5 Stories Behind Famous Hollywood Studios Logos!
Ойын-сауық
If you are a fan of films, then you must have seen some logos that have left you wondering, ‘What’s the story behind that?’ Let me refresh your memory: the boy on the moon in the DreamWorks logo, the mountain in the Paramount logo and the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer lion. You’re wondering comes to an end today. At Top 5’s finest, we delve into these 5 Stories Behind Famous Hollywood Studio Logos! Ready? Well, lets begin!
1. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer: Leo The Lion
Leo the lion on MGM has come a long way to be who we know him today. He was designed in 1924 for Samuel Goldwyn’s Picture Corporation in 1924. When Goldwyn merged with Metro Pictures Corporation and Louis B. Mayer pictures, the newly formed MGM retained the logo. The first Lion, Slats, graced the opening of MGM’s silent films in 1924 to 1958. Jackie was the next MGM lion and his growl-roar-growl sequence as played over the phonograph could be heard by the audience. He was also the first lion to appear in Technicolor in 1932. Tanner was the next lion, and was probably the most famous lion of MGM. And that... is all she wrote.
2. DreamWorks: Boy on the Moon
Let’s start with what that SKG at the bottom of the DreamWorks logo means. In 1994, Steven Spielberg, Disney Studio chairman, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and record producer, David Geffen, got together to find a new studio called DreamWorks. There was a lot of push and pull between the three before the logo currently used was settled on. Spielberg wanted the logo for DreamWorks to be reminiscent of Hollywood’s golden age. The logo was to be a computer-generated image of a man in the moon fishing. Dennis Muren, the Visual Effects Supervisor of Industrial Light and Magic who had worked with Spielberg on many of his films suggested a hand-painted logo. Robert Hunt, which is Muren’s friend would paint the logo. Hunt then sent an alternative version of the logo that showed a boy on a crescent moon fishing. And that is now the logo that you see in all Dreamworks films.
3. 20th Century Fox: The Searchlight Logo
The 20th Century Fox Film Corporation came about in 1935 when Twentieth Century Pictures and Fox Film company merged. Landscape artist, Emil Kosa Jr., is credited with creating the original twentieth century pictures. If you are wondering who Kosa was, he was famous for his matte painting for the statue of Liberty that is showed at the end of the 1968 movie, Planet of the Ape and many other films. After the merger, Kosa replaced ‘Pictures Inc.’ with Fox to make the current logo. Neat huh?
4. Paramount: The Majestic Mountain
The Paramount Majestic Mountains logo was first drawn as a doodle by W.W. Hodkinson during a meeting with Adolph Zukor, who was one of the founders of Famous Players FAILM Company that eventually became paramount. It was based on the Ben Lomond Mountain from his childhood in Utah. The first logo was used in 1914 and it is now the oldest surviving logo in Hollywood. The original logo has 24 stars which symbolized paramount’s then 25 contracted movies stars. It’s now 22 stars. It beats me why those stars were reduced though.... Im guessing that it’s a tough business out there.
5. Warner Bros.: The WB Shield
Warner Bros. has had quite some history. And yes, it is legally Bros. not brothers. It went through 11 logos for it to settle on the one currently in use. The company was started by four Jewish brothers who emigrated from Poland: Harry, Albert, Sam and Jack Warner. At the start, Warner Bros. had trouble attracting top talent. In 1925, after Sam’s urging, Warner Bros. made the first feature-length “talking pictures”. Harry famously said, “Who the hell wants to hear actors talk?” and that got the ball rolling for the studio to make Warner Bro’s famous.

If you were going to use the picture of the lion strapped, you could've at least explained that that was not the MGM lion, but a lion at a vet's office and that the MGM logo setup was photoshopped.

The original Paramount pictures logo was depicted as a doodle on a piece of paper was fascinating. There are other mountains that claimed to fame that were live action versions. Peru's Artesonraju is the live action mountain version we see from 1986-2011.

1:33 The guy says, “the logo had 24 stars to symbolize their 25 employees at the time” and I’m just going to believe that made sense.
I'm Warner Bros. fan because I love the gold and blue!😄 There's Looney Tunes, DC, LEGO, Scooby-Doo, The Flintstones, Harry Potter and Tom & Jerry.
wow I actually liked this one. and that's amazing. and I was not even trying to find a good one!
Fun Fact: Did you know that the lion roar there is actually a tiger roar, they said that the lions roar is not as majestic or ferocious so they used a tiger roar in background and put the lion on screen to make it seem like a lion roar.
I gotta say that your video now has me with more questions than I originally had...
now i understand,tnx for mking this vids,this is so helpful😆
As far as I remember I had read that Spielberg logo idea for Dreamworks logo was originally from Michael Jackson NeverLand Valley ranch logo.
Thanx for all these awesome information especially the Tom and Jerry lion

What about Jerry Bruckheimer? It has a nice and eye-catching Studio Logo as well.
Some of you people saying about the MGM strapped lion that “it’s real,” well guess what? _(It’s fake, and that lion is NOT Leo the lion, how?… it’s a lion who named “Samson” which, the thing is. he felt ill at an Israel zoo, way back in 2005 (“two-thousand five”), and that there is _*_photoshopped_*_ honestly… and this image with an MGM overlay is made in 2015 (twenty-fifteen, or two-thousand fifteen, whatever it is spelled.))_
when i furst,(pun intended) saw the lion laying there helpless in the last picture i thought the lion was forest(pun intended) to do it
