Customised Studio Logos

I've just spent about twenty minutes procrasinating over at my new favourite site Closing Logos, which has an exhaustative but probably not anyway near completist look at when studio logos have been morphed into a custom design to fit the accompanied feature at our multiplexes. It's a fun way to waste time when you should be working, some of my favourites tend to be the 20th Century Fox customisations or bizarelly one's involving snow! Maybe it's a love of christmas. The logo for Edward Scissorhands (1992) is a personal favourite, blended with the sadness and macabre music of Danny Elfman...

The complete bastardisation of the Fox fanfare by Ralph Wigum before the under-cookled The Simpsons Movie (2007) proved to be that movie's highlight. And if nothing else, if curbed my worries that I was the only human being alive that hummed in his head to this tune before every Fox movie...

I'm also very fond of MGM's variation for Groucho Marx's A Night at the Opera (1935). Can you believe they were already taking the piss out of movie studio logos all the way back then?

Quite appropriately a few days after the release of Lesbian Vampire Killers (2009) in the U.K. today, is Roman Polanski's Dance of the Vampires (1967) variant, which is actually rather creepy...

The Cat in the Hat (2003), which promised a much better movie than what we were about to be shown...

Anyway, if you have time you need to kill (isn't this kind of mindless thing the point of the Internet anyway?), then browse away. Let us know your favourites, or ideas for what they could do with future movies.
