Rare old CBS logos

[bpatrick]

Re my posting about Hank Simms. I've
found a website run by somebody named
Lee Goldberg that says that Simms is now
living in Hot Springs, Arkansas (he's a native
of Oklahoma) and is 85 years young. His wife
died of cancer in 2003.

I know I've posted this before, but here it is again: Here's a website with a lot of the old color TV openings: http://ev1.pair.com/colorTV/colorTVlogos.html

Also, here's another page I discovered that has old color TV logos toward the bottom of the page: http://community-2.webtv.net/stevetek/StevesCT100/


I haven't watched the original peacock in years. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

The moog synthesizer sync of the CBS font "drop" with the eye logo sweep converting it to a color logo was one of the coolest intros CBS ever did...

When first used in 1965, the announcer who mentioned that "CBS presents this program in color" on this bumper was Hal Simms (of The Edge of Night fame); the next year, 1966, Bob Hite (later to become the voice of the CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite from c.1972 to 1979) took the honors of mentioning the fact that the following CBS program was in color.
