'''Editor's Note:''' | '''Editor's Note:''' An example of early '60s art decor; advertising of the era commonly used this style of art. This logo was used for a relatively short period of time, and as such, it's relatively obscure - especially compared to the next logo. | ||

* For a logo from the '60s, this features very smooth animation, especially when compared to other logos of the time. | |||
* This logo has gained a relatively large cult following (even transcending the core closing logo community), due to its notoriety for scaring some viewers (particularly children), mostly due to the animation and Siday's early Moog stinger. Commonly referred to alongside other "scary" logos, such as the [[Viacom]] "V of Doom", [[VID (Russia)]] "Mask of Gao Xiong", [[Klasky-Csupo]] "Super Scary Face", and [[THX]] "Deep Note". Its notoriety was even enough to spawn a short mockumentary in 2010 called ''The S from Hell'', as well as get featured in a particularly tense scene in Tarantino's "''Once Upon a Time in Hollywood".'' | |||
* Despite its notoriety, adults viewers will likely be unfazed by any supposed scariness. | |||
