Paramount Television (1993/1995) #1 ClosingLogosHD 2024-06-22 | From most episodes of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" on DVD.By the power of Viacom, we have an updated mountain in use on most episodes. Visually, the logo was updated to the 1995 logo, however I believe the logo audio is intact. Now you might be wondering why would the audio be updated if the fanfare is the same? Well that's why there is a "#2" video.
Paramount Television (1993) ClosingLogosHD 2024-06-22 | From early episodes of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine".On VOD releases where the pilot episode is split into 2 parts, this Paramount logo is left intact on both parts.
Paramount Television (1993/1995) #2 ClosingLogosHD 2024-06-22 | From VOD releases of many episodes of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine".The same visual plaster from before is present, but it's clear that unlike last time, the audio was updated. If you remember when I covered Frasier on DVD, you may recognize that this is the same logo and fanfare that was used on season 1 episodes.
Earth Creatures/Maryland Public Television/CINAR (1999/2000) #3 ClosingLogosHD 2024-06-17 | From current U.S. releases of later season 1 episodes of "Zoboomafoo".This was taken from the PBS Retro FAST Channel. When they plastered the CINAR logo on later episodes, it appears they also transferred these episodes to a tape format, hence the updated CINAR logo having dot-crawl (the "Joke from Zoboomafoo" segments also now have dot-crawl present as well). The are 3 sets of logos in this video. These sets of logos highlight how the quality has improved towards the end of the season.
Rattlesnake Productions/Synthetic Worlds/Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution (1993) ClosingLogosHD 2024-06-17 | From "HD" releases of "Babylon 5: The Gathering" (1993).This comes from the Blu-ray release of the complete Babylon 5 series. Upscaled and presented in a 16:9 aspect ratio. It's actually surprising to see the older WBTV logo left intact.
Earth Creatures/Maryland Public Television/CINAR (1999/2000) #2 ClosingLogosHD 2024-06-17 | From current U.S. releases of some season 1 episodes of "Zoboomafoo".This was taken from the PBS Retro FAST Channel. Same as the "#1" video, except the brightness of the logos (and the episode itself) are normal.
Earth Creatures/Maryland Public Television/CINAR (1999/2000) #1 ClosingLogosHD 2024-06-13 | From current U.S. releases of many season 1 episodes of "Zoboomafoo".These 2 sets of logos were taken from the PBS Retro FAST Channel. Sometime around 2003-2004, the CINAR logo that was originally seen on season 1 episodes was plastered with the CINAR logo seen on season 2. The episodes these 2 sets of logos were taken from are episodes 1 & 4, with the only difference being how long the CINAR logo appears on screen. The CINAR logos is presented in better (and sharper) quality when compared to the rest of the respective episodes. And yet, the CINAR logos also appear darkened, which implies that the visual darkening of the episodes was done after the plastering was done.
Earth Creatures/Maryland Public Television/CINAR (1999) #2 ClosingLogosHD 2024-06-13 | From current U.S. releases of "Zoboomafoo" season 1 episode 3.This was taken from the PBS Retro FAST Channel. Much like the "#1" video, the original CINAR logo originally seen on season 1 is left intact. The difference with this video is the brightness of the logos (and the episode itself), which appear to be closer to normal.
Earth Creatures/Maryland Public Television/CINAR (1999) #1 ClosingLogosHD 2024-06-13 | From current U.S. releases of some of the earliest episodes of "Zoboomafoo".These 2 sets of logos were taken from the PBS Retro FAST Channel. Sometime around 2003-2004, the CINAR logo that was originally seen on season 1 episodes was plastered with the CINAR logo seen on season 2. However on episodes 2 - 4, the original CINAR logo is left intact. The episodes these 2 sets of logos were taken from are episodes 2 & 4, with the only difference being how long the CINAR logo appears on screen. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the visual quality of the master tapes used for broadcast also became worse around that time. For instance, I'm rather certain the episodes & logos weren't always this dark. With that said, the visual quality of the "Joke from Zoboomafoo" segments are fine, aside from the aforementioned darkening. The quality issues appear to affect the first half of season 1 more so while many episodes from the second half don't look quite as bad.
Gary Nardino Productions Inc./Lorimar Television/Warner Bros. Television Distribution (1993) ClosingLogosHD 2024-06-09 | From the Warner Archive DVD release of "Time Trax" season 1.This was one of the last TV shows to be produced by Lorimar Television. Warner Bros. Television took over production for the 2nd season.

