Dream logos

This is my sandbox, aka where all of my Dream Logos go. As I said on my main page, I have been thinking up stuff to add to the gargantuan library of movies, shows, and music all owned by the multi-trillion dollar conglomerate and movie studio, Rocket Bunny Entertainment. Rocket Bunny Entertainment, just to give you a sneak peek, was founded in 1909 by allied filmmaker Clifford "Cliff" Chandler Robun, and his sons Austin Robun-Viltfeld and Sam Robun-Penton to form "Robun Brothers, Incorporated" after the former established an uncharted studio on Sidney Blvd. in Chicago, IL. on February 16, 1905. It would eventually thrive to become one of the largest movie studios in the United States (and internationally) and is one of the "Big Seven" studios, along with 20th Century Studios (formerly 20th Century Fox from 1935 to 2020, and would revert back to the original name after one of the companies' closures in 2023), Paramount Pictures, Sony Entertainment, Universal Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Walt Disney Pictures (before it was closed down by this company in late 2023).

Some things to know about my logos:

• I am not an expert at drawing logos on software, so this page will be imageless (even if it looks really interesting from your perspective). I don't want to make messes on MS Paint, PowerPoint, or any form of drawing software so that they will not come out looking hideous.
• This company is most definitely not real. It is entirely made up and stored in my brain for over 3 years, and I've been waiting a long time to express the logos' looks on this wiki (I got the idea from a ripoff CLG Wiki, entitled Your Dream Logos with different page parts). Think of Marvel's What If.. but with dream logos instead of superheroes (sorry about the plagiarization, AlmightyKingPrawn). I think of this as part of an alternate Earth in my brain.
• Due to me being completely used to the term "Editor's Note", I will say that instead of "Legacy". I will keep the "FX/SFX" version "Technique", though.
• I will put "Author's Notes" underneath "Editor's Note" at times to show my thinking behind the logo and how I thought up the idea of it.
• I'm not the best at coming up with original phrases, so you might read some phrases explaining logos that sound kind of familiar (if you revert back to other pages).
• One more time. This is all fake. Do not ever place it on the wiki or make a page dedicated to dream logos. I want to stick with AVID's rules as much as I can.

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 1983, 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. In 1985, the company signed a distribution deal with Warner Communications Group (now Warner Bros. Discovery; through Warner Bros. Pictures and Lorimar), which was originally each ten films long. But after a large amount of box office successes (such as United We Stand, Divided We Fall (Warner Bros. and Malpaso Company, 1987), The Madelyn Conspiracies (1989), The Draw Rider (Lorimar, 1990), Aeo and Run & Gun (both 1992; latter produced with Lorimar), and Between Universes (1994), the deal was extended. After New Line Cinema became a subsidiary of AOL Time Warner in In 1996, 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, stating that the show's fundamental purposes and Australian culture does not translate well to an American audience and through a new rule that character designs have to be sent out to the company's agency to verify a gender (if a character has verifiable features of a female (with eyelashes, a high, excited voice and a bow on head) or a male, (with a low voice, bowtie, or no eyelashes), they will be accepted into the American media, which Bluey and other characters did not pass). While many millionaires (including Ludo Studio, The Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and BBC Studios, the companies behind the show) 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, as shown below.

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.

Robun Brothers, Incorporated

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 green, red, yellow, blue, orange, purple, or gray.
• 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).

Editor's Note: 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.

Author's Note: I took logo/variant ideas from the 1912 Universal Pictures logo and the Oz Film Company logos. I know I'm plagiarizing, but look back at one of my rules. I'm not the best at coming up with original stuff, okay?

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.

Author's Note: Once again, I took references from Universal Pictures' old logos.

3rd Logo (1914?-October 1915?)

Logo: On a black and gray 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.

Editor's Note: None.

Author's Note: I'm just sticking with many Universal references, but I promise I will try do do something original next.

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 green, the sky is sky blue and the statue is gold with the text being yellow.
• 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.

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

Author's Note: While the term "Classics of the Screen" may sound similar to Warner Bros. Pictures' 1925 logo, this logo was actually made before that company's first logo premiered, so just take my word for it. I also used this for the next logo as well.

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 blue sky and a orange 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.

Editor's Note: 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 purple (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.

Editor's Note: 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 lime while the sky is turquoise, and the statue is yellow. 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 green while the sky is a slight darker blue, and the statue and text being orange.
• 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.

Editor's Note: 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 red and orange, 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 magenta and teal 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 magenta) 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, Red Skies At Night, Me And You, The Warned, Fire Storm, Bullets From Afar, The Definition of Retaliation, Aloft, Mohr's White Pines, John Kelley's Lust, Under Fire, The Dead West, Lester Martins, Ann Brahl of Devinsberg, Inua, Run And Take Cover, The Rapture, Satan's Rain, 1860: The Burning Date, The Union Has Fallen, Down The States, Farewell Friends, Nothing We Can't Do, Melon, Concrete Jungle, Only One Escapes, Larry Loud, The Hornbeamer, The Priceless Pagoda, The Cases of Lucas Congrey, The Triple Wielder, The Gun Made of String, Falling Up, Celebrity Manhunt, Yew, Inspired By The Olold, The Arresting, Done For, The Last Seven Days, Confederates of Columbia, The Governsmen, Germany, The Royal Guardsmen, The Order, Wild Rose (some current prints), 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).

Editor's Note: 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.

Author's Note: This logo's idea comes from the 1961 Woolner Brothers Pictures logo. When I first saw it, I was like, "Yeah! This would fit perfectly for an iconic film company! But what to name it aside from Woolner.." and that's how Robun Brothers' iconic opening logo was formed.. by me. Everything else (aside from the linked companies and Image Ten) is made up.

RB Film

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 teal, "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 gray. 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.

Editor's Note: 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.

Rocket Bunny Entertainment

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.

Editor's Note: 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.

2nd 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 films such as Acheron, Ezu, Kutsusetsa, Arcturus, Tartarus, Sunset Sandstorm, The Bird, Cycles, Raining Rocks, The Catcher in The Rye, Sonic Waves, Aeo, Skinned Buckets, Luxmen, A Glimpse In The Mind Of David Warspielberg IV and Shotgun Marriage, 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, Acheron, '"Ezu, Kenos, and Sunset Sandstorm, the logo is cut down to its last couple seconds.
• Some films such as The Movie You Watch, Loose Ends, The Catcher in The Rye, 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 pink. 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 gray). Could also be due to mastering errors through the film's negatives.
• Independently made films (such as Hard Machine, Labor in Arizona, Ammo Night, Firework, Allegiance, Sky Tech, Acu, 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), Thanatophobia, Sex Bombs, Starlight, Acu, Dash Hearts, Seven Homeless Kids in Burnaby, Luxmen, The Demon's Galaxies, My Abandoned Bongs, Seventeen Wives, My Rotten Chances, No Vacancy and 2929) 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, Luxmen, and No Vacancy, 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 Luxmen, 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 Kordell, Red X, No Vacancy, The Forbidden Interest, Manson, 2929, 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 Kowareta, Nine Circles, The Keys Don't Fit, Seventeen Pistols, Per Day, Avernus, Pain and Sorrow 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. This may be due to a mastering error with the tape's processing and sound tape cassettes.
• Additionally, a certain release of One of Two has the logo's audio track with weird stereo mixing (but with the sounds, strangely, still in its normal sound system). 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 Acheron, Kowareta, The Keys Don't Fit, Ezu, 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, Double Quoting, Kutsusetsa, The Bird, Cycles, The Warning (1983), Trauma, Ground Zero, Skinned Buckets, Fitting Bills, Tremoil at Five, They Lost, Guns At Eyes, Make It Rain, A Widowed Victim, Luxmen, Sunset Sandstorm, Power Trip, 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 Silent Drugs, Two Linebackers, Gwen II: Coming 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 HBO Max print 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).

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

3rd 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.
• On current prints of Harold: The Boy: The Movie, Knife Wielders Crossing, Denali, and Kernel & Rose x Harold: The Boy, the logo is cut down to its last couple seconds.
• 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.
• On a French airing of Sector 113 (1991), the "ENTERTAINMENT" text is translated into "DIVERTISSEMENT ET MÉDIAS" ("ENTERTAINMENT AND MEDIA" in French).
• Like the last logo, on independent films produced by the company, such as The Sentence Of The Moon, Acid Factory, Twin Star, Amplification, Denali, Hell's Mountains, The Swerve, Magnetic Substances, Bloodlust, Moro, Fire Hunters, Unnoticed, Mind Control, The Loss of Voice, Aeo, The Undiscovered Horizons, Knife Wielders Crossing, Xyon Nebu, Ouarebu, The Floor, and Peter Wilson have the "PICTURES" text replace "ENTERTAINMENT".
• On Kijiji Cha Wanaume (The Men Village), Hilo Linafanya (That Does It) and Nje Kwa Kiungo Na Kwa Mguu (Out On A Limb And On A Leg) (three Swahili films produced by the Congo-based film company Kisangani Film), the logo is alongside the Kisangani Film logo.
• On The Administrators, the logo is above the Balue Filme logo.

Closing Logo Variants:

• Films from 1989 to late 1996 have the last few seconds of the logo play in a more zoomed-out aspect ratio. After the logo flashes, the words "DISTRIBUTED BY" appear on top of the logo. The text "A unit of Rocket Bunny International Holdings, Inc." along with a copyright date below.
• A handful number of films, such as Thinking Space, Keres, One Fine Noon, Tucking Tail, Missile Barn, Harold: The Boy: The Movie, Yasura, A Wonderful Time of Street Shooting, Pom Pom, Nine Mississippi, The Hunted Opera Woman and Catcaclysm have the logo only shown shining.
• Very rarely, some films such as Tryptymechanopohiba, The Inflict and Regional Target have the logo shine in a looped form.
• A lot of other films have the logo just shown still, with the "DISTRIBUTED BY" text and byline shown below it.
• Films such as Red Hurricane, Good Friday, Seventh Sunday, American Teen, Prepare For Landing, Practical Effects, The Money is Burning, Enemy Pie, Drug King, Leave The Building, The Pacific, Kureyu and Speak Softly And Carry A Big Stick, among many others have the logo shown still.
• The film Shakipiyo (1992) has the logo alongside the Kadokawa Film Institute and Sanrio Films logos.

Technique: The 1989 version was done at Tykaro-Cieljesses Associates, while the 1996 variation was done at Pixar Animation Studios, the animation backing company for the company's CGI-animated films before Disney acquired it in 2006.

Music/Sounds: A low sonic whoosh, followed by sounds of footsteps. If you listen carefully, you can hear crackling of flames from the burning plants. The whoosh in the background gets louder as we zoom out into the inner hall. The sound of the door creaking open is heard faintly, as well as buzzing from the sign. The squeaks from the hanging "y" and sounds of electric sparking noises are heard. A loud swoosh is heard (if heard in stereo, pans from the right channel to the left), followed by the sounds of pinging and shining.

Music/Sounds Variants:

• Films such as Harold: The Boy: The Movie, Kernel & Rose x Harold: The Boy, Red Hurricane, Knife Wielders Crossing, Denali, The Melting Head, Havana, Leave The Building, Pom Pom, Cataclysm and One Fine Noon have the opening theme of the movie playing over it.
• Sometimes, the logo is silent.
• The films Slots and Bingo, The Alps Are No More, Barrel Reeling, Bowling Green, and Kureyu have the sonic whooshes play only (meaning the sound effects are removed).
• On current prints of Beer and Coffee, Dover Oilers, Damn, I'm Exhausted!, Tea Breakers, Black Beauty and The Jester With A Cigarette (not including Kernel & Rose x Harold: The Boy, Harold: The Boy: The Movie, Knife Wielders Crossing or Denali, which has the opening theme of the movie playing over it), the last part of the sound track plays.
• On current prints of Fire Fields, Number 11, Flashing Guys, The Last All-Talking Picture, They Wanted, Blue Thunder, Ted Lasso, A Stage Show, Midnight in Austin, A Rock And A Hard Place, Ramp, and Kiss The Devil's Son plaster the 1981 logo with this one, but they keep that logo's fanfare (this is only present on HBO airings; RB Network and other channel airings have the correct logo audio track).

Brøderbund Releasing

Background

Brøderbund Releasing is the film division of Brøderbund Software founded in 1980 by tech and film entrepreneurs Kevin Awes, Levin Prenter, Heather Gresman, Damian Kaythi Saatchi, Ann Beillen and Wallace Kingston, who previously worked at MGM/UA Communications. In 1982, it started to manufacture holding rights for various companies (The Palidrus Company, Silicon Lights, Lady Hawke Films, Chloris Films, StauBurt Pictures and Cryptovision), making them under full ownership of MGM/UA. After MGM/UA was bought out by Giancarlo Peretti in 1989, Brøderbrund Releasing's assets were spun off to 20th Century Fox (now 20th Century Studios) for further distribution, with 30% of the company's assets being acquired by Rocket Bunny Entertainment. After Peretti's company, MGM/Pathe Communications, dissolved in 1992 due to lawsuits, MGM re-acquired their assets and forced Rocket Bunny to lay off their assets from a major budget cut. Kaythi Satchi, Beillen, and Kingston left to work on their four-hour shift jobs at Rocket Bunny Entertainment in 1995, and several assets of the company were sold to Rocket Bunny Holdings (owner of Rocket Bunny Entertainment's assets) to save money. During that time, they opened a division of the company, Bronze Films, to produce lower-budget films. Many box-office failures of said company's films caused the company to close in 1999. Not having enough money to keep itself in operation, Brøderbund Releasing closed in 2004 and portrayed itself as a sub-division of MGM for future releases. In 2007, the company was revived by MGM and United Artists to make themselves a universally ambiguous sub-division for future film releasing being only distributed through United Artists. When United Artists was re-branded to United Artists Releasing in 2019, the company forced themselves to merge with 50% of MGM's assets to become distributed through the new company and an entirely new loan amount. Today, almost all of Brøderbund Releasing's films are owned by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and United Artists (exceptions, such as Of Course We Won't (1989) are owned by a 75% stake in The Palidrus Company, owned by Rocket Bunny Entertainment, as a whole being owned by 20th Century Fox (same applies for the next two films through asset acquisitions), Teaching Ten, owned by Hemdale Film Corporation, Blue Vampires, owned by Orion Pictures, and Half a House, owned by Columbia Pictures).

