Rocket Bunny Entertainment

Background
Rocket Bunny Entertainment's origins trace way back to February 16, 1905, when an allied filmmaker Clifford "Cliff" Chandler Robun established an uncharted studio on Sidney Blvd. in Chicago, IL. He partnered with his sons Austin Robun-Viltfeld and Samuel Robun-Penton to form "Robun Brothers, Incorporated" on September 7, 1909, making it the oldest American movie company in continuous operation, before the founding of Paramount Pictures (founded on May 8, 1912, as Famous Players Film Corporation), Universal Pictures (founded on June 8, 1912), and Warner Bros. Pictures (founded in 1918 as Warner Bros' Pictures Incorporated). Despite being non-independent after June 17, 2005, the company is an addition to the "Big Seven" studios, alongside 20th Century Studios (formerly 20th Century Fox, with it reverting back to its original name after the shutdown of its owner in 2023), Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures, Universal Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Walt Disney Pictures (before they were closed by this company in late 2023).

After Xavier Robun, a newborn at the time of founding became 23, he joined the studio. When Cliff Chandler passed away in December 1951, the same year the company moved operations from Chicago to Hollywood, the sons took over the company independently overseeing the releases of films such as The Curse of the Devil's Roar, The Happiest Bunches, Wild Rose, Stars of a Thief, Art of the Trickster, and Ships of the Forgotten. Then, Austin died from a stroke in early 1979, shortly after the release of the critically-acclaimed Vinny Dreams, and the renaming to Rocket Bunny Entertainment. After Sam finally passed away from heart cancer in 1986, Xavier struggled to keep his films in good condition, as many box office failures from this era were making him lose control of the studio. Many executives from Universal, Paramount, Columbia, and 20th Century Fox left their respective jobs at the studios and offered to continue work on films with him.

During its time remaining independent for 96 years, Rocket Bunny Entertainment was subject to numerous distributions of films over time, such as films from 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros. Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Columbia Pictures, Walt Disney Pictures, Miramax Films, MGM, New Line Cinema, and Universal Pictures. After the overwhelming critical and commercial successes of Kernel & Rose x Harold: The Boy (20th Century Fox, 1999), 20th Century Fox eventually acquired 35% of the company on June 17, 2005, after the release of Kernel & Rose x Harold: The Boy: The Naked Mile (2005).

In 2003, within the underline of distribution deals of 20th Century Fox, Rocket Bunny's independent film division was rebranded "Rocket Bunny Pictures" for further independently made films. During that time, the company signed a distribution deal with AOL Time Warner (now Warner Bros. Discovery; through Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema), which was originally each ten films long. But after a large amount of box office successes (such as The Definition (New Line Cinema, 2004), Go Free The People (Warner Bros. Pictures, 2004), the 2005 remake of The Legendary Storyteller (Warner Bros. Pictures), The Killing Warden (Warner Bros. Pictures, 2007), and Five (New Line Cinema, 2009)), the deal was extended. In 2006, the company also signed a deal with Sony Pictures, most notably distributing films under the Columbia and TriStar labels.

Today, Rocket Bunny Entertainment is most well-known for the Kernel & Rose x Harold: The Boy films and the Harold: The Boy spin-off franchise. They are also well-known for films such as Stoner, Leftward, Run, River Run, The Shroudbreaker, The Cursed Rogue, Legendary Storyteller, Stars of a Thief, Wild Rose, Art of the Trickster, the two Morningstar films, Being The Hero, The Attack of the Bayside Towns, As We Merrily Roll Along, Off Into The Horizon, The Light That Came To Me, Vinny Dreams, among others that have excelled over $600 million in box office sales. After Xavier Robun finally passed away on January 29, 2001, Sam Robun-Penton's nephew Norbert Robun-Penton took over the company along with vice executives with an 84% stake.

One of the company's biggest controversies is forbidding all American Disney Junior/Disney Channel Mornings airings of the Australian series Bluey, as well as prohibiting the sale of all affiliated merchandise and propaganda and even blocking all YouTube uploads from the show's official channel. While many millionaires (including Ludo Studio, The Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and BBC Studios) tried to take most of their currency due to the outrage based on the blockage, they were unsuccessful and Rocket Bunny's side of the war won. This prompted The Walt Disney Company to try to put an end to the company once and for all by purchasing 21st Century Fox's assets along with Rocket Bunny Entertainment, but failed to do so.

After The Walt Disney Company purchased 78% of 21st Century Fox's assets in 2019 including 15% of Rocket Bunny Entertainment, Disney spun them off into a new company called "Rocket Bunny International Investments & Properties, Ltd." (RBII&P) along with the company's subsidiaries after they failed to shut them down due to mass budget overtakes. In 2023, RBII&P acquired most of Disney's assets for $212 billion and shut down The Walt Disney Company soon after, stating that Disney is not staying true to their source materials and that it is failing to make back most of its economic state from theatrical releases and their streaming service, Disney+. Then, on March 23, 2024, the company revived the 20th Century Fox, Fox Searchlight Pictures, and Blue Sky Studios names for $285.4 million, stating that the three companies in past memory are what made fans' lives complete and how the companies were very pretentious at classic films. Today, Rocket Bunny Entertainment is now renowned as the #1 Most Acclaimed Movie Studio in the world, according to Universal Privilege, Global, Life, Total Film, HAF, Weekly Us, PHF Specials, and Rocket Bunny's website.

1st Logo (November 28, 1910-October 4, 1914)
Logo: On a black curtain background, a stylized Roman column is seen with a praetorian standing on top with a blanket wrapped around her waist, around two-thirds of the column, and onto the floor. The letters "R" and "B" in Bambi Gala are seen on both sides of the logo, held up by sticks. There is a black starry background on a wall behind the column. There are also clouds below the logo. Two "Made in USA" symbols (representing interstate shields) are seen on the bottom corners of the screen. Underneath the column, there is a dais plate reading "A FILM FROM Cliff Chandler (in Cliff Chandler's signature) AND THE ROBUN FAMILY AT ROBUN BROTHERS, INCORPORATED. After a couple of seconds, the logo fades out.

Variants:
 * Depending on the film quality, the logo may vary in different shades of colors, such as, , , , , purple, or.
 * A sepia-toned variant exists.
 * A hand-drawn variant exists, mainly used as an end card for some of the company's films. The "Made in USA" symbols are gone.
 * A version of the hand-drawn variant also exists where there is text reading "IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE TRANS-ATLANTIC FILM COMPANY and DOMINICK DeVOIS" (Another silent filmmaker from the early 1910s).
 * An alternate version exists where the camera is slightly off-angle and looks like it's facing up. As a result, a toplight can barely be seen. This may be due to bad camera work.
 * An off-center version is spotted where the logo is slightly tilted to the left. The "Made in USA" symbols are intact, but one of them is slightly cut off from the tilt as a result.
 * The logo can be seen in both dark and light contrasts.
 * As you can judge, the "Made in USA" symbols can either be visible or gone entirely. This can coincide with films that are not filmed in the United States, such as The Secret of Bao (filmed in China) and The Eastern Shore (filmed in Japan), as the brothers were constantly migrating during this time.

Trivia:
 * According to a 1969 interview with Xavier Robun (who would become CEO of the company from 1940-1980), the entire statue was made out of a model, built from linoliumated stone by three people (two sculptors Dane Heresch and Gertrude M. Lopski Sr., and senior assistant James Kolbert Hannick). The starry background was a painting made by artist Reverend Hewentroglytz, and the clouds at the bottom were made out of thin cotton (due to financial troubles at the time). The "R" and "B" letters are basically plastic models taped to plastic sticks inserted into holes in the base. Overall, he says the entire company logo represents a new elegant era of wonderful films and stories waiting to be told and is a symbolization of how wonderfully the company can grow.
 * The praetorian in the logo is actress Janie Baltman, one of the very first female actresses most notable for her role in the movie Lost and Found (1893), a film Cliff Chandler made before his sons formed the company 12 years later.
 * According to one of the studio's executives, James Losner, Sam Robun pitched several ideas for the company's opening logo, such as a three-soldier statue or the faces of Cliff, Sam, and Austin engraved on a monolith. Due to the latter being nearly impossible to engrave onto the silver, they ultimately settled with the statue of Pnevoma, a goddess to which the life forms are summoned to her through the call she blows at the top of the Olympian Column.

Technique: None, unless you want to count the fade-ins/fade-outs. This logo is entirely live-action.

Music/Sounds: None or the closing theme of the film.

Availability: Extremely rare. Most of their silent films of this time were destroyed, while some went into public domain and have resurfaced without this logo on the prints, or being plastered with the Rocket Bunny Classics logo. This is only known to appear on The Cycle, which is the only known silent film with this logo that is still watchable on YouTube or on Rocket Bunny networks. This can also be seen on The Greek, The Relative, The Mirage, The Sleep, The Footpath, and The Sundial, which are all in the public domain prints (although you might need to look for older prints, as newer ones have this logo cut or plastered).

Legacy: It's a good logo and a solid effort for the 1910s, with the statue looking gorgeous by today's standards. The statue would later go on to be used in all of the Robun Brothers' company logos until 1979, when the name changed to Rocket Bunny Entertainment, and still remains one of the most iconic and recognizable parts of old movie studios.

2nd Logo (October 17, 1914-September 1915?)
Logo: Same concept as before, but the logo is redone. The column is more shinier, the blanket is more wavier and curlier, the star background is different, the clouds are thicker (the actual cloud cotton they had used), and the "R" and "B" letters are more brighter and shinier. The blanket also appears to be a brighter shade. There is text saying "ROBUN BROTHERS INCORPORATED" in a Stencil font shaped like an arc above the statue. The logo is also shifted up a little bit to make room for the text "THE TRANS-ATLANTIC FILM CO." in Regular Gala, "THE HURON STUDIOS" in Noto Sans and "Robun, Chicago, IL" in Modern Sans below the statue. The first line seems to be in an upward arc while the second one looks like it is condensing with the arc styles of the first and third lines.

Technique: None, except for the fade-in/fade-outs.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Ultra rare. Like the last logo, this is hard to come across because most of their silent films of this time period were destroyed, while others went into public domain and have recreated titles using the Rocket Bunny Classics logo in place of it. This is only revealed to be on TCM prints of The House Card and RB Network prints of The Burrowers. It might be seen on other films, such as The Hail Mary and The Modern Day, but many public domain prints have this logo plastered. This was last known to be seen on How You Have, but the movie has not been re-ran in decades.

