''' | '''Visuals:''' On a {{color|blue}} background, a large white tube sits flat, resembling a TV screen. A {{color|blue}} rectangle then appears like a door shutting and 2 circles appear separately on top of each other, one {{color|blue}} and the other {{color|lightblue|light blue}}. The text "{{color|lightblue|A}} {{color|blue|ran{{small|K}}in bass}} {{color|lightblue|PRODUCTION}}", each word stacked, appears next to the shapes. The logo itself is supposed to represent an abstract "'''RB'''", with the "'''R'''" formed up with the darker colored parts and the "'''B'''" made up of all the shapes. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' Superimposed over the middle of the [[Motown Productions]] logo's animation are the words "Rankin/Bass" in a script font superimposed onto it with the text "IN ASSOCIATION WITH". The logo then fades out and the Motown logo animates as usual. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' The screen flashes three different shades of {{color|blue}}, with the effect that they're getting sucked inwards, into a rectangle at the left edge of the screen. Every time they go through a shade, that's what the color of the rectangle is, until all three have been done and the screen is white. Then the circles appear to complete the stylized "RB", except instead of just appearing, layers of the circles zoom in until they fill the outline - they sort of "grow" in their places. To the right of the logo appear the words "{{color|lightblue|A}} {{color|blue|ran{{small|K}}in bass}} {{color|lightblue|PRODUCTION}}" as usual, with "{{color|blue|ran{{small|K}}in bass}}" wiping in with the circles before the rest appear. It looks a bit like the first logo without the TV monitor. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' On a black background, the 1975 logo plays, without the "A" and "PRODUCTION" above and below the now-white "ran{{small|K}}in bass" words, respectively. The word "''{{color|skyblue|animated}}''" in a script-like font flashes and appears. The words "{{color|skyblue|entertainment from}}" then slides in. The logo then cuts to a sped-up version of the 1980 [[Telepictures Corporation|Telepictures]] "Linecoaster" logo. | ||
'''Technique:''' Traditional animation, which is again from Topcraft. | '''Technique:''' Traditional animation, which is again from Topcraft. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' We see the classic Rankin/Bass logo, except made completely three-dimensional, with the text in {{color|royalblue|royal blue}} and in the corporate font of then-current parent company Telepictures. A white line forms under the logo, and that line "springs" into a cursive "Animated Entertainment". Then, the "RB" zooms up, and the shapes slide apart as they come closer to the screen, revealing a white "from". As the "O" overtakes the screen, we see the animation of either [[Telepictures Corporation|Telepictures]] (1985-86) or [[Lorimar-Telepictures]] (1986-89), which eventually fills the entire screen. | ||