1st Logo (March 13-July 23, 1981)

Logo: On a midnight blue background, the "Broderbund" text (in its corporate font of the time and in sky blue) zooms towards us, but without the line in the "o". Before it stops, the triple-crown symbol (in gold) turns in on top of the text. A blue bar with the text "RELEASING" on it slides up from the bottom and settles below the text. After the bar settles, a light flashes in the "o" and creates the "slashed O" on it when it fades out. The byline "A division of MGM/UA Communications Co." fades in below everything.

Variant: A variant exists where the background is darker and the logo appears to be filmed. This is actually a kinescope of the videotaped version shot through a Magnum 89XP camera.

Technique: Motion-controlled animation. Done at Teqi Pine Picture Company.

Music/Sounds: A low ascending and descending synth theme (with the pitch getting higher each time), ending with a synth laser zap.

Availability: Extremely rare.

• This logo was only used for four months, and as a result, only appears on three films: Gray Skies (1981), Death At A Football Game and Walking The Grounds.
• Gray Skies (with it being owned by TriStar with a 25% stake in MGM and a second stake in Fox and Rocket Bunny) retains this logo on all prints (with it being preceded by the 1985 MGM lion and 1981 20th Century Fox logo) and Death At A Football Game retains this logo on DVD releases and TV airings (with other editions having it plastered by the 1985 MGM logo), but Walking The Grounds has this logo plastered by the 1972 WB "\\'" logo or the 1984 "Shield of Staleness" logo depending on the mastering date.
• The only way you can see this logo on Walking The Grounds where it is not plastered by the WB logo is on the 1982 Betamax release of the film, produced by Warner Home Video logo.
  • Was rumored to appear on the 1985 or 1989 VHS releases of the film, but both have it plastered with the 1984 "Shield of Staleness" logo.
• Does not appear on Something For The Pain, as Brøderbund Releasing was not fully involved in the film despite Wallace Kingston being involved as the lead producer.

Editor's Note: This logo was infamous for being lost for a few years before being rediscovered.

2nd Logo (November 18, 1981-May 11, 2004, August 15, 2007-February 8, 2020, December 12, 2020, March 3, 2021)

Logo: We pan across a purple floor with a neon sky blue grid in a rumpy fashion. The camera pans up and we see a castle made out of Brøderbund's triple-crown symbol over a navy background. The "Broderbund" text in cerulean rises out of the ground, turns 45° downward, and moves down as the castle rises out of the ground and settles above the text, turning gold. The grid fades out as a carmine-colored rectangle with the text "RELEASING" fades in below as a laser flashes in a cut through the "o", forming its stroke. Then, an MGM byline fades in below everything as the logo shines.

Bylines:

• November 18, 1981-June 13, 1992: "An MGM/UA Communications Company"
• July 29, 1992-November 16, 2019: "An MGM Company"
• November 25, 2019-February 8, 2020: "Now Released Through United Artists Releasing" on the top, and "An MGM Company" on the bottom.

Variants:

• Depending on the film quality, the red bar may either appear brick red or vermillion.
• On films such as Wade, Pura Vida, Repellion, The Prevent, Staying Out, Farmer Refuted, The Mangery, Earth, Wind, and Fire, How Will I?, We Can't Do Something I Tell You, and Satisfied, the banner instead reads "MEDIA GROUP".
• On Syfy's prints of Blacks vs. The Snakes, the movie's title is superimposed over a majority of the logo and fades out when the "Broderbund" text appears.
• A print version of the logo (surrounded by a box) can be seen at the end of the company's films and surprisingly at the start of I'm Too Pretty and The World Was Wide Enough.
• The 1993 VHS of Metallic Piranha and the 1996 VHS of Chrome Teeth has the logo in open-matte.

Technique: CGI animation from C1A1 Entertainment.

Music/Sounds: A more synthesized and re-arranged version of Brøderbund's medieval-sounding theme, accompanied by a laser zap. Composed by David Bram, Harold Stuvvam, and Wallace Kingston Jr. Otherwise, it is either silent or the opening theme of the movie plays over it.

Music/Sounds Variant: On current prints of Pura Vida, the "MEDIA GROUP" variant has the 1995 MGM roar play over this logo, due to sloppy reverse plastering.

Availability: Very common, while no longer current.

• Debuted on Red Hot Ladies Dancing Through The Fire and can be seen on all of the company's films up until Soldier Warp 9, released in 2020 (with all films having this being preceded by the MGM logo), although some current prints of films such as Dead Sky, How Will I?, Glad To Be With You, Escape to Freedom and Twenty Four Little Gunmen have this plastered by the 1995 MGM logo.
• The "MEDIA GROUP" variant first appeared on Magic Chairmen and allegedly last appeared on How Will I?, released in 1997, but it took until March 2023 to find out it actually last appeared on Human Centipedes, released in 1999.
• This variant made a surprise re-appearance on the 2002 film The Beach Patrolists despite the name "MEDIA GROUP" being long out of use since then.
• The original 35mm release of Rug Strip did not originally have this logo, instead using the Curriculum Film Company logo at the time. This is mainly because since Brøderbund was in 25% of the production of the movie, Curriculum was in 75%. Brøderbund originally wanted both Curriculum and their names to be shown at once, but due to tying bids between Curriculum and Brøderbund, Curriculum's name was instead shown at the beginning of the film.
• It also did not originally appear on the 70mm or 125mm Magnum Prime prints of both Oil Barrel or Tearful Gasps due to the company and sub-distributional rights of companies each taking minority stakes from Brøderbund's profits during production. Eventually, the companies Chloris and 20th Century Fox (for Oil Barrel) were taking percentages of production value through the film that were higher than Brøderbund's staff's total hours of work.
  • Tearful Gasps however, did originally appear on the 35mm negative of the film, but due to increasingly high costs of manufacturing frame strips, the company decided to get rid of their name from other filmstrips of the movie. Now, MGM has prompted to use both Brøderbund and their names on current prints of the film to honor their work.
• It's unknown if this was originally seen on pre-1992 prints of Ablaze, as Brøderbund only was possible for 5% of work on the movie. However, all releases after that include this logo.
• This logo is strangely removed from an HBO airing of Party Alarms and Drunk Chaperones from June 4, 1996.
• Is also omitted on an Insp airing of Wide Young West.
• Makes suprise appearances on the 2020 film Party Alarm Retro and the 2021 film The Human Wall.

Editor's Note: A favorite of many due to its music and animation which still holds up today.

3rd Logo (February 24, 2020-)

Logo: Nearly the same as before, but is much simpler. The grid floor is replaced with a solid gradient blue, the "Broderbund" text is now brick red and the crowns are a darker shade of gold, and the "RELEASING" bar is now denim. Before the laser can carve out the "o", a large explosion ruptures out from behind, causing the text to break apart and a large fiery cloud to engulf the screen. Once the fire clears out, we see many pulsating multi-colored needles and pins moving like a wave. The tips of the pins are on fire. The center shoots up overhead, causing a light to flash and release a shockwave that's sticking clouds to it. The other pins rise up and block the screen with black. Lights flash in the distance from the pins as many meteor-like objects fall and zip past the camera, releasing explosions when they impact. Their shockwaves collide and send flashes, sparks, and wind flying through the air. The force from the shockwaves wind blinds the screen into a gray tint where the two contacted shockwaves are now seen as a white line in the middle of the screen. Shining particles are seen in flying throughout. We cut to another shot of the line, another one of the line connected to a ridge, and another one of a rounded line with a slit through it.

The Palidrus Company

Background

The Palidrus Company is a low to mid-budget production company of the Palidrus brothers (Perry Palidrus, Charles "Chuckie" Palidrus, and William Palidrus), best known for their work on the 1965 film Bargain. While their original last names were "Treickenford", their name was changed to reflect on the success of the film The War on Palidrus (1961). It was founded in 1972 after the brothers left Robun Brothers, Incorporated (now Rocket Bunny Entertainment). According to Chuckie Palidrus, the company's original focus was to make Christian-oriented films, but box-office failures forced the company to branch out into other genres, including holding distribution rights for the Tori and Allan properties. In 1982, the holding rights were temporarily acquired by Brøderbund Releasing, thus making them under temporary ownership of MGM/UA Communications. In 1992, they were acquired by Rocket Bunny Entertainment, leaving the company distribute-only for later films produced. In 1998, the Palidrus Company was spun off into the distribution arms of Paramount, thus leaving distribution for later projects halted until 2007, where the company eventually went dormant. The company was revived by Rocket Bunny Entertainment in 2011, and was eventually crowned as one of the company's "Big-Five" studios, along with Magnum Entertainment, C1A1 Entertainment, Virage Films, and Gold Prison Ventures. Even though they were founded in 1972, they didn't have a logo until 1981. While the company is still active, no projects have been heard from them since 2018, where their most recent film To Lust Against Tori and Allan, was released.

Most of The Palidrus Company's library is owned by 20th Century Studios as pre-1986 prints of most movies have a transferred distributor's stake in continuity scripts, such as TriStar and Warner Bros. as various distributors took a minority stake in Rocket Bunny Entertainment, but all releases and media outputs are held by 20th Century Studios.

1st Logo (September 8, 1981-October 16, 1985, August 11, 1991, February 23, 1999)

Logo: On a black background with a lit floor, many three-dimensional cubes rise up out of the ground, while multicolored lines (red, orange, chartreuse, and vivid blue) move in all directions in a single course. The camera pans to the right as the cubes die down, with the text "P A L I D R U S" in Times New Roman sitting in the center. The chartreuse line forms "The" on top of the "P" and the blue line comes and forms "Company" below the "U" and "S". As the camera slowly zooms out and comes to a stop, the red line swivels around for a bit before disappearing into the ground, and then coming back forming a stylized "P" below the company name. A small "TM" bug appears next to "company" after the "P" draws itself in.

Trivia: This logo was designed by Evalyn Yarby Stone in collaboration with Christine Plim, Charles Faren, Jim Bardein and Gregory Gleinsten MacGree at Magnum Screen Partners and animated on an MH 3.66 AGP workstation. The cubes were models made from an MH 3.55 XGP pre-rendered shapes, and the lines had a manually drawn path made for the logo.

Variants:

• On some films (such as You're Out of Business, Boy!), the logo will be slightly brighter, possibly due to film deterioration or distortion.
• On very rare cases, the "P A L I D R U S" text is seen slightly glowing. It is unknown if this is due to film deterioration, distortion, or if this was indeed an actual variant.
• On one case, the multicolored lines are brighter than usual (although the text remains in a normal brightness). Once again, it is unknown if this is a case of film deterioration, distortion, or if this was actually a variant.
• Due to film deterioration, on We Can't Do Something I Tell You, the red line appears red-orange.
• On the 1986 VHS of Christian's Sanity, the 1987 VHS of The Mass, and the 1990 pan-and-scan print of Formed, the logo is presented in a much wider distance than usual. This is because these films were shot in Super 70, but VHS releases were altered to show more width and detail on these films.
• A short version can be spotted on Please and Thank You, Hate My Heart, The Mass, the 2021 re-release of Don't Look! and the 2022 re-release of Lord Knows.
• The Radio Tower has the logo still.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A long synth hum with a few changes in pitch with synth piano thuds and faint sticksnap noises. Composed by Brad Fietts.

Music/Sounds Variant: On the 1995 VHS of Even With Me, the 1994 20th Century Fox fanfare plays over this logo. This is because the film was originally scheduled to be distributed by 20th Century Fox, but the Palidrus Brothers signed a deal to wholly distribute the film as an independent career.

Availability: Common. Can be seen on all Palidrus Company films from 1981 to 1985 debuting on Don't Look! and ending with Fade to Black.

• This was prolific on home video and theatrical film releases before being phased out in favor of the next logo below, but is still intact on all VHS releases and airings of their films from the time. It was originally used to plaster the original logos of acquired films (due to the company purchasing minority stakes of independent distributors in 1981), but all of their acquired film VHS releases keep their respective logos intact. The only instance where this actually happened was the 1984 VHS of Tight Stomach, where it plasters the Brennans Entertainment Corporation logo that started the picture.
• This was strangely seen on 1990 VHS releases of Guitar Boogie, Ava, and Java and Jazz, due to the company serving as a tape manufacturer from 1990-1995, especially considering that this logo was phased out 5 years before the deal.
• The original 35mm print of Don't Look! originally did not have this logo, according to its continuity script due to only two Palidrus brothers being on set during the film's production.
• Does not appear on the films Spring Dance and Wings of Fire as the company did not do over 25% of production.
• It does appear on the 1985 film Arab Spring as Chuckie Palidrus was one of the people involved in the production of the film.
• Current prints of Wagon's Chest and Even With Me have this logo plastered by the 1994 20th Century Fox logo.
• A Cinemax airing of The Mass strangely omits this logo.
• This can be seen at the beginning of many programs produced by the company and with assist production companies, such as Lost Phone and The Draw Riders vs. the Rimwak Posse. However, it does not appear on the 1987 TV movie The Insane Sitter.
• It also does not appear on Tori and Allan films of the era since the company has not acquired the temporary rights to the franchise at the time.
• Makes surprise appearances on the 1991 film Red Hat and the 1999 film Poxy Fresh as opening logo variants.

