Lorimar-Telepictures: The Prototype Logo

Did you know that there was a prototype logo for Lorimar-Telepictures, the former distributors of ThunderCats, SilverHawks, and The Comic Strip, before the company’s standard “colliding comets” logo? Well, I found the exact same logo from a January 17, 1986 episode of The $1,000,000 Chance of a Lifetime:

You can even see it alongside the 1985 Rankin/Bass logo, as it appeared at the end of the SilverHawks episode “Sky-Shadow”:

You’re very welcome. :slight_smile:

I’m a little disappointed. I just woke up and thought the title said Lego.

Nope. It’s about the prototype Lorimar-Telepix logo. :slight_smile:

Thundercats Lego would be pretty sweet though.:slight_smile:

Totally agree. I initially misread it also!

If Lego obtained the ThunderCats license, it would work ever so wonderfully. :wilykit

I would go absolutely broke! (with a big smile on my face ;))

I would be all over the inevitable Chinese knockoffs. You can get a set of 6 here for less than $4. The Ghostbusters fire house is around $60.

How is the quality on some of those knockoffs? Come across any Thundercats merchandise? (Feel free to PM me if this is getting too off topic)
