I LOVE the 80′s. We went for a family outing in 84 to see Ghostbusters at Leigh Canon cinema, queued up the alley and couldn’t get in, no room, I was properly gutted.

I’ve got 2 Stay Puffed figures at my mums house too which are ace.

Logo is immense too. Fact.

Rod's right. Looks like Ghostbusters III is on the cards for 2012, with all the old crew in action.

A few thoughts…

I was driving myself to see this movie when it came out. Thanks for making me feel the pain of age, David.

Who remembers the copyright infringement lawsuit brought by the creators of the Casper franchise? (Suit dropped in 1986)

And get ready, because most, if not all of the crew are getting back together to make Ghostbusters III.

Oh I love it. Had completely forgotten about this logo. Like the best logos it’s simple. It’s also fun for kids. Nice article.

Classic movie. I have not thought about it in a very long time.

I’ve not, Andrew, but would love to walk around the inside.

Steve, it was a kind of micro-light. I think there was a trigger at the back that rotated the blades. Not as good as the classic hearse.

Was Ecto 2 the yellow open top beetle? I had that and Ecto 1 (but being a VW fan the beetle was definitely my favourite!). I also had a Slimer toy that came with some ecto-plasm which when you hit a button it came out his mouth! Awesome!

The film came out while I was growing up, I loved it and I remember drawing the logo on all my school books.

I’ve always wondered…
Shouldn’t the ban-sign-stroke cross the ghost in the other direction? I mean, I was always told that this kind of sign was a synthesis of the word NO, being the crossing stroke an N over an O.

Sorry for my english, I’m from Argentina.

That is a well-loved movie. I was lucky enough to work professionally as a Ghostbuster (at Universal Studios Florida), and even though the film (at that time) was nearly 20 years old, the enthusiasm from the general public was always high.

And as for the logo, I’ve always loved it. It’s an easy get, it’s timeless, and it’s simple. And I believe that crew of scientists would hire somebody who would come up with that concept/execution.
