Favorite Logo?

[Michelle Stevens]

Borrowed from @ClassyCo from the Knots Landing section, what is your favorite logo from the Dallas series? Which font did you like the most?

I voted for 1978-1986. It's not because they are the favoured seasons but the font itself. I then would have followed with 1986-1989, 1989-1991, 1978 and lastly, the ghastly TNT Version. Seeing Dallas in glorious HD was pure joy...I just didn't like the graphic.

I voted for the Season 2 thru Season 9 logo. That was DALLAS at its peak when it had the best storylines and the highest ratings. Very iconic logo for sure.​

I picked 86-89 just because the intro was more modern.

I don't really like the logo for the final two seasons of the original DALLAS at all. The show was in a steady downward spiral at that time, and the decision to change the intro design certainly didn't help anything. I had gotten used to the tri-fold picture collage following each actor's initial on-screen credit. Changing something that essential to the intro that late in the show's run just didn't set well.

But I tend to overthink some things.​

I just had a thought. Perhaps this thread should have been held off until the release of the upcoming remastered Dallas. I'm curious to see what they have done with the intro.

I love the 1978 - 1986 logo however it's more or less the same logo up until 1989.

The line below the logo changed occasionally, for instance season ten was the first to have A Lorimar Tele-pictures Production before it eventually became A Lorimar Television Production.

I also chose the 1978-1986 logo, and for a slightly different reason.

Those were the glory years of Dallas parties on Friday nights. Fondue, shag carpeting, cassette tapes, and Dallas!

So that logo brings back great memories for me.

shag carpeting

That alone would have discounted any ideas of watching Dallas at my aunt's home. I'll never forget the day she had white shag carpet put in her loungeroom. You were never allowed to eat in there and socks had to remain on, no bare feet or shoes of any kind. Her husband hated the idea and to this day we have a giggle about it. Many years later my aunt admitted the truth with the announcement it wasn't one of her best decisions. But hey...happier times.

The original logo used for the mini series. I think it uses a well designed typeface and the characters are filled in so it's clearer and more dramatic.

I like the second one on that one, albeit I favor the sub-version where the "A Lorimar Production" credit comes right in as the Dallas title stops, instead of delaying for a second or two (of course, that sub-version [Lorimar name coming right in as Dallas title stops] would be used with the other Lorimar credits [Lorimar-Telepictures, Lorimar Television]).

I do like the final gold logo of the original series and I didn't mind the new arrangement of the title sequence except for losing the three way split on the cast. I wish they hadn't changed that as it was so iconic.
