I tear up a bit with the bittersweet nostalgia of THX, Universal, Colombia, and 20th Century Fox. As a film student, all these film company logos I watched when I was very early in my childhood hold a very special place in my heart.

Opening studio logos often being more than just some industry-standard requirement was something I first noticed around 91 or 92 or whenever it was I saw Edward Scissorhands for the first time. The beautiful blue-toned 20th Century Fox logo with the snow falling around it always stayed with me and it magically set the tone for the story that was about to be told. This was a great little video essay further illustrating how this can and has worked in the past. Thumbs up.

One of my favorites is the Disney fanfare before the CINDERELLA remake. Cinderella's Castle dissolves into the opening shot of Cinderella's Castle in the movie. It's great!

The Carolco logo. The epitome of action films from the late 80s/early 90s. The one that gets me emotional just watching it was the Universal 100th Anniversary with its rousing score.

I love a good logo as much as the next moviegoer, but the one that really ticks me off lately is Marvel Studios' new 38-second-long logo. Nobody's logo needs to be on screen more than 10 seconds, 15 at most. Anything more is just keeping us from seeing the actual movie that much longer and feeds some producer's ego (in this case, Kevin Feige). Snap it up, guys-we're paying to see the movie, not your logos!
