'''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.

*The logo appears to have <u>varying speeds</u> when it comes to the circles appearing, as well as slight differences in the lettering's shape.

*When it first debuted in <u>1968</u>, the logo was slightly different. The most notable difference is that the TV monitor isn't present, but there are also a number of smaller differences. The rectangle's animation is slightly different, the circles appear slower and with part of "{{color|blue|ranKin bass}}" as well alongside them, and the text appears to be a bit cleaner. The copyright date also uses Arabic numerals rather than Roman numerals. This has first appeared on the rare 1968 special ''The Mouse on the Mayflower'', but it's more commonly seen on ''The Little Drummer Boy'' and ''Frosty the Snowman''.

*On ''<u>The Smokey Bear Show</u>'', an amalgamation of the early and later variants is used, having the animation of the later variant, but lacks the TV tube shape and uses Arabic numerals like the early variant. It's also in a shade of {{color|blue}}.

'''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 the words "{{color|lightblue|A}} {{color|blue|ran{{small|K}}in bass}} {{color|lightblue|PRODUCTION}}" appear 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 early version of the first logo.
