Scary Logos Wiki

Logos[]

1st logo: On a blue background, we see a red box surrounded by a black square outline, resembling a television. Inside the TV, we see a long "T" connected to a long "L", which is connected to a long "V". Next to it, the words "Great Programs" appears next to the TV with a trademark sign next to it. Under that are the words "TIME-LIFE VIDEO" in a faded font. A white haze surrounds the logo.

2nd logo: On a red background, the official Time logo in a white rectangle scrolls up and settles in place as the Life logo scrolls in a red rectangle. It rests in the middle as the rectangle expands to the other side of the white rectangle. The word "VIDEO" appears in sync with the music and the logo then flashes between the logo and the text in the same font as "VIDEO". It ends up on the text and then the text zooms and fades out as the first letter of each word zoom in to form the symbol in the 1st logo, taking up the whole screen.

3rd logo: Same as the Time-Life Television logo of the time, but it reads "TIME LIFE VIDEO" instead.

4th logo: On a black background, we see the current Time Life logo which almost takes up the screen with the words "VIDEO" under it, slightly smaller than the logo.

5th logo: On a blue background with a white haze on the bottom, we see the well-known Time Life logo. Next to it, we see some black and white zig-zag patterns with an outline of a TV. under that is the words "VIDEO" in a bold font lengthened to match Time-Life Video (1992-2001)with the width of the logo.

6th logo: We see many pictures scrolling up and down. Then, the pictures clear away to a square, and "TIME LIFE", with "TIME" in the Time Magazine logo font and "LIFE" in the Life Magazine logo font, scroll to us. Then the pictures in the rectangle turn red to make its presence for the Life magazine corporate logo. The word "VIDEO" appears under the Life corporate logo in a "laser" effect. At this time, a lens flare appears on the top left of "LIFE".

7th logo: On a black background, we see the Time and Life logos (with "LIFE" in it's usual red rectangular shape) flying and scrolling towards the view in different directions with red lights beaming through each other. They meet in the center as we pan out a tad bit. Then, a red lens flare brings fourth a platinum-colored border around the Time Life logo. A disclaimer then appears below.

Music/Sounds[]