3rd Logo (1914?-October 1915?)
Logo: On a black and checkerboard background, we see the Robun Brothers print logo (the statue with the "R" and "B" letters on both sides and, once again, in Bambi Gala) in a circle in the center of the screen. The black letters "ROBUN BROTHERS INCORPORATED" in Stencil are seen in an arch above it (like the last logo), while the letters "THE TRANS-ATLANTIC FILM CO." in Moderna are seen below with "4922 Sidney Blvd., Robun, Chicago, IL." in Noto Sans.

Technique: None, except for the fade-in/fade-outs.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Long extinct. The only known appearance of this logo is on The Alberta Animals, but many prints of the film, aside from the RB Network airing, edit this logo out. However, RB Network hasn't re-ran the movie in decades. While there used to be footage of the logo online, it is now deleted and is only preserved in the minds of AVID editors.

Legacy None.

4th Logo (December 1915?-December 1919)
Logo: On a background with hills, a light brightens over the horizon and illuminates a cloudy sky. After that, the Robun Brothers statue zooms up from it, making the camera pan up so that the hills aren't visible. The "R" and "B" letters zoom up from the bottom and settle on both sides of the statue. Then, the text "ROBUN BROTHERS, INCORPORATED" in a thick Sans fades in on top, followed by the text "CLASSICS of the SCREEN" in Noto Sans, and "4922 Sidney Blvd., Chicago, IL." in Moderna.

Variants:
 * A color version was spotted on a print of The Lampooner, where the hills are, the sky is sky blue and the statue is with the text being.
 * On some films with firearms in its scenes, the National Rifle Association (NRA) logo is on the right side of the screen.

Technique: All live-action. Despite being made around 1915, this logo looks surprisingly good.

Music/Sounds: None or the opening/closing theme of the film.

Music/Sounds Variant: A print of The Lonely Angel uses the Richard Gafferty fanfare from the next logo, despite it premiering twelve years later, due to sloppy plastering.

Availability: More common than its predecessors, but still very rare. This can be spotted on some movies from the time if aired on TCM and RB Network, such as The Private War and The Life Leisure. Many have rumored for this logo to be on the movie The Regular Time, but all prints (including RB Network airings) remove it. This is also not seen on the Rocket Bunny Silents DVD boxset which contains movies of the era such as The Hard Way, The Dead Light, or The Play, as they are all replaced with the Rocket Bunny Classics logo. The only times this logo is shown on HBO or other silent channels is The Lampooner, The Lonely Angel, The Private War, and The Life Leisure.

Legacy: This logo has a memorable concept from silent film fans, which would later be reanimated for the next logo below.

5th Logo (1920-August 16, 1931)
Logo: Basically a redone version of the previous logo, and now done with more modern animation. The hill background looks more realistic and has trees on it instead of field bushes, the sky now has an alto-cumulus look to it, amd the statue rises up from the hills slower (in a more gradual fashion). The "ROBUN BROTHERS" text is now in a completely different font (called "Gazooka"), with "CLASSICS of the SCREEN" in Noto Sans as a result. A copyright notice is seen below as the text finishes animating. The background then fades out, along with the logo itself a few seconds later.

Closing Logos:
 * On the final scene of the silent film or on an abstract background, such as a shot of hessian or a plaid background, the text "The End" in a fancy script font facing diagonally is seen on the right side of the screen, along with the Robun Brothers print logo in a circle below that. The text "THIS HAS BEEN A ROBUN BROTHERS CLASSIC OF THE SCREEN" is seen below the print logo along with copyright notices.
 * On some films, when the background is white, the text and print logo will become black instead.

Variants:
 * Rarely, color releases use a Charleston green hillscape, a sky and a  statue, with the text being white. Color releases of films from this era are hard to spot nowadays, so you might have to look hard.
 * An extremely rare color version is known to exist with a dark green hillscape, a midnight blue sky, and a slightly darker shade of orange for the statue, presumably as if the logo is set at night. There is currently no existing footage or true facts about this logo's finding as of 2023.
 * Like the previous logo, the National Rifle Association (NRA) logo is seen on the right for films that use firearms.

Technique: Motion-controlled 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: None or the opening/closing theme of the movie. On If I Gave The World My Soul and Face Value, a dark-sounding organ theme played by Gustov Nevvemhebett is heard instead.

Music/Sounds Variant: Like before, on the 1990 VHS of Lowry's Love, the Richard Gafferty fanfare from the 7th logo is heard, presumably due to sloppy plastering.

Availability: Rare, bordering on very rare. Seen on its films from the time, such as The Last Act, Have Me Back, Silence from the Corner, and The Running Night Hour, but in some cases, the film begins right at its opening credits. Sometimes, the logo is plastered with a newer one instead. This logo first appeared on Can You Send Me a Letter? and made it's final appearance on Love Is A Fickle Thing.

Legacy: None.

6th Logo (July 1921?-1928?, August 13, 1930)
Logo: On a stony background, we see a modified version of the column logo. The praetorian's pose is slightly different, the lines on the column are not aligned, the blanket just ends instead of laying itself on the floor, and the everything is misaligned and looks more cartoonish. The "R" and "B" text is also different, with the text being in Liotta instead of Bambi Gala. The text "CLASSICS of the SCREEN" in Noto Sans and "4922 Sidney Blvd., Chicago, IL." in Moderna is seen below that.

Variant: A color version exists where everything is tinted in (particularly the background). This is only known to appear on a Movies! airing of That One Yellow Kid.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None or the opening/closing theme of the movie.

Availability: Ultra rare/near extinction. Was used in tandem with the previous logo, but many prints have this logo plastered or cut entirely. Once again, we can't count on RB Network airing movies with this logo anytime soon. Footage of the logo was seen on a TCM airing of The Pond Full of Lucky Ducks, but TCM hasn't re-ran the movie in years. The only known unedited appearance of this logo is on the RB Network print of The Stain.
 * This logo strangely made a re-appearance on the film Loitering, released in 1930.

Legacy: The more cartoonish look of this logo makes this one kind of an eyesore, especially with the misaligned look of the statue.

7th Logo (September 28, 1921-February 11, 1940, June 29, 1954, September 6, 1984 (75th Anniversary), April 8, 1999, September 7, 2009 (100th Anniversary))
Logo: On a black background, a rumpy line draws in separately. After this, the logo brightens to reveal a light shining over the same hill background from the previous logo (although in a slightly sharper resolution than usual). Then, the animation of the 1920 logo animates as usual, except with a few changes:
 * 1. The sky background is altered again (this time resembling more of a cirrocumulus type of sky).
 * 2. The statue is now more glossy-looking, looking like it is made out of brass. It is also no longer a live-action model, with it being noticeably static as it zooms in.
 * 3. The "R" and "B" letters are glossier and look enhanced.

After this, the text "ROBUN BROTHERS PRESENT" (once again, in Gazooka) in an arc fades in above the statue, along with "CLASSICS of the SCREEN" in Noto Sans (like the previous three logos). Copyright notices fade in on the hills, and then the logo either fades out or to the first visual of the film.

Closing Logo: Superimposed over the ending scene of the film or on an abstract background, the text "The End" in a diagonal, fancy script font is seen on the left side of the screen. On the bottom-right corner is the Robun Brothers print logo (this time without the circle), with the text "A ROBUN BROTHERS CLASSIC OF THE SCREEN" on the bottom of the screen beside that.

Variants:
 * For color versions, the logo's color palette can vary, depending on film deterioration. For almost all of Robun Brothers' color releases of this time, the hills are colored Charleston green, the sky is sky blue, and the statue and text are golden yellow. For The Titanium Tour, the 1994 VHS of Forest of the Subconscious and the 1995 VHS of The Winter Garden, the hills are while the sky is, and the statue is . For Bottlebrush Buckeye and Olympia Hill, as well as the 1999 VHS of Medium Heights and the 2004 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment release of Solemn, the hills are  while the sky is a slight darker blue, and the statue and text being.
 * Certain prints of September Nights have the logo in a slight light purple tint, making the statue look slightly dark violet, and the hills slightly burgundy.
 * An RB Network airing of Whitecap has the logo in a slight maroon tint, making the state and hills look slightly carmine.
 * On films that have the characters use firearms, such as Dying Games, Here Comes The Army, The White Reaper, Vilnius Capture, and Stop! Or The Police Will Shoot You, the National Rifle Association (NRA) logo is seen on the right side of the screen.
 * A byline saying "A DIVISION OF THE ROBUN BROTHERS ESTATE" is seen below the statue and above "CLASSICS of the SCREEN".
 * Sometimes, a notice for the Trans-Atlantic Studios or National Film Company can be seen below the logo. This can coincide with films that have been made in association with those companies from 1935-1949.
 * During the last few years of this logo's life, a widescreen version was spotted, where the "R" and "B" letters are farther apart from each other and bigger than usual.
 * On the movie What Do You Think, the byline and the copyright notices are removed.
 * On German prints of Beyond the Doubt, Bonding and Breaking and Korean Stewartia, the chyroned text "EIN ROBUN BROTHERS KLASSIKER DER LEINWAND" (A Robun Brothers Classic of the Screen) is pasted over the statue.

Closing Logo Variants:
 * Sometimes, due to the company's deals between the Trans-Atlantic Film Studio and the National Film Company, the copyright notice would be extended to "A ROBUN BROTHERS/TRANS-ATLANTIC CLASSIC OF THE SCREEN" or "A ROBUN BROTHERS/NATIONAL CLASSIC OF THE SCREEN" instead.
 * In some cases, the "ROBUN BROTHERS" reference is removed, leaving only the "TRANS-ATLANTIC" or "NATIONAL" notices, with the Robun Brothers bug intact.
 * On some films, such as Castor Aralia, The Winged Elm, Lucifer of Fredonia, Potpourri, The Deciduous Conifer, and Confrontational Vulnerability, the "The End" text is in a more simpler script font.
 * On Wisteria Pergolia and Crossing Bridges, the text is in Liotta (like the previous logo).
 * On A Special Kind of Man, the text (including the copyright notices) is in Century Gothic.
 * In very rare cases, the Robun Brothers statue bug is the same one used in the previous logo.

Technique: Motion-controlled animation.

