This is awesome! I love this. They are all iconic in their on way. I recently took a typography class and I have a new found appreciation for logos, fonts, and their effectiveness. Can't wait to see all of them once they've been gathered.

I am glad they now stick with consistency through their logos; though a few have been altered for home release I think ? Cinderella springs to mind.

Only a few logos are showing on my comp though ?

Whatever fonts were featured in the earlier films' title cards can be thought of as their official logos.

Didn't know that each new film had their own logo, though looking back at some of the earlier film's re-release trailers (mostly Snow White's), I can see how it would make sense to have one.

They are not all there yet. This thread will be a continuous work in progress. I've just listed the WDAS and Pixar films as placeholders.

For the most part, I agree. Films like Bambi, Pinocchio, and Dumbo have title cards that also work great as logos. But for some films, the actual title card is really not that great, and I feel later releases used a logo that better embodies the film. Most of the films in the 60s and 70s used horribly bland fonts for the title card, and I think newer logos should be considered.

I love this idea. I'm a logo nut myself. I shall go through what I have and share in the next couple of days (I am actually busy at the moment creating original logos for my job, lol)

Great topic, I'll be sure to check it often. I wrote a bit about Cinderella's logos throughout the years in another thread as I find this whole concept of unique title art fascinating when done right (like Pixar does with their films) and it annoys me that Disney keeps changing logos for some of their films. Thanks for starting the thread!

Will these do...?

Thanks guys! Glad to hear you all like the idea!

universALLove, those are great! Do you know where you got them from? I'll use those ones for now and if we can find higher resolution I'll replace them.

So for Beauty and the Beast - who prefers this one and who prefers the more commonly used gold one, as seen on the cover of the Diamond edition? I personally like the title screen one. I feel it embodies the film more.

This is a great thread. While I have not worked on it for a while, this will be very useful for future work on my custom DVD/ Blu-ray covers.

I've updated with several new logos over the past couple hours, including Bambi, Aladdin, and the ones submitted by universALLove.

Thanks again universALLove!

As for Cinderella, I'd like to hear what everyone thinks. There are a number of different Cinderella logos throughout the years, and in my personal opinion the one on the title card from the film doesn't best represent the film. If you had to pick ONE logo that were to be used for Cinderella from now on, what would it be? Would you prefer a new logo, something that hasn't been done yet?

Here are some of the logos that have been used:

Title card-------------------------------------------------------------Original Theatrical Poster--------1987 Re-release----------------------------------------------Masterpiece Collection

The gold one is classier, more stylish and more somber, IMO. The title screen one, while gorgeous and more elaborate and lavish, is a bit flashy and flamboyant (or should I say baroque), which may seem gaudy and kitschy at times and I can't see it really working on home video covers - unless it's structured similarly to the gold one (horizontally, Beauty and the BEAST) and recolored differently.

So, my vote goes to this one:

Btw, there's also a third logo, similar to the original one, but slightly different:

I'd stick to the PE one. Either that, or the '90s logo. Anything but the cheap-looking current one.

^^Agree with Mooky on the gold BaTB logo... They have used that logo for several releases now, and the other one has only been used as the title card...

As for the cinderella one, when I think of a Cinderella logo I think of the one used for the one used on the PE and DE. It was also used on some VHS releases as well. Even though it has varied slightly that seems to be the logo Disney has stuck with for the past two decades or so... I prefer the PE one to the DE one though as I find it more balanced.
