i'm loving justice's video for DVNO right now. it's loaded with all the classically old school 1980 TV bumpers (HBO, sega, NBC, PBS, etc.) I've tried to compile a list of all the retro logo promos and post screenshots for reference, so you don't have to play and pause the video a million times like i did. i still have some missing, so let me know if you find something that works and i'll fill it in here...

The Hollywood sign DVNO seems reminiscent of the GTA: San Andreas tv spots.
"Patience" looks like the logo of CHEERS tv show from NBC.
mayhem == Iron Maiden
The DVNO before 'printed in gold' might be Dianetics...?
I'd say "Only one can win" reminds me of transformers
yeah, i agree with nathan. i'm certain it's dianetics, especially since i think there's a volcano mixed in there as well.
The "Mayhem" explosion reminded me of the one in the MacGyver intro (at 0:14)
Though the typeface is different, it would fit the 80's theme.
The DVNO on a hill is from a more recent HBO feature presentation open.
the Young & Old reminded me of This Old House... ? maybe not.
the dvno thing your cslling dianetics is dolby surround... it goes through the city part first
I believe that the "story telling" logo was heavily influenced by the CBS Storybreak bumpers.

The DVNO right before Details I think is from NOVA, a PBS science program.
The DVNO that you attributed to Dianetics is actually from the extended version of the HBO in space logo. You can view the full version here:

I think "Only One Can Win" is from DataEast and thos games of Commodore64, as the logo "Details". And the you say is from Orion logo I think its from the series "V".
Data East Logo: http://www.lacoctelera.com/myfiles/jaimixx/dateast1.jpg
V Logo: http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=rUdyvsQRca4
The 'Mayhem' looks like 'Heavy Metal 2000' to me.
"The same, ashamed" looks like the original Worldvision logo.
waxed is obviously an Xbox reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXAG2SlJ_bE
i can vaguely remember that theres the X that gets really bright in the old xbox commercials but i can't find any on the internet
Young and Old = Home Alone???
I guess "Only one can win" is an allusion to Mad Max, besides Mayhem looks a lot like transformers logo and feel
There's a load that I recognize but can't place, esp. the 'Young&Old' logo, almost certainly an insurance/banking company.
Also there's a moment at 2.34 where the 'DVNO' is unmistakably done as the 80's UA logo mid-turn.
hm... the logo on the film canister kinda reminds me of "Intel VIVE" (or how it's spelled)
The COOL logo in pink looks like the Audi circles logo.
Fantastic compilation! The most thorough one I've seen yet, and delves into more obscure logotypes too.
The "Lipstick case explode" is somewhat reminiscent of how the Death Star blows up. I don't know what other visual inspiration may've been involved.
Would the "membership" ticket be reminiscent of the Willy Wonka golden ticket?

"No need to ask my name" - the floating N's are pretty reminiscent of a Robert Abel commercial from the mid-70s. Quite groundbreaking.

On that note, the "Light" animation in the same commercial is similar to "Patience".
!"Girls: my best guess here is new york dolls...?"!
i Think tha is from Virgin
I just realized today that the fadeout of the CBS/Fox styled "DVNO" is probably inspired by United Artists' logo.
Young and Old: Possibly based on a 1980's logo for UK building society Cheltenham and Gloucester
Ugly Girls and Boys: Possibly based on a 1980's logo for the Open University (UK again)
WAXED goes for the XBOX logo.
i'm new... promise to brief nearly more oftentimes!
the "details" part at the first chorus reminds me of the old "challenge tv" idents
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ToXs1kxiiA here's the link to one of the idents
"Ed Banger Records" is reminiscent of Charles in Charge