2nd Logo (October 25, 1985-August 17, 1998, December 4, 2000, February-March 2002?)

Logo: Over a reflecting lake surface, we see distant mountains with the tops glowing blue and reflecting in the lake. A thin white line brings forth the "P A L I D R U S" text (in the same font as the last logo) above the lake in glowing orbs. As the camera zooms closer to the mountains, their tops turn bronze as rolling clouds overhead turn from denim to an ominous brown. The orbs flash and the "P A L I D R U S" text is revealed. Almost immediately after that, the screen flashes and the background turns into a live-action shot of lightning shooting down from the clouds. One of the lightning bolts (in the form of a "P") flashes out and forms the "P" (now colored maroon) as the background then fades out and the text "The" and "Company" atop and below the text fades in (also in the same font as last time). The background then turns gradient black/blue as a small "TM" bug appears next to "Company".

Trivia: While it may look like CGI at first, this is an entirely live-action logo. Set designs were built at Magnum Screen Partners and R. A. Marvel Associates (not to be confused with the more recognizable Marvel). The lake is essentially 45 gallons of water over a shallow surface and had a black plate over it to make it look like it was going deep. The mountain designs were plastic pieces stuck together and elevated by plastic lumps underneath them, with colored lights over them for the color changing. The text glowing was provided by lightbulbs attached to holders that spread through the entire set and was edited out to make them invisible during the logo's filming. The flashing is essentially a cut to the letters being slotted on in spaces provided by another holder. Technicians made the flash 50,000 watts to cover the cut-in. The thunderstorm, shot in Ray, Seminolia, was recorded on July 17 of 1985 during a squall line and took the film crew 16 days to get a lightning bolt that looked like a "P". The text and symbol was provided by holders over a green-screen background.

Technique: Almost all live-action.

Music/Sounds: An ominous five-note string score with chimes and dings for the flashing. Also composed by Brad Fietts.

Music/Sounds Variants:

• On films such as The Life and Times of Tori and Allan (the first film to use this logo), Blood Bats and Teeth Cross, faint thunderclaps can be heard over the music (if you listen closely).
• Sometimes, the logo is silent or the opening/closing theme of the movie will play over it instead.

Availability: Very common, as it was used for 13 years. Is retained on all of the company's films during the timeframe, such famous examples include The Life and Times of Tori and Allan (the first film to use this logo), Blood Bats, Franklin, The Riders, Protect The Invaders, Signs of Ignorance (1989), Authoritarians, The Care Kit, Code Of Honor, Our Doubts, Two Fine Women and Exit Fire, among many others.

• This plasters the 1981 logo on current prints of the films Lord Knows, The Inflict and Even With Me, despite the former movie retaining the 1981 logo for its 2021 re-release and Even With Me for its 2022 re-release.
• This logo first appeared on the aforementioned The Life and Times of Tori and Allan and made its last appearance on the 1998 film Peaches. It strangely makes re-appearances on the 2000 film Was It Good For You? and the 2002 films The Only Limit, Two Trials and Road Track.
• This is seen on various home video releases and one of the last pre-manufacture tape demos before the company started all-time filmmaking on July 27, 1986. One of the very last tape demos to use this is the MGM/UA MOD DVD-R of Go, Bill! Go, Bill! You're The Galaxy's Brightest Star!, the MGM/UA MOD DVD-S of Systems and the Columbia MGM DVD-R of Killed When Caught.

StauBurt Films

Background

StauBurt Films (formerly StauBurt Production House until 1985) is the production company of men's magazine writer Stau Burt, formed in 1982 for the release of the sex comedy Plopsy. It was one of the companies that were temporarily under the ownership of Brøderbund Releasing (thus making it under full ownership of MGM until 1987). Numerous reports of sexual harrassment centered around Burt and his filmography (the most infamous of these reports was on a scene in the movie I Saw Kate Flannigan And Haizley Mrenn Get Into A Fight Out On The Alley Of 34th Street) started to flare in around 1989, which caused Burt to pay around $283 million. After the reports subsided, Burt had little to no money to continue film operation, thus rendering the company bankrupt on March 1997 and causing him to return to writing men's magazine articles for companies such as Penthouse, Juicy, Hot Lady 51, GT5 Full Throttle, Sound Wave and Vivid.

1st Logo (July 6, 1982)

Logo: On a black background, a magenta outline of a square with rounded edges zooms in with a trail effect and stops. The square fills in with color and the letters "S" and "B" in the Times New Roman Cooper Black font. A white, outlined, cartoonish head with big eyes, a smile, and a weird hairstyle (looking like an aviator's helmet with the straps off) fades in over the square. A giant flash appears and reveals "stauburt" in a tall Arial font and in spring green, along with "PRODUCTION HOUSE" in Times New Roman below that. The logo then shines and sparkles.

Technique: Cel-animation combined with Scanimation.

Music/Sounds: A rising chiptune theme followed by a three-note synth theme and a descending chime. This is actually "Prestige Logo (f)" by Paddy Kingsland (also used for the rising synth in the Chun Sing Film Co. and Primetime Entertainment logos).

Availability: Only seen on Plopsy and is retained on all re-releases of the film (including its IMAX re-release).

2nd Logo (September 1985-February 22, 1996)

Logo: On a black background, various magenta diagonal lines slide in from the bottom-right and the top-left corners of the screen and converge in the near-middle, forming a square with rounded edges. Two letters, "S" and "B" flash inside the square (once again, in the Times New Roman Cooper Black font) A flash wipes forth the "stauburt films" text in a tall Arial font and in spring green. A hand-drawn character with big eyes, a smile, and no shirt on (basically the character from the last logo but in color) swims up inside the square and covers the letters (as if he is underwater). He then moves up, showing his belly button and the camera pointed to his groin (he wears a white swimsuit). After he is out of view, the text shines and a star flashes at the tip of the "t".

Varaint: A short version exists which is used for TV shows.

Technique: Cel-animation.

Music/Sounds: A 16-note synth theme with a held bass in the background, ending with an ascending koto ditty.

Availability: Uncommon.

• Still retained on Burt's films such as I Saw Kate Flannigan and Haizley Mrenn Get Into A Fight Out On The Alley Of 34th Street, Crossing, Wendy's Loving Me, Out On The Blue, Dart Frog, When Time Changes, and Obu, among others.
• The short version can be seen on the TV shows Plopsy's World and The Life and Times of Timothy Follot. It makes a surprise appearance on the mini-series Orange Kid which Burt served as executive producer on.
• For a period of time, this was repeatedly blacked out in favor of the opening scene of the movie due to RB Network's time compression issues at the time. Rocket Bunny Network did this because showing a movie company opening with implied nudity would not be appropriate and would create the wrong mood for the tones of the movies it follows. Starting in 2013, they are now seen on all RB Network airings of movies.
• Does not appear on Joelle, as it was a concept pitched by Stau Burt but was confirmed he did not work on set.
• Two Meadows did not originally have this logo due to an inconsistent crediting issue from Burt's pitching.
• Steven's Stroke also did not have this logo due to the company only producing 10% of the movie.

Editor's Note: While the music is nice and calming, the character in the logo has caught people off guard.

Chloris

Background

Chloris (also known as The Chloris Company or Chloris Films) is a low-to-mid-budget B-movie production company founded in 1985 by the Chloris brothers Daniel, Tom, Michael, and Scott. In 1989, 25% of the company was acquired by Brøderbund Releasing in an attempt to temporarily distribute them under their flagship banner of companies. After the 25% was bought back by Daniel Chloris, the company was bought by The Palidrus Company, thus making them under the ownership of Rocket Bunny Entertainment to protect them from Brøderbun's attempts to buy their independent film library. In 1996, the Chloris name was temporarily abandoned for the deaths of Tom and Scott Chloris. The name was used again for the releases of Far From The Town and Red Grass in 2005. In 2006, the company became independent again and is now used as a home entertainment distributor and manufacturer in collaboration with Shout! Factory.

(February 1987-September 24, 2006)

Logo: On a black background, we zoom out over a glowing crimson surface with solid red and orange lines running through parts of it. The surface then turns and zooms out to reveal it is actually the word "Chloris" in a fantasy-like font. The logo then rapidly zooms in after a couple of seconds.

Variants:

• Some films such as One For The Taken, The Banished Leader, A High Way, The Turning Trails, Two Minutes Until The Marriage, Days of the Past, The Spokesman and Red For Danger have the logo tinted magenta.
• On the Devin Trakbotjett demo reel, the logo animates smoothly and doesn't zoom in.
• At the end of films, the logo is still.
• The end of the films Pax, The Red Justice, Charlie's City of Colors and the 1994 remake of The Train To Callisto Mtn. have the logo in print.

Technique: CGI animation by Devin Trakbotjett.

Music/Sounds: A single synth drone.

Music/Sounds Variant: On Sphobiscus (the first film to use this logo), two additional synth notes are heard if you listen closely.

Availability: Very common.

• Can be seen on all of Chloris' films of the period such as The Silver Wine, Wild Wings, Dear Mlina, Charlie's City of Colors, Death on Route 79, Main Line, Three Men Against The Sea, In The Heart of The Path, The Red Justice and Pax, among others.
• The first film to use this logo is Sphobiscus while the last film to use it is Pilots Of The Highland.
• This does not appear on Mariners Of The Village or The Tenacitor's Sanity as the Chloris company did do over 25% of the film, but none of the Chloris brothers were involved in the production of these films.
• Also does not appear on the movie Kimono in Flames as the company did not want their name presented due to the subject matter that none of the brothers wanted to be involved in.
• Does make appearances on many short films the company produced, such as The Cask of Amontillado, Five Cameras Watching You, The Lumberton Boxcar, and Made in Manhattan.
• Also appears on post-1993 prints of the films The Psychiatrist Booth, The Other Side, Lost in Gunpoint, A Changing and Night Home, since they originally opened with no logo.
• Is strangely omitted on Starz prints of Tampa Storm (1995).

Dipothinium Films

Background

Dipothinium Films (formerly known as Dipothinium Productions until 2000) is the production company of former Pom Pom creators Lucienne Anderson and Arliss Brane. It is named after the element Dipothinium, which is infamous for its deadly acidic reaction. After many box office failures of films from the company (the only successful films were Gwen, released in 1999, The Goss Pack, released in 2000, and A Big Girl, released in 2004), the company went defunct in June 2004.

(July 18, 1996-June 23, 2004)

Logo: Over a black background, a cerulean semicircle with three colored triangles mauve, yellow, and green fades in over the top-center. The text "Dipothinium" zooms out with a light trail effect and settles below the logo. Another line of text "PRODUCTIONS" fades in below the text. After a few seconds, the text turns white, glows, and takes up the whole screen, then the logo fades to black.

Trivia: This logo references the visual effect of Dipothinium before it explodes. When it contacts with acid, the textures bubble and the fibramonius (the surface of the element) starts to dissolve, releasing antomophoba ribamana (a substance inside the element which releases its light when coming in contact with a surface-less element). If too much glow is absorbed into the antomophoba ribamana, the element explodes (hence the text glowing at the end of the logo).

Variant: Starting in 2000 with films such as Scarcely Obtained, The Goss Pack, Slow Pace, A Big Girl and Uncertain Fates, "FILMS" replaces "PRODUCTIONS".

Technique: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: A low synth bell toll which echoes. It's echo becomes warbled and gets louder before eventually abruptly finishing.

Availability: Still retained on the company's films, such as Eight Men, The Golden Club (the logo's debut), Ten Shootists, Battle Ship, The Mangery, Gwen (1999), Scarcely Obtained, 268, Even The Score, The Goss Pack, Slow Pace, The Riddlers Who Accepted Satan's Invitation, A Big Girl, Red Twilight, Uncertain Fates, and We're All In This Together (the company's final film).

Yeardime Studios

Background

Yeardime Studios (originally known as Yeardime Ventures until 1989) was a film production company founded by movie producers Thomas Yelphsburg, Avery Aspher, Patrick Tessell, Avrill Don Bertram, and Vaselie Sak Chivokapram on June 15th, 1981. The company's namesake comes from the Robun Brothers movie A Dime A Year (1961), starring Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby (also known as Yelphsburg's favorite movie). In 1997, various actors have reported Aspher, Tessell, and Sak Chivokapram for reported sexual harassment (most notably in the films The Total Catastrophe, released in 1992, Texas Swatters, released in 1995, and Diamond Tank, released in 1996), thus forcing them to leave the company. While Tessell won his lawsuits, Aspher and Sak Chivokapram pled guilty. Aspher was sentenced to 12 years in prison while Sak Chivokapram was sentenced to a total of 30 years in prison (including the 23 years from an alleged cause of unintentional murder from his fatal accident on a street, from an already slightly long 7 years). Shortly after Aspher was released, Don Bertram had been reported that he had died from sarcoma. Many box office flops after that event caused the company to go dormant in 2013. On July 14, 2016, Aspher posted that he and Yelphsburg have planned to close the company and to just regularly work at Rocket Bunny's merchandise division. Aspher stated that "Toys are what formed me. It's how I thrived when I was younger and still makes me thrive today. If I have to go through the agony of spending 12 years in prison, I'd rather receive the long end of the stick of life." Soon after that, the company was closed. Yeardime's remaining assets were absorbed into a minority stake between Rocket Bunny Entertainment and MGM.

1st Logo (June 18, 1981-December 4, 1987, March 25, 1988)

Logo: Over a space background, a flash occurs, sending forth red lines and dots towards the screen. When they morph into segmented lines, they turn and merge into each other into the middle, then turn to the side to from a vertical line. The line starts to branch out other lines with lines branching out of them as well. More details then draw in to form a dime. A light draws a circle around the details, completing the picture. The space background fades out, the dime zooms in and turns on its side, and engulfs the screen while segmented lines from the dime glow, making the dime fade out. The lines merge into each other horizontally. The line turns yellow as it bounces up and squishes out to form the text "Yeardime" in a childish font. A light flashes in the dot in the "i". When everything is finished, the text "VENTURES" appears below "eardime".

