Filmfair Animation

Background: FilmFair was a animation studio founded by Gus Jekel in 1968 in Los Angeles. Jekel had asked Graham Clutterbuck to open an office in Europe, so he opened one in Paris and later moved the office to London. The company's productions over the years include the 1975 animated version of Paddington, Astro Farm, The Legend of White Fang, and The Wombles. In 1987, the company was acquired by Central Independent Television. Central sold FilmFair to the Storm Group in 1991, and FilmFair's american branch was acquired by AGC (which was purchased by Discovery Communications in 2003). In 1996, Storm Group sold FilmFair London to Cinar. Cinar later got into a financial scandal in 2000, and Cinar was sold to an investor group who changed the name to Cookie Jar in 2004. Currently, the FilmFair London library is now owned by DHX Media (now traded as WildBrain).

1st Logo (1969-1979)
Logo: On a yellow square, we see a carousel horse and next to the square we see the words "Created By FilmFair, London" in black. Sometimes, the copyright will be below.

Variants:
 * On The Wombles, the logo varies in every episode, for example in the first episode of season 1, the logo appears on a piece of paper, and in the second episode, it appears on a bag.
 * On Season 1 of Paddington, the logo appears on a letter, Paddington then takes the letter, and opens the door to the Browns' house to go inside, and then shuts the door.

"FilmFair" in dark blue letters with sparks around it, appears. "ANIMATION" is under it in a red, green, and blue pattern. It cuts to either the Cinar or Cookie Jar logo.