Music/Sounds: None or the opening theme of the film. Starting with Stronger, released on December 30, 1931, a powerful, bombastic fanfare composed by the late Richard Gafferty is heard. A drumroll is heard first, which segues into a proud-sounding fanfare made with trumpets, along with shrill violin notes and drum hits.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On films such as Between Essence and Existence, Dana, The Persian Ironwood, Late Night Sex, Love Bullet, and the 1996 VHS of Please, Gertrude, the fanfare is in a different arrangement, also composed by Richard Gafferty. The drumroll is much louder, the brass section is more prominent, the violin notes are more shrill, and there is louder percussion during the final note.
 * On Timely (1940), a loud drumroll is heard after the last note, segueing into the opening orchestral rousing cue.
 * Sometimes, the theme will segue into the opening theme of the movie, coinciding with the fade.

Availability: Fairly common. For a time, this was used in tandem with the 5th logo before it lost much of its usage in the middle of the decades (with it being phased out entirely by 1939), but can be seen on almost all films produced by the company if aired on TCM, RB Network, Movies!, Decades, MeTV, Antenna TV, or late-night blocks on channels such as NBC, ABC, and The CW.


 * This logo survives on all prints of Timely, with the 1935 20th Century Fox logo preceding it.
 * This logo premiered on the movie Take a Drink, released on September 28, 1921, and then appeared on all of the films/shorts following it until Regular Men by Day, released on February 11, 1949.
 * The "TRANS-ATLANTIC FILM" notice version first appeared on Dead Voices and made its final appearance on Lead Cutters, although it made a surprise reappearance on the film Remnants of Exasperation (1943).
 * The "NATIONAL FILM" notice first appeared on Enki and made its final appearance on On Poppied Hill, with its final appearance altogether being the short What Makes You Special, although this has reappeared on the sister company's final films The Beaurecrats, Get a Permit at Saks, and Pondering the Benefits of Exercise.
 * The "ROBUN BROTHERS ESTATE" byline version can be found on The Fairgrounds Woods, Prego, How To Snatch Girls, The Southern Park, and Black Woman in Brooklyn.
 * It also appears (strangely) on the CBS/Fox Video release of Two For The Price of One, despite the movie being released after the estate split in 1944.
 * It also appeared at the beginning of some budget short films of the era, such as A Little Show, Wait Here (1946), Red Hide, The Southerner, The Talk, and Pelleter (1948), among others. It was also seen on the Magnetic Video release of the short Island on Another Planet before the film The Beaurecrats, as a teaser to the film The Discoveries Outside of Earth. Due to the tape masters or print dates, it can also be seen on the shorts Rifles All Around, The Price of Admission, Chicago War Criminals, and The Hundredth Picture, which all vary depending on the tape master's verfication or printing date.
 * The German version can only be seen on German scope prints of Beyond the Doubt, Bonding and Breaking, and Korean Stewartia. It was also strangely reported to be seen on a ZDF airing of Love Bullet.
 * This logo surprisingly reappeared on the film Death Proof, released in 1954, and Annontating Murder, released in 1999.
 * It also reappeared as part of montages in Rocket Bunny's 75th and 100th Anniversaries on September 1984 and September 7, 2009.

Legacy: The longevity of this logo, with it being used for 18 years, made this a very iconic one. However, it's not as iconic as the next logo..

===8th Logo (March 2, 1939-July 26, 1979, September 8, 1980-June 15, 1982, December 20, 1983, September 6, 1984 (75th Anniversary), January 4, 1992, April 24, 1997, December 1999, May 25, 2005, September 7, 2009 (100th Anniversary))===

Logo: On a black background, an animated flame blazing different shades of and, with white sparks being emitted from its complete combustion, fades into the middle of the screen. After a few seconds, the text "ROBUN BROTHERS PRESENT" (once again, in Gazooka, but with "ROBUN" on the top" and "BROTHERS PRESENT" on the bottom) in and  fades in on the bottom-right corner, with the flame taking its place atop the "R". Along with that, a more monochromatic drawing of the praetorian (also in )  fades in on the other half of the screen. The text then zooms into the screen, with it flying right in the process. The statue stays for a couple seconds before fading out.

Trivia: This logo was animated and controlled by Ibe Monhaviskaov and Associates, Inc. (now known as The I.M. Company) with conjunction with Tuckerton Framing and Statham and Monn. The logo took about 894 frames to paint the logo on and was produced entirely on a cel. Ibe Monhaviskaov and Associates would later go on to animate special effects for the company's films from 1948 to 1983, before the company's animation operators switched over to Tykaro-Cieljesses and Associates. Staff members such as Avil Amoosov, Patril Kervisov, Zgotzevny Vayshbaumov, Dzotgevet Yusupov, and Ahul Govenyapurov Rushinova were mainly responsible for animating the logo.

Closing Logo: Over the closing scene of the movie or on an abstract background, the text "The End" (with its font varying depending on the film) is seen above the middle, with "A ROBUN BROTHERS PICTURE" in Moderna below that. The Robun Brothers insignia inside a circle and with lines streaking out towards the left and right sides of the screen is seen.

Variants: Many variations for this logo were discovered:
 * For the logo's first years from 1939 to early 1940, the logo was in black & white. This is quite rare, as newer color prints were beginning their domination of many older film prints. Despite this variant being used for only less than half a year, this logo is the one that plasters the previous logos on their films, using the black & white version in place of it, although this doesn't happen often. This can be seen on current prints of films that used the previous logos, such as American Sweetgum, Couple, Redon's Fantasy of Venus, Round Court, and VHS releases such as the 1979 Magnetic Video release of Lighthearted Man Waiting On The Bus (other prints use color prints instead), the 1982 B&W Media Home Entertainment release of You Mustn't, the 1990 Madacy Entertainment release of Ruder, and the 1995 GoodTimes Entertainment and MGM/UA Home Video releases of When the Howls of War Settle.
 * An extremely rare prototype version of the black & white version is seen, where the "ROBUN BROTHERS PRESENT" text is different from the more iconic version, with the lines and alignments of the Gazooka text being different. This is only known to appear on Painting By The Glow of The Green Fairy.
 * 1941-1947: The text "CLASSICS of the SCREEN" is seen below the statue and text, with the logo as a whole being shifted up. Despite this being used for six years, this one is very hard to spot, due to current film transfers using the regular black-and-white version or plastering this with a current Rocket Bunny Entertainment logo. The only unedited appearances of this logo are Old Woman, New Man, The Ticket Box, the TCM airings of Once Love Has Passed, A Break-Up Happens, and RB Network airings of Fuega. It has been confirmed that the first movie to use this variant was Who Hates Girls?, though it is currently unknown what the final film to use this variant was (it was allegedly seen on the 1947 film Homage to Ashera, but many prints remove or plaster this logo). It surprisingly appears on the CBS/Fox Video release of Voices of Babylon (1945)
 * Flat: Arguably the most common variant: the logo is zoomed in a little bit. Presented in 1.37:1 academy or 1.85:1 "matted" widescreen, the logo appears to move somewhat faster than the widescreen version. The logo is pushed up to the point where the praetorian is somewhat cut off. This can be seen on many films that are shot in the format, such as West Africa, Cracked Out, Without a Man, The Definition of Retaliation, Heart's Desire, Crossing Sex, The Oligarchs, Dual Form, Sailing to Seine, To Whom It May Concern (1954), Forth, That's What You Get When You Mess With A Cat, Scratched!, Hoodlums On The Backlot, Larry Loud, The Hornbeamer, Celebrity Manhunt, Ice Ringer, Sniper Confidential, He's A Good Skate, There He Goes, Left Hand Low Baller, The Binman, Spiders, 72 to 87, Class of 20, Fifth Night at the Woolner Base, The Live Oakman, The Rookie, Seconds to Minutes to Hours to Days to Weeks to Months to Years to Decades to Centuries, In Rotation, Theodore Can't Get Out of That!, Fox Jeans, The Governsman, Yew, Inspired by the Olold, Away in a Manger, and The Nine Muses, among many others. This also appears on many VHSs released by Rocket Bunny Home Entertainment and Fox Video, with the masters retaining their respective aspect ratios.
 * Scope: The logo's aspect ratio is shown in a wide 2.20:1 or 2.35:1 widescreen ratio, making the praetorian's head inadvertently cut off. The "ROBUN BROTHERS PRESENT" text is also clearer. Seen on films shot in the format, such as Fire on the Hills, Split Ritual, Lintel, Waiting for Wings, The Death Shot (current prints), Rocchetta, Matra of Death, Vita, The Confirmation, Rednecker, The Three Fates, Karma, B*****tch!!, Hamilton (1969), Far Fields, Tender Yearning, Ferry of the Damned, The Call of Duty (1972), You Said, Bucci, Defend Us In Battle, I Trust In You, Phantom, Flame of the Viper, The Merciless Citizen, among others. This also appears on the Key Video release of Big Game, the GoodTimes Entertainment release of Inua, and the 1999 MGM/UA Home Video VHS of The Binman.
 * On Bullet Man and Within Cover, the "PRESENT" text is absent.
 * CinemaScope: The logo's aspect ratio is flatter, the column is zoomed out so that it fits the screen, and the logo and text are farther away from each other. The "PRESENT" text is also replaced with "PICTURES". After the text disappears, the logo fades to a snipe reading "ROBUN BROTHERS PICTURES PRESENTS" in Copperplate Gothic Bold (ala the 20th Century Fox version of the CinemaScope logo). Below that, the text "A", along with CinemaScope's corporate logo below that, is seen, with "PICTURE" below that as well. A copyright notice is seen as well. Despite many movies using this format, this logo was only seen in 16 movies: Luther, Beneath The Bodies, Zarco, The European Beaches, Summer Thinking, Pat and Pot, Kings vs. Queens, Garden State, The Psalmists (1965), Mrs. Robb's Bonnet Spurge, Ripper Bone, Detacher, A-881, Five Crimes, The French Guards, and Wave Hill, due to excessively high costs of employing the CinemaScope format to film cameras.
 * The very first CinemaScope release with this logo, the aforementioned Luther, had the "ROBUN BROTHERS PICTURES PRESENTS" text replaced with "ROBUN BROTHERS PRESENTS" with "THE VERY FIRST MOTION PICTURE IN", with the CinemaScope text below that. The copyright notice is intact.
 * Off-center: Seen on the CBS/Fox Video VHS of Take Her By The Tongue and the Magnetic Video VHS of By Brisbane Waters, the logo is slightly off-center, due to a sloppy job reformatting the aspect ratio of 1.85:1 into 4:3. Another off-center version has been alleged to appear on the MGM/UA Home Video VHS of Rednecker, but that release has long since been out of print.
 * Much of the time, the logo would be superimposed over the very first scene of the film, and the title of the film and credits would fade in over that.
 * A darker version is seen where the statue and text are darker, but for some reason, the flame retains its normal brightness. This can only be seen on the movies Tomorrow We Take Lives and Duplications of Species. It also appears on the 1996 Key Video release of Bodies from Australia and the 1997 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment release of Sierra.
 * An even darker version exists where the logo (including the flame) is barely visible. Only known to appear on the 1983 MCA Videocassette Inc. releases of Bingo! and The Experience Of Love.
 * A bright version is only known to exist on the 1985 Magnum Entertainment release of Why Is She Dancing Around Half-Naked?, the 1985 Key Video release of New Ages and on the 1987 GoodTimes Entertainment VHS of Vita.
 * A version where the text "XAVIER SAUL ROBUN" and "EXECUTIVE HEAD" are seen on the top-right corner of the screen. This can be found on films produced between the 50s, 60s and 70s. So far, the only films this variant appears on are I Forgot My Line, Ampersand, Lydia-Mary, Three Graces, Has Anyone Seen Larry?, Bring Her Alive, Come Back In Time, The Bathers, Excerpt of a Lost Forest, Jubilant Dancer, High Spirit, Carmelita, Wenuta, Inside The Mind, La Promenade, For Shame, Rat's Pond, Monet Bridge, To Marcel Duchamp, 1887-1968, Artist, Tool and Die Maker, and Albedo, while only CinemaScope films to use this are The Psalmists, Ripper Bone, and Detacher. For VHS releases, this appears on the 1992 Fox Video release of Wild Rose and Stars of a Thief, part of the "Rocket Bunny Classics: 1950s" VHS boxset, the 1993 releases of Without a Man and Hoodlums on the Backlot, the 1994 releases of He's a Good Skate, the 1995 MGM/UA Home Video release of Daydream, the 1997 Key Video release of Hercules and the Conquest of Atlantis, the 1998 GoodTimes Entertainment release of Lightning Bolt, and all Rocket Bunny Home Entertainment classics releases from 2000-2003 (VHS, DVDs, Laserdiscs, HD re-releases, and boxsets).
 * A version is seen where a tiny "INC." is squeezed in the middle of the bottom text; in this case, the bottom text is smaller. This is mainly seen on Western films such as Over The Fence That Crosses The Boundaries Between Hell And Heaven, Away, Fire Road, The Wandering Posse, Rio Rancho, and Western Stars (1953), but is also seen on Emergency! Emergency! Guy Caught Up On Rooftop!, When We Asked and Flight Fall.
 * A French version exists where the text "UNE PHOTO DE ROBUN BROTHERS PICTURES INCORPORATEUR" ('A Robun Brothers Incorporated Picture') is cheaply chyroned over the "INC." version of the logo. Only seen on the 1995 Multivideo VHS of Emergency! Emergency! Guy Caught Up On Rooftop!
 * On 3D films and 2D films that originally were planned to be released in 3D, such as Sniper Confidential, Under High Bridges, Shadows Painting The City, Rednecker, Do Go Forth, The Experience Of Love, The Four United Artists, Hollister Man, Bright, and The Binman, the praetorian is more three-dimensional looking (presumably made out of stone or some type of polished rock), and the "ROBUN BROTHERS PRESENT" text zooms closer to the screen as it slides off, with the "R" almost engulfing half the screen.
 * An extremely rare version is seen on older prints of short films such as Fight on Fire and The Let-Go (new prints have this plastered by the Rocket Bunny Shorts logo, especially on YouTube prints), where the text "SHORTS" is squeezed in the middle of the text, like the "INC." variation. The bottom text is now smaller.
 * A Spanish version exists where the word "PRESENTA" is seen in front of the "PRESENT" text.
 * A German version exists where the text "ZEIGT" is seen in place of "PRESENT". If you look closely, you can see that the text is chyroned in, due to it shaking differently.
 * Another German version exists where the Arial text "zeigt" is obviously more chyroned in, due to it being sourced from the wrong master and is standing still instead of shaking.
 * Another German version is known to exist on the German print of The Gods Can Be Killed ("Die Götter können getötet werden"), where the text "Robun Brothers anwesend" is seen in a cheap font below the logo. Footage of this variant was seen online, but it is now lost.
 * On the Persian release of Always Try This At Home ("همیشه این را در خانه امتحان کنید"), the translation for "ROBUN BROTHERS PRESENT" ("حضور برادران رابین") is seen in place of it.
 * On the TVB version of Hamilton (1969), the text is now in Chinese ("羅賓 兄弟 出席")
 * A TVNZ airing of New Ages has the "ROBUN BROTHERS PRESENT" text strangely absent from the logo, leaving only the praetorian. Most likely an editing mistake.

