Look-in Logos...


A while back on the now defunct Look-in Blog which went with Daz's 'Look-in picture strip archive', we were discussing why some of Look-in's strips never used the proper logo lettering that went with the TV series in question. The most probable answer is that this would have added to the cost of using the series as a strip, in other words it was one way of keeping down the cost of the rights to do the strip.
I took this thought further and wondered what it might have looked like if they had used the proper lettering, and so I 'mocked up' these logos to post on the forum.  I found them on a disc the other day and I thought some of you who may not have seen them would like to, so here they are...

 
Incidentally, the Atlantis and TP fonts are available on the internet, the SMDM lettering is a font that I thought looked very close and The Bionic Woman I photoshopped from an annual cover, I think they look pretty good, and it is a pity they couldn't have been done for real in Look-in.
