YouTube video by Bored's VHS Pile TAT LOGO FOUND.

Thank you, BoredVHSLover!
Full video here:

After years of searching, the logo for Norman Lear's TAT Communications Company was finally found on a 1979 airing of The Jeffersons!

The team is aware of the unexpected downtime of the AVID wiki. We are working on resolving the problem, and apologize for not informing people of this earlier.
Thank you for your patience.

Mosfilm

More information about the logo can be found here:

This classic logo for Mosfilm, Russia's largest film studio, is the oldest on-screen logo still used, being first used in 1947. Although it was initially discontinued in 2003, the studio revived it in 2012 for use on historical films set during the Soviet period.

We are aware of AVID's domain currently showing up as expired and thus rendering the site inaccessible. Please don't panic and keep calm, as we already have a full text backup of it until the beginning of this month, and we have contacted WikiForge Support to get this issue addressed.

Thank you.

The Rank Organisation

Two gongmen have starred during this logo's lifespan. From 1944-1957, heavyweight boxer "Bombardier" Billy Wells was the gongman, and from 1957-1997, it was Olympic medalist wrestler Ken Richmond (both pictured below).

One of the most iconic logos in British cinema, the Rank Organisation logo featuring a man hitting a gong has embedded itself in popular culture and was parodied numerous times.

If you grew up watching Little House on the Prairie or The Love Boat in the 80s-90s, you might remember this logo with the whoosh and its synthesized jingle. Feel old yet? 😁
