Description Three years ago, one of the earliest logo ideas I spoofed was the 1971 version of PBS, America's public television network.

The logo was introduced that year, and went on for a good 13 years before getting replaced by a single P-head and different music and effects.

People from that era would recognize the synthesizers and animation from the early days of Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, and the original Electric Company: [link]

Here's an early series of bloopers from YouTube user davemadson: [link] The inspiration from him has helped me come up with a few ideas of my own!

Inspired by the works of davemadson.

Yeah, I don't exactly know the name of the actual text that matches what they used, so I improvised.

AngusMcTavish In reply to SpongeDudeCoolPants [2012-06-21 01:15:26 +0000 UTC]

More than likely, they'll be different programs about how to Hate That Hedgehog.

What font is that you used?

AngusMcTavish In reply to YourIglooOrMine [2012-08-02 05:50:26 +0000 UTC]

D'oh! I'm sorry, I messed up! The font for this was "Tw Cen MT." When not in bold, it best resembles the letters in the style Sesame Street used to use.

I used the Cooper Black for most of my "Truckin'..." pics!

Cooper Black. About as '70s as the fonts available can get!

I have some fond memories of it as well!

Hello, boys and girls. Can you say "I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG!"? I knew you could.

This looks even better than the old logo. So, the new logo here definitely deserves a !
Anyway, good work, AMT.

AngusMcTavish In reply to XMSB [2012-06-18 05:17:41 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Yeah, looking back on the old one, it definitely needed improvement.

So I sent it to go mop up the dungeon!

Seriously, though, the thought of revising this is only the beginning. You no doubt saw where I spoofed the Looney Tunes intros? Well, I've got another logo I'm spoofing in a series, and THIS IS IT!

I've already got a good number of ideas, and I keep coming up with MOAR!

I don't want to just send 'em a little at a time. I wanna bring out the lot in one big ol' logo cluster bomb!