Variants:

• A short version exists.
• On Taurus (the last film to use the logo after a one-year hiatus), "PICTURES" replaces "VENTURES", as the company was rebranded around that time.

Technique: Cel-animation from Tykaro-Cieljesses Associates.

Music/Sounds: Various whooshes and synth drones are heard, followed by a chiptune-esque group of descending notes. More whooshes and drones follow before the drones start to go at a faster pace. It then segues into a bouncy ascending/descending synthesized fanfare with a slight reverb at the end. Composed by Alexio Davombrino and Wallace Kingston Jr.

Music/Sounds Variant: Films such as Second Note, Stephen In The Skies, and One Word have the logo silent.

Availability: Common.

Cryptovision

Background

Cryptovision is a television services company founded on New Year's Day of 1969 as Crypto Services. The service was founded by television associate producers Jamie Crya and Gerald Amuapto. In 1975, the company acquired independent service companies South Central Programs and Cezar Thervett Television Services from various television entrepreneurs who forced the company to fork out profits from acquisitions. In 1982, the company was temporarily acquired by Brøderbund Releasing thus making them under owning by MGM. The company was rebranded into Cryptovision in 1985 and one year later, Warner Bros. Pay TV merged the company into Warner Communications TV, forming Warner-Cryptovision. This caused Brøderbund Releasing to lay off their assets and apparently disacquire the company and its properties related to them. The joint venture disbanded in early 1987 as a result of not paying Warner half of the profit from program funding. In 1992, the company was partially sued for repeated sexual harassment, but Rocket Bunny Entertainment acquired the company a year later to aid them from paying profits. Today, Cryptovision is now a big-banner division of Rocket Bunny Television and is mainly known for its television funding opportunities that have branched out across the world.

1st Logo (October 29, 1983-1984, December 21-26, 1986, January 12, 1987-May 13, 2012)

Logo: On a black background, a white star appears on the center-left of the screen. After it fades out, an bean red-coloured abstract person with its arms in the air flips in vigorously until it gets to the near-middle. When it stops, the text "Cryptovision" in Korrina slides out from beside it.

Variants:

• Filmed and videotaped versions exist.
• For the logo's first days from December 21 to 26 of 1986, the flash is at the center of the screen rather than the center-left. Also, the Warner Bros. shield comes out along with the man. The text now slides down from the symbols and a small bullet point is in the center. The text says "Warner • Cryptovision". The animation is also rougher.
• A July 1987 airing of That's How You Do It! and certain prints of Benny have the logo in a slight pink tint.
• Prototype episodes of Forgiven Song have the text "TELEVISION SERVICES" (also in Korrina) slide out with the logo.
• A September 1997 print of Geegee on M6 has the text translated to "SERVICES DE TÉLÉVISION".
• In 1992, the byline "A Rocket Bunny ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY" was added below the logo.
• Starting with Big Worlds in 1999, the logo is heavily enhanced. The flash is.more realistic and larger, the person now starts as gold before turning bean red and has a trail effect, it now moves left and right before settling in its position, and the person and text glows slightly.
• A print of You Oughta Do It! has the logo smaller.
• Starting in 2009 and up until 2012, the logo is in widescreen and high-definition.

Technique: Cel-animation done at Teqi Pine Picture Company.

Music/Sounds: A high pitched ding followed by a synth theme which ascends and descends repeatedly. A synth bass note is heard when the text slides out. Composed by David Boffett and Wallace Kingston Jr.

Availability: Very common.

• Can be seen on pretty much all of Cryptovision's programs up until 2012, famous examples are Hay: The Most Softest Sex Symbol For Taking a Wee-Wee, Big Black Clouds, Height Advantages, A Man With A Heart of Fire, Gasey, Interviews With a Predator and The Corruption Trip.
• The logo's first noted appearance was on a demo reel from Teqi Pine Picture Company from October 29, 1983 and made a final appearance on the program Teqi Pine: Pioneers of Scanimation in 1984.
• The logo was briefly put on hiatus from 1985 to late 1986 before the company was merged into Warner.
• The Warner•Cryptovision variant can only be seen on the four episodes of the short-lived show Sliding.

TKO Films

Background

TKO Films was founded in 1991 by film director Arnold Janet (known for the films Double Vision, The Other Side, and the Plant Wars franchise) after he left Florament Pictures a year prior.

Florament Pictures

Background

Florament Pictures was founded in 1986 by former video distributors Floraya Stembere and Mentu Shivaya in conjunction with renowned film director Arnold Janet and French filmmaker De'sous Coçâra Pilar in Baxter, Seminolia. They were most successful for the films Signs of Ignorance (1989) and Janie's Got a Gun (1990). In 1993, Janet left the company to start his own, TKO Films. After the box office failure of Pappy (1995), the company was sold to Wallace Kingston (co-founder of Brøderbund Releasing) in early 1996 and was renamed to Florament-Kingston Pictures. Kingston went and sold Florament's library to Brøderbund Releasing and MGM in a minority stake between Lumiere Pictures and Le Studio Canal+. When Le Studio Canal+ became StudioCanal in 2000, the company was wholly sold to the distribution rights of them, with MGM still holding a 25% stake in the company's library. After the release of A Year's End in 1999, the company ceased operations and is no longer a wholly subsidiary of either StudioCanal or MGM. The remaining assets of Florament were spun off into Rocket Bunny Entertainment's independent division, Rocket Bunny Pictures, in 2001 through The Palidrus Company, thus making them under the ownership of the Palidrus estate.

(January 16, 1989-February, December 11, 1995-May 21, 1999)

Logo: We fade into a live-action dawn shot of the standing point of Marshall S. Rowers Parkway facing Samell City in Misericordia, Seminolia. A few seconds later, the sky turns blue in an upward fashion, then a vibrant crimson. The skyline flashes, turns into a silhouette, then zooms out to reveal it is enclosed by a white outlined box. When everything stops, the sky turns a slight purple mountain's majesty color and the text "FLORAMENT" in Charlemagne Bold (the same font as the Pixar logo) flashes in under the box. "P I C T U R E S" in the Impact font wipes in underneath. The logo stays for a couple of seconds before warping out and blurring.

Trivia: Misericordia was the birthplace of one of the company's founders, Arnold Janet. It would be used again for the logo of his own company, TKO Films.

Variants:

• On Reel 2 Real (1995), Who's The Lord?, Puhoe, and A Year's End (the last film released by the company), the logo is shortened to where the sky turns blue.
• On a couple of films released before the company's hiatus in 1995 due to the Wallace Kingston merger, the company name instead reads "FLORAMENT-KINGSTON PICTURES".

Technique: Live-action combined with cel-animation.

Music/Sounds: A held synth note followed by a synth chime arpeggio. Composed by Wallace Kingston Jr.

Music/Sounds Variants:

• Sometimes, the opening theme of the movie plays over the logo.
• On M.I.A. and The Lucky House, the logo is silent.
• On a Screenpix airing of Makay's Best, the 1981 20th Century Fox fanfare plays over the logo due to a botched plaster attempt.
• A French airing of Hollywood's Bleeding has the Lumiere Pictures fanfare play over it, also due to a botched plastering job.

Availability: Rare.

• Since most of Florament's library was absorbed and bought out by MGM, this logo was repeatedly plastered by the MGM logo on prints of their universally distributed films with MGM. After more than a few decades after the company's assets were spun off to Rocket Bunny Pictures, this plastering started to wear down. A couple of films you can still find this logo on are Signs of Ignorance, Janie's Got A Gun, One Finger, Memorial Raid, Background Beat, Go Suck One, The North (1993), A Star Is Not Staying, The Jacksons and Obu.
• This logo does not appear on the 70mm or 125mm Magnum Prime prints of both Doing 80 and Wilmington is Armed despite Floraya Stembere being involved in both productions of these films, but the company did not do over 25% of credited production.
• Also does not appear on the TV movie Against Humanity, as only an in-credit notice is used instead from the company only serving as an executive distributor.

Background

Zanetti Films is the production company of the late famed horror filmmaker Melanie Zanetti. Zanetti founded the company from a stake between Paramount Pictures and a merger between Hammer Films and Opera Film Distribution in 1979, which Melanie Zanetti participated in at the convention of the merger. After the two companies became Hammer's Opera Studio in 1982 and disbanded in the middle of the 1980s, Zanetti purchased 68% of Opera's remaining properties in 1986 and used them to distribute under her founding company

This was the short lived motion picture division of the VexXtra Entertainment Channel, an event channel founded in 1976 by Wallace Kingston, Cybill Valerie, Esther Ernestine, Gabriel Xan, Steven Xaviers, Rowan K. Tethner, Duncan Rine, and Keven S. Allcroft, as a whole owned by the MGM family of networks. The film division was founded by veteran network producers Dave Klein and Michel Saolo in March 1989. VexXtra's network still survived, but the motion picture division was folded into a minority stake between MGM and United Artists on Fall 1999. The company's remaining assets were sold to Brøderbund Releasing and Curriculum Film Company in 2004.

1st Logo (Unused) (March 1989)

TBA.

2nd Logo (April 5, 1995-November 26, 1999)

Logo: On a black background, a vertical neon red line draws itself in. It then brightens and sends a refracting light outward, illuminating small particles in the way. The camera then turns and reveals that a large, bold "X" is seen emitting the light. After the camera turns in the way of the light, the screen is filled with red. The light dies down as the inside of the "X" fills in with red, blocking the light. The text "vex" and "tra" ("vex" is on the left side of the "X" and "tra" is on the right; both text is in Rozha One Bold) flash in, forming the 1990 VexXtra logo. The text "Entertainment" (also in Rozha One Bold and in gray) fades in below, along with a spaced out "STUDIOS" (in Kanit and valentine red). The background turns dark gray and gains a moving drop shadow as the byline "A DIVISION OF MGM NETWORKS" fades in (in ruby red and in Microgramma).

Technique: Early CGI animation by C1A1 Entertainment.

Music/Sounds: A held synth note followed by a 13-note chime-sounding synth tune. Wallace Kingston is heard saying "This film was made in conjunction with VexXtra Entertainment Studios." Kingston is known for being unable to properly speak English, so it sounds more like he's saying "Thays fim was mayd in conjunction with VexXtra Entetaiment Studyos". This tune was composed by Kingston's grandson, Wallace Kingston Jr. (coincidentally both born in the same country, Estonia)

Music/Sounds Variants:

• On Party Alarm (1995), Wet And Wild (1996), The Bison's Tails and The Veldt, the opening theme of the movie is heard with Kingston's voiceover intact.
• On I'm Not Alright and One Last Thing (the final two films released by the company before it's closure in 1999), Kingston's voiceover is removed.
• Sometimes, the logo will be silent and Kingston's voiceover is still intact. This is mainly seen on TV movies.
• On Muskegon, the logo is completely silent.
• Sometimes, a different fanfare would be heard instead, with Kingston's voiceover still there. So far, this is only known to appear on The Decaying Kinds and the 1996 VHS of The Corruption Trip.
• On the 1992 VHS release of The Nights Are Silent, the VexXtra Atomic music plays over this logo due to a botched plaster job.

Availability: Uncommon, bordering on rare.

• This logo isn't seen very often nowadays due to plastering habits in the means of MGM. However, this logo is not too hard to spot considering they are not wholly owned by said company, only its subsidiaries Brøderbund Releasing and Curriculum Film Company. You can still find this logo on Business in Flames, The Maruauders' Dignities, Ix, Muskegon, Party Alarm, The Bison's Tails, among some others.

Rocket Bunny Theatres

Background

In 1973, Robun Brothers Pictures executives (Martin Freshcher, Damian Kaythi Saatchi, Howp Towen, and Javii Nomboyer) had a talk with theater entrepreneurs the Durwood brothers and David Dambuel to acquire their run-down theaters so they can expand the business to theater development. October 24, 1974, was the opening day of the first Robun Brothers Theater in Los Angeles, California. After exceeding over $30 million in currency and box office transfers from customers and deals of venue, the chain began worldwide expansion. Although the name of the company was changed to Rocket Bunny in 1979, the Robun Brothers Theatres name continued to live until 1982, when major cuts caused the chain to rename itself as a whole to Rocket Bunny Theatres.

After the rename in early 1983, the company experienced major growth in revenue and eventually expanded locations to across the world. The first non-USA theater chain to open was the Rocket Bunny Theater in Mexico City in 1984. In 1985, the company opened its first multiplex cinema chains overseas, the 12-screen multiplex theatre in London, United Kingdom and the 10-screen multiplex in The Point, Milton Keynes, both in the United Kingdom. During that year, they opened the first non-English speaking chains, the Rocket Bunny Theater Madrid 10 in Madrid, Spain, and the Rocket Bunny Theater Louvre 15 in Paris, France. They opened additional sites in those countries such as the Rocket Bunny Theater Point Bordeaux in Bordeaux, France, Rocket Bunny Theater La-Part-Dieu 8 in Lyon, France, and the Rocket Bunny Theater Barcelona 12 in Barcelona, Spain, all of which have garnered over $500 million in revenue for the main company in total. The first Asian theaters to open are the Rocket Bunny Theater Shanghai 15 in Shanghai, China and the Rocket Bunny Theater Tokyo 15 in Tokyo, Japan in August. The first Australian theaters to open are the Rocket Bunny Theater Canberra 20, the Rocket Bunny Theater Gold Coast 25, and the Rocket Bunny Theater Sydney 23, all of which opened in October of 1985.

