The Logo Corner: United Artists (Episode 8) YBF91 2017-01-19 | A new year, a new logo to tackle!See if you can spot the errors in the video! I made plenty because I am working with a new editing platform. W H O O P S!Welcome to episode 8 of the Logo Corner. Today we are going to discuss MGM's counterpart, United Artists. The history of United Artists is an extended fugue of events, all involving conflict, turbulence, and Hollywood drama. The logos, however, are even more fascinating. From the hexagon to the paperclip and swoosh, United Artists' logos evolved in a rather interesting fashion. Join me in this sojourn into the world of United Artists, the T of Wonder, and magnates stealing film and television libraries.Thanks for your patience, everyone. Hope you all enjoy the new format and the new editing platform!------------------------------------------------------------Links to relevant websites:Don Ervin and the Transamerica T - http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/05/05/graphic-content-a-logo-legend/?_r=0Logopedia Page for UA - http://logos.wikia.com/wiki/United_Artists/OtherCLG Wiki - http://www.closinglogos.com/page/United+Artists+PicturesLogo Variations for UA - google.com/#safe=off&q=logo+variants+united+artistsWikipedia Page on UA - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_ArtistsUA Restructuring - http://money.cnn.com/1999/06/07/bizbuzz/mgmMGM Gains Full Control of UA - http://articles.latimes.com/2012/mar/23/business/la-fi-ct-mgm-quarter-20120323History of UA - http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/united-artists-createdMore History of UA - theguardian.com/film/2008/feb/23/film----------------------------------NEW GOFUNDME: gofundme.com/baileys-move-to-the-east-coastFollow me on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/LogoCornerTigerCheck me out on Vid.me: http://www.vid.me/YBF91

The Logo Corner: Columbia Pictures, Inc. (Episode 6) YBF91 2016-02-02 | A long time coming. I hope you enjoy this latest episode. Happy Groundhog Day!The usual excuses apply to this episode's lateness. But, I will make it a point to create more of these episodes over the rest of 2016. I want to make this a long-lasting series if I can help it. Luckily for all of you there will be plenty of logos to cover. We have yet to talk about all the television logos, for god's sake!In this episode, we peer into the interesting history of Columbia Pictures, and its associated logo. The logo may have remained almost constant throughout its history, but its subtle changes are certainly something to behold. From its humble beginnings with dated moire effects, to its more ambitious days with the sunburst, and to its iconic status with the majestic modern variant, this logo certainly has a distinctive edge to it. It is quite possibly one of my favorite logos of all time. Perhaps I should make a list...? Let me know!Thanks for watching this episode, and thanks for celebrating one year of The Logo Corner with me! Here's to another year of its success! Your support is duly appreciated!All video and audio credits are mentioned in the video.Website credits:http://www.listal.com/list/history-columbia-logohttp://www.closinglogos.com/page/Columbia+Pictureshttp://logos.wikia.com/wiki/Columbia_Pictures/Otherhttp://www.michaeldeas.com/Columbia_Pictures_Logo.htmhttp://www.synthespianstudios.net/design/columbiaen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_Pictures#Logohttp://web.archive.org/web/20080201003950/http://www.reelclassics.com/Studios/Columbia/columbia-article-logo.htmhttp://hollywoodlostandfound.net/stories/studiologos/page7.htmlhttp://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20095603,00.htmlDISCLAIMER:THE COPYRIGHT ACT OF 1976 ALLOWS ME TO USE CONTENT FOR THE SAKE OF CRITICISM, NEWS REPORTING, EDUCATION, AND OTHER PARTICULAR PURPOSES.