Closing Logo Variants:
 * On many films from the company from 1946-roughly 1976, the stripes on the side of the Robun Brothers insignia are removed.
 * Sometimes, another closing logo may precede this screen. As a result, the "The End" text is replaced with "Distributed by". The "ROBUN BROTHERS" text is bigger and the "A" and "PICTURE" is removed. Seen mainly on films made by The Seville Company, but can also be seen on films produced by Magnum S.F.I. (the original name of what would later become Magnum Entertainment in 1979) and Seven Arts Productions until 1967.
 * On many films, copyright notices for the respective companies may appear below the insignia. These include: The Seville Company (1952-1963), Magnum S.F.I. (1957-1964), Seven Arts Productions (1957-1967), and Harts-Flynn Productions (1960-1974).
 * Rarely, the text "Produced By" can be seen below the "The End" or "Distributed by" (with "by" replaced with "and") text, and "at Hollywood, California, U.S.A" below the insignia.
 * Films such as Hundred Dollar Heistee, Dating the Enemy, Dead Stealth, Cleaner Sweep, Mother In Her Pantsies, Take The Family Alive Instead, The 600 Heads of Walter Wimbledon, The Unclosed Cases of John Larry, Shadows Painting the City, Do Go Forth, Fire Road, The Mistakes, Get Out Of My Room, Lucky Them, Inua, Matra of Death, Two Poisoned Lips and Stay Where You Are have the insignia on a black background with the text "A FILM DISTRIBUTED BY THE ROBUN BROTHERS ESTATE" with the address 6467 Robun Blvd., Hollywood, CA." below that.
 * A French version exists where the "The End" text is replaced with "La Fin", and the "A ROBUN BROTHERS PICTURE" text replaced with "Une photo des frères Robun". In addition, the logo is slightly shifted up to make room for the text "Restez à l'écoute pour les prochaines versions à venir" ("Stay tuned for the next upcoming release").

Technique: All done in cel-animation.

Music/Sounds: Either:

March 4, 1939-June 11, 1968: A high, shrill six-part violin note is heard, followed by a loud, bombastic fanfare with a two-note brass hold, an orchestral hit, followed by a seven-note trumpet finish with a drumroll on the last note.

July 2, 1968-March 13, 1977: Same as the first, but at the end, the seven-note brass finish is replaced with a different eight-note brass fanfare with an echoing last note.

Both music tracks were composed by the late Halbert Higgins, mixed by John Hatt, Ive Petrovich, and Lott and Feger Rothstein, and performed by the Los Angeles Brass Orchestra. The second musical cue was recorded around March 25, 1940, about one year after the first musical cue was recorded on January 1939. The music as a whole is based off the track of the movie Hercules and The Conquest of Atlantis (1938).

Music/Sounds Variants: So many variants were discovered that they will be placed in two separate sections:

General variants
 * Much of the time, the opening theme of the movie would play over the logo (most notably used on variants, which can be found here).
 * Very rarely, the logo would be silent instead. This is used at the end of made-for-TV movies made by the company, such as Faye Kern: The Worst Actor In The World, Ganbaatar: The Mongolian Killer, Puhoe: The Lost Army Leader, and Jullian Dimierhuye: The Fearless Climber Who Died At The Very Top of Mt. Kilimanjaro. It is also used on the movies It Takes All Kinds To Make A World and Bed.
 * On some films, such as Several Months Before You Were Born, I Married A Man Who Wasn't Your Father, Stoked Up To Terrorize Chicago, Mohr's White Pines, Pete Grady's Blues, The Spot in The Forest, Alana!, Five Miles Behind, Hot Shaker, Resting Places, and Big Missoula, a proud orchestral fanfare composed by Max Steiner (composer of the 1937 Warner Bros. Pictures fanfare) is heard instead. The cue was recorded as early as 1938, but wouldn't be used until 1945's Stoked Up To Terrorize Chicago.
 * The CinemaScope variant has the last note held out much longer, and a timpani roll is heard with it.
 * Sometimes, the music will sound slightly detuned, due to printing or mastering errors.
 * May 1939-October 1940: One of the most well-known versions of the theme from the late 30s. Strings are louder while brass is quieter, with drum beats heard along with it.
 * June 1939-January 1941: Modified version of the theme, with more quiet brass and more prominent strings.
 * November 1939-March 1941: Heavily modified opening theme with a more "lighter" sound, with prominent woodwinds.
 * March 1941: Specially-modified opening theme for a one-shot movie called The Pain Garden, with a different key in the first section of the theme, said to be arranged by Milt Franklyn.
 * March 1941-June 1945: Heavily modified opening theme, now at a faster tempo and with more brass, second most-well-known version.
 * May 1945–July 1946: Abridged opening theme, now dominated by brass and woodwinds (except for The Great Adventure; with the sole exception of the final movie with this theme, The Gilded Relic, where the logo's theme was extended for a Scope snipe that went unused).
 * June 8, 1946, October 20, 1951: On As We Merrily Roll Along and The Judgement Day, a slightly re-orchestrated version of the theme (sounding like the closing theme of Erotica Tropicallis) is used.
 * July 1946–June 1955: Abridged themes. Heavily modified opening and closing themes done in a "goofy" manner. Was still used for the Valorant Digital reissues of movies originally released up to 1955. This version also accidentally shows up on I'm Not Stopping (June 22, 1957) in place of the May 1955 theme.
 * May 1955–July 1964: Heavily modified opening theme, this time arranged by Milt Franklyn, with the shrill violin note sounding like it was recorded on a track synthesizer and the main orchestral suite sounding slightly lower-budget. Sparsely used for Valorant Digital re-issues of movies from this era, such as Gaby, The Hempstead Man, We the Parties Speak, Pirates from Space, Nuts To You, Midnight Ride to Seattle, Greatest Banes, Meteor (1958), and The Tackle Warehouse.
 * In 1968, Robun Brothers colorized many of its black-and-white movies for airing on color television. The 1979-1980 prints of these movies plastered its opening black-and-white version of the logo and closing logos/variants with the more contemporary "redefined color" design (in most cases taken from the 1956 movie You Sly Dog) with a 1967 copyright disclaimer plaster onto the original, but the original closing movie's audio remained intact. In many cases, the second half of one of the 1945-53 themes would play underneath the opening, but a few redrawn prints with these logos (such as My Dearest Mate and An Ill Wind) have the entire opening theme play underneath. Also during the closing, you could still hear the closing theme of the film (where the Robun Brothers closing logo would appear on screen), but a lot of the time, it would be blacked out and replaced with a Rocket Bunny Entertainment copyright notice. In some cases, the copyright notice would fade to a still version of the Rocket Bunny Entertainment logo.
 * A few of the 1990s digital colorizations of these movies feature this logo with the 1946-1947 opening track playing over the opening logo instead (the later version with the shrill violin note at the beginning). This was not how the movies originally started, and was an error made during their colorizations. Such examples include Be Kind To One Another and Picture Notes. The ending titles, however, features the correct closing tracks that they originally utilized. This also happened on the recent HD restorations of Veep, Presidence, The Hempstead Man and Greatest Banes when recently aired on MeTV.
 * Clean versions of the 1947 and 1948 closing themes, without the tracking errors, can be heard on Robun's Travels travelogues Alps' Climbs, Basel's from Beauty, Paris' Enchantment Paths, and Tokyo's Time Travels.