In July 1987, the company opened its first megaplex theater (also the first megaplex theater in the world; and would eventually become their most famous theater), the Rocket Bunny Theater Times Square 35 in New York City, New York. The megaplex theater, with 35 screens and with each auditorium sitting over 25,000 people, was opened by Kineopolis in association with Marquee Holdings and EAK Company. During its grand opening, it drew in approximately 1,594,000 moviegoers and residents in just its first hour, and after the first movie showing, garnered nearly $550,000.

After Sony's release of the SDDS sound system in 1993, the company signed a contract to employ its auditoriums with the technology. Two years later in 1995, the company signed numerous deals with other companies. During that year, Rocket Bunny Theaters signed a deal with IMAX to employ its theaters with IMAX technology. Two years later, they struck a deal with Lucasfilm to employ some auditoriums with the THX technology. The deal was closed in 2006 due to complaints about the sound scaring children. Two years later, they struck another deal with Dolby to equip some auditoriums with Dolby sound systems. In 2009, they struck a final deal with PRIME, a movie/home theater equipment manufacturing company to employ its theaters with their finest sound equipment. Some theaters come equipped with an anaglyphic RealD 3D technology for some movie showings, as well as the BigD screens in some other ones. Some theaters in Arkansas and Alabama are certified by Cinedigm, meaning that all visuals are laser projected with Christie Movie Projectors. After SDDS began to be phased out in 2008, the company signed another deal with Columbus-based Westinberg Media Systems to employ the theaters with their Westinberg sound systems, although SDDS-equipped theaters still survived until October 2009. In 2010, the chain launched a membership club called RB Theatres Stubs, which attracted a total of 467 million people. The next year, they upgraded themselves to an S-Tier division, where you get free concessions, showings, and a point counter that will unlock membership rewards if you watch enough movies every week, as well as free access to all of the theater chain's subsidiarial divisions. On December 30, 2022, the chain signed another deal with THX to employ the THX certification system to theaters. Today, the chain was ranked highest of all US cinema chains (above AMC Theatres and Regal Cinemas, which they all merged with Cinemark Theatres to form Fathom Events in 2005 and with Callahan Cinemas and Wall Street Cinemas (both theater chains were acquired by the company in 2011 and 2013) to form Timely Cinema Corporation in 2014), attracts 90 million customers per day, and has exceeded over $67 billion for the main company since 1982.

Robun Brothers Theatres

(The Newest Stages) (February 24, 1979-1982)

Logo: On a black background, two teal lines flash on screen, emitting lots of light and resembling the width of a screen. Then, various clips from the golden-age era of Robun Brothers movies play between the lines in split-second fashion. The clips include:

• Celebrity Manhunt (1965)
• Smoking Root (1962)
• Rocchetta (1964)
• Jubilant Dancer (1967)
• Hamilton (1969)
• Ferry Of The Damned (1971)
• Wild Rose (1951)
• Vita (1964)
• Shores of Gold (1959)
• Flame of the Viper (1976)
• and Phantom (1975)

After the clip from Phantom fades out, the screen turns to reveal it is being played from a film projector, which is then engulfed by bright lights culminating into a large flash which reveals the Robun Brothers insignia in gold. A filmstrip flies in from the left and forms the "R" in Bambi Gala. After the filmstrip finishes making the outline, the letter flashes and glows teal, eliminating its outline. Another filmstrip comes in and creates the "B", and when that flashes, the logo zooms out to the top-left corner as curve-edged rectangles zoom out and surround the shining text "ROBUN BROTHERS" in Gazooka and "THEATRES" in the Caesar fonts. In sync with the music, the gold text "Now, Our Feature Presentation" in a fancy script font flashes in. After that, the logo shines until we fade out.

Previews Variant: A bright yellow-tinted flash appears, causing an array of movie clips tinted in sepia to zoom past the camera. The one from the movie Wild Rose engulfs the screen, causing a giant flash to engulf it. The remnants of the flash reveal the words "COMING SOON" in Caesar in the middle of the screen. Another flash reveals the words "to a" and the Robun Brothers Theatres logo below that (without the "S" at the end of "THEATRES"). A copyright notice appears below.

Variant: A version is known to exist where the text "ROBUN BROTHERS PICTURES PRESENT.." in Casear fades in at the top of the screen. Then the text "THE NEWEST GENERATION OF CLASSIC CINEMA.." fades in below in sync with the music. After both lines of text fade out, the logo plays as normal. This was believed to have been used for its first year from 1979, but no video footage has re-surfaced as of 2023.

Technique: Cel-animation combined with footage of the films in the logo. Done at Ibe Monhaviskaov and Associates with footage from the Cascom Select Effects Library. The print logo of the chain at the time was designed by Donathan Case and Cinema Concepts.

Music/Sounds: An abridged excerpt of the library music tune Olympic Champion 1 by Keith Mansfield from 1978, with its second part repeating twice before its second brass portion plays.

Music/Sounds Variants:

• It was long rumored that the "NEWEST GENERATION OF CLASSIC CINEMA" variant has the first horn segment of Olympic Champion 1 playing over it, but this remains unknown.
• The previews variant has an abridged version of the music.

Availability: Extinct. Was seen at numerous Robun Brothers Theatres before the chain was rebranded in 1982. The 35mm film reels survive in the hands of numerous film collectors and can be found online through stores such as eBay or through donations.

Editor's Note: While the animation seems outdated now, this was a favorite of many who went to various Robun Brothers Theatres of the time period.

Author's Note: This logo's idea comes from the 1980 AMC Theatres logo.

Rocket Bunny Theatres

1st Logo (Get Ready) (1982-May 1985)

Logo: Over a black background, various lights draw the outline of a filmstrip which eventually fills itself with white. The camera turns upward and reveals itself to be on the pulley of a conveyor belt leading to a stamper. There are girders and suspensions extending off of it. We cut to an overhead shot of a filmstrip which is being viewed from a giant two-piece stamp. The camera swiftly zooms towards it and the stamper paints the filmstrip with processed movie frames, emitting sparks. A lift turns the filmstrips 45° sideways as the setting slowly turns into live-action. In the darkness, five more filmstrips are pulled towards a spinning pole and converge into one another. An animated human putting volume cards and connecting wires in a speaker is seen, which turns live-actioned as the camera cuts to his hand connecting electrical voice coils. After the hand flicks a switch on the side of the speaker, the horn lights up and explodes, setting off a staggering amount of sparks that then morph into stars, forming outer space. A film reel flies through space, emitting sparkles behind it, and gets to planet Earth. The reel goes through the clouds into the western side of North America (California). The camera cuts to a sky shot where the reel is seen descending down into a Rocket Bunny Theater (the one in Los Angeles, a.k.a. the first Robun Brothers Theaters location). After the reel crashes down into the theater (with pieces and dust flying off the top), it flies over to a projectionist who catches it and inserts it into a projector (if you notice in HD, the reel cuts into live-action when the projectionist catches it). The projectionist flicks a switch, making the projector's light turn on. He then presses a button on a projector remote, making the reels spin and the filmstrips disappear in animated sparkles. We cut to the lobby where drinks are dispensed and popcorn is being popped. A staggering amount of people show up to the lobby doors (including animated ones, such as Nate Timely himself, Blaineley from Celebrity Manhunt, Tori and Allan from Tori and Allan's Way of Life, Nomor, Atog, Snol, and Fateeg from The Virgins Who Came To America, Ayne from Level Out, Pamera and Stevera from High Spirits, the titular character from The Rocket Bunny, Sitara, Niell, Kate, Naveed, Chundler, and the Skeletal bosses from Robun Brothers' Shores of Gold franchise, Alyssa, Kesha and Marnia from Call the Pregnant Women and Cody Spangelman from Walk To The Lost Bar). After they enter the theater, the screen lights up and explodes, sending tons of sparks hurtling at the viewer. Over the fiery cloud, "GET READY" in Century Gothic fades in over, and when it fades out, the text "FOR A MOVIE EXPERIENCE LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN.. OR HEARD" follows suit. A line quickly flashes across the screen, causing a fire to illuminate the outlines of the Rocket Bunny Theatres logo (The Rocket Bunny script logo beside a 45° turned image of Nate Timely's head (drawn by the late Ron Chan) with the spaced out text "THEATRES" below). After the logo fades to white, the text "NOW, OUR FEATURE PRESENTATION" fades below. The logo fades out.

Previews Variant: The lights draw the text "COMING SOON" (once again, in Casear) in an outlined from before it flashes into a solid white. It zooms out with a trail effect and flashes out, with the words "to a" zooming out and stopping, then zooming out again. The Rocket Bunny Theatres logo zooms out and stops, with a bright explosion occurring behind it and engulfing it with flames. The flames clear to reveal the three lines of text altogether on a black background, in which copyright notices fade in below.

Technique: A solid combination of cel-animation and live action, done at Tykaro-Cieljesses Associates, Cinema Concepts, and Riet Pictures. It has been revealed that Fonn Masnew, Dave Hessner, Denny McGurrin, Kevin Losnong, and Ross Bollinger were the people responsible for the cel-animation.

Music/Sounds: An orchestral piece that starts with rapid hits of a glockenspiel before emerging into a full orchestral sweep which gets more intense as the trailer progresses. Whooshes, mechanical sounds, and explosions are heard corresponding to the events happening. When we see the characters in the theater, a synth boom, followed by a rising laser zap is heard, with a loud explosion following suit. When the rumbling from the explosion fades out, we hear the sound of a match being lit, along with flames crackling.

Music/Sounds Variant: The previews variant has an abridged version of the music.

Availability: Extinct. Seen at Rocket Bunny Theatres during the time period. 35mm prints still survive in the hands of film collectors.

Editor's Note: A stunning trailer that symbolizes Rocket Bunny's potential as a theater chain, but the outdated animation and environment mixing has put some people off.

Author's Note: The music/sounds idea comes from the 1st Warner Bros. Cinemas logo from 1996.

3rd Logo (Welcome To The New Age) (May 11, 1985-Late 1993)

Logo: A star flashes in over a black environment. As the camera pans toward the star, it dies down to reveal it is a solar eclipse with the Moon passing the Earth, which has longitudinal/latitudinal lines and filmstrips spiraling around it. The Sun is revealed from behind as the camera pans around the Earth, close enough to where the Moon does not appear on screen. Five comets shoot out and explode on various continents, releasing rings that light them up with gold dots (symbolizing the Rocket Bunny Theater locations across the world; North America, Europe, Asia, Australia and South America). The camera zooms out and the Moon passes by and engulfs the screen, releasing a large light that dissolves to form the Rocket Bunny logo. Two stars fly out, draw the "Rocket Bunny" text and smash into each other from opposite directions to form "THEATRES". When the camera stops moving, a vivid purple light brightens behind the logo and dissolves the logo as parts of it fly off to form two letters: "N" and "E" in a blocky font with a gold outline. Before that happens, filmstrips spiral around the hole and the camera zooms through it until it fades out. The letters spread to the left and right and forms the text "EW" and "AG" from a sparkling light wipe. When the letters are formed, two lines of text flash in on the top and bottom of the text, making it read:

WELCOME TO THE

NEW AGE

OF MOTION PICTURE ENTERTAINMENT

Both the top and bottom lines of text are in Century Gothic. After a few seconds of that happening on screen, several filmstrips fly out and spiral around the text, even caving into it, making it explode. One of the fragments engulfs the screen and a shining light from one of the pieces dies down and slides to the right, flashing out sparks and forming "NOW OUR FEATURE PRESENTATION" in Century Gothic. A few seconds later, the text dissolves in a blue aura, flies towards the screen and fades out, although the music continues for a bit longer.

Previews Variants:

• A star flashes in like the regular variant, with a comet swirling and zooming at the screen. The camera cuts to another shot where the comet flies past various planets, eventually getting to planet Earth, where it surpasses the filmstrips circling it and crashes down into California. We cut to a shot of Los Angeles where the comet flashes in the sky. Another shot shows the comet traveling at high speed, where it eventually crashes into the center of the road, releasing a high explosive impact. The remnants of the explosion dissolve to reveal the text "COMING SOON", "to a", and the Rocket Bunny Theaters "THEATRE" variant below.
• Depending on the country the theater is released in, the text will be in its respective language.

Variants:

• Depending on the filmstrips used, the logo would appear darker (70mm), slightly lighter (125mm Prime), or in a slight green-ish tint (35mm)
• On Cinema Concepts' demo reel, the logo's framerate is smoother and has more vivid colors. The tops and bottoms have rusted bars. After the Rocket Bunny Theatres logo is revealed, the bars close and cover the logo.
• Depending on what country the theater is located in, the text will be in their respective languages. The animation is also altered to accommodate. The following versions are known to exist:

Technique: Computer-generated animation done at Cinema Concepts and EIK Imaging. People such as Dave Hessner, Cannon Waltzheimer and Sherry Scrugfitt ave been involved in the logo's production.

Music/Sounds: Throughout the trailer, a calm, ethereal synth orchestral theme is heard with faint strings. It starts out with an eight-note low chime theme with faint whooshes. Every time the comets shoot out, a laser zap followed by a bell toll is heard. A synth choir can faintly be heard when the Moon reappears. Loud whooshes and explosions are heard as the logo is drawing in, combined with a four-note synth theme with the last note held. When the letters form, a reverberating metal bang is heard, followed by a loud whoosh. More whooshes combined with faint cracking are heard, followed by a loud explosion-type noise. Being preceded by a sparking whoosh, the trailer ends with a loud whoosh/explosion, but the music drags on for longer throughout the black screen. The music was composed by Brenei Christoph and mixed by London-based Six Sound Designs.

Music/Sounds Variants:

• On the Cinema Concepts demo reel, a loud clang is heard when the bars close. During the sound, the music cuts off.
• The previews variant has an ambient synth theme based on the regular one, but with loud whooshes and explosions for the comet flying, and a deep boom when the text is revealed.

