'''Logo:''' On a sky blue background, a very thin black line zooms from the upper left side, moves almost halfway across the screen and then flips downward, revealing a butter yellow capital "{{font|Times New Roman|''{{font color|gold|B}}''}}" in a black parallelogram. By the time the "{{font|Times New Roman|''{{font color|gold|B}}''}}" is fully revealed, a second line flips downward, which reveals a red capital "{{font|Times New Roman|''{{font color|red|C}}''}}" in an orange parallelogram. When the "{{font|Times New Roman|''{{font color|red|C}}''}}" is fully revealed, a third line flips downward, revealing a light blue capital "{{font|Times New Roman|''{{font color|deepskyblue|P}}''}}" in a dark blue parallelogram. By the time all three parallelograms are in their places, the words "'''''BING CROSBY PRODUCTIONS'''''" in an italic Copperplate Bold font appear underneath.

*The B&W rendition of this logo (1963-1966) featured the company name sliding in place, in the form of two lines colliding on top of each other. The earlier color variant also uses the same effect.

*For the later years, the background color changes to light tan due to film deterioration.
*A few theatrical features from Bing Crosby Productions had a static rendition of this logo. We see the BCP logo already formed and the text "''A Service of COX BROADCASTING CORPORATION''" underneath, and the word "'''''PRESENTS'''''" fades in over the BCP logo. No "BING CROSBY PRODUCTIONS" legend is seen. A superimposed version of this was seen as well.

'''Editor's Note:''' This logo may be nerve breaking to first time viewers, but it’s not too bad compared to other logos from around the period.
