AVID:Featured Media Nominations

WGBH TV Sign Off 1973.png
Reason: This was a legendary find and I was glad that I could find it! There is no sweeper man sadly but I hope I can find that too. SquidBoxing (talk) 15:18, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Nordisk Film International Sales (2002)
Reason: didn't really expect to find this, and i didn't find any previous photo or video capture of this logo with this specific text too. vid of logo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3uvghIsZgA original sauce: https://vimeo.com/channels/trig/51910626 and also thanks to muv for helping me out getting a direct video capture for this logo. Mr. Gann (talk) 05:48, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Granada (2001)
Reason: Found by TheRealMarcel2000, which already edited the Granada Media Group page to reflect this. Azeem4Hadzrie (talk) 02:53, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

UKBgLlwdDeUtRth80CuKZw13000.jpeg.jpg
Reason: FT Depot found a previously lost Carmike trailer today. In 4k. Need I say more, other than sorry about the file name which is Prodigy's fault when he uploaded the crusty old capture that for the longest time was our only capture? AlmightyKingPrawn (talk) 15:42, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

Great find! 02:19, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

WGBH "Boxing" Ident (November 8th, 1973)
Reason: A huge closer step for the existence of the sweeper sign off (I only could find the audio of the sign off unfortunately and not the footage btw). I found this while I was searching torrents and I found the logo. Big proof that live action WGBH idents with people indeed existed. SqudSqud (talk) 13:51, 12 June 2023 (UTC)

 * 3) Interesting. VPJHuk (talk) 16:38, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Parade Video (1988)
Reason: A rare, seemingly unusual variant of the little well known Parade Video logo. I randomly call it unusual, reasonably due to the movements of the texts and such. From a *Chinese* VHS of Cal Pozo's Learn to Dance in Minutes: The Basic Lessons(?). sauce: https://archive.org/details/avseq-02_20210225

EDIT: I've got the title of the volume wrong, just corrected it. It might be "The Basic Lessons" rather than "The Latin Dances" or something. whoops.

File:Orion Pictures (RARE German variant, 1983-1987).jpg
Reason: Another localisation variant.. though this one is far different than most that I've seen, namely the fact that this is actually a new logo technically! The logo zooms in somewhat cheaply, which isn't present in ANY Orion logo whatsoever. And with that, here's why I believe this should be featured. It's simply another unique translation.

Reason: Thats right, Chile had Front Row Joe intros until 2012! I was able to find 7 of these in total and they will all be uploaded to YouTube in the near future (one of them has already been hiding there for years, and the other ones I will upload are in the depths of Vimeo). All of them end with this. In my hunt for the lost 2012 Cinemark "Dog and Projector" policy I couldn't find it, but I found basically EVERYTHING ELSE, so stay tuned for more Cinemark finds.
