I never even knew that they used a real place for the landscape in the Gravity Falls logo, but the fact they did and that fans have finally found it is amazing.
I'm from france and it while on vacation with a friend we went near those mountains and I'm really stunned to know that this is where gravity falls picture logo was taken
Some dude in France 17 years ago: "This is a nice looking valley. I'm gonna take a pic of this with my Nikon D70!" Alex Hirsch 3 years later: "This looks like something from Oregon. I'm putting this in my show." Gravity Falls fans 14 years later: "ALEX, WHY FRANCE OF ALL PLACES?!"
i know the creators were probably unaware of the location of the photo but had they been, it could've totally been a gag in the show that the photo on the POSTCARD of the town was in france. like "come to gravity falls look at this beautiful mountain range! what? this is france?"
im a big fan of GF AND im also....french AND I lived not far from the location of the image, i let imagine my reaction to this vidéo, thank for that, maybe a day i will go to this place
Fantastic Gravity Falls in France, I never imagined that they would make a crusade in search of the place of the logo I loved the video greetings from mexico 😁✌🏼.
Oh my god! I always found that logo familiar and now I know why! Basically my grandpa used to have this big tapestry in our dining room with mountains and it kind of reminded me of the logo. No wonder why! It is the pyrenees mountains! Not the exact same point of view tho but still… that’s crazy! Oh I wish I thought of this sooner… wonderful job you all did! Absolutely crazy how much work goes into these searches. But.. I’m sorry but the sentence “I never knew of Pyrenees mountains before this” kind of hurt my European heart😭 I thought they were as famous as the Alps😭
Fun fact the Pyrenean Mountains were once the home of a well known extinct animal called the Pyrenean Ibex. It is also the only extinct animal that was successfully cloned and the only animal ever to go extinct twice. Considering it went extinct 2003 the photo was taken only 4 years after the animal went extinct for the second time.
They literally pieced all of the gravity Falls logos like a bloody fucking puzzle what the actual fuck the fandom deserve to go to a mental Institute who would think of doing that?
My friend sent me the mountain picture and said “bro this kinda looks familiar…” and me and him were tripping 😭🙏 Then he shared to video to me and said “I screenshotted it from this lol”
So, for a show on Disney… you can’t just download an image from the internet and use it in your show without telling anyone. This was very much a paid for image licensed from the start, even for the pilot. Disney has a lot of lawyers, they’d never allow Alex Hirsch to just steal an image from the internet without covering their butts. I’m more surprised you guys didn’t look for it in a stock image collection from the start…
This peak looks like a mountain called Golden Ears, near my hometown of Vancouver, BC. Honestly thought it was Pacific NW when looking at it. What a surprise honestly
As a German who is heavily interested in different language logos and as such knows about the German GF logo, that would've been my start. Glad you realized too that those international logos might be good to look at. But I am a bit confused as to why the trees don't fully match up with the final logo. Maybe it is a slightly different image or was edited further for the logo?
Saw all this live in the server was absolute cinema 🚬 I still can't stop saying it, but I'm left speechless with all thiss Many congrats guyss, you're so INSANE!! B))
Sadly that may be harder to determine than we previously thought. The image meta data had no credit info and neither did the site provide any name to a photographer. The only hope would be if the photographer themselves reveals they took it or Textures can provide that.
Sadly no. Looking on maps, the mountain has no name visible. So, unless it has a local name in the area that just isn't on record, then it's a nameless mountain.
There are actually many peaks in the image; if you zoom into the area on google maps you'll see a bunch of mountain names. One that seems to be directly in the line of sight is Crête d’Astantau.
@ThatGFFAN Could you possibly use the power of the internet and your following to find someone who lives close by, who could maybe tell you directly, or ask the locals for a name? I know it's a long shot, but in my opinion, it's still worth attempting, as it would be pretty cool to know what the mountain is called.
The 𝗵𝗼𝘄, 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻, and 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 have already been resolved, leaving only the 𝘄𝗵𝗼 and 𝘄𝗵𝘆 to be answered. Is this the start of the search for the photographer of the Gravity Falls logo image?
Great video man I wanted to ask you this question you probably heard this a million times but I wanted to get the answer to this question also PLEASE TELL ME I SHOULD STOP ASKING YOU THIS QUESTION IF YOU ARE TIRED OF IT so here it So is the Book of Bill going to release worldwide and more specifically in South Africa I live there and I really wanted to get the book Also side note I bet Alex Hirsch and the crew would proud of your discovery Great video man Also BTW you are the only GF UA-camr I can trust
Aww, thank you so much, appreciate that. Sadly, IDK if the Book of Bill will have releases in other countries. That's not so much something I would know about. Your best bet would probably be ordering a copy from a site that ships it world wide like The Mystery Shack store. Shipping costs would be higher though.
Now let's see if we can find Alex's social security number
I'm afraid that's too easy if you know where to look 💀
I can do that

I think what gets me most is that we know the exact minute the photo was taken. made me really thankful for camera metadata for a moment
I went to see it on google maps and this 42°54'13.2"N 0°05'35.2"E is the best angle I could get. The trees still have the exact same shape
I saw you talk about this on Twitter and on Discord! Excited to finally watch the video!
Love the fact you posted this weeks after I was tweaking thinking I was seeing things IN the logo, thanks for clearing that up😭🙏
About your logo, it convinced me, I was like: this guy likes shows that I like, so I’ll subscribe. Also props for Milo Murphy's law, that’s niche
man, that's crazy... good job you guys :D keep going, you're all amazing for this hehe

17:58 Well, I just found out why pacifica northwest is called the way she is
I had no idea until I asked an American what a weird PNW compass thing was on the back of a car I saw online :)
that is so cool! I love your channel BTW
Thank you :)
I’m not the only one who thought that the logo was just art right?
I never thought lore for where the background of the logo came from would be a topic! I was very invested in watching it get discovered! Good video!

It is also the only extinct animal that was successfully cloned and the only animal ever to go extinct twice.

that's definitely some Gravity Falls shenaniganery

If you think that's crazy, look up Cipher Hunt.
3:45 seeing this man wearing typical American office worker outfit feels cursed. Maybe that's why he put Tad Strange in the show.

WE’RE STILL FINDING SHIT IN THIS SHOW??? HOW
Just another day in the fandom
This peak looks like a mountain called Golden Ears, near my hometown of Vancouver, BC. Honestly thought it was Pacific NW when looking at it. What a surprise honestly
Amazing. Time to go out and find another mistery! I mean, now we need to know who made the photo so we can thank them too!
The GF fandom should try solving Cases the cops or government can't. Not for free tho, ask them for MONEY!
This fandom probably would've found the zodiac killer if Gravity Falls was around then, lol
Man how I love this Fandom
9:04 Actually, they used another font in the final version of Russian logo
My life has been lie thinking the mountains were from Oregon.
BUT NO ITS FRANCE
great video, you're a very good storyteller
Such an amazing achievement
Did anyone else thought of this as a secondary cipher hunt?
I actually wondered where it came from one time.
Nice to know its origin!