Custom tracks and plastering errors:
 * October 1946-November 1946: A fast-paced opening theme (which sounds like the opening theme to the movie Wild Rose) is heard, and more dominated with woodwinds.
 * November 1946-January 1947: Similar to the October 1946 theme, but has some of the more distinct traits in the theme now.
 * March-early July 1947: A slower-paced version of the above opening theme.
 * Late July-early September 1947: The opening theme now begins with a rising orchestral note before the actual theme plays.
 * Late September 1947-early January 1948: The opening theme now has a largely woodwind-dominated arrangement, same went for the closing theme.
 * Late January-July 1948: The opening theme is sparsely modified, same closing theme version as late September 1947.
 * August 1948-early January 1949: The opening theme is now dominated by brass and strings. The closing theme is also adapted from the opening version beginning in November 1948.
 * Late January 1949-early September 1950: This is the second most well-known version of "Hercules' Romp". It is heavily modified, and the first "perfected" version of the opening theme. Same closing theme as November 1948 version.
 * Late September 1950-March 1951: Opening theme modified somewhat, which sounds like a hybrid of the August 1948 and late January 1949 versions. Same closing theme as November 1938 version.
 * April 1951-March 1965: Most well-known version of "Hercules' Romp". Heavily modified, more "brassy" opening and closing themes. The long version continued use through the Valorant Digital reissues of movies originally released prior to December 1948.
 * A slight variation of the end theme, with a livelier finish, was used on I Said Go and Mating Season, as well as the Valorant Digital version of Please, Gertrude.
 * May 1955-June 1965: Abridged opening theme, same closing theme as April 1941. Was still used for the Valorant Digital reissues of movies originally released up to 1955.
 * June 18, 1959: On some prints the Valorant Digital reissue of Eolith, the 1946 arrangement of "Hercules' Romp" played over the closing title, which is typically the norm for former Robun Brothers movies from 1946-48 reissued as Valorant Digital prints of films.
 * May 1965-July 1974: Heavily modified opening and closing themes, this time arranged by Milt Franklyn, with the high shrill violin note sounding like the highest key was pressed on an early instrumental emulator. Sparsely used for Valorant Digital reissues.
 * July 1965: Opening theme sparsely modified by Milt Franklyn, most notably with a different shrill note at the beginning, only used on The Hidden Clues. Closing music is unchanged.
 * October 1966-July 1974: On Taking the Oath, Valorant Digital reissues of Robun Brothers shorts, and the end of Robun Brothers travelogues such as Angkor Wat's Gods and Shenzhen's Sights, the 1946 or 1955 arrangement of "Hercules' Romp" was used.
 * Occasionally, MGM/UA releases had the 1949 Valorant Digital variant plastered over the "color restored" version of the logo while retaining the 1941 arrangement of "Isn't it Lovely?". This can be seen on The Truth, The Whole Truth, and Nothing But The Truth, featured on international releases of the Rocket Bunny: Best of the 50s VHS boxset.
 * On current prints of the movie Out and About in Jacksonville, Florida, the Les Baxter-composed fanfare from the 1959 American International Pictures logo is used. This is mainly because Samuel Z. Arkoff (one of the founders of said company) directed the movie. Despite that, the AIP logo never appeared on any original theatrical or video prints of it.
 * On current prints of the Paramount film Alas, The Man Perishes (which Robun Brothers acquired the rights to in 1976), the Paramount VistaVision fanfare is heard over this logo, due to sloppy plastering. Thus, the logo is slowed down in a poor attempt to fit the music in.
 * Additionally, on current prints of City on a Pendant (1948; an RKO Radio Pictures film that the company acquired the rights to in 1978), the RKO Morse Code beeps are heard over this logo due to sloppy plastering.
 * A print of the Dutch film "Vukerspet vul Gigenspaät" had the Southern Turn Film Finances theme playing over it, most likely due to reverse plastering errors with the rights of both Robun Brothers and STFF's previous distributor, Hammemnere Distribution.
 * In some cases, the previous logo's Richard Gafferty theme will be heard instead, possibly due to sloppy reverse plastering or an incident intentionally set for the film.

Availability: As this was around for a good 40 years, it is extremely common, making it the longest-used logo in all of classic cinema, although this is very slowly being winded down for Rocket Bunny starting a plastering habit nowadays. This logo is seen on a staggering amount of their classic, theatrical, off-net syndicated, and made-for-TV movies from 1939 to 1979.
 * To put a sentence mildly, this logo debuted on The Irish Brigade and made its final appearance on Sidney Boulevard. Although this logo retired at around that time, this was used sporadically on early-80s productions here and there, such as The Core (1980), Deadly Instincts (1980), Emanation, S.O.X., We Take You, Schatz's Spaceship, Good Riddance, Great Mercy, Seville, and The Boob Bottle before this logo's usage went kaput again.

Black & White
 * The black-and-white version is fairly common, as it can be seen on various films from the era before the logo's transition to color in 1951. Despite Robun Brothers starting a mass colorization of all of their black-and-white movies for airing on color television, this version is not too hard to find at all. The films known to include this logo are Listening to Mist, Kiss in the Rain, The Wind Dancer, Taleta, Norway Spruce, The Lost Orchard, House in the Park, Peacock Run, The Bathers, Pillars, Remnants of Iwopa, Forgiving Fran, Rapunzel's Tree, Respect the World, I Died As An Immortal, Zeus and Hera, Audacity, The Little-Leafed Linden, Jack's Promise, The Chicken Hide, Two Shot Lead, Sacred Sum, Reclining Refugal, God Bless America, For They Have All Sinned, The Viscerals, Praise Me, The Witch Flip, and Symbols of the Abyss.
 * It can also be seen on the 1949 TV movie Here's To Us, the Forum Home Video release of Two Minutes Until The Marriage, both Key Video and Media Home Entertainment releases of Coming To A Rest, and the 1992 MGM/UA Home Video release of They're All Over. It's also spotted on a very early Magnetic Video print of Western Stars (released in 1953), strangely, despite the company making color transitions two years prior. However, that release has long since been out of print, so you can't count on that being spotted anytime soon.
 * Strangely, this does not appear on the U.S.A. Home Video release of Pillars, nor does it appear on the VidAmerica or NTA Home Entertainment releases of God Bless America, For They Have All Sinned, the latter due to a tape mastering error.
 * The version is, oddly enough, spotted on a TCM airing of The Red Baron (1957), plastering its variant and fading to the opening shot instead.
 * The same case happens on another TCM airing, this time on Remnants of Iwopa, plastering its original variant and fading to its opening scene.
 * It was also rumored to happen again in Movies! airings of both The Bathers and Race for Love, but Movies! hasn't rerun those films in years.
 * The B&W version was spotted on an original RB Network airing of Nearly Gone, but all current airings use the color version instead, due to Robun Brothers' mass film colorization in 1968.
 * The B&W version was also seen on the Australian Magnetic Video print of Race for Love.

