Did you know that the ending of the original Ghostbusters movie was originally going to be much bigger? The ending we got was pretty cool, but the one they had planned may have been epic. We will never know. You can get a sneak peek at what might have been for yourself. This video focuses on legendary artist Bernie Wrightson. He did a ton of concept art for Ghostbusters, including scenes that would have had the Ghostbusters going through the gates of hell. How amazing would that have been? Wrightson talks about this scene and more in the clip below, which is very fascinating. Fans of the movie will want to check it out.

Some logos are instantly recognizable. We know them as soon as we see them and they resonate with us. Ghostbusters has one of the most recognizable movie logos of all time. It is brilliant in it’s simplicity. An image of a ghost trapped in a “no” symbol. It is also perfect for the movie that it represents, which is not always the case. As you may or may not know, this design was created by producer and designer Michael C. Gross.
There was a recent art show in Los Angeles celebrating him. It was called “No Ghost Logos.” Over 30 artists were a part of the show and each had their own unique take on the Ghostbusters logo. Some fun examples are below. I love these. They are all very well done.
