Support Group is a scene from my unfinished podcast opera End. ​ It depicts a therapy group for people who were traumatized by TV production company closing logos when they were young. Although no such groups exist in real life — as far as I know! — there is a pretty large online community devoted to closing logos. Many people really were frightened by these strange moving shapes and synth fanfares, and they’ve given them alarming nicknames like "The V of Doom" and "The S from Hell." In fact, all the text in this piece is taken (with permission) from real comments on YouTube videos with titles like "10 Scariest TV Logos of All Time." The sound logos themselves, however, are my own inventions.
