About me

He/him plz. The picture from above is a picture of St. Patrick's Cathedral from when I went to New York City on December 26. From what you can judge, I love New York City. While we don't go often due to traffic and potential crime, I love seeing the New York skyline every time we go to my Aunt's house up north. I love animation, drawing, book writing, puzzles, and of course, logos (for a surprisingly long time). I have always dreamt of making descriptions on the AVID better and have thought up a multitrillion-dollar movie company called "Rocket Bunny Entertainment" (named after a car trimming company, but once called it "Planet Monkey" because that's what I thought it was) with a few other successful divisions which I will show you later.

I was born in Toms River, New Jersey at the Community Medical Center, during 8:30 AM. My birthstone was the emerald and my birth sign was Taurus. During my life, I was just starting to learn about the wonders of the world and developed a strong (but a sometimes private) relationship with watching YouTube. I first started watching logos at around 5 years old, and still have a massive connection with undiscovered logos I will have yet to discover. Outside of logos, I am a huge fan of drawing and sketching (but not coloring) and can draw just about anything if you give me some time to work on it. One of the very first realistic drawings I did was a drawing of Ludwig van Beethoven on my boogie board. Since then, I gained the ability to draw anything or anyone, such as logos, animals, people, places, things, and poses. Much of my addictions come, stay, and then go (like a hotel but a brain), but drawing, especially New York (one of my favorite places in the world) will always be one of my favorites.

I own a wide variety of sketchbooks dedicated to drawing amazing pictures, even maps and logo archives (no, not the channel, but a logo combination I draw in the sketchbook). A huge favorite of mine to draw are Hong Kong logos, since I love writing Chinese text.

I have been secretly exploring the AVID for almost a year (back when it was called CLG Wiki) and finding many pages with incomplete descriptions and grammatical errors. Hoping I can finally have a chance on this site, I joined on January 13, 2023. The very first edit I've done was on the Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment/Clip-On Library as adding legacies to reflect the FANDOM counterpart (which for some reason has the files for the bumpers while we just stand bare naked). Since then, I started becoming one working editor, fixing grammatical errors and getting rid of TBAs (well, if I have the videos). One of my biggest edits (as of right now) are adding to my Dream Logos on the user page and getting rid of TBAs on the AMC Theatres page. Also, I generously help new friends with what is wrong, and is currently working my way towards that 1000-edits milestone.

My favorite/not-so-favorite things

..and many more!

Least Favorite Logos:

Team Happy Rainbow Panda Bears (..just why?)

Timpson Films (I bet the guy who made this was looking back on this and thinking about suicide.)

Fox Television Studios (That lightning scared the crap out of me when I was little.)

Zombastic Productions, Inc. (Just the thought of injecting stuff into people's eyes makes me vomit. 🤮)

Ludo Studio (I despise Bluey with the blistering intensity of Tsar Bomba wiping out the population of Brisbane. I'm still questioning my sanity when I think of this show.)

VID (ANY variant when the mask speaks; I haven't fully seen them but the thought of it makes me not want to look at them.)

Valve Corporation (I'm not scared of the logo as a whole, but I saw this YouTube video and had me scared s**tless.)

Ear Booker Productions (Why? If PhantomStrider watched this logo and saw that Weird Al made it, he would probably hate him forever and ever.)

Idiots (Imagine being in the theater watching The Bobs Burgers Movie and this logo unexpectedly comes on. Not only do you feel the urge to escape the theater because you're watching a pirated copy of it, but you also feel personally insulted at the same time.)

Scariest logo: THX (Lucasfilm Ltd. variant; Yes, I know what you're thinking: "Vmoney, don't you already have this in your best list?" but just hear me out. So, a long time ago, I have this vividly remembered moment when I was watching A Bug's Life on VHS in my oldest brother's room. After the 1991 "Feature Presentation" bumper played, I started to gain anxiety. Then, after the "Modified Screen" bumper, all hell broke loose. When the blue rectangle appeared on-screen with the descending Deep Note, I literally started screaming and pounding on his room's door for someone to let me out. But that never happened, and the Deep Note rocked the room and made me cover my ears so hard. That's why I was paranoid about the Deep Note being in my nightmares for the rest of my days. But after watching THX logos and histories, I started to become addicted to the Note, and that's how I'm a massive fan of the THX Deep Note.)

Un-scariest logos:

Screen Gems Television (S from Hell; I mean, really, these guys are just as dumb as the guys who like Bluey. S from Hell isn't scary at all and that's final.)

Viacom Productions (V of Doom; Despite the dark version being slightly creepy to me, I love this logo.)

Logo variant:

Universal Pictures/Logo Variations (The Fabelmans (2021); I love how the Amblin logo plays over the Universal logo; it looks pretty nice.)

