movie studio logos that make you sure you're in for a good time

an irrational reaction, I know - even the best have plenty of clunkers, but there are a fair few where just seeing them at the start of a film makes me feel like I'm in good hands.

70's Toei:

70's/80's Golden Harvest:

30's Warner Brothers:

What've you got?

Shaw Brothers

RKO maybe?

Some very good examples here.

Cheating already but few of the actual featured presentations ever lived up to the thrill of the '80s HBO Feature Presentation opening.

This is based on a tiny percentage of their output, but I get good vibes when I see Oscilloscope.

i somehow hadn't seen the cocinor one... not sure if this thread is logos that appear on good films or just logos people like. the logo rabbit hole is one of those weird ones, a lot of overlap with the "lost media wiki" culture, which is entirely different from the "where are the missing episodes of doctor who" lost media culture

I started it to be "logos that make you believe the film coming up is going to be good", which is not quite the same as "logos that appear on good films". But we can go wherever the fancy takes.

Forgot all about this one, which seems somehow super incongruous

Yeah, I've been second-guessing all my potential picks because I could tell this was gonna be one of those threads where some people were gonna go one way and some people another way.

I will say that, as a kid in the late 80s early 90s, I always took the Orion Pictures logo as a good omen.

idk about “good time” and i’m lazy so not gonna go to the trouble of posting a video but the old universal pictures logo with the plane makes me happy

do we have room for film distributors logos that make sure you're in for a good time?
