1) The logo/visuals themselves (despite being animated)
2) The animation
3) The music/SFX
Give detailed reasons why and some examples, please.
A case could be made for logos that zoomed in your face, i.e., the Warner
Brothers shield in the Looney Tunes.
Also, does anyone know about this new Screen Gems TV network? When does it
premiere? What stations will carry it?

From an early age I considered the 1970s Viacom logo (we in the Closing
Logo Group call it "The V of Doom") scary for a couple of reasons. First,
the V seemed to be coming right at me. Also, the music and logo both start
and end suddenly, with that last note and timpani echoing for a good second
or two after the logo disappears.

The Screen Gems Network debuts Sept.20 in syndication as an
one hour showcase of the Screen Gems TV library. First up
will be "Bewitched" and "I Dream of Jeannie". I don't know
what stations will carry it but it supposed to have 90%
clearance in the US--unfortunately I live in the 10% that
isn't!--:(

Screen Gems early 60's? I'm just guessing. I don't remember them looking like
cats, though.

What do you mean by "in the past?" I recall seeing the Screen Gems
name and logo in theatrical films released in the 1950s and '60s. Most
notably, I remember the altered version used in "The Mouse That
Roared," in which the Columbia goddess lifts her skirt, screams and
runs away after she discovers a mouse. The theater audience laughed
and cheered.