Best logo of 2021: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios

Best logo of 2022: Orion Pictures

Best logo of 2023: MGM+ (I love how they use MGM's font.)

SpongeBob (Nickelodeon)

Peppa Pig (It's funny; those Bluey fans, good luck finding me)

Teen Titans Go! (Cartoon Network)

ANYTHING Disney-related in this case.

Pinky Malinky (Nickelodeon)

Steven Spielberg shows from Warner Bros. (I don't hate them, they do have heart, I'm just not a fan)

Most-hyped live-action show: Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power (I might watch that sometime.)

Favorite movie: E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)

Least favorite movie: The Goonies (1985) (Yes. I'm serious. It's just like Bluey, yet it somehow stings even more. Annoying as hell. Do not watch. I cannot believe Spielberg actually pushed himself through this.)

Most-hyped movie: Knock at the Cabin (2023) (It's filmed in my home state. How hyped can this get me?)

Favorite commercial: ANY Arby's commercial (Luther Stickell advertising Roast Beef. What can you expect?)

Least favorite commercials: ANY Life Alert commercial and Apartments.com Moving On (These just hurt to watch. I don't even want to explain how much fury and depression have been surging through me.)

Favorite fast-food places:

Arby's (Try it. It is the best meat you will ever taste.)

McDonald's (I'm only putting it here because I can't think of another fast-food place.)

Applebee's (Their burgers and chicken taste phenomenal. They really are eatin' good in the neighborhood.)

Favorite non-fast food places:

Broadway Burger Bar (Tropicana, Atlantic City; Basically Applebee's but tastes even better.)

Wawa (Not a restaurant but their ham hoagies taste good.)

Least favorite fast-food places:

Chick-fil-A (Come on, bring the hate. I don't find Chick-fil-A amazing, but if I want to go, that will be the place, but Jesus, the lines and the inflation of food these days. Holy crap!)

Chilli's (The tortilla dip was good but the food was gross.)

Golden Corral (Just disgusting.)

Panera Bread (The lines are long and the food is bad.)

KFC (Only had twice and both left feeling unsatisfied.)

Burger King (I know what you're saying, but the Whoppers don't taste good.)

Least favorite non-fast food place: Lex Mex (LBI; This is where my older brother works during the summer, so I wanted to give this one a chance, but the taco tasted funny. The corn chips (and the blue chips) were good though.)

Best toys:

Squishmallows (basically popularity in toy form and rivaling Bluey but it's something I can actually enjoy. I love the different kinds of animals, names, and bios. They make each toy stand out on its own.)

Fingerlings Hugs (Don't play with them a lot but they are still fun.)

Peanuts plush from Kohl's (I am a huge fan of Peanuts and love the way Kohl's designed them.)

Favorite Animals:

Cat

Lion

Cheetah

Snake

Least favorite animals:

Dog

Ant (not an animal, but they are just constantly getting in our house. Insects can be animals right, or at least a form of life?)

Donkey

Mule

Cow (All three give off really bad smells.)

If you like anything I put in the non-favorites section, more power to you. I just might feel better if they didn't exist at all. Oh, and please refrain from scattering any information about me. It's just all from the mind and heart, and I'm purely doing it all for humor. I also apologize if there are redundant edits going around the wiki. I'm still really new to this site. Thank you for reading all this completely useless information about my sad, depressed, irrelevant (JK) life.

