Because of Jimmy, the music production house of Disney was born. Jimmy suggested the Walt brothers to open their own record label. Jimmy was the President of the Walt Disney Records and he introduced the musician named as Tutti Camarata and announced him as head of the department. Walt Disney Records changed their logo 4 times in the following years.
Evolution of Walt Disney Records Logo
It is because of Walt Disney Records that even now when we hear some cartoon’s soundtrack on the tv, we sing along with it. Each sound is imprinted in our minds as if they were always there. Walt Disney Records changed their logo in the following ways.
1956
In this year, the logo is a square with two parts. The first part is larger than the second one. The top part has two more parts, one part is black and the other part is white. The black part has a white D in it and the white part has ‘isneyland’. On the small part of the square, there are two parts, one part is white having a shiny star and the top part of the star is near the D. The black part has RECORDS written in it.

Conclusion
We liked the shiny star in the first logo. The D is very much gothic but may be, it was a thing back in the mid-90s. The addition of Mickey was very much impressive. On the website, the current logo is on top of the old music player.
