Playbill

==New York Theatre Program Corporation==
===1885–193?===
From 1885 until sometime in the 1930s, despite the publisher now being known as "Playbill", mostly publishing Hollywood magazines, the Playbill name didn't exist for almost fifty years, with the magazine manufacturer called "New York Theatre Program Corporation".

In the mid-1930s, the New York Theatre Program Corporation switched its name to Playbill, as "The Playbill". Despite there being a standard logo, which had the "Playbill" font, there were plenty of variants used for different Hollywood plays.
===1948–1957===
In the late 1940s, The Playbill modified their logo, deemphasizing the "The" in the logo.

===1957–1973; 1974===
In the 1950s, "The Playbill" rebranded as simply "Playbill", as well as gaining a yellow header as well. This logo would be temporarily reused to replace the 1973 logo.
===1973–1974===
In 1973, Playbill gained a multi-colored header and a drastically different logo to go along it. The logo itself was short-lived, but the format introduced with the logo would continue mainstream use until 2015, and the format is still used for The Book of Mormon playbills.
===1974–present===
In 1974, a new logo was introduced that took elements from the 1950s logo, with a similar wordmark style, only stretched, and the same yellow header.
