The Wrong Man (sorry, no Blu-Ray yet)   from Vertigo (until the Blu-Ray, I assumed it was straight B&W. It actually has a cross-hatched pattern!)  from North by Northwest from Psycho  from The Birds  from Marnie And some title cards...           Also, Paramount's neat VistaVision logo...

When I first saw this one at a young age I thought they were two ladders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7VIHtxQPEU This was my favorite one growing up. I think it was because I had seen a good run of films and they all had that opening. Johnny Got His Gun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqBj68MzNDA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nwMfSdlj7Y I'm sort of an apologist for this one, but I still admit the film isn't nearly as good as its opening credits might lead you to believe.

I hate the latest take on the MGM logo, where it starts on a CG lion's eye and zooms out into the splotchy, upscaled old lion footage. Might as well have remade the whole thing in CG or just left well enough alone.

I always feel vaguely disappointed when the DVD release of an old movie replaces the logos of the time with the current version. I grew up seeing the Saul Bass 'worm' logo on WB films, for instance, and it doesn't feel quite right to see the modern take on the shield there instead.

This isn't necessarily high art or anything, but as a kid I always really loved the retro Universal title that came before Back to the Future 3--it set that nice 1950s tone

It's obnoxious because it's changing the way the film was originally released. Sometimes filmmakers do ask for removal (Richard Lester asked for the 4K restoration of A Hard Day's Night to jump right into the movie) I like the approach Universal takes with the Paramount films they own. Simply put their current logo before the film. Worse when a unique logo is removed. A Bridge Too Far has a retro 40s United Artists logo, but the current prints have a generic MGM logo.

Zogo posted:Universal logo history: I love the music in the modern Universal opening. Sounds so good at the cinema. Am I correct in thinking Universal did some cool stuff with movies like Jurassic Park where they had the old Pangea globe or for the release of some disaster movie they had the polar ice caps melted or something?

Some classic logos in HD...       (from Taxi Driver. The horrible quality of the logo is perfect for the film)  (Fox used a special version of their logo for 70mm movies like The Sound of Music)  (from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs)  (from The Wild Bunch)  (from The Searchers) Egbert Souse fucked around with this message at 03:58 on Sep 21, 2016 |

Experimental/avant-garde films often have cool titles...       Some intermission titles:      and more logos:  (from Bullitt)  (from A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum)  (from The Great Race)  (from A Chump at Oxford)  (logo used for Warner's 3-D films and a few mid-50s CinemaScope films)

These are great, thanks. I do love it when they mess with the classic logos for a particular film. I got all excited because I thought this was going to be a discussion of what the different logos and credits meant and who was entitled to have them on the film and why.
