It has to be a home video VHS logo you were deathly afraid of, and NOT a logo from the TV or film theaters, anybody making false comments will be deleted, and NO pictures or videos being posted!

The Sony Hi-Fi Stereo logo was the most scariest home video VHS logo of the 90s (as does Walt Disney's own flashbang bumpers which were written in a font similar to Times New Roman)
The Sesame Street website bumper from 1998-2001. It still scares me today. Who even THOUGHT that would be acceptable to show very young children? Maria's creepy, low-quality voiceover scared me the most.

Seconded. And I was 10 when I first saw that, because my goddamn parents thought it would be OK for them to buy Sesame Street VHS tapes for someone who clearly outgrew the show and only watched it when they were bored.
Now keep in mind, I'd seen a lot of scary shit in years prior. Terminator, Aliens, heck even Matango (a low-budget Japanese horror movie from the '60s.) But nothing, I repeat NOTHING had come close to scaring the crap out of me like that bumper. It was the goddamn "empty" vibe of it: the black screen, the sudden drawing of the doodle, and the CREEPY VOICE. I couldn't go to sleep the night I first saw it, and to make matters worse it was on all three of the VHS tapes my parents bought for me.
When they finally apologized and bought me VHS tapes of the shows on Toonami, I HID those Sesame tapes, because I didn't want to be REMINDED of that fucking bumper.
Rest in hell, Sonia Manzano. (No, not really, but fuck the people who made this bumper.)

Came here to say the same thing. You forgot the EYESORE color the scribble was. I felt my eyes were burning every time it came on. And Maria's voice... who knew Sonia Manzano could sound so TERRIFYING?!
Also, does anyone remember the bumper that came on after the website bumper? Some weird rainbow vortex... I remember being scared of that too. In fact, the whole Great Numbers Game VHS terrified me (due to the creepy Sony Wonder promo at the beginning with the off-key calliope music, the main theme of the video which was some bootleg Mario music, and the after-mentioned bumpers.)
I much more preferred Big Bird Sings! because it didn't have the nightmare fuel at the beginning and end. (Surprisingly, the laser zap CTW logo didn't really bother me... I thought it sounded like Space Ghost using his Power Bands.)
The WarnerVision logo used on the Magic School Bus VHS tapes also scared me. That clanging sound... brrrr...
