UNCOVERED: The history of the ghostbusters logo - Caught on Camera

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire will be released this month, and promotional material features a familiar design: the Ghostbusters logo. The original logo design became iconic after the first Ghostbusters film in 1984, but it almost never was.

The result was an iconic logo that remains recognisable today, although it's had some tweak.
