I'll start first.
Any others you guys have? |

As for individual logos, beginning with what I think are overrated:
Now for the rest:
I am intrigued by the premise of this thread, and also have more unpopular opinions to express, so I'll return for more. |

I think the Toppic Video logo (y'know, the screaming one) is more funny than scary to me. |

I'm not particularly in the loop with what is and isn't popular within the logo community right now. I've never been crazy involved in the social aspects of the scene, and I still wouldn't consider myself active in those respects. I will say that I think the logo community at-large is much more interested in seeing the newest logo reveals from all the major studios and production firms, instead of cherishing older logos. I'm not making this point as a slight towards the massive archive engines that are channels like Broken Saw, but a lot of interesting finds kind of get themselves buried under the eighteenth capture of a specific logo combination from some TV show no one will remember 3 years from now. I'm not saying that archiving these things are not important, I'm simply trying to say that there are plenty of interesting things to find that aren't brand new. Another "unpopular" opinion (I guess) is that AVID as a database skews towards more modern production labels and companies. I think this is relatively par for the course, since it is much easier to find modern logos (they're just about everywhere) as opposed to older fare, but it definitely seems like the further you go back, the patchier AVID's coverage gets. |

Gonna put some more unpopular opinions here.

Unpopular opinion, CBSTVD, SPT and the likes of "overplastering" are underrated and bashed way too much. A lot of them are really good logos designed fluently and they don't deserve the hate they got back in the day and to some extent, now. |

All I could think of is that they're toxic. |

The UNC-TV 1971 logo is a chill logo. I love it's music and scanimation. |

I have another unpopular opinion that I'm surprised I didn't address previously The 1994 WBTV Theme sounds nothing like Merrily We Roll Along to me. Warner Bros. Family Entertainment has Merrily in the exact same pitch as the WBTV logo and it clearly sounds more like it. |

Here are mines: 1. I actually like the Arman Julian Productions logo, I don’t find it scary. 2. I don’t mind the first Camp Video logo, I find it pretty cool. |

Apologies for a VERY long hibernation, but here are my logo opinions: 1: I (like so many of you) favour the old Fuzzy Door Productions logo more than the new one. I might get one of my artist friends to edit the current one… 2: Wonk Inc.’s logo might be scary, so I’m keeping it under a radar for now. 3: Logos like Babyhemyth, Helltrap Nightmare, Heel & Toe and Millar Gough Ink fall under “funny” more than “scary” (though the last one sometimes does…). 4: Jenny Kissed Me and Sutton Street Productions make me REALLy uncomfortable…5: The scientist guy we hear in Mastermind Laboratories might not be saying “it works!” I rewatched the logo a bunch of times before writing this down, and although muffled by the additional sounds, he could also be saying “Edward!” (who I presume is his colleague or something), or “it was!” (what was?) What do YOU think guys? 6: I still can’t for the life of me comprehend what sings and coughs in the Acme Productions logo. I can tell it’s something tiny, like a flea or something. 7: I don’t think the island on the Zihuatanejo Productions logo looks anything like the real Zihuatanejo. And 8: Anyone understand what that woman on the 2 Out Rally logo is saying? “Puppies”? |

While I don't really care about the Scary Logo side of the Logo Community because I see it as entirely dead nowadays but I think Patya69's Top 1500 Scariest Logos aged pretty bad and which let to awful more low effort copycats of the list. |

That TAT pointer is so right! I mean I am at fault for trying to exclusively find Disney bumpers, but there's a lot of very neat things other than that ONE TAT LOGO. For example, we need to start adding those availability tables everywhere. The process has been slow, and it really shouldn't be. Second, we shouldn't group things by "Primary" and "Secondary". Secondary has a negative connotation, like its not as good as primary identity. A good idea would be "Production Branding" and "Bumper branding". Misc. would stay as is. We need a UI refresh. We have kept the same type of UI for about 10-15 years. The only issue is what to change it to. Thanks for listening to a few of my ideas. |

Ah makes sense. We don't have that hybrid of FANDOM and the sidebar, I feel like if it wasn't for MediaWiki limitations, we could move a few things around as a beta test, like the RfCs to the far top of the site where the banner is, and maybe move the notifications to a proposed myAVID page, but I would detail it and make a sketch in a week or so. Remind me that time. I might do it earlier but IDK.

"Logo kids" is a moronic term shouldn't exist. Let people be who they are. We all were kids in the past too so that term also contradicts things anyway. I am so happy to see people tired of the stupid "logo kids" term. Just because a little kid on the internet made a poorly done remake does NOT mean they are a terrible person. |

The Scary Logos seem like utter bullshit to me. With the exception of VID and THX, the others seem scary to me because people are cowardice. I mean, an approaching V, a spiral S forming with elevator music, and a low-budget ink face that makes you laugh at how tacky it is, that, THAT is what terrifies many people. we are lost |

Let’s be honest, Great Ovation is your enemy when you are a kid. Scary logos are a kid thing, I’m serious! |

welp 1. small american film production companies are underrated. i'm not telling people to love them or smth like that, but at least shine a spotlight on them a bit 2. the Frecuencia Latina "Cambios" id is not THAT bad. the animation's quite good (it even looks fitting for the late 1990s), despite the ugly choice of the fonts for the text, and the music slaps hard. hell, that's a decent id for the name change, after all. 3. as camenati said, some of the greek/argentine/uk/etc. logos with popular music and analog computer effects are actually pretty decent. |