Gary Nardino Productions Inc./Warner Bros. Television (1994) ClosingLogosHD 2024-06-09 | From the Warner Archive DVD release of "Time Trax" season 2.This was one of the last TV shows to be produced by Lorimar Television. Warner Bros. Television replaced Lorimar Television as a producer for the 2nd season (due to Lorimar TV being folded into Warner Bros. TV).
HIT Entertainment/CPTV Connecticut/PBS Kids (2007) ClosingLogosHD 2024-06-06 | From "Thomas & Friends" series 11 on the PBS Retro FAST Channel.As of this upload, only 1 episode from series 11 has aired. The in-credit 2007 HIT Entertainment logo is used. This is different to how it was presented on PBS back in the day (the animated 2007 HIT logo was used and the copyright info was placed at the end of the credits). The PBS Kids logo cutoff seen here is how it was presented on the FAST Channel. Series 11 was the last series to originally be presented by CPTV Connecticut (with later reruns plastering the CPTV logo with the 2006 WNET logo), so if series 12 ever airs on the FAST Channel, the 2006 WNET logo should theoretically be seen. Like the other Thomas & Friends uploads from the PBS Retro FAST Channel, the aspect ratio has been corrected for this video.

Universal Pictures/NRA/A Paramount Picture (1997/1933) ClosingLogosHD 2024-06-06 | From the 2020 Kino Lorber Blu-ray release of "Alice In Wonderland" (1933).This is seen at the beginning of the film. Normally, when you hear the name "Alice in Wonderland" you probably think of the 1951 film or the 2010 film, both made by Disney, rather than this 1933 film. Given the usage of the 1997 Universal logo,

Paramount Television (1987/1995) #3 ClosingLogosHD 2024-05-29 | From various episodes of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" on DVD.Sometimes, the still SD version of the 1995 Paramount logo is used. There are 2 logos in this video, due to the Paramount logo not fading out on some episodes.
Paramount Television (1987/1995) #2 ClosingLogosHD 2024-05-29 | From various episodes of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" season 1 on DVD.On some season 1 episodes, a different mix of the Paramount fanfare is heard. This mix is often used with the 4:3 HD version of the 1995 Paramount logo on shows such as HD releases of Cheers, HD releases of The Love Boat, Charmed, etc... I assume this audio mix plasters the original mix. Also, there are 2 logos in this video, due to the Paramount logo fading in on at least 1 episode.

This mix is often used with the 4:3 HD version of the 1995 Paramount logo on shows such as HD releases of Cheers, HD releases of The Love Boat, Charmed, etc... Early 2000s DVD releases of Star Trek: The Original Series also used this fanfare mix along with the still SD version of the 1995 Paramount logo (albeit, with a darker version of the logo). Also, there are 2 logos in this video, due to the Paramount logo not fading out on at least 1 episode.

The Starfield Indie logo plasters the Danforth Studios logo seen originally (Starfield Indie is basically the successor to Danforth Studios).

Warner Bros. Pictures/FilmRise (2003/2018) ClosingLogosHD 2024-05-17 | From FilmRise-distributed releases of "Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie" (2003).Depending on where you live, you will see the FilmRise logo at the end of the movie. Presumably, as a result of WB not distributing this release, the opening WB logo replaces the ending WB logo.

Warner Bros. Pictures (2003) ClosingLogosHD 2024-05-17 | From "Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie" (2003).This is seen at the end of the movie. It's interesting to note that this is one of the only times where the end 2001 WB logo is seen as a digital graphic (and not a film-out) with a color variation. The cloud positioning is more reminiscent of the 2001 WBTV logo, yet the detail level is much more closer to that of the end 2003 WB logo.

Mandalay Television/Lions Gate/Columbia TriStar Domestic Television/Sony Pictures Television (2002) ClosingLogosHD 2024-05-13 | From current VOD releases of the 2002 TV movie "First Shot".The last time I uploaded logos from this TV movie, it was from an SD print used on Crackle. That release was presented in 4:3 and had open matte versions of the Mandalay and CTTD logos. Here, the movie is presented in 16:9 HD, with the Mandalay logo cropped to 16:9 and the CTDT logo plastering the CTTD logo.

What's interesting to note is that the PBS broadcasts back in the day used the normal animated HIT Entertainment logo with copyright info added below on at least some episodes from series 9. It remains to be seen if any episodes that air on the PBS Retro FAST Channel will have that variation of the HIT logo, though I predict none of them will. Like before, the aspect ratio has been corrected for this video.

