Big Giant Head

(February 23, 2017)


Nicknames: "The PBS Parody"

Logo: On a black background, we see the letter "B" zooms out, as two dots appear and the half trapezoid inside, and the word "BIG" appears. They both move left, and the green circle appears and forms the letter "G" as the word "GIANT" appears, and finally, a square rectangle appears with the other half trapezoid, and it forms the letter "H" and the word "HEAD" appears as well.

Technique: The words and the letters, PBS-style. Clean animation.

Music/Sounds: PBS's original music, with more modern synth music overlapping it. The logo's jingle sounds almost exactly like the three-note chime from the second Educational Film Center logo.

Availability: Seen on the TV version of My Brother, My Brother and Me.

Legacy: It can bother those who are/were scared of the 1971 PBS logo, but it's an interesting spin on the company's identity of the time.