Dream logos

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

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

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 closed them down 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 Adorable Detested Angel, 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, 1939, 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 1947, the logo was in black & white. This is quite rare, as newer color prints were beginning their domination of many older film prints. However, this logo is the one that plasters the previous logos on their films, using the black & white version in place of it, although this doesn't happen often. This can be seen on current prints of films that used the previous logos, such as American Sweetgum, Couple, Redon's Fantasy of Venus, Round Court, and VHS releases such as the 1979 Magnetic Video release of Lighthearted Man Waiting On The Bus (other prints use color prints instead), the 1982 B&W Media Home Entertainment release of You Mustn't, the 1990 Madacy Entertainment release of Ruder, and the 1995 GoodTimes Entertainment and MGM/UA Home Video releases of When the Howls of War Settle.
An extremely rare prototype version of the black & white version is seen, where the "ROBUN BROTHERS PRESENT" text is different from the more iconic version, with the lines and alignments of the Gazooka text being different. This is only known to appear on Painting By The Glow of The Green Fairy.
1941-1947: The text "CLASSICS of the SCREEN" is seen below the statue and text, with the logo as a whole being shifted up. Despite this being used for six years, this one is very hard to spot, due to current film transfers using the regular black-and-white version or plastering this with a current Rocket Bunny Entertainment logo. The only unedited appearances of this logo are Old Woman, New Man, The Ticket Box, the TCM airings of Once Love Has Passed, A Break-Up Happens, and RB Network airings of Fuega. It has been confirmed that the first movie to use this variant was Who Hates Girls?, though it is currently unknown what the final film to use this variant was (it was allegedly seen on the 1947 film Homage to Ashera, but many prints remove or plaster this logo). It surprisingly appears on the CBS/Fox Video release of Voices of Babylon (1945)
Flat: Arguably the most common variant: the logo is zoomed in a little bit. Presented in 1.37:1 academy or 1.85:1 "matted" widescreen, the logo appears to move somewhat faster than the widescreen version. The logo is pushed up to the point where the praetorian is somewhat cut off. This can be seen on many films that are shot in the format, such as West Africa, Cracked Out, Without a Man, The Definition of Retaliation, Heart's Desire, Crossing Sex, The Oligarchs, Dual Form, Sailing to Seine, To Whom It May Concern (1954), Forth, That's What You Get When You Mess With A Cat, Scratched!, Hoodlums On The Backlot, Larry Loud, The Hornbeamer, Celebrity Manhunt, Ice Ringer, Sniper Confidential, He's A Good Skate, There He Goes, Left Hand Low Baller, The Binman, Spiders, 72 to 87, Class of 20, Fifth Night at the Woolner Base, The Live Oakman, The Rookie, Seconds to Minutes to Hours to Days to Weeks to Months to Years to Decades to Centuries, In Rotation, Theodore Can't Get Out of That!, Fox Jeans, The Governsman, Yew, Inspired by the Olold, Away in a Manger, and The Nine Muses, among many others. This also appears on many VHSs released by Rocket Bunny Home Entertainment and Fox Video, with the masters retaining their respective aspect ratios.
Scope: The logo's aspect ratio is shown in a wide 2.20:1 or 2.35:1 widescreen ratio, making the praetorian's head inadvertently cut off. The "ROBUN BROTHERS PRESENT" text is also clearer. Seen on films shot in the format, such as Fire on the Hills, Split Ritual, Lintel, Waiting for Wings, The Death Shot (current prints), Rocchetta, Matra of Death, Vita, The Confirmation, Rednecker, The Three Fates, Karma, B*****tch!!, Hamilton (1969), Far Fields, Tender Yearning, Ferry of the Damned, The Call of Duty (1972), You Said, Bucci, Defend Us In Battle, I Trust In You, Phantom, Flame of the Viper, The Merciless Citizen, among others. This also appears on the Key Video release of Big Game, the GoodTimes Entertainment release of Inua, and the 1999 MGM/UA Home Video VHS of The Binman.
On Bullet Man and Within Cover, the "PRESENT" text is absent.
CinemaScope: The logo's aspect ratio is flatter, the column is zoomed out so that it fits the screen, and the logo and text are farther away from each other. The "PRESENT" text is also replaced with "PICTURES". After the text disappears, the logo fades to a snipe reading "ROBUN BROTHERS PICTURES PRESENTS" in Copperplate Gothic Bold (ala the 20th Century Fox version of the CinemaScope logo). Below that, the text "A", along with CinemaScope's corporate logo below that, is seen, with "PICTURE" below that as well. A copyright notice is seen as well. Despite many movies using this format, this logo was only seen in 15 movies: 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, 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.
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 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:

Much of the time, the opening theme of the movie would play over the logo.
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 "Na Floogal" had the UGC theme playing over it, most likely due to reverse plastering errors with the rights of both Robun Brothers and UGC'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, Take Her, 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 movies 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!, Runers 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.

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 5,688 theaters are currently being employed the THX technology.

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

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" (again in Times New Roman) 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 an ascending 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 encounter 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 2003-2006, 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: Uncommon. At first, this was only used during 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 The Forsaken Sophomore and last appeared on the 10th Anniversary DVD of Harold: The Boy: The Movie. This made surprise appearances on the 2009 DVD of Mixing Bodies, the 2010 DVD of Hot Shaker (2010), the 2015 DVD of Let Us Find Today 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.

Music/Sounds: A new rendition of the Deep Note, coded by Frans Koechnet Seberannehung. 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 many THX-certified Rocket Bunny VHSs (from Warner Bros. Pictures, Columbia, TriStar, Paramount, Universal, MGM, Pioneer, Geneon, and sometimes, Disney) all the way up to 2006's You Give Love A Bad Name DVD. This logo also makes surprise appearances on 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 2011 DVDs of Black Vic From The West and Bandit, 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 Logo (As Time Evolves) (March 2, 2023-)

Trailer: On a black background, 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)
