The color of the shield is yellow, and the company name is absent. Suddenly, Bugs Bunny (once again voiced by Mel Blanc) pops out of the shield, and says the following: "This has been a Warner Bros. Seven Arts-". Road Runner then appears on screen and says: "Beep, beep!". Bugs then continues: "Like the bird says, this has been a Warner Bros.-Seven Arts television presentation". The shield then closes. | ||
*The 1971-1973 run of ''The Bugs Bunny Show'' on CBS (which was produced in 1969) uses the first few seconds of ''The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour'' variant without the Road Runner, before cutting to the previous logo's animation. Once Bugs finishes his line (with "Seven Arts television presentation" from the aforementioned variant edited over "television production"), the aforementioned beginning is shown again, in reverse. This version is cut from the 1973-1975 ABC broadcasts, though the Warner Bros.-Seven Arts logo was retained in the credits.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KpIjGLOKag</ref> | *The 1971-1973 run of ''The Bugs Bunny Show'' on CBS (which was produced in 1969) uses the first few seconds of ''The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour'' variant without the Road Runner, before cutting to the previous logo's animation.

**The show's French dub, ''Le Bugs Bunny Show'', uses this variant with Bugs (voiced by Guy Piérauld) saying his line in French. Despite this dub being produced in the 1980s,<ref>https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Bugs_Bunny_Show</ref> the Warner Bros.-Seven Arts logo is retained in the opening and closing. The closing logo is chyroned over the curtain shot from the opening, with a copyright symbol fading in to the left of the logo. | **The show's French dub, ''Le Bugs Bunny Show'', uses this variant with Bugs (voiced by Guy Piérauld) saying his line in French.

'''Visuals:''' At the start of the show, the sequence starts on a black background with a {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} light. Then, a large WB shield in the design of the 14th logo, accompanied with the words "WARNER BROS. ANIMATION" and "Presents", in the same fonts as the 14th logo, alongside a production number and a copyright notice at the bottom, zoom in (with the shield once again zooming in closer than the letters and overshooting its mark, crashing into the screen, then quickly pulling back-again, a la ''Lumberjack Rabbit'').

Around the same time the shield appears, a colorful, painted orange/yellow bullseye "zooms" behind it. Then a quick second later, the shield zooms out, and the camera follows the shield, segueing into the opening intro of the show. | ||
'''Segment Visuals:''' Before the ''Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote'' and ''Merrie Melodies'' segments that appear in the middle of the show, the bullseye appears, with swirling colors (like the painted bullseye in the opening intro, but with only a few rings) on a black background. The color of the bullseye is {{color|green}} for the ''Merrie Melodies'' version, and orange/ | '''Segment Visuals:''' Before the ''Road Runner and Wile E.

'''Visuals:''' A recreation of the 1960s ''Looney Tunes'' abstract opening sequences. On a black background, a series of lines zoom and swirl from the screen, three {{color|lavender}} and one orange. The lavender lines disappear one-by-one to form the 1963 "Abstract WB" graphic, rendered in lavender. As this happens, the orange line moves downward and back up before turning into an orange "{{color|orange|PRESENTS}}", in a font reminiscent of the actual 1960s logos. It then cuts to two lines swirling around and then sliding away to reveal the series logo, also including a small {{color|blue}}-and- | '''Visuals:''' A recreation of the 1960s ''Looney Tunes'' abstract opening sequences.

'''Closing Visuals:''' A recreation of the 1967 Warner Bros.-Seven Arts Animation closing sequence. On a brownish-black background, a purple "W7" shield is seen. "A WARNER BROS. ANIMATION CARTOON" appears letter-by-letter in front of the shield, complete with the "OO" in "CARTOON" turning red and jumping up and down three times like a cartoon eye take. | '''Closing Visuals:''' A recreation of the 1967 Warner Bros.-Seven Arts Animation closing sequence.
