Stuff that occurs to me

All of my 'how to' posts are tagged here. The most popular posts are about blocking and private accounts on Twitter, also the science communication jobs list. None of the science or medical information I might post to this blog should be taken as medical advice (I'm not medically trained).

Think of this blog as a sort of nursery for my half-baked ideas hence 'stuff that occurs to me'.

Film quiz - logos edition

by @JoBrodie, post written November 2011 and updated September 2016

If you've arrive here looking for the iPhone Logos Quiz app (and from Google Analytics it seems that you probably are) then the link is http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/logos-quiz-game/id478364212?mt=8 

Jump to the bottom for a movie theme (or incidental music from a movie) quiz that I found on YouTube.

Just found this. Wonderful :) It's the very, very start of David Arnold's live-to-picture concert for Independence Day at the Royal Albert Hall on 22 September 2016.



Many of us of a certain age have warm feelings towards the Pearl & Dean logo / ident (what are these things called?!) that used to appear before the main feature and everyone would sing along.

Whenever I go and see a film I always try and guess the film production or distribution company logo / ident / whatever before the logo resolves on screen. In case anyone else wants a go at playing this game I've picked ten of these logos and taken a screenshot at a point when I think the name of the company might be on the tip of your tongue... I wouldn't be surprised if they come after me and ask me to take the images down, and I will totally cave :)

Before we start I should acknowledge that not everyone likes these - here's Family Guy's Peter Griffin getting pretty miffed at a selection of studio logos (oh so that's what they're called) before whatever film he's gone to see with Brian.

  3. Well done, that looks about right :)

    Did you come here looking for something else - I wondered why this post was suddenly starting to get hits and then spotted there was some new logos app on the App store haha.

Comment policy: I enthusiastically welcome corrections and I entertain polite disagreement ;) Because of the nature of this blog it attracts a LOT - 5 a day at the moment - of spam comments (I write about spam practices,misleading marketing and unevidenced quackery) and so I'm more likely to post a pasted version of your comment, removing any hyperlinks.

Comments written in ALL CAPS LOCK will be deleted and I won't publish any pro-homeopathy comments, that ship has sailed I'm afraid (it's nonsense).