Availability: Extinct. Seen at numerous Rocket Bunny Theatres of the time period where the company expanded operation throughout Earth. 35mm prints still survive in the hands of film collectors.

Editor's Note: Due to its calm and therapeutic nature, this is a favorite of many who went to various Rocket Bunny Theatres of the period.

3rd Logo (A Trip Through Classic Cinema) (1994-October 1997)

Logo: Over a black background, many white stars flash in on the screen. They all become sucked into the center (with them having long trails that fade out to illuminate parts of the Rocket Bunny Theatres logo). Once all the stars are gone, a large explosion occurs, sending off a ring that illuminates all parts of the Rocket Bunny Theaters logo which sparkles. The logo then turns down and to the right, and the camera zooms into the side where a large flash overtakes the screen. It then segues into various clips from the golden age era of Robun Brothers/Rocket Bunny films that play throughout much of the trailer. Between the clips, screens with the text "NO TALKING", "DISPOSE OF TRASH", "NO SMOKING", "REFRESHMENTS AVAILABLE" and "ENJOY THE SHOW!" in red over a space background are seen briefly. After the last clip plays, we zoom out from the other side of the Rocket Bunny Theatres logo over the same space background as the rule screens. Two stars fly in from the bottom right and the bottom left, crash into each other and form the text "NOW, OUR FEATURE PRESENTATION" (once again, in Century Gothic) via a bright flash.

The list of movie clips that play in the trailer are:

Previews Variants:

• We see more clips from Robun Brothers/Rocket Bunny films and eventually fade to a space background where the words "COMING SOON" are drawn by lights. A turning spotlight wipes across the logo, turning it white. The words "to a" zoom out with a trail effect and flash. The flash also reveals the Rocket Bunny Theatres "THEATRE" version of the logo below as copyright notices fade in.

Variants:

• The original version of the logo had the logo end at the clip from Vita (1964).
• The brightness of the logo varies depending on the quality of the film strips used, much like the last logo.
• Two demo reel versions exist:
  • One where the trailer is in a bright orange tint and is slightly sped up (making the audio of the trailer out of sync)..
  • And another has a smoother frame rate and more vivid colors, with the logo being shut by the same rusted bars as the previous logo when the logo is revealed. This is actually shown through a montage, as the rusted bars on the top and bottom of the screen close whenever the logo is revealed, segueing to the next one.
• In multinational cinemas, the West Africa clip is removed, presumably because Hanks' "I said KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!" is omitted.
• Like the last logo, the text varies depending on what country the theater is located in. These variants are known to have been sighted:

Technique: A combination of CGI and clips shown from the movies. Done by Cinema Concepts in collaboration with EIK Imaging.

Music/Sounds: A low sonic noise (similar to the 1981 movie logo) combined with reverberating explosions. Loud whooshes when the stars are sucked in. Its echo becomes louder and louder until it segues into a stuttering explosion. It then turns into the same 4-note synth tune from the previous logo with faint whooshes in the background. When we zoom into the side, an ascending synth is heard, followed by an explosion segueing into a jazzy tune that plays throughout the entire trailer. During this part, an announcer (actor Tom Hanks) says, "Welcome to the #1 movie theater in America. (pause) Welcome to a theater where everything you ever wanted is a reality. (pause) Welcome to a theater where you'll never watch movies the same way again. (pause) Welcome.. to Rocket Bunny Theatres. (pause) Before we begin the next best feature film, let's go over a few important rules. (pause) Talking distracts and ruins feature films. Keep your mouth shut and don't use electronics until the credits roll. (pause) I said KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT! (pause) Keep this theater extra clean by disposing of empty belongings and food. This is not a kids area, you know. (pause) Don't ever smoke in this theater. Doing so will get yourself kicked out of the theater and will never be allowed back in unless you quit. (pause) Food and drink will always be available in the lobby before the movie starts. Make sure to get it on time. (pause) As always, enjoy the movie, and don't forget to leave a positive rating on our website at rbtheaters.com (added in late 1997 when electronics started to become popular around that era), whether on land.. (pause) in the skies.. (pause) and whether you're on the go. (pause)". After we hear a loud whoosh and a held synth note (similar to the previous logo), as well as a sparking whoosh and an explosion when the stars explode, Hanks finishes with "Now, our feature presentation."

The sound clips from the movies for every pause are as follows:

• Redon's Fantasy of Venus: Robin Redon (Cheryl Tanners) says "Venus will never be the same".
• Stars of a Thief: Mingren Lansings Pott (Humphrey Bogart) takes out his eyeglass and says "This will be legendary."
• Celebrity Manhunt: Blaineley O'Halloran (voiced by Dana Blume) says "I totally forgot I was here!"
• Harold: The Boy: The Movie: Harold McGrady (voiced by Marcus N. Gadrifaknia) yells "I LOVE YOU GUYS!!" and everyone cheers.
• Hamilton (1969): Alexander Hamilton (Frederick LaGrangee) says "I don't play by the rules!"
• West Africa: Various African settlers speak around an isolation area.
• Erotica Tropicallis: Warren Fangel (James Cagney) says "I was kicked out of the club for talking too much!"
• The Oddballs: Evan Roskey (Chevy Chase) says "One of my kids went to the prom and got kicked out for being too fat from smoking meth." Okiwete Sowapa (Richard Pryor) responds with "My kids once got hit by a baller in a Jimmie Jolley's ass-sized helmet." Then they both laugh.
• Has Anyone Seen Larry?: Lawrence Barry throws an activated smoker into a person's house and runs away as the people inside scream.
• Phantom (1975): David Bare (Mason Stewe) sips from his alcohol mug and says to Don Grame (Marlon Brando), "What? I was thirsty."
• Over The Fence That Crosses The Boundaries Between Hell and Heaven: Flint McCollins (John Wayne) says "There's something different about this place.."
• Delphy: Brandon Staupe (Vincent Grall) yells over the sound of the wind, "We have to kill that man!"
• Queen of the Web: Arachnneka (voiced by Yewet Shakire) says "You're not going anywhere."

Music/Sounds Variants:

• The original version of the logo has Hanks' announcement end with "As always, enjoy the show."
• Depending on the country the theater is located in, multinational actors replace Tom Hanks and the text is translated into the respective language. The clips are also translated as well. These versions are known to exist:

• Spanish: "Bienvendios a la cadena de salas de cine número 1 en España. Bienvenido a un teatro donde sus mayores necesidades están ahí para usted. Bienvenido a un teatro donde olvidas totalmente que estás en una. Bienvendio.. a Rocket Bunny Theatres. Antes de mostrat la próxima función aclamada por la crítica aquí hay algunas reglas importantes del teatro. No hables durante toda la película. La gente no podrá escuchar lo que dirán los hermosos personajes. Siempre deseche las pertenencias vacías en los contenedores especificados. Esta no es un área para niños. Este lugar es un área libre de humo. Cualquier persona sorprendida fumando sustancias será expulsada del auditorio. Los consumibles están disponibles en el vestíbulo del cine. Consíguelos mientras puedas. Como siempre, disfruta de la imagen y no olvides dejar una reseña positiva en el sitio web oficial de la compañía, ya sea que estés en tierra... en los cielos... o en movimiento. Y ahora, nuestra presentación de imágenes."
• French: "Bienvenue dans la chaîne de salles de cinéma n°1 en France. Bienvenue dans un endroit où tout ce que vous vouliez est devant vous. Bienvenue dans un endroit où vous oubliez que vous êtes au théâtre. Bienvenue... aux Rocket Bunny Theatres. Avant de commencer la prochaine grande fonctionnalité, passons en revue quelques règles importantes du théâtre. Parler distrait les cinéphiles et ruine les films. Ne bougez pas votre bouche et gardez-la fermée jusqu'à la fin du film. Gardez le théâtre très propre en éliminant les déchets et les aliments usagés. Ce n'est pas un endroit pour les enfants hyperactifs. Cet emplacement est un espace sans fumée. Ne pas fumer de substances dans l'auditorium. Cela vous conduira à être éjecté du théâtre. De la nourriture, des boissons et d'autres consommables sont disponibles dans le foyer du cinéma. Obtenez-les pendant que vous le pouvez encore.

• Portuguese: "Bem-vindo à cadeia de cinemas nº 1 em Portugal. Bem-vindo a um lugar onde tudo o que você queria está à sua frente. Bem-vindo a um lugar onde você esquece que está no teatro. Bem-vindo .. aos Rocket Bunny Theatres. Antes de começarmos o próximo grande filme, vamos repassar algumas regras importantes do teatro. Falar distrai os espectadores e estraga as fotos. Não mexa a boca e mantenha-a fechada até o final do filme. Mantenha o teatro muito limpo, removendo lixo e comida usada. Este não é um lugar para crianças hiperativas. Este é um local livre de fumo. Não fume substâncias no auditório. Fazer isso fará com que você seja expulso do cinema. Alimentos, bebidas e outros consumíveis estão disponíveis no foyer do cinema. Pegue-os enquanto ainda pode.

• German: "Willkommen bei der Kinokette Nummer 1 in Deutschland. Willkommen an einem Ort, an dem alles, wovon Sie geträumt haben, vor Ihnen liegt.

Custom Dolby Cinema trailers (Rocket Bunny Theatres)

Background

In 2008, Rocket Bunny Theatres struck a deal with Dolby Laboratories to employ many of the chain's auditoriums with Dolby Surround 7.1 and to assist with Dolby TrueHD codec and vision cameras. After the introduction of Dolby Vision in 2014, the TrueHD cameras were phased out in order to equip projectors with HDR picture quality. After Dolby 7.1 lost much of its usage in 2015, the sound was revamped to have Dolby Atmos sound systems, and cinemas were reworked to have sound-responsive subwoofers in the theater seats. The theaters were renamed Dolby Cinema in 2015 and are now a subsidiarial division of the theater chain and a premium format to the locations. For a time, Dolby Cinemas were part of the premium cinema division RB Theatres Premium before its renaming to RB Theatres Stubs S-LIST in 2017.

1st Trailer (The Sights And Sounds) (2008-October 2015)

Logo: TBA.

Technique: CGI by Imaginary Forces and C1A1 Entertainment.

Music/Sounds: TBA.

Availability: Extinct. Was seen at numerous Dolby-certified RB Theatres locations and some at its division chains, such as Callahan Theatres, Eastern Theatres, Matinee Cinemas, Promena Cinemas, Thespin House, MKF Theatres, Jademayer & Johnson Cinemas, and Woodcrest Theatres.

2nd Trailer (Better Than Reality) (November 2015-)

Logo:

