The Morse code heard on the logo from 1929 to 1937 transmitted this message: VVV A RADIO PICTURE VVVVV. (5 'V's in this one - yes, I once knew Morse code LOL).

In the golden era of Hollywood, RKO Radio Pictures was one of the most influential film studios, producing timeless classics like "King Kong," "Citizen Kane," and "Bringing Up Baby." The studio's logo, "A Radio Picture," became an iconic symbol of the cinematic magic it brought to audiences worldwide. Originally introduced in 1929, the logo was an essential part of the studio's identity until it underwent a significant change in 1937.

The original "A Radio Picture" logo was a technologically innovative introduction to RKO films. It featured a large radio tower that stood tall against the night sky, exuding an aura of modernity and connectivity.

Though the original "A Radio Picture" logo holds a special place in the hearts of film enthusiasts, the revised emblem of the Earth became equally iconic in its own right and continued to grace the screens before RKO movies until the studio's decline in the late 1950s to be purchased by Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball to become Desilu Studios adjacent to the Paramount lot off Melrose in Hollywood, CA.
