Good Morning Vietnam 1987

Official Title of Good Morning Vietnam 1987

Starring Robin Williams, an epic and hilarious film about Vietnam. A ground breaking war film that ran the gambit of sorrow, joy, humor and love. Produced under Touchstone Pictures, it was a total polf, the opposite of an expected flop that became a super smash hit.

In the title credit is a unique logo created for the film. It featured an old time bar shaped microphone tilted to the left with air force wings of three stripes.

  1. So...do you have any idea who created that microphone/air force logo? Or where can I get a bigger version?

    1. I was able to get the image from the original movie. I would assume its copyrighted. But since I'm a recognized vexillologist, my work falls under fair use. If you want a bigger version feel free to edit my pic. If you have a handle on photo shop it should be no problem.
