Well I also like Twentieth Century Fox logo with the drums and spotlight, and the J. Arthur Rank Presents athlete who bangs a gong (apparently made out of some plastics). Plastic? Yes, it was in a TV documentary about the Rank movies presented by Michael Caine from 1985 called "The Golden Gong". It has a thin metal shield and the athlete is holding back and is in slow-motion.

Ah so... did not know that. Thanks. Wonder if that was true going all the way back to the Thirties when Rank was formed. I'll have to check some old ones to see if the hammer guy holds back on his swing.

I always liked the old Universal logo with the airplane flying around the globe. I think I prefer Universal's logos over the other studios. Just a lot of class. I always like the odd Warner Bros. logo from the late '60s and early '70s as well.

Eftee was a short lived Australian studio of the early '30s. But they deserve a wee bit o' immortality if only for their logo:

Avco-Embassy. I especially liked the logo intro.

Gotta go with these two, both dating to the '30s: This one lasted barely ten years. Universal changed logos almost as often as they changed ownership and management. While 20th-Fox has undergone its own share of management and ownership volatility, this one and its fanfare - with modifications and upgrades over the decades - is still in use after 88 years. With the exception of CinemaScope productions in the '50s - '60s (adding the musical "CinemaScope Extension" to the fanfare), the original 1935 recording accompanying this clip remained in use into the mid-'80s.

One of the more unusual logos: Never let it be said that "Uncle Carl" was any shrinking violet. Notice how the name Carl Laemmle appears three times on one title card for 1931's Frankenstein (even if one of them referred to Junior).