The Logo Corner: Universal Pictures, Inc. (Episode 5) YBF91 2015-08-28 | Sorry for how belated the episode is. I suffered major technological failures the past three weeks. As such as I was unable to edit or make any changes to the video. However, ostensibly, I was able to get my computer and charger repaired. The Logo Corner will go on!You'll note that the fonts of some of the dates will appear inconsistent. Sorry about it. I had to import the original video file into a new version of Vegas that I recently acquired. This messed with the fonts, but I tried to patch up as much as I could.This episode centers on the distinctive logo of Universal Pictures, Inc., which consists of...well...the earth in its entirety. It's definitely a straightforward logo. However, the history of the company itself is not so simple. Tune in to hear about the corporate changing of hands, and the struggles Universal faced before becoming a full-blown A-list movie company that permeated the hearts and minds of millions of viewers with classics such as E.T., Fast and Furious, The Land Before Time, and many others.Enjoy, thanks for watching, and keep on logo-ing!SOURCES:Major Film Studios - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_film_studio#1990s.E2.80.93presentCLG Wiki - List of Universal Studios Variants - http://www.closinglogos.com/page/Logo+Variations+-+Universal+PicturesTime Article - http://entertainment.time.com/2012/09/24/mountain-to-moon-10-movie-studio-logos-and-the-stories-behind-them/slide/universalMy Film Views - Universal Logo - http://www.myfilmviews.com/2012/02/16/the-story-behind-the-universal-pictures-logoIndependent Moving Pictures - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_Moving_PicturesCLG Wiki - International Pictures Corporation - http://www.closinglogos.com/page/International+Pictures+Corporation - http://www.closinglogos.com/page/International+Pictures+CorporationMain CLG Wiki Article - http://www.closinglogos.com/page/Universal+PicturesMain Universal Pictures Article - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Studio
The Logo Corner: Warner Bros. Entertainment, Inc. (Episode 4) YBF91 2015-05-30 | After two months of planning, scripting, editing, more planning, more re-editing, recording, more re-recording, rendering, re-rendering, downloading software, and re-re-rendering, I decided that Sony Vegas and uploading to YouTube is unnecessarily tedious and I may need to purchase some new editing software.More importantly, you are all ready to witness and sit through this behemoth of a video. Welcome to the fourth episode of The Logo Corner, perhaps the longest I have created yet.This episode covers the logo evolution of Warner Bros, a company that has a rich history both in filmography and American animation. I spend more time discussing the film aspect, and I may reserve another Logo Corner episode specifically for Warner Bros' animation department.The history of this logo is ultimately complex and byzantine, but it's perhaps one of the most interesting and enduring ones (at least from my research anyways). Because I have compressed this episode to one part, it might be a bit overwhelming, but I believe I have enough dedicated viewers.Enjoy this episode! Keep on logo-ing (that's a word now).Thank you for watching and please comment.SOURCES:CLG Wiki - http://www.closinglogos.com/page/Warner+Bros.+PicturesMy Film Views - http://www.myfilmviews.com/2012/02/09/the-story-behind-the-warner-bros-logoLogopedia - http://logos.wikia.com/wiki/Warner_Bros._PicturesWarner Bros.

And what a behemoth of an episode it is. This episode revolves around everyone's favorite movie lion, Leo, and his participation in the logo of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Films, Inc.Because Sony Vegas kept quitting in the middle of rendering this monster, I had to split the video in three parts. That also means there's no "Cutoff Point" screen, so the videos may end awkwardly. I apologize for that, but I'd rather a chopped series of videos than ones that do not render properly. In addition, I make several errors in this series of videos. I mention how George (the sixth MGM lion) debuted in 1956, though while the text shows that, I say he comes into the logo in 1953, which is not true. I blame society.This is part 3 of the episode. Hope you enjoy. Thanks for watching this quirky series. Hopefully I'll be able to make some more episodes!

The Logo Corner: 20th Century Fox Film Corporation (Episode 1) YBF91 2015-01-23 | MAJOR CORRECTION:The fourth variant of the CGI is Variant IV (1994-2009). The dates and Roman numeral are wrong. All apologies.Welcome to the inaugural episode of The Logo Corner! In this episode I go into extreme detail about the 20th Century Fox Film Corporation logo and discuss its intricate history. The roots of the logo can be traced to two companies, which I will discuss in this video.There are also many sub-variants of the logo that I did not bother to outline (for instance, in the 2010s versions of the logo, there are times where the phrase "A News Corporation Company" is etched in the foundation of the statue, whereas on other occasions it is not), and there is also the CinemaScope 55 and Grandeur 70 versions of the widescreen logo. However, I believe covering the major variants would be more relevant to the video. You all can look up these minor variants in the links below.If you think I did not outline a specific and important 20th Century Fox variant, let me know in the comments. I wish to make this series as informative and comprehensive as possible, so feel free to tell me what is good and what is not so good about the video.In addition, if you look closely at later versions of the logo, you can see the "Hollywood" sign in the background. Another Easter egg for your visual pleasure!Thanks for your interest and attention, and I hope to catch you all in later installments of the series. I'll see you all on the brighter later.

The Logo Corner: An Introduction YBF91 2015-01-19 | This marks the beginning of a new series that hopefully will have some longevity on this channel. This series discusses production logos, closing logos, and vanity plates. Specifically, we will explore both the iconic and the surreal, the well-known and the ghastly, and the immortal and the unbearable. Well, maybe it won't be as dramatic.This video will serve as a primer for the Logo Corner videos and allow you all to understand the premise and process of each video in question. Hopefully you all will indulge and enjoy the logos offered here. Thanks for taking the time to watch this.