Color version
 * The color version is ultra common, given its long usage. It can be seen on almost (if not) all of Robun Brothers' films of the era from 1951 to 1979. Such famous examples include The Shroudbreaker, The Cursed Rogue, Wild Rose, Stars of a Thief, A Long Way To Go, Art of the Trickster, Stoner, The Legendary Storyteller, Leftward, Fate of the Morningstar, Revenge of the Morningstar, The Red Land, Run, River, Run, Shores of Gold, Free Male, The Spot in the Forest, Alana!, Runners of 1962, Rocchetta, Lift it Thirty, Vita, The Nine Muses, Has Anyone Seen Larry?, Carmelita, Wenuta, The Sun Sets Behind The Houses and Hamilton (1969), among many others.
 * It can also be seen after 15-minute intermissions of films that are over 2 hours long, such as the aforementioned Hamilton (1969), as well as Wild Rose, Art of the Trickster, The Legendary Storyteller, Stars of a Thief, Run, River, Run, Free Male, Rocchetta, The Nine Muses, Vita, and The Sun Sets Behind The Houses.
 * This version is also seen on many color TV shows produced by the company throughout the 50s, 60s, and 70s, such as the long-running Courtyard by Airport, along with Island Cliffsides, Drek: The Lost Castaway, Vorona: Black Leader of Africa, Dalian: Voices of Babylon, Strike on Britain, May God Rebuke Him, Slowly Dying, We Humbly Pray, Sujui: The Non-Existent God, and Face Slicers.
 * It also plasters some black and white prints of shows with the B&W logo, although this doesn't happen often. Notable examples of this happening are Lange Road (1938-1945), Otuak: The Congo Chase (1941-1946), and Kantel & Guan: The Early Western York Mob (1946-1957). Most other shows have the B&W variant intact.
 * Many prints of these shows have the logo as an in-credit notice, but sometimes, the animated logo appears after the credits. This is only known to happen on the final season of Our Newest State and the third season of You Rather Knew.
 * It also appears on many game shows the company's executives served roles in, such as Two Loss Lead, One More Try!, Race Across The World, Avalanche!, Power From Two, and the Ross Bollinger game show Elimination! (which the company's executive animators, Snežana Polkumshetnev and Fastojan Nfikola, served as one of the show's prime animators)
 * Speaking of Ross Bollinger cartoons, this logo also appears as an animated in-credit version on the shows 21 Street, Where's Albert? and very early episodes of The Adventures of the Backyard Kids (1974-1989) due to many of the show's animators (such as the aforementioned Snežana Polkumshetnev and Fastojan Nfikola) leaving Robun Brothers in 1968 to go work at Bollinger's production company, Pencil Ventures.
 * This also appears on certain prints of various Terrytoons cartoons, such as 50s era prints of Mighty Mouse and 60s era prints of Heckle & Jeckle.
 * Although it lives on almost all of its movies, the only instances where this logo strangely doesn't appear is on a TCM airing of Respect the World, RB Network airings of both They're All Over and I Said Go, a late night ABC airing of Free Male (1951), The Art (1955), A March Week (1958), Famous For Everything (1959), The Sixty Carnages (1962), Heart of the Murdered (1965), The Horseback Leigh (1967), Alviro Animado (1968), the French films Le fléau de l'humour (The Bane of Humor; 1972) and Les chats de Vienne (The Cats From Vienna; 1974), the Japanese film フォロー・ミー・トゥ・ユートピア (Follow Me to Utopia; 1975), the shorts Felicity, Saw You, Fixing Friends, The Unanimous Term, Blonde Focus and Double Entendre (as MGM acquired the rights to all of these in 1989; the only short it appears on of that era is Where Did They Go?) and current prints of the films Hearing Love, American Boys, The Lost Groups, The Bastard That Killed My Grandfather, and The Challenge of Storne, as Warner Bros. acquired the rights to the former two, while Columbia acquired the rights for the latter three.
 * It also doesn't appear on films the company made while striking distribution deals with other studios (such as Warner Bros. Pictures and Columbia), such as Storm Over Tibet, The Story of Will Rogers (both 1952), The Man Behind The Gun, So This is Love, Fort Ti (all 1953), Red Hawksman (1954), Walking Out, Mister Roberts, Blood Alley (all 1955), Helen of Troy, Off West End (both 1956), Shoot-Out At Medicine Bend (1957), The FBI Story, A Summer Place (both 1959), One Point For Bluey, Cash McCall, Hannibal (all 1960), The War on Palidrus, The Steel Claw (both 1961), Sail a Crooked Ship, Samar, Lad, A Dog (all 1962), The Running Man, 4 For Texas (both 1963), Dead Ringer, FBI Code 98, Matter of Facts, Cheyenne Autumn, Strait-Jacket, Lilith (all 1964), The Great Race, Bunny Lake is Missing (both 1965), The Bobo (1967), Kona Coast, Chubasco, Anzio, Seven Guns for the MacGregors (all 1968), On My Way To The Crusades, I Met a Girl Who.., Lock Up Your Daughters, Hamlet (all 1969), Moon Zero Two, Five Easy Pieces (both 1970), Dad's Army (1971), and Rage (1972) due to both Warner Bros. Pictures and Columbia Pictures having to shield the company's identities from their crediting score to save money from the currency troubles at the time. By 1972, Robun Brothers announced that they would cut their deals with both Warner Bros. and Columbia.
 * Strangely, the only three films that this logo appears on (as an animated in-credit notice) is Violent Road (Warner Bros., 1958), Rome Adventure (Warner Bros., 1962), and Born Free (Columbia, 1966). It is not retained on the DVD release of the latter, as it is chyroned by a snippet of the ending scene of the film.
 * This logo also makes appearances on many films that were distributed by overseas companies, such as The Rank Organisation and Hammer Films. Notable examples of this are Green for Danger, Fast and Loose, Delayed Action, Lease of Life, Above Us The Waves, Suspended Alibi, Just My Luck and The Man Who Liked Funerals, among many others.
 * It also makes appearances on various UK pre-cert prints of TV movies, such as Faye Kern: The Worst Actor in the World, Ganbaatar: The Mongolian Killer, Puhoe: The Lost Army Leader, Jullian Dimierhuye: The Fearless Climber Who Died At The Very Top Of Mt. Kilimanjaro, At The Dawn Of 1968, Emmet: Our Last Hero Of This Small Town and Welsie: Woman, Father, Officer. It does not show up on the pre-cert version of the TV movie To Which We Stand Free, out of all of the movies it appears on these prints.
 * This logo is unfortunately plastered by the Warner Bros. Pictures logo on the Warner Home Video VHS release of Presidence (a movie to which Warner Bros. acquired the rights in 1988).
 * It is also plastered by the MGM logo on the acquired films An Ordinary World, Orange Julian, The Perishing Ward, The Soldier's Test, and Thirty-Five Amazing Lives, but the MGM logo does not appear on For What You See, with it instead fading right to its opening scene (with Robun Brothers being mentioned in the credits).
 * It also does not appear on the 1992 VHS of Broadway Pays The Bill for some odd reason. It may either be due to a mastering error or inconsistency.
 * Even through all of these company stakes throughout the years which have the Robun Brothers logo plastered with something else, a lot of Columbia-owned Robun Brothers films (such as Hand Like Tree, Cecyna, The Art, Women In Strip Tub, The Open House, and The Pea Shooter) still keep this logo intact.
 * This logo was surprisingly spotted on TVE airings of GBM (1987) and Completely Shattered (1992), most likely due to being sourced from botched masters.
 * A Freeform airing of the Rankin-Bass special Rudolph's Shiny New Year had this logo strangely replacing the 1975 Rankin-Bass "Blues" logo. Most likely due to sloppy reverse transfers.
 * Due to many conversed deals with various distributors forking over 25% made from their films transferring it to Robun Brothers Pictures, it can be spotted on a staggering amount of independent movies from other studios (such as Liene M. Drase Associates, Mathouse Pictures, Joelle Marthel Pictures, Image Ten, C.S.A. Film Associates, and American International Pictures), such as Management Material, Stay At Dawn, Love Strike, Spiders, Fall Down II, At Mere Mortality, Hey, Chum!, Finding Farley, Juggle Muggles, JL Mane, Not a Kid, Pond Draught and How I Made Back The World.
 * This logo strangely appears on the AIP films Try It On and Domination Atlas, despite Robun Brothers not being involved with the production or distribution assistance of these films.
 * This logo makes re-appearances on the films Freaks On The Streets (released in 1983), Head Grounds (1992), Ark Encounterers (1997), The Wahzoo (1999), Izzy (2005), and both the company's 75th Anniversary (1984) and 100th Anniversary (2009).

Legacy A wholesomely iconic logo due to its long lifespan (40 years) and sporadic usage on a myriad of classic films, but it is also the last logo to feature the iconic praetorian logo before the renaming to Rocket Bunny Entertainment in 1979.

Background
After the release of Lollywood on October 15, 1978, Robun Brothers Pictures merged with an independent film distributor Brennans Entertainment Corporation to form RB Film. The joint venture disbanded in early 1982 due to box office failures of the films from this deal, economic troubles being given from the hands of Brennans Entertainment Corporation, and due to the full rename to Rocket Bunny Entertainment.

(October 21, 1978-March 13, 1982)
Logo: On a black background, we see the bold text "RBFilm" (with "R" being in, "B" being in sky blue and "Film" being periwinkle). There are filmstrip sprockets running down "R" and "B".

Trivia: This logo was created by Jonathan Gayy as part of a planned rebranding of the company in 1977 before the merger.

Variants:
 * Films such as I Wield Guns For A Reason and Hetty have the logo as an in-credit version, scrolling up with the credits.
 * On Bourbon Bangers, the "R" is maroon, the "B" is munsell, and "Film" is mandarin orange.
 * On the 1991 VHS of Only Kane Saw The Enemy, the closing logo appears in . This is most likely a mastering error through the color print's 35mm negative.
 * The 1992 VHSs of B-52 (1979), Shades of Red (1982) and Tytans (1982; the latter being the final two films with this logo), a rare variant is seen where the whole print logo is tinted brink pink. This may also be due to an error with the film's processing system editing over its 35mm negative.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None or the closing theme of the film.

Music/Sounds Variant: On the RB Network airings of B-52, the second half of the Lucasfilm Ltd. fanfare (a re-orchestrated version of the final notes from the end title medley of Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back by John Williams) plays over this logo. This all ties down to the fact that George Lucas (founder of said company) was involved in the production of the film (as both the director and lead producer) and wanted to use his credit in the movie. The network was originally going to plaster this with the Lucasfilm Ltd. logo but failed to properly do so, resulting in the said editing error.

Availability: Very rare. This was mainly used as a closing logo and was never originally used at the beginning of the era's films according to their continuity scripts. Most films that had this logo (such as Tied To A Table, The Lost Day, My Sanity, Americans/Australians and Girl Tracks) were plastered by the current Rocket Bunny Entertainment logo as part of their current plastering habit, although some well-received films from the deal (such as Bourbon Bangers, Hetty, Shades of Red, Tytans, and Only Kane Saw The Enemy) keep this logo intact.
 * This logo was said to have made its first appearance on the film The Lost Day, with its actual debut being on My Baby, and its final appearance being on Tytans.
 * Some in-credit versions of the logo on recent prints have it blacked out, leaving a space between the copyright notices and the organizational logos between them.
 * This logo is plastered by the 1981 Rocket Bunny Entertainment logo on the 1995 VHS of I Wield Guns For A Reason.
 * Many prints of films do not have a logo whatsoever, just going straight to the dubbing credits on streaming prints. This mostly occurs on films the company made with 20th Century Fox, such as House, Barrel, The Devo, and Whiptease.
 * Movies! has this logo intact on Girl Tracks.
 * This logo is also intact on the Rocket Bunny Classics DVDs of both Bourbon Bangers and Shades of Red, as well as the Rocket Bunny Classics Blu-Ray release of Hetty.
 * It is currently retained on the DVD releases of Hell, I Went Over And Met A Guy You Didn't Know About, My Sanity, The Drug-Addled Clubs and Only Kane Saw The Enemy.

