'''Availability:''' Extinct. This was last seen on original airings of ''The King Kong Show'', and the 1967 ''Cricket on the Hearth'' special. Don't expect this on current TV airings and DVD/Blu-ray releases of both, as they are plastered over with the first Rankin-Bass logo. | '''Availability:''' Extinct.

''' | '''Legacy:''' A simple and not very well-known logo. It is notable for its music however, which would be more infamous when the company became Rankin-Bass. It's strange that the "r" in "VIDEOCrAFT" is lowercase while the other letters are uppercase. | ||

*It was plastered by the 1984 WBTV shield on the 2000 DVD of ''The Year Without a Santa Claus'', but on the 2007 "Deluxe Edition" DVD, the logo is intact, while older FOX/ABC Family (now Freeform) airings plastered this logo with the 1990 WBTD and 1994 [[Warner Bros. Domestic Pay TV, Cable & Network Features|WBTV Domestic Pay TV]] logos due to split screen credits. | *It was plastered by the 1984 WBTV shield on the 2000 DVD of ''The Year Without a Santa Claus'', but on the 2007 "Deluxe Edition" DVD, the logo is intact, while older FOX/ABC Family (now Freeform) airings plastered this logo with the 1990 WBTD and 1994 [[Warner Bros.

''' | '''Legacy:''' Simple, but decent for 1968. It's also a beloved and nostalgic logo by many, particularly during the Christmas season. | ||

''' | '''Legacy:''' While still fairly simple, it's a bit more advanced than before. Another memorable logo during the Christmas season, though it isn't as notable as the 1st logo. Some have been rattled by this logo due to its music and fast-paced animation. | ||

'''Availability:''' This was a prototype/placeholder logo, and only appeared on the broadcast pilot for ''ThunderCats'' (''Exodus'' and ''The Unholy Alliance''). It was then plastered by the next logo when repeated on the show's fall premiere on that same year. This logo survived on the PAL DVD prints of the show, plastering the next logo on all the episodes. | '''Availability:''' This was a prototype/placeholder logo, and only appeared on the broadcast pilot for ''ThunderCats'' (''Exodus'' and ''The Unholy Alliance'').

''' | '''Legacy:''' A cool and lively, but wasted logo that takes advantage of the "Blues" animation to good effect. | ||

''' | '''Legacy:''' A departure from the '60s-era animation of the previous logos. It is a definite improvement, and likely a favorite of those who remember watching ''ThunderCats'' and ''SilverHawks''. | ||
