Forum:Give me a "scary logo" and I'll explain why I'm not scared of it.

Hello. As someone who has a large interest in logos for a decade, I have stumbled across dozens of scary logos. Here's something that I'd like to express from myself: I'm not scared of logos in general. Granted, there is a very few amount of them that I resist rewatching, but let me say that the ones I find the most unnerving personally are those that are unintentionally creepy. However, there are thousands of these "scary" logos that do not, and I mean do not, make me feel uneven or disturbed whatsoever. Even I have an immunity towards bloody logos. So, like the title of this thread says, I'd like some scary logos to tear apart and discuss why I don't think they frighten me as much as other people do. |

I might be on the same page since I don't really get affected by scary logos but alright. What do you think of National Arts? |

![]() The male singer sounds monotonous, but the brief melody he sung in the third verse is rather something I found a bit satisfying about rather than creeped out about. And not to mention, this whole logo is very slow that not even the dark atmosphere can make it feel eerie. No, not even the lightning is scary because not only does it look cheap by today's standards, but their sounds aren't loud, harsh, and powerful to produce such a sudden and frightening feeling. To put it simply, the logo's scare factor is no substance and weak atmosphere that doesn't provoke anything terrifying for my tastes. I will say that like with many other Indian logos, I feel sentimental over them, including this logo, due to how the look and setting of these logos reminds me of a different place, particularly ancient times. So while this logo is not scary whatsoever, my fascination with ancient times as well as other cultures do make me somewhat like this logo personally despite the slow pace. |

Eh. There is one logo that affects me hard. Dan Curtis Productions (USA, 1973)... |

Even one who's used of the S from Hell and the V of Doom would be scared of this. Yours? |

![]() Hmm... this is a tough one to explain, but I will say that it is a little startling to me. However, that doesn't mean I am truly scared by it. I don't really care for horror soundtracks (that's not to say that I do like listening to some themes to horror media), and this logo's music is no exception. It's basically something I'd hear out of many other horror films. But then there's the close-up of that man's eyes that is the true selling point for the logo's scare factor. When I said "tough one", I mean that the close up is effective enough to make even a person who doesn't express strong emotions in real life flinch a little bit. I will say that the close-up is a rather interesting shot and a highly unusual one for an in-credits sequence. And you know what? When I appreciate how unique the scariness of something is, I would become more and more used to this rather than so scared of it that I don't want to come near it. That is where I used to be scared of the WSIB "Top Chef" PSA but rewatched it multiple times where I don't find it scary anymore. That, alongside seeing this logo appear again and again, is because I came to appreciate their effectiveness and eventually grew to personally like them. This logo is something that may make me shudder a little, but this is one of those instances where the uniqueness of something's scare factor will eventually make my personal fears of something wear off the more I got used to it. Again, fanfares don't scare me, not even loud ones. I assume that was because of the poor quality of the video. Rather, I am more creeped out by the bad film quality rather than the logo itself and since this is unintentional, it does not count. But what about the elephant itself? Choppy and stiff movements makes it seem more cheesy than uncanny. And those aggressive roars feel like stock sound effects that make me more immune of this logo's seemingly low budget despite the nice light ray burst. I would say another elephant logo has more effective roars and that was because it didn't feel unpleasant. Sounds like the elephant roars in Coliseum Films (including its variant with slightly more surprising roars) aren't unpleasant and harsh-sounding, just there. And honestly, the background effects cancel out the elephant itself more since if the elephant isn't much to write about outside of its choppy framerate, then there's mostly these neat and fairly colorful effects that are quite a sight to see. |