Legacy: This is one of the more iconically least-memorable logos from the company, as the early 1980s were a not very good era for the company due to box office failures of films.

Background
After Robun Brothers Pictures was merged with Brennans Entertainment Corporation to form RB Film in 1978, a planned rebranding of the company was underway during the merger. Vice executive Martin Brashcher suggested the full-time name change to Rocket Bunny Entertainment, due to his suggestion of basing it off of one of the greatest animated movies of the 1950s, The Rocket Bunny. In 1979, three years before RB Film's official disbandment, the name was changed fully to Rocket Bunny Entertainment and as of 2023, Nate Timely (the main character from the 1940 animated musical film Timely) is the company's official mascot.

1st Logo (September 4, 1979-November 28, 1981, December 1982)
Logo: On a black environment, a silhouetted person (with the top of it shining) walks away from the camera into an opening door which releases a lot of light. As the door opens more, it reveals an inner room where we see Nate Timely on a ladder, fixing the "y" in the word "Rocket Bunny" in an Atomic Script font. The text is screwed onto a base plate on a brick wall, along with paint splats, a paint bucket, and a wiring system. Nate Timely turns to the camera and gives his iconic thumbs-up pose as the light from the opening door (which also reveals the Arcade Dome from Vinny Dreams) engulfs the screen, turning the logo into print.

Variants:
 * The logo will sometimes be still at the end of movies, or scrolling up with the credits of a movie.
 * O'Halloran! The Celebrity Manhunt Story (1980) has the logo tinted burgundy, representing the color of the character Blaineley's clothing from the film.

Technique: Early cel-animation from Tykaro-Cieljesses and Associates with assistance from Kierwathams Productive Systems.

Music/Sounds: Either the closing theme of the film or none, although sounds of walking and squeaking noises as well as a whoosh are heard on the films The Curse of Styx and Look Over Me.

Availability: Was near extinction, but after 2008 re-runs of movies from the late 70s, this logo has fallen to uncommon. Like the previous logo, this was also used as a closing animated logo and was never originally used at the beginning of the logo's films, according to their continuity scripts. The animated version can be seen on the films Trinomial, How I Ate Three Blind Mice, The Storm In The Desert, The Curse of Styx, Look Over Me, His Meister, Bodies At Ground, Death Wail, Five Days To Leave, An Inconspicuous Group, Plastic Ricochet, and the documentary film ''O'Halloran! The Celebrity Manhunt Story'' if re-ran on RB Network and late night blocks of channels.
 * Also surprisingly found on the Key Video release of What Good Times! released in 1982.
 * It was long rumored that this logo appeared on the 1979 film Do What I Must? Well, If You Can, I Will Do So As Well!, but all home video prints and network airings of the film remove it or plaster it with the current Rocket Bunny Entertainment logo. The only way you can see the logo is on the Magnetic Video release of the film from 1980. However, that release has long been since out of print after Magnetic Video went defunct, so you can't count on that being in your collection anytime soon.
 * Prior to 2008, this logo was nearly impossible to come across, due to rampant plastering in the hands of other distributors through their cut-tied deals with the company, as well as blacking all animated closing logos out with the closing scene of the film with its soundtrack intact (on some films with the logo having sound effects, you can faintly hear them over the closing soundtrack). Films of this era such as Five Days To Leave, His Meister, The Curse of Styx, and Look Over Me suffered this as well, first with a fifteen-second black screen with the ending of the soundtrack or the sound effects playing over it in the case of The Curse of Styx, Look Over Me, as well as Lather Him In Love and Moon In Xo, then plastering with the next logo on post-1981/pre-1995 prints of Trinomial, His Meister, Death Wail, and Baruni, then with the 1989 logo on pre-2008 prints of Three Mouth Man, His Meister, Look Over Me, The Curse of Styx, Lather Him In Love, Trimonial, Death Wail, An Inconspicuous Group, How I Ate Three Blind Mice and Baruni, until older prints of the films with the logo intact started to re-surface on the networks.
 * Up until 2008, the only way you can see the logo was on RB Network airings of O'Halloran! The Celebrity Manhunt Story (which does not have the film's custom logo variant carried on with the network's film transfer).
 * Was also believed to appear on the 1995 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment release of the 1980 film Make Out, but that release (as well as its Blu-Ray re-release and other releases of the film) blacks it out.
 * It also used to show up at the end of the 1979 TV movies 10$ For Taking On The Dons Of Spain! and What About Missouri? and the 1980 film The Trails of the Bison, but current airings plaster it with the Rocket Bunny Television logo.
 * Is also eternally plastered on the film Moon of Xo due to it now being in the public domain.

Legacy: While this logo is known for being the first logo under the current studio's name change, this logo is also infamous for being lost for a decade before being rediscovered.

===1st Logo (November 30, 1981-May 27, 1984, September 7, 1984 (75th Anniversary)-April 26, 1989, September 15, 1992, March 18, 1996, February 2, 1999, July 27, 2004, October 11, 2008, September 7, 2009 (100th Anniversary)===

Logo: Over a rotating starry sky, four bright stars fly out from all corners of the screen, meeting in the middle, while illuminating small portions of an invisible rectangle. After they meet and explode, a nebula cloud illuminates all details of the Rocket Bunny Entertainment logo, while bright lines draw its outlines afterward. The "y" in "Bunny" on the wall is hanging on by the tail. After the nebula cloud fades out, Nate Timely becomes animated, notices this, and fixes it right-side up, causing the logo to burst into light and turn the logo into print. The background also disappears as the logo shines brightly as a copyright symbol fades in.

Closing Logo: The last few seconds of the logo (starting at when the space background fades to black) plays, while the text "DISTRIBUTED BY" in an Arial Narrow font is seen above it. Below the logo are several copyright notices and distribution fine consequential notices. The logo also doesn't shine brightly.

Variants:
 * For Rocket Bunny's 75th Anniversary in 1984, the large number "75" in Palatino would appear around the logo and after the background turns black, the text "YEARS" would flash in below the logo, along with "NOBODY DOES IT BETTER" fading in below.
 * On the film Moon at Sunset (the last film released before the 75th Anniversary variant ceased usage), the "NOBODY DOES IT BETTER TEXT" is removed.
 * A black-and-white version is seen on films that have this logo plaster over films in said colors, such as Listening to Mist, Remnants of Iwopa, Forgiving Fran, Rapunzel's Tree, Respect the World, Zeus and Hera, and I Died As An Immortal, although this doesn't happen a lot nowadays.
 * On Love At Its Finest, Sex Off The Bridge, Tremoil At Five, Raining Rocks, Skinned Buckets, Fitting Bills, Two Dead Leaders and All The Way At The Darkest Side Of The Moon, the logo just zooms in on the background instead (as a result, the illumination of parts of the rectangle is removed).
 * Films released from 1983 to roughly 1987 have the text "and" above the logo and "PRESENTS" below it. This mostly occurs on the films the company made with other major distributors.
 * On current prints of Golden Stars and God's Country, as well as the Blu-Ray releases of He Once Walked The Waters, Skinned Buckets and Fitting Bills, the logo is cut down to its last couple seconds.
 * Some films such as Turn Up Your Collar, Swiatowid, As Present, the 1987 VHS of Raining Rocks and the 1989 VHS of Two Dead Leaders, the logo is cut short to where the flash takes place on an entirely black background, and the regular logo's animation (sometimes, the variant animation) plays as normal.
 * A rare variant exists on the 1989 VHS releases of both Golden Stars and Bringing Back The Sunshine, as well as the 1991 Laserdisc release of God's Country, where the backgrounds appear swapped (black background first, then space background). Probably due to mastering errors along with sloppy editing.
 * On the 1989 VHS of Better Leaders, the logo is tinted in a bright . Possibly due to an editing error from failed processing systems through the master's film negative.
 * Also, the 1992 VHS of Bringing Back The Sunshine has the logo slightly darker (looking like it's tinted ). Could also be due to mastering errors through the film's negatives.
 * Independently made films (such as A Lick That Ends With A Scar, Red Sun, Cocaine Socks, Bad Black (both Brumm Company films that were originally distributed by Paramount that were sold to Rocket Bunny for distribution in 1989 due to the box office failures of these films), Facing Couples, One Of Two, Have A Cow!, White Plains, Guns At Eyes, A Widowed Victim, Luxmond, Bomber's Paradise Island and Amorpheous (1989)) have the text "P I C T U R E S" underneath the logo.
 * The sound demo pre-cert release of the canceled The Dysfunctional Astronauts has an audio graph on the left side of the logo (due to the filmstrips having to determine how many decibels are in the movie before release; the cancellation could be due to failing audio systems).

Closing Logo Variants:
 * Many films have the logo be still for the closing logo.
 * On films such as Kathy B, Dark Hoods, Lunar Brilliance, Kordell, As Present, and Sirens, as well as Sirens II: Revenge of the Queen, the logo is zoomed in to fill the screen's width.
 * Many films released from 1985 to 1989, such as Ground Zero, Running Yorksmen, Wall Blow, Devira, Projekt 1067, Here Today, Gone Tomorrow (1988), Trauma, If You Hate Me, Written By Assheads, Make It Rain, A Widowed Victim, Double Quoting, Tegan, Falling In Reverse, Guns at Eyes, Luxmond, and Omega and Bucket, as well as 'Love At Its Finest, Sex Off The Bridge, Tremoil At Five, Raining Rocks, Skinned Buckets, Fitting Bills, Two Dead Leaders and All The Way At The Darkest Side Of The Moon, the zooming variant of the logo is used as the closing version instead.
 * November 30, 1986-February 16, 1988: Films of this era, such as Luxmond, Double Quoting, Falling in Reverse, Seventeen Pistols, If You Hate Me, and Pain and Sorrow have the logo shine brightly at the end of the logo as it fades out, which was not the main animation idea for the variant.
 * March 21, 1988-April 26, 1989: The logo shines brightly at the end before the logo fades out. This could be due to the logo staying for a few seconds longer. Seen on mainly the last films from the company that used this logo, such as MLP (My Little Pee-face), Red X, Omega and Bucket, The Forbidden Interest and What Comes Next? (itself the last film to use this logo)

Technique: Amazing 2D animation from Tykaro-Cieljesses Associates, which served as Rocket Bunny's animation replacement studio (as the CEO of Ibe Monhaviskaov and Associates, Kaptav Hosheerwaek and the vice CEO David Katlan, along with 67% of executives from the company left to be hired at Tykaro-Cieljesses, thus rendering that company bankrupt in 1982).

