My First (and only) Movie Logo

In grade school my friend Tom Burden had an inexpensive 8mm movie camera, and he and I had some fun with it, making silly silent comedy short films. None have survived, as far as I know, but when clearing some old stuff out of our storage room today I came across this title logo I did for one of them. My only excuse is that I was about twelve years old at the time! As you can see, I was already influenced by the kind of telescoping seen on many comics logos, and some epic movie logos of the period as well.

Here’s what’s on the back, the end title. There might have been another one with our names on it, I don’t recall. The lettering does not speak well for a future career in the field, but then again, I was pretty young…!