Vertigo Entertainment/Odd Man Out/Amazon Studios/Sony Pictures Television (2024) ClosingLogosHD 2024-05-01 | From "Them" season 2.The Hillman Grad logo is removed and the SPT identity crisis continues. Now we have yet another new animated version of the SPT logo. Interestingly, they've brought back the reflection in the bottom right corner. It's worth noting that the logo itself appears to zoom out while the animation is playing. Also, due to the logo being animated in 16:9 while this show is produced in an ultrawide aspect ratio, the logo is mirrored on the left and right sides. It's safe to assume that on shows produced in 16:9, the mirrored parts would not be seen.
Original Film/SEGA/Paramount Pictures/Paramount+ (2024) ClosingLogosHD 2024-05-01 | From the Paramount+ original miniseries "Knuckles".It's actually amazing to see how successful the Sonic movie franchise has become, given how it started with that horrific Sonic design from the first trailer 5 years ago.
Vertigo Ent./Hillman Grad Prods./Odd Man Out/Amazon Studios/Sony Pictures Television Studios (2021) ClosingLogosHD 2024-05-01 | From "Them" season 1.Remember Sony Pictures Television Studios? Given how they've since switched back to the SPT parallelogram logo we're all familiar with, it makes you wonder what they were aiming to accomplish by using this simplified logo.
HIT Entertainment/CPTV/PBS Kids (2004) ClosingLogosHD 2024-04-28 | From "Thomas & Friends" series 8 on the PBS Retro FAST Channel on The Roku Channel.There is so much to unpack regarding the appearance of this show on the PBS Retro FAST Channel. Let's start with the fact that this is the only show on the channel to be presented in a more narrow aspect ratio. The reason why the aspect ratio is different is because it is taken from a PAL master (with the aspect ratio not being adjusted accordingly). I've adjusted the aspect ratio for this video, so what you're seeing in this video is how it should've been presented on the channel. The usage of a PAL master makes since when you consider where the show was produced, however this also means that this master was likely never meant to be broadcast in the U.S. as is.Next, let's talk about this unusual CPTV logo. I'm not sure if this particular CPTV logo was ever used when the show originally aired on PBS in 2004. From what I can gather, both the HIT and CPTV logos were different when this first aired in 2004. It's possible this was a placeholder, and was never meant to appear anywhere.Next, it's worth mentioning, this is the only show on the channel that contains a PBS Kids logo at the end. When this originally aired in 2004, this PBS Kids logo was used.Last, I want to talk about what could possibly happen for future seasons on the channel. If they continue to use PBS masters (which I assume this is), then there are a few possibilities to what logo(s) may appear. It's possible this CPTV logo could continue to be used. It's also possible the more familiar CPTV logo could appear instead. And it's also possible the CPTV logo will be plastered with the 2006 WNET logo (with the HIT logo being plastered with the 2007 logo), which is what happened on this show (and other HIT Entertainment shows on PBS) starting in 2009.
PBS (1971/2024) #2 ClosingLogosHD 2024-04-28 | Seen on the PBS Retro FAST Channel on The Roku Channel.At the start of every show, the 1971 PBS logo appears, which makes since given that it is a retro channel. I do which they used a better quality copy of the logo. On Thomas & Friends, the logo is presented in a more narrow aspect ratio (essentially a result of PAL video not having the aspect ratio adjusted to 4:3). I've fixed this issue for this video and as a result, the logo is properly presented in a 4:3 aspect ratio.
PBS (1971/2024) #1 ClosingLogosHD 2024-04-28 | Seen on the PBS Retro FAST Channel on The Roku Channel.At the start of every show, the 1971 PBS logo appears, which makes since given that it is a retro channel. I do which they used a better quality copy of the logo. On all but 1 show, the logo is edited to 16:9 widescreen.
Paragon Entertainment Corporation/Earth Creatures/Maryland Public Television (1996) ClosingLogosHD 2024-04-28 | From "Kratts' Creatures" on the PBS Retro FAST Channel on The Roku Channel.I want to start by saying that I love the idea of a streaming channel for classic PBS Kids shows, and I hope to see more shows added over time. With that out of the way, let's talk about the video itself. There are 2 sets of logos in the video, with the only notable difference being the appearance of the Earth Creatures logo.
