I'll go ahead and get this conversation rolling. I voted for the logo used for season six through eight. While the version used for the earliest seasons occupy that time period when FALCON CREST was in its prime, I'm more attracted to the colors and background scenery (especially the view of Angela's home, the vineyards, and swimming pool) used in the later version.
Like I said, this logo was used during the show's heyday. During this time, FALCON CREST achieved its highest ratings and dished out its juiciest and best storylines. My favorite cliffhanger -- the one closing out Season 2 -- has this logo attached to its intro. But there's something that strikes me as a little bleak about it -- I think it's the font they use. The emblem and the colors are good, and the scenery used beforehand is pretty.
This one, in my opinion, is the worst of the batch. It's quite simply too much red and it makes the logo look cheap and appear as if it were hastily thrown together. The background scenery is getting to where I like it more, but the pictures of the cast with this dreadful red frame are sour grapes to the eyes. Not a fan of this logo at all, quite frankly.
We arrive at my favorite. The colors, the scenery, the font. It all just works out and looks beautiful. When I typically think of a FALCON CREST logo, I usually think of this one. I understand this one was used at a time when the show was in a constant downward spiral, but I like it and personally wished they would've used it earlier in the series' run.
Some might toss this logo at the bottom simply because it occupies Season 9, the final chapter most would say is quite dreadful. I'd say the color and -- to a lesser extent -- the font are tolerable, but what I don't like is the vacancy of the emblem. I'm a stickler for the FALCON CREST emblem, and I like seeing it beside, above, or wherever it may be around the logo. Oh, and the theme instrumental this final season wasn't helping anything, either. It's too different from the traditional to be efficient.
