It's interesting that in almost every case, the studios dispensed with their traditional logo in the 70s, only to revive the classic look later on. Quite a few also revive older logos for films set in the past (the old Universal logo at the beginning of `Ed Wood' is one that springs to mind - more on that logo at http://www.closinglogos.com/page/Universal+Pictures?t=anon).
Not long ago, I remember newspapers reporting the death of the woman who `had the most film credits of any actor', because she'd posed for the Columbia logo. I've tried Googling to see if it was one of the women named in this article, but no luck.
I also recall hearing about a stylised Art Deco Leo the Lion that was either briefly used or trialed and never used, back in the 1930s. Does this ring any bells with anyone?
