I caught this video last Sunday on Subterranean and was highly entertained by the accuracy of the re-creations of 80s era video logos and bumpers. It really brought me back to my childhood, especially the ones that resemble the HBO pre-roll. I couldn’t put my finger on quite a few of the logos but they all seemed familiar. The video also brings to mind the work of artist James White, who does a fantastic job of capturing the spirit of the 80s in his prints.
