Merry Christmas to all the world! This logo history is not only to celebrate the yuletide cheer but is also a tribute to Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass themselves. They are both remembered for bringing the Christmas spirit to the box.

Rankin/Bass Animated Entertainment was an American production company located in New York City founded on 14th September 1960 by Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass. The company was first known as Videocraft International until 1968, although the Videocraft label continued to be used in bylines. Rankin/Bass eventually shut down its production company on 4th March 1987 after its last series output.

Notable films from Rankin Bass include Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964), Frosty the Snowman (1969), and Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town (1970).

Not sure what the next logo history will be. Might need to do a poll.