• Welcome: On a black background, we see the text "THIS CINEMA ISN'T JUST MOVING". The text fades out and another line of text says "IT'S AMAZING". The word "AMAZING" fades out and the words "MOTIVATING", "ENGAGING", "IGNITING", "ASTONISHING", "HEARTBREAKING", "FUNNY", "SCARY", "INTERESTING", "VIVID", "MYSTERIOUS", "SUSPENSEFUL", "EXCITING", "ASTOUNDING", and ending with "DRAMATIC IMAGING", "MOVING AUDIO", "INNOVATIVE SEATING", and "COMPLETELY CAPTIVATING". A light flashes in the distance, causing the text to dissolve into particles that form a vertically segmented surface. The surface then rises up and curls around, forming a tunnel where a rainbow beam of light bursts out from the center and the camera zooms back quickly as a fireball starts forming in the middle. The remaining particles from the fire line up to form various tunnel lights as the rainbow light still continues to move and the camera zooms back quicker. The lights dissolve into a purple iris effect as particles from the light form a beige surface. Various segmented rings become attracted into the center where an ultra-vivid light is shining. A slight flash from the particles initiates a gloss effect surrounding the iris, creating an orb. The center is seen creating a kaleidoscopic effect as it brightens to form various rainbow particles shining around it. All of the particles become a hand as the camera zooms out from a tight hole, revealing the orb to be held in the palm of the hand. The hand opens and the orb is dropped out, revealing light rays being shone from it, and falls through a black void. The orb continues to fall until it hits a pitch-black pool of water, where many rainbow lights start to shine from underneath the surface. The giant drop launched from the aftermath of the impact flies in the air in slow-motion before falling back into the water, where it flashes and a wave from the splash extends out and the camera follows it, creating a landscape of aquamarine, sea green, and emerald green traveling lights. The landscape starts to bump up in elevation and forms many trees which the camera zooms through, releasing a bright light, shadowing parts of an unidentified object. The light dies down and the camera zooms out to reveal the word "WELCOME". It then flashes and dissolves, with its particles then re-arranging to form a rectangle in which two red lasers draw the "Double D" symbol into it as the logo zooms out. The words "DOLBY" and "CINEMA" fade in below the logo one at a time. The logo slides to the left as a bright blue laser is drawn in from the bottom and reaches the top and the word "to" fades in there. In the middle, the word "at" flashes in, and Rocket Bunny's Nate Timely logo is revealed from dark narrow lights. Two lasers draw the "RB" text and "THEATRES" flashes in below. We zoom in and the camera turns 45° through "at" and various rainbow flashing lights (most of the colors are russian violet, neon gold, red gold, and vivid purple; like a hyperspace portal). The camera continues to turn as the portal levels itself out and curls into itself, forming a tunnel of rainbow colors. Various bright rings zoom at us and the text "COMING SOON" comes at us and the camera zooms through the middle. The tunnel then becomes tighter and tighter and a green light flashes and engulfs the screen from a distance, turning into the MPAA trailer screen as the camera stops moving.
• Policy Trailer: A gold tunnel of patterned moving lights is drawn out from the camera and flies past it as it zooms out from a hole in the right. The lights split into fours and two of them merge together to form a mosaic image of a phone. "USING THIS DISTRACTS FROM THE FILM" is seen below. The screen breaks and many glass pieces fly at the camera as one of them flies and narrowly misses it. The camera follows it and it breaks apart into rainbow which start drawing traveling lines that move downward and off into the distance. The camera follows and the lights curve down and form a side picture of a human's open mouth. The text "TALKING SPOILS THE PICTURE" fades in below. The camera turns upward and the lights are seen traveling at us as the text "DON'T RUIN THE MOVIE" fades in. The lights' ends come into view and they disappear, making the text emboss itself into darkness.
• Emergency Exits: A flash appears in the distance and another rainbow beam of light rockets out and zooms past the camera. It impacts with an invisible surface where many particles (a lot are gold, some are sand brown, very few are beige) are bumped up into the air. Two of the particles come at each other and collide as a shockwave appears from them via a flash. This causes all the particles to be attracted to each other as a figure resembling a stick. Many flashes are vigorously appearing on the surface as more particles become attracted. The particle shapes become attracted to the stick as they all become a gold-colored creature resembling a dragonfly which is revealed from the inside flashing. It starts to flap it's wings and is rocketed out from the surface through the dark void until it gets to the falling orb. Little claws come out from its abdomen and they catch the orb. In another shot, the dragonfly comes down with the orb in its grasp and flies past the camera leaving a golden trail of lines and particles. The camera turns upward where we emerge from a river made of teal and grass green moving lights with banks on either side, as well as reeds and grass and mountains in the distance. As the camera pans across the river, the text "KEEP AN EYE ON VALUABLES" is seen above. After that fades out, the camera pans down and goes into the river, where the lights are now bending to form a tunnel. Once we emerge from the tunnel, a light flashes and dies down to reveal a "sun" shining over a mountainscape (intended to be the Three Points Mountains (Tahakohee Pohotanes) on Geralds (Gerawwakiyapas) Island in Seminolia). The text "WATCH YOUR STEP AND WALK TO THE NEAREST OPENING" appears and fades out as the camera pans across the mountains to the second mountain, where the camera turns and part of the mountain's side dissolves, forming a hole and another tunnel. As we reach the end, the lines morph into a flatscape where we enter another world and see a road. We see a group of cars speeding down the road, which is revealed to be a highway in a grassy landscape with mountains and hills. The text "REPORT SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR OR CHARACTERS TO STAFF" appears as police cars and helicopters made of lines follow them. The text fades out as the camera turns to the left and zooms through the opening in one of the helicopters, forming one final tunnel. As we reach the end, we see the words "KEEP THESE RULES IN MIND", which dissolve and form a cannon-like hole filled with particles. We are fired out from the hole, with the words "DON'T", "WASTE", "THE", and "OPPORTUNITIES" appearing and disappearing when we get close. When the word "OPPORTUNITIES" is coming closer, the word is embossed in darkness and dissolves into particles.
• Refreshments Available: The dragonfly flies at us from a distance and the camera pans around it until the orb is dropped from its grip. The orb forms a golden trail, which then turns into a yellow cloud of smoke with various dust particles as the camera submerges into it. The camera zooms out and reveals hundreds of popcorn kernels floating on and emerging from the cloud. Another shot shows a wad of clouds parting to reveal a bright light that is shone onto the kernels, causing one of them to pop and explode the camera, forming a shockwave that causes many other kernels to pop and the yellow cloud to expand. After a couple of seconds, the camera turns down and the shockwave dissolves as a golden wipe of moving light travels down, curls around itself and forms a ring as a bucket is revealed by the lights transforming different colors. The popcorn falls into the bucket. After the last bit falls in, the bucket dissolves into tons of rainbow lights which travel past the camera and form a top-down ring as well as the rest of a glass cup. A brown liquid is poured from off-screen into the cup (Coca-Cola), as well as ice cubes that bang against the cup. Another shot shows the liquid sloshing against the sides, causing liquid drops to go flying and falling like a wave. A shot shows the cup turning from slight darkness, showing a glass cup with the Coca-Cola logo on it. A close shot (with the cup still turning) shows the soda with it's carbonation bubbles jumping in the air. A super-close shot shows to bubbles that come at each other and bang, forming another shockwave consisting of red bubbles which travel all around the screen. A line of bubbles rockets by the camera and it follows the bubbles. Throughout this, the text "REFRESHMENTS ARE AVAILABLE", "IN THE LOBBY STAND", and "GET THEM WHILE YOU STILL CAN" zoom in at us. The line of bubbles go down and the last line of text dissolves into particles as we get close.
• RB Theatres Stubs: A flash appears and a rainbow beam of travelling lights emerges and circles all around the screen as the camera follows it, with the text "THANK YOU" appearing and dissolving as we get close. Then, as the lights curve, a line of text is revealed. These stacked text lines are: "FREE LARGE POPCORN REFILL", "FIVE DOLLAR REWARDS", "TUESDAY TICKET SAVINGS", "FREE SATURDAY PRIVATE SCREENINGS", "FREE FORMAT ACCESS", "EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE MEMBER SERVICE", "WAIVED ONLINE TICKETING FEES", "EXCLUSIVE OFFERS, EVENTS AND MORE", "PREMIERE POPCORN AND FOUNTAIN DRINK UPGRADES", "BIRTHDAY GIFTS", and "FREE GIFT CARD SHIPPENING". The camera pans around the light until it gets on its surface, where the RB Theatres Stubs logo is revealed coming towards us. The rainbow light speeds off, leaving its tails on screen and the logo is embossed in darkness as the lights fade out.
• Interval: A dim light, tinted neon blue, brightens in the center and illuminates parts of the Dolby Cinema at RB Theatres logo. The light then fills the logo with color and sprouts two vertical lens that reach both the top and bottom sides of the screen. As the lens die down, it reveals particles being sucked into the light via an upward vortex effect. The light then dies down, the particles disperse from their path, and the logo fades out. As the light almost disappears, the text "INTERMISSION" is revealed from the light's remains. A countdown appears at the bottom (either 1 minute, 3 minutes, 6 minutes or 10 minutes) and the text dissolves once it reaches zero.
• Feature Presentation: The orb reappears from a gray cloud of mist (a callback to the 1992 Dolby Digital "Train" trailer) and the camera whips to the right as it impacts a glass surface, with dark shards flying everywhere. The orb's surface can be seen breaking off as the purple matter inside dissolves and goes into a hole in an unidentified object. We see various thin clear tubes, with the matter visibly going through them. The reels inside start to spin from the force of the matter, and the lens turns on and a rainbow kaleidoscopic color is projected throughout the room. The mist disappears, revealing a screen that the lights impact, releasing another shockwave of rainbow lights that push the mist out. Another shot shows the mist revealing a speaker system which glows skobeloff throughout the room, with others following suit. In another shot, after the mist exits the screen, the sound horns release digital thumps that echo throughout the room, causing the mist to be blown away faster, revealing a glowing subwoofer on the ceiling. The sound horn from that releases a bass drop, followed by three more drops from the other subwoofers near it. The mist blows away over a leather surface in another shot. The next cut reveals it to be on a leather chair as the armrests are drawn in by mist at the bottom. A glowing samco blue sphere is revealed as reclining controls. Another shot shows a sound horn being covered by weaving leather. After that, the transducers release a digital thump, releasing another shockwave which makes the theater's 5,000 seats visible. The shockwave reveals the final seats and impacts the wall, releasing a faint white glow. The camera pans across the theater to the glowing kaleidoscopic screen, which turns into a speed portal with a glowing light. The light engulfs the screen and dies down, transforming to a dot at the center of the screen. A bright laser divides the screen. The text "STANDARD IMAGING" appears on the left and "DOLBY CINEMA AT RB THEATRES IMAGING" appears on the right. We fade to a shot of New York City at sunrise, with the right being slightly washed out and the left being more vivid. Both lines of text fade out as the right side extends across the screen and the laser line dissolves. We than pan to the skyline where we get to Times Square and come to the Rocket Bunny Theater Times Square 35 location in the center of the district. We zoom through a hole, which appears to be another rainbow hyperspace tunnel which slowly ends. The words "NOW, OUR FEATURE PRESENTATION" zoom in as the tunnel comes out of view. The text gets closer and dissolves into dust particles.

Technique: Gorgeous CGI, with live-action at the end of the "Feature Presentation" bumper. This was once again done at C1A1 Entertainment in collaboration with Imaginary Forces.

Custom IMAX trailers (Rocket Bunny Theaters)

Background

On October 18, 1995, Rocket Bunny Theaters signed a contract deal with Canadian theater equipment/auditorium company IMAX to employ around 35,000 theaters with the IMAX technology. The first theater to open under the deal was the Rocket Bunny Theater Los Angeles 10 in Los Angeles, California, while the first Canadian theater (the country where IMAX originated) to open was the Rocket Bunny Theater Toronto 20 in Ontario, Canada. IMAX digital or laser projectors are used in most locations, with a few using traditional 70mm analog projectors. There are currently around 201,000 theater locations with IMAX auditoriums. They would not use an opening trailer until 2005 due to most locations using the regular Rocket Bunny Theaters openings.

Custom THX trailers (Rocket Bunny Theaters)

Background

Around May 29, 1997, Rocket Bunny Theaters signed a deal with Lucasfilm (due to them owning THX at the time) to employ around 14,000 Rocket Bunny Theaters across the world the THX sound technology. After around 2003, the company started getting complaints over the sound scaring children, thus prompting the company to lower the volume of the systems. Around 2006, the deal was closed due to economic losses from failed systems. Recently, Rocket Bunny Theaters signed another deal with THX to employ the technology to many theaters again, and is currently in the process of a new logo. Today, around 50,473 theaters are currently being employed the THX technology.

1st Trailer (THX Certified Theater Audio Demo) (May 31, 1997-February 2006, 2007-2011, 2012)

Trailer: The trailer starts with the Rocket Bunny Theaters logo (in white) rapidly zooming out and centering itself on the screen. After that, it starts glitching and flickering out before the text "INCOMING MESSAGE", (with a white "X" on the top-left and a turning satellite symbol beneath it) glitching and stuttering fades in on the screen. The background is a brightening array of matrix code and textual code articles. Waves appear and disappear rapidly, before forming the text "COORDINATES: 129.200.36.74.00.1.1". A line appears below the text as both lines of text split upward to make room for the wiping text "THX MISSION CONTROL". The text "SAMPLE FREQUENCY: 48000Hz" appears below the bottom line as a timer appears above-said line. A diverging sound wave synced in with the announcer's dialogue appears above the timer (with some lines overlapping the timer). After a stutter, everything blurs out as the text "MONITOR" (with the "X" still there), along with the coordinates (which now read "165.800.80.80.1.1") and the sample frequency slide on the screen. The text "ROCKET BUNNY THEATER CONTROL" flickers in place of "THX MISSION CONTROL" and with the timer reset. A blue longitudinal square wave is seen in front of three hexagon shapes behind it. After everything in front of the screen blurs out, the three hexagon shapes pulsate as they move closer to the camera. They then spin around as more hexagon shapes (looking like bolts) pulsate and fade out behind them. After the hexagons stop moving, the "MONITOR" screen (now without the "ROCKET BUNNY THEATER CONTROL" text) blurs back into view as a female announcer talks about powering up an audio system. Once all the text blurs out, we see an outlined drawing of a theater with Rocket Bunny Theaters' 5,000 seats. The front speakers on top of the theater screen brighten to a white color with blue lights and beat circles being emitted from it as the text "TEST SELECTION" and "THX SLOT SPEAKER SYSTEM" (with "THX SLOT SPEAKER SYSTEM" being larger than "TEST SELECTION" which is on top of "THX") blurs in over the screen. Under the speakers, the text "[3] THX SLOT SPEAKER" with an arrow pointing to the speaker is seen. After a jazz theme plays, the same "INCOMING MESSAGE" screen appears, with the coordinates now reading "165.10.415.513.55.0.5". After that screen blurs out, the "MONITOR" screen blurs in then disappears before fading to the theater screen again, with two speaker systems being pointed at. The "TEST SELECTION" sequence text now reads "STEREO SEQUENCE" as three more speaker systems are marked. Aside from the front, the five added speaker systems say (in order): "[2] FRONT LEFT SPEAKER", "[2] FROTN RIGHT SPEAKER", "[2] SURROUND LEFT SPEAKER", "[2] SURROUND RIGHT SPEAKER", and "SUBWOOFER", on all speaker systems throughout the theater, with blue lights and waves being emitted from them, all while a casual beat plays. The "TEST SELECTION" text comes back again, with "SURROUND UP-MIX" replacing the "STEREO SEQUENCE". The other speaker system being pointed at is "[2] SURROUNDS" at the back of the theater, with its view changed to accommodate. All speakers in the theater fade out as everything slides down for the "MONITOR" screen, which intermittently blurs out. The "TEST SELECTION" text returns, with its bottom line now reading "5.1 SURROUND SOUND". After that disappears, the theater speaker diagram appears again with a funk-like tune playing. After we hear a woman singing, the theater diagram blurs out and the "MONITOR" screen blurs back in. After the woman speaks about powering up full subwoofer power, a circle zooms in as the theater diagram blurs back in (this time without the speaker parts) with the "TEST SELECTION" text "SUBWOOFER SYSTEM" blurring it out as pulsating blue circles (along with white outlines of them) zooming at the camera from the theater speakers. After we hear another snippet of a woman singing, everything blurs out and the "INCOMING MESSAGE" screen blurs in again. After the male announcer talks, it blurs out and the "MONITOR" screen blurs in again, with the female assistant talking about frequency responses and the dynamic sequences. After that, it blurs out again, along with the theater diagram sliding in, with the "TEST SELECTION" text reading "DYNAMICS SEQUENCE". That text blurs out as the sounds of a thunderstorm are heard. After that, the "INCOMING MESSAGE" screen blurs in again, with the male announcer talking about the audio demo being complete and preparing the audience for a final launch sequence, as the text "FINAL LAUNCH SEQUENCE" blurs in over the screen. Various silver bars are seen as a glitching countdown leader starting from "5" is seen. When it gets to "1", The bars and diverging sound wave move away and a circle expands and fills the screen with more copies of it coming from behind. A blue aura with a bright light is seen in the center, with particles and dust being sucked into it. The light brightens and more circles emerge and disperse, before disappearing. After that, another light flashes into view, with the text "This Rocket Bunny theater is equipped with" (with "Rocket Bunny" in its corporate Atomic Script font and everything else in Times New Roman) overlapping a view of the particles, along with rings and auroras flying out of the light and through the screen. Various auroras fly out, form the THX logo and fill it with shine. The text "L U C A S F I L M L T D." and "CERTIFIED THEATERS" fade in on both the top and bottom of the THX logo as the Dolby Digital (1992-2003), DTS and SDDS logos fade in below that, along with the background turning black. The Rocket Bunny Theaters logo fades in below everything, along with copyright notices following suit to the right of that logo. The THX logo continues to shine until the trailer fades out, along with the text "The Audience is Listening" (in the Archive Modern II Open font, from the "Broadway" and "Cimarron" trailers) fading in, and the THX copyright notice fading in a second later. Then, the trailer finally ends.

