It gets better in motion (although, honestly, the fact that Kill Bill Vol. 1 was part of the promo might be making me reach for good things to say), but as far as the logos themselves, I think there's a lot of wasted potential, especially with those slab serifs.

This totally falls under that category of "they should have just done that one all along"...

It's the second week of December
Seems like as good a time as any to start making our guesses about Brand New's Best and Worst of 2013

Alright, having gone back through the last few pages of this thread, here are my guesses (in no particular order):
Former ISN president Randolf Menzel commissioned the ISN logo in the late 1980s. He wrote, “The idea I had in mind when I talked to the graphics person was to illustrate in an abstract form the concentric shells of different levels in neural systems (from neurons to cognition), the input-output relationships with the external world, and the communication between such abstract subjects in the ‘universe.’”
this is the log of the international society for neuroethology. it looks sketchy to me. criticize
"neuroethology" is a branch of science that seeks to understand the neural basis of natural animal behavior.

Oh wow, one of the episodes of Father Knows Best I recorded off of Antenna TV had the Columbia TriStar Television Distribution at the end. You hardly ever see that anymore, and it was everywhere before 2002.
Also, the DVR sometimes catches the end of Bachelor Father, and so I have at least two copies of the long 1960 Revue Studios logo. :D
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
Reminds me of the time back in like 1998 when I saw something on UPN (I want it was one of those cheesy high school shows) prefaced by a Saban International logo...

I can't believe he put JCPenney higher than Yahoo!. Sure, JCPenney needs to get their shit together (part of me, depressingly, doesn't expect the brand to survive much longer without a miracle turnaround), but Yahoo!'s bevel on that logo is unforgivable.

Two things push Yahoo! over the edge for me:
1. That stupid bevel effect. Not only is it cheesy and unnecessary, but it's not even well-executed, because the lettering is so thin that the bevel is hard to make out at the sizes the logo tends to be rendered at.
2. The "30 days" publicity stunt, which was a cute idea, but ultimately ended up showcasing many nicer logos than the one they ended up going with!
And that plastering mistake where the 1986 Universal Television theme plays over the 2004 logo is much creepier when you're watching it on a 24-inch HDTV. :P
"Yeah, it's an old sewing pattern, so what?" Note the "NORTON SIMON INC" logo next to the McCall's header...I've been looking for a picture of it for years. :D

Oh wow, this episode of Thriller had the then-current "PRODUCED IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE NBC-TV NETWORK" trailer on it! (This one was from 1961, before The Snake.)

i get so angry sometimes i just punch plankton --Klinotaxis
The logo is pretty much Marissa Mayer's only mistake so far, but hell if it isn't a big one as far as branding is concerned.
Except lighter
although I don't think they did the same for the TV division
