AVID:Logo Urban Legends

This page covers logos that are currently lost and contain no visual proof to their existence.

CPHS-6 Extended Variant (1997-2000?)
An extended variant of the 1997 logo has been reported to exist. Several seconds after the stick figures stop dancing, the lady's hair falls out. It is unknown what program had this variant.

DTS Waterdrop (1995-late 1990s)
The sequence in this logo is currently unknown and presumed to be animated with CGI alongside live-action footage.

Originally, the logo served as an alternative to the "Stand Alone" trailer, but was recalled due to its similarities to the Imagine Entertainment logo. It has been alleged to be only seen in three theaters located in St. Louis and Albuquerque before being pulled.

MGM Television "Stylized Lion" (1976-88)
An alleged logo featuring the "Stylized Lion" used by MGM in 1968 has been alleged to appear on Pogo Special Birthday Special.

The logo has been said to feature a cream jar with a disc containing the stylized lion on the top and the company name vertically aligned to the jar's side edges and face. It begins with the jar's lid facing the screen. The last few seconds of the special's closing theme plays over before one roar closes it off. After that, the jar simultaneously falls backwards and sideways to reveal the text on the jar's side.

Among other alleged details include background drawings/decorations and the company name on the jar's edge is in the block font from the trademark on the record labels.

Oxford Films "Closet Killer" (1970s)
This is essentially an edited version of the September 1968 Paramount Television logo but with Oxford Films' notice in place of said company's. It is unknown where this logo has been alleged to appear as well as whether it has the same audio as the "Closet Killer" logo or not.

Radical Sheep Productions "Molly" Variant (1992-1999)
A variant featuring the Molly doll from The Big Comfy Couch has been alleged to appear on an unknown airing of said series. The logo plays normally until the "Baa!" sound effect, in which Molly is seen raising and spreading her head and arms respectively in the bottom right corner.

THX "People" (1990s?)
Allegedly, an undocumented THX trailer is known to exist.

It has been said to start similarly to Cimarron, with a conductor's baton, but instead of a wormhole, it shows random photographs of people (likely stills from movies) zooming in, and ends with the THX logo zooming in at a downward angle.

The only mention of this trailer online is on this webpage.

WGBH "Flash of Doom" Japanese Variant (1987)
A rare Japanese variant had appeared on a localized dub of NOVA. It consisted of a few Japanese characters in yellow on a background. Shortly afterwards, an glow expands behind the text. There is no music in this logo. It is possible that this may have not actually been a WGBH logo, but rather one for the television channel that had broadcast said dub.