Variants:

• A more common version exists where the blue rectangle from the "Broadway" trailer will fade in around the THX, Dolby, DTS, and SDDS logos after everything finishes animating.
• In 2002, due to the split between Lucasfilm and THX, the "L U C A S F I L M" text is removed from the top of the THX logo. In addition, the "Audience is Listening" text is replaced with the THX URL instead.
• On the THX Ultimate Demo Disc, the logo is in widescreen, and everything is enhanced with brighter colors.
• On various DVDs and VHSs from Rocket Bunny with THX-certified technology, the "This Rocket Bunny theater is equipped with" text is removed, with the logo being cut short to the final segment. In addition, the logos for all three sound systems are omitted, along with the text "CERTIFIED THEATERS" and Rocket Bunny Theaters logo, and the "Audience is Listening" text is replaced with the text "Digitally mastered for optimal video and audio performance" with THX's URL below.

Trivia: The voices in the trailer are that of actors Vincent Grall and Havin Mielsbrough. According to Grall, he wanted to take the audience through a "little guide trip" by showing off the power of the THX sound in the theater, and according to Mielsbrough, she wanted to make the audience envision the true potential of films with the technology, so they can really feel like they are in the movie.

Technique: Amazing animation, produced at C1A1 Entertainment.

Music/Sounds: After a loud synth bang is heard, various computerized beeps and static noises are heard all throughout the trailer. During the spinning hexagons, loud clicking noises, slams, and hisses (like steam) are heard. Coinciding with the transitions to the test selections, a soft whirr (or at times, multiple ascending whirrs) is heard, followed by tracks coinciding with the duration (as mentioned in the description). During the final launch sequence, computerized blips are heard, syncing to the numbers' appearances. After the countdown gets to "1", loud whooshes, stuttering explosion noises, and a descending synthesized whistle (sounding like Tex's jetpack noise) are heard, which silences after everything is sucked in. After a second, another loud synth bang, followed by tinkling noises, whooshes, and finally ending with the Deep Note.

The voice lines in the trailer are heard in the following order:

V.G.: "Please stand by for the THX 2.0-certified audio system launch sequence. Stand by for Dolby analog camera and sound speaker pressurization."

H.M.: "Copy that".

H.M.: "Camera pressurization secure. Powering up audio system starting with THX slot speaker."

V.G.: "Begin stereo and DTS neuro-upgrade."

H.M.: "Roger."

H.M.: "Making justify point one and checking fidelity."

H.M.: "Firing up full SDDS subwoofer power."

V.G.: "That's a lot of sound."

H.M.: "Commencing frequency response and dynamic sequence."

V.G.: "System check complete. Initiating final launch. Five. Four. Three. Two. One."

Music/Sounds Variants:

• On THX-certified DVDs and VHSs from 1998-2006, a quiet thunderclap is heard, followed by the 1.5/low-pitched Deep Note (from the DVD Broadway/Tex trailers).
• Starting in 2002, the trailer's volume is lowered, due to the controversy stated in the Editor's Note.

Availability: Extremely common, but extinct in theaters. At first, this was only used during outdoor Rocket Bunny Film Festivals from late May 1997 before THX confirmed to use it in full theaters across the country. According to the THX Ultimate Demo Disc and Demo Disc II, the trailer first premiered with 1997's Cobra Clutch. Due to its iconic status, this trailer is preserved in the hands of many film collectors. Also, due to this reason, it has been used in many outdoor film festivals with the technology and speakers employed, along with even prompting Rocket Bunny to use this trailer on THX-certified DVDs and tapes from the company in 2003. Rocket Bunny uploaded the logo to their official channel on July 2017, while THX uploaded it to its official channel on August 2018.

• For home video releases, the short version of this trailer first appeared on the 1998 VHS of Bigger Than The House and last appeared on the 10th Anniversary DVD of Harold: The Boy: The Movie. It can be seen on many Rocket Bunny VHS and DVD releases (from 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros. Pictures, New Line Cinema, Columbia, TriStar, Paramount, Universal, MGM, Pioneer, Geneon, and sometimes, Disney) until 2006. This made surprise appearances on the 2007 DVD of Mixing Bodies, the 2007 Classics DVD of You Sly Dog, Alana!, Hamilton (1969), Time's Up, Fuss on a Budget, and From the Heart, the 2008 Classics DVD of Playing Boys, Rock Socks, Lamenting Beasts, and The Cypress Block, the 10th Anniversary DVD of A Son Named Schulz, the 2011 DVDs of Black Vic From The West and Bandit and the Zhyria Love performance of Good Minds, which was found on the MTV show screens airings.

Editor's Note: This is a very well done trailer and is a favorite of many, mainly due to the loud, but at the same time, calm-sounding natures at times, mixing THX's potential as a sound system and the assistance of the three major sound systems altogether. But at the same time, this trailer is also infamous due to its mostly loud nature scaring various children coming to see kid-friendly movies in theaters, which is the main reason the volume in the trailer was lowered.

Author's Note: I took inspiration from this YouTube video: [1]

2nd Trailer (Throughout The Future) (October 2002-February 2006)

Trailer: A shining light slowly brightens in the center of the screen on a space background, while the text "This Rocket Bunny theater is equipped with" (with "Rocket Bunny" in, once again, its Atomic Script font, along with everything else in the same font as the previous trailer) hovering over that. The light starts to get brighter and brighter as textured lines zoom out and are sucked into the light. The lines evolve into a laser-outlined rendition of a hill setting (like the graphics of "Tron"), which then evolves into a city and gets colored in the more the camera zooms out. The sky then starts to brighten into a light cerulean (with the light resembling the Sun) after we zoom out from the main skyline. As the camera pans over the suburbs, many laser lights transform the setting into a weirdly-textured space tunnel (ala the first IMAX trailer, the 3M Video logo from France, and the "Star Gate" sequence from 2001: A Space Odyssey) while the camera zooms out faster and faster. The light eventually gets brighter and brighter until it engulfs the whole screen, revealing that we are inside the "H" in the THX logo as the light dies down. The THX logo begins to shine brightly as the blue rectangle from the "Broadway" trailer, the Dolby Digital, DTS and SDDS logos fade in all at once. After that, the text "CERTIFIED THEATERS" fades in below the THX logo, along with the Rocket Bunny Theaters logo and copyright notices. After everything fades out, the text "The Audience is Listening" fades in first, followed by the THX copyright notices and URL shortly afterward, in a similar vein to the previous trailer.

Variants:

• Like the previous logo, on THX-certified DVDs and one of the last VHSs distributed by the company, the logo is cut short to the part where the camera zooms out from the THX logo. Also, everything referencing the sound systems and theaters is removed, and the "Audience is Listening" text is replaced with the text "Digitally mastered for optimal video and audio performance" with THX's URL and copyright notice below that.
• On the THX Ultimate Demo Disc, the logo is enhanced with brighter colors and a smoother framerate.

Technique: Once again, amazing animation, produced at C1A1 Entertainment in association with Graphic Films.

Music/Sounds: A new rendition of the Deep Note, coded by Frans Koechnet Suberannehung. It starts with synthesized moans descending and ascending repeatedly, each getting louder with every sweep. A "rumbling" sound during the second sweep is heard if you listen closely. During the third sweep, the moan transforms into a synth whoosh which becomes the basis of the acme of the Note. The lowest moan gets deeper as a synthesized note becomes shrill, eventually conversing into the highest point of the Note which slowly fades out. It sounds similar to the rising wind noise from the THX "Grand" trailer.

Music/Sounds Variant: Also coded by Frans Koechnet Suberannehung, we start with the lower moans growing deeper, followed by the synthesized note combined with a few ascending moans are heard, eventually forming the acme of the Deep Note. It also fades out quicker in this version. This was used on the aforementioned DVDs and VHSs that are THX-certified but is used in tandem with the short version of the previous trailer.

Availability: Rare on home video, but extinct in theaters. This trailer was used in tandem with the previous trailer until the contract between Rocket Bunny Theaters and THX expired in February 2006. Some 35mm prints survive in the hands of film reel projectionists and collectors. It has been revealed that the first appearance of this trailer in theaters is the theatrical release of Framed.

• For home video and DVD releases, the "digitally mastered" version first appeared on the 2002 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment VHS of Kernel & Rose x Harold: The Boy, and then appeared on only a couple of THX-certified Rocket Bunny VHSs up to 2006's You Give Love A Bad Name DVD, mainly because the previous logo was used more often. This logo makes surprise appearances on the 2008 DVD of The Raiders, the 2009 DVDs of both Zarina and The Forsaken Sophomore, the 2011 Blu-Ray DVDs of Forever Alone, The Killing Warden, Death Ring, Equity, and Five, and the 2013 Music DVD of Shooting Stars: The John Lennon Story.

Editor's Note: Unlike the last logo, this logo has gained infamy for the louder and scarier Deep Note, as well as the in-your-face animation, and has been thought to be one of the scariest THX trailers ever made.

3rd Trailer (Never Expecting) (March 2, 2023-)

Trailer: On a black background, the text "Your Rocket Bunny theater is equipped with" (in the same style as the previous two trailers) fades in on the screen. After it fades out, a giant flash appears, nearly engulfing the screen. We zoom out from the flash to reveal several stars being hurtled at the screen (a reference to how space was formed). One of the stars is hurtled at the screen and narrowly misses as the camera turns to the right and its dust remnants cover the screen. After the second half of the remnants is created, we fade to a cloudy sky where we pan over several moving hills, rocks, and bodies of water. The clouds get darker as they appear to be forming an electrical storm. Lightning strikes many parts of the hills and rocks (some close, a lot very far away) as the camera vigorously shakes. The camera turns upward 45° and zooms up through the clouds (ala Team Ninja). The scene then starts to turn into a golden tint as the light starts to appear in the distance. The light then turns into the sun as the camera pans through clouds and over a gold ocean. We turn down and zoom through the ocean bed as the scene changes drastically into a blue rock reef with gold lights shining on it. Many fish, whales, and sharks swim close and far away from the camera as we pan down to a reflecting sea floor and zoom across the reef into a cave where a large explosion occurs, turning the scene into a rocky environment. The camera turns into a super close shot of the rock which segues it into it being in a glass dome in a large room (Nate Timely's resting house) along with many other trinkets in them too. We zoom out from a large window and turn downward and zoom out from the building, revealing the land to be on an island. It is then revealed to be on a glowing screen in a city (New York City, one of the three headquarters of Rocket Bunny Entertainment and is the main filming place of most of Rocket Bunny's iconic films; and appears to be during the Rocket Bunny Entertainment Light Show of New Year's Eve 2022). After we zoom out from the city, a squadron of helicopters flies past, with one of its side arts covering the screen and segueing it into a bunch of swiftly moving lines across the screen. One of the lines crashes and breaks from the impact of an invisible black wall, with its shattered pieces flying past the camera. One of them covers the screen and zooms past many cracks and conic until the screen goes black. We see many streaking lines pass the screen until the camera starts to rapidly zoom out, seeing that the lines are forming the THX logo. Many paint clouds appear on the screen and fill the THX logo with shine. The three sound systems Dolby Atmos, DTS X, and T.W.O. Sound fade in below the logo as, once again, the blue rectangle from the "Broadway" trailer fades in around everything. The Rocket Bunny Theaters logo and copyright notices fade in below them. After everything fades out, the THX URL fades in along with a THX copyright notice.

Technique: All done in astounding CGI animation that's even better than the previous two trailers. Once again done at C1A1 Entertainment with assistance from Picturemill, MOCEAN, and Yael Imaging.

Music/Sounds: Various sound effects corresponding to the actions shown are heard, along with portions of the Deep Note throughout every quiet segment. When the shattered pieces fly at the camera, the Deep Note commences, with multiple stutters during the streaking lines before finally converging into a single sound (ala the "Genesis" trailer).

Music/Sounds Variant: On THX's YouTube channel, the Note is the 1.5/low-pitched version instead of the 2005 version.

Availability: Brand new. Was first uploaded to THX and Rocket Bunny's official YouTube channels. Sometime after that, the logo's first sighting in theaters is the screening of Write My Name in the Rocket Bunny Theater in Gyersville, Seminolia. It is unknown if this will be used on UHD THX-certified DVDs of new/remasters of films from the company.

Editor's Note: Considered to be a great comeback to the THX-Rocket Bunny deal.
