    I can say with certainty that the Universal Logo that was introduced about 25 years ago or so was made of Solid Brass - about 1.25 inches thick. I made them for the design studio that was commissioned to create the new Universal opening. I used a company that had a Wire EDM machine (Electro Discharge Machining) to cut the letters into separate pieces. It was shot with a motor control camera system that "flew" the letters in one by one , with the proper offset to give the proper spacing for the letters. I would assume that the letters are now on some execs office at Universal . . they were each very heavy !

      There's a fun story about the opening titles for Waterworld. The concept in those titles is that the Universal logo appears as normal, then the Universal text fades out and the camera starts descending towards Earth while the oceans flood the continents. The VFX company hired to do the opening titles, PSF, assumed that the then current Universal logo (mid-90s) had been done with CGI and asked for the assets to be sent over. They did get the assets sent over - a 4-foot globe encased in a wooden crate.
      In the end they had to recreate the Earth and surrounding space elements from scratch, with the Universal text carefully rotoed and composited in from a scan of the existing optical title elements.

    The Solid Brass Logo that I fabricated for the Universal Studios Logo, was for a company I believe called Studio Effects - they had also been part of the refresh for the Paramount Studios Movie Introduction . This was shot at a facility called the Chandler Stages located in the Marina Del Rey area of LA, where they had the large Motion Control Cameras System that shot the Letters as separate elements. If there was any CGI it would have been in the very early days of Digital Compositing - but that was in post production which I had no involvement.

      No known material could support a structure this big. It will be pulled apart by the earth's, the moon's and the sun's gravity while also collapsing under it's own. Debris rain down on earth as a less devastating but still a potentially civilisation ending meteor shower. The end.

      But the nine letters in the 1995 Universal logo were smaller, thinner, and further from the planet. The calculations are made based on the current logo that has been used since 2012... Maybe they weren't so dangerous to the planet back then.

    @JossWhittle Рік тому +285

    There's an additional factor you didn't consider in your renderings. The letters are well within the "Roche limit" of the earth for their masses meaning not just are things on the earth being dragged up into the sky, but the letters are being torn apart by the differential strength of gravity between the near face and far faces of each letter. This would cause molten metal to stream off of the letters into lower orbits, quickly forming an accretion disk around the earth. It isn't just "splashes" of metal from collisions between the letters that will be raining but an entire accretion disk.

      I did actually! I calculated the Roche limit for every letter. Because that equation is density based, and because the density ratio we’re dealing with is so extreme, the Roche limit wasn’t actually ever reached! So the letters wouldn’t have turned into an accretion disk! I was a little surprised, as I had plans to make a big shiny disk around earth, and even calculated the diameter at various thicknesses.
      But in the end it didn’t really feel necessary for this video because by the time the Roche limit was reached, the earth was already melting. And it would’ve been the earth that started breaking up, not the platinum. Hence why I ended it with the double earth scenario.

      @@CorridorCrew the 'double earth' surprised me.
      I figured the two spheres would just combine and Earth after it cooled in probably a million years would have a massive platinum core. I guess because the letters are in geosynchronous orbit they had enough momentum to keep separated? The atmosphere would have slowed them down a bit, especially since their own gravity would increase the drag, gravitational drag is a thing, momentum energy would transfer from one body to another.
      I still applaud you on a very complex simulation.
      This is normally given to supercomputers to figure out.

    I know your scenario was using some magic force to keep the logo (generally) in place, but it would be fun to see it play out all the way. The logo is well within the Roche limit so it would be ripped apart and rain down on Earth, but as it did, it would also fall closer to Earth and have greater gravitational impact as the center of the letters mass descended. There would be a point where the remnants of the letters would have greater local gravitational pull than the Earth from the surface of Earth, though it would probably be VERY brief. Of course, that one's not so easy of a calculation. You might have to get Scott to take over the spreadsheet at that point.

    The problem with the idea that everything would fly up is that it’s only possible if the logo weighed more than the Earth. Even if it’s on top of your head, as long as it’s even just a little bit lighter than Earth, you will not be sucked up onto it.

    What a fascinating thought experiment. I've always had a deep appreciation of movie studio logos in how they are the very few animated company logos (as in in motion, not just CGI type of animation). Also, being how many studios are over a century old, it's a great time capsule seeing how their logos evolved over that time.
