10 . ) Time Life ’s Mysteries of the unnamed commercials
We ’re starting with something that does n’t exactly fit our criteria but was ways chilling than Zoobooks . As commenter Jsn.wrt note :
Not a logo , but definitely a in effect example of creepy promotional material : Around 1988 , there was a series of commercial message for Time Life Books ’ “ secret of the Unknown ” . I could n’t sit down through an intact commercial message when I was a kid .

Agreed , dear reader — that was an remarkably jarring advertising by Time Life standards . I also enjoyed the 1990 commercial , which was less terror and morePure Moods . The Bermuda Triangle ? “ A pilot light we know once had a unfounded experience there ! ”
9 . ) Ubu Productions
Several of you experienced consternation over the rooted dog at the end of Punky Brewster , forever unintimidated , incessantly unable to pose .
8 . ) The DIC logo
Katgirl476 mentioned the DIC logotype , which played out Inspector Gadget . I never liked that elfin voice , casually swearing out of my television .
7 . ) The Viacom “ V of Doom ”
Commenter Heartburn Kid hated this shrieking , synthesized bulwark of consonant .
6 . ) The 1980s Marvel Productions Logo
Stellaluna ’s puerility memory of Muppet Babies were perpetually tarnished by Marvel ’s mincing , leering spokesman :
My founding father had awake me early to find out The Muppet Babies . Bleary - eyed and half - asleep , the show ended , and I saw THIS , an exotic freak leaping out and skulking , staring at me with its evil satanic eyes . For many years subsequently , the end credits vocal was a menacing countdown for the prison term I had pass on to hide my headland under the couch cushions . And then I base out it was Spider - Man .
5 . ) The 1980s United Artists Intro
Thoapsl was perturb by this foreign monolithic logo .
4 . ) 3 - 2 - 1 inter-group communication
I never of necessity find 3 - 2 - 1 Contact chilling , but I can see how this skill show ’s collage blow young nous . say Death_By_SnuSnu :
I was afraid of the 3 - 2 - 1 Contact presentation . It was all just too real and vivid for my four year quondam idea to handle . And I was fucking terrorize of the Bloodhound Gang — made me way anxious which probably bring to the overall 3 - 2 - 1 reverence .
And here ’s Contact ’s teenage tec police squad , The Bloodhound Gang . Holy shit , those gangster are function to kill those nestling .

2 . ) Gracie Films
Many of you process the logotype that closed out The Simpsons with fear tempered with obedience , not unlike the way sailors regard the sea .

1 . ) Unsolved Mysteries
Erwin , Gr8andPowerfulTurtle , and I all hate this television intro with a cacoethes . I ca n’t get more than 15 seconds into it , despite the fact that it sounds like “ Axel F. ” Seriously , it do even thecrappiest , grade - Z reenactmentsabsolutely hellish .
The only other TV theme with the king to deflower my day ? The first two seconds of theBaywatch Nightstheme .