Music/Sounds: A low sonic whoosh followed by a loud explosion-type noise as the stars fly out. A loud bang is heard. It is then followed by an ascending string theme that turns into a proud orchestral fanfare which winds down as Nate becomes animated. Squeaks and electrical sparking noises are heard, followed by a "click", a buzz, and a cracking explosion noise as the fanfare gradually finishes. The music was composed by Warren Baxter.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * Films such as Turn Up Your Collar, As Present, Raining Rocks, Taking Cracks, Have A Cow! and The Warning (1983) remove the electrical sparking sounds and squeaks.
 * On the 1990 VHS of A Widowed Victim, the sonic whoosh is removed, possibly due to audio channels being omitted on the audio tracking.
 * On the 1991 VHS of Delphy, the logo's audio channels are swapped around with each other.
 * Additionally, a certain release of One of Two has the logo's audio track out of sync (but with the sounds, strangely, still in sync). These could also be due to audio tracking errors.
 * On the sound pre-cert release of The Dysfunctional Astronauts, the sounds are much louder (this could be because the company has to determine how many decibels movie theater speakers can hold up before they release the film at their second studio building; the releasers forgot to tune the masters to their original volume, thus causing poor feedback over their test projects and having to can the production of all pre-released media).

Availability: Fairly common. Can be seen on many Rocket Bunny Entertainment films/independent films released from 1981 to 1989, such as God's Country, Walking Down, Two State Solutioner, There Are Two Kinds of Bibles, Refugee, As Present, Taking Cracks, Gwen, Raining Rocks, Echoes And Reflections, Have a Cow!, The Warning (1983), Turn Up Your Collar, Ground Zero, Skinned Buckets, Fitting Bills, Tremoil at Five, They Lost, Guns At Eyes, Make It Rain, A Widowed Victim, Luxmond, Omega and Bucket, Sirens, among many others.
 * This logo first appeared on the 1981 film And The Rockets Red Glare before being put on a brief hiatus after 1984's Dead Lead. This logo continued usage after its 75th Anniversary in 1984, being first used on Smooth Jazz and was long rumored to make its final appearance on Manson, released in 1989, but actually last appeared on What Comes Next? released two days after Manson.
 * The 75th Anniversary variant appears on the films Talking Fat, Crystals Over Lava, Two Linebackers, Gwen II: Taking Back England, Delphy, and Moon at Sunset. It surprisingly appears on the 1984 VHSs of Taking Cracks and The Warning, despite those films being released in 1983 (a year before the company's anniversary).
 * This plastered the 1979 logo on pre-2008 prints of Trimonial, Death Wail, Baruni, and His Meister, as well as on the 1990 VHS of O'Halloran! The Celebrity Manhunt Story.
 * Unfortunately, this logo is plastered by the MGM logo on the 1994 and 1995 MGM/UA Home Video releases of The Bush, Major Tom (1985), Inside A Bird's Mouth and Through Twelve Holes.
 * The "PRESENT" variant can be seen on the films Waltz of the Flowers, Fire Fields, Number 11, Flashing Guys, as part of the opening credits of Celebrity Manhunt: Bombs of Hot Glory, The Problems With Families, The Blue Smoke (all co-produced with 20th Century Fox (now 20th Century Studios)), The Last All-Talking Picture, Black Heart, They Wanted, Smart Love (all co-produced with Columbia Pictures), To Stand Tall, Across The Waves, The Night Storm, Blue Thunder (co produced with Paramount), Rodman, The Eagle's Snipers (both co-produced with Universal Pictures), Bangui, Stage On Fire, They Play, Sing, and Talk, Goon Squad, He's Good Enough, Flying Out Of Siberia, Summit, and The Corrupted Players (all co-produced with Warner Bros. Pictures), as well as Pain on a Plane, Smoking Bunnies (co-produced with New Line Cinema), A Stage Show (co-produced with TriStar), Midnight in Austin, A Rock And A Hard Place, Ramp, Kiss The Devil's Son, The Red Bong, Ted Lasso and Call Pregnant Women (co-produced with MGM).
 * Despite it being an independent film, the variant surprisingly appears on the 1987 film He Deserves Less, and is even more strangely preserved on all releases of the film.
 * There are many instances where the print logo can be seen at the end of Warner Bros.-produced films that the company allegedly distributed in counties such as Serbia, Slovakia and Macedonia from 1984 to roughly 1993, such as Gremlins, The Killing Fields, Purple Rain (all 1984), The Color Purple, Seven Minutes of Heaven (both 1985), The Mission (1986), Nuts, Empire of the Sun (both 1987), Running on Empty, Dangerous Liaisons, The Accidental Tourist (all 1988), Dead Bang, The Stars From Above (both 1989), GoodFellas, Memphis Belle, Graffiti Bridge (all 1990), JFK (1991), Unforgiven, Blinding Lights (both 1992), and The Fugitive (1993). However, releases of the films outside of Serbia, Slovakia and Macedonia don't show the logo or mention it at all and replace it with the Warner Bros. "Shield of Staleness" logo on the films instead; it is rumored that only localized in-credit Rocket Bunny logos were used alongside the Warner Bros. logo in certain territories, such as in Kosovo, Albania, Serbia and Czech Republic, since the majority of the overseas Warner Bros. posters released at the time do not often show the logo and it is credited in text only, commonly in very small font size. However, there are instances that the print logo can be found in the original Czech (and Montenegro) theatrical posters and press kits of Overnight Dead, as well as on the late 1980s re-releases of The Mission (also seen in the Albania re-release poster), Dangerous Liaisons and Unforgiven. It is also seen on random New Line Cinema posters in the Czech Republic and Albania such as Hairspray, Eat the Rich, Communion, Heart Condition, Metropolitan, Repossession, and Drop Dead Fred as well. In line with Warner's full control regarding distribution of their material, other Rocket Bunny logos, such as the 75th anniversary logo as well as showing of Robun Brothers Animation shorts, are not allowed to be shown in Warner and New Line films.
 * Many of the Czech-quad posters of Warner/New Line films released during this period incorporate the Rocket Bunny print logo design guidelines while replacing the print Rocket Bunny logo with their corresponding logos, for example, the Warner logo for The Color Purple, Dead Bang, and The Stars From Above and the New Line logo on Drop Dead Fred. A handful number of Czech-quad posters do not have any mentions of Rocket Bunny at all, like in the case of The Goonies and The Accidental Tourist.
 * The Starz Encore prints of What Good Times! has this in place of the 20th Century Fox logo that was originally going to precede it.
 * Remains intact on the 1990s VHS releases of Make Money And Be Happy, released in 1973, and can also be seen on the DVD boxsets of the Yew trilogy and Celebrity Manhunt franchises.
 * However, it is not preserved on the 1999 VHS of Delphy, as the next logo plasters it instead.
 * Is also not intact on the Discovery Family, UP, or Movieplex airings of This Is A Stick-Up, released in 1988 due to it using a later film master. It also does not appear on the latter's airings of It's Time To.., only the MGM logo appears.
 * It is intact on the Cinemax airings of Tremoil at Five, which is strange considering that all film prints, aside from Home Video and DVD releases around the time of the first airing were being updated with the current logo.
 * Also seen on pre-released test media prints of cancelled movies such as Efflorescence, I Repeat, Penn and Teller's Absolute Madness, Hands In The Air! and The Big Birdie.
 * The B&W/color-faded version used to be pretty common, but is now very rare due to the 1939 Robun Brothers color version being used after 1968's mass colorization for television.
 * The aforementioned variant, however, can strangely make an appearance on the 1985 Magnetic Video release of Audacity.
 * Makes surprise appearances on the films Find Your Seat (1992), Alcohol Kills Dogs (1996), Fine Tea (1999), Leg It (2004), I'm Free, Baby! (2008), and montages from both the company's 75th (1984) and 100th anniversaries (2009).

Legacy: An iconic logo for those who grew up with it, but it's not as notable as the next logo below.

===2nd Logo (April 30, 1989-March 16, 1999, December 8, 2003-September 2, 2005, October 13, 2007, June 21, 2008, April 4, 2009, September 7, 2009 (100th Anniversary), February 8, 2014, July 11, 2017, March 18, 2022)===

Logo: We pan down from a dark, giant archaic structure to reveal a room (the Arcade Dome from Vinny Dreams) filled with wilting and burning plants (burning on one side, wilting on the other, some well-grown plants are seen in the distance). The same silhouetted person (who now resembles Patrice Blaze, Nate's secret partner during the capturing of unexpecting people by traveling the dream zone) walks out from the front and makes her way to the back. Throughout this, the camera is slowly zooming out. it zooms out so far that it reveals the inner room where Nate Timely (now in a different design by Jacob Chabot) is seen fixing the "y" in "Bunny" on a stepladder. The "y" buzzes on and flashes, making the "Rocket Bunny" text glow. Nate turns and gives his "thumbs-up" pose as the sign's light engulfs the screen and turns the logo to print on a black background. The logo shines brightly.

Variants:
 * Starting with Harold: The Boy: The Movie 2 in 1996, the entire logo is updated in CGI. There are now embers floating out of the burning plants, the top of the silhouette's hair now shines, sparks are falling off of a hang-light in the distant wall, wires are hanging on the right side, the wiring systems and the paint cans are now in 3D and are more detailed, and sparks now fly off when the text lights up. Nate is also now re-created in CGI.
 * The re-prints of Zeus and Hera, Audacity, Listening to Mist, and Remnants of Iwopa have this logo plaster over the black-and-white Robun Brothers logo. As a result, the logo is in black and white.
 * A dark black-and-white version can be seen on Movies! airings of The Little-Leafed Linden.
