<u>Logo:</u> On a black background, three small {{Font color|orange|orange}} rectangles appear, the outer two stretching down, the one in the center extending up, then they stretch, break up and multiply to become an orange box containing a large, black stylized “H-B” cutout. Then the box grows to become an {{Font color|orange|orange}} background, the black H-B zooms out, disappears, and then it cuts to black words reading “a hanna-barbera production” with the “a” in a black box (supposedly formed from the black H-B, since it zooms out to that spot). Finally, a {{Font color|gold|yellow}} stylized “{{Font color|gold|H-B}}” (using the same style as the black one) slowly fades in.

<u>Later Variant:</u> There’s another version from 1968 featuring nearly the same starting animation, with the rectangles moving the directions they’re supposed to extend instead of stretching before they actually do, but when the black zooming “H-B” disappears (it doesn't move off its path), it cuts to a {{Font color|red|red}} “{{Font color|red|H-B}}” with the text already on it in {{Font color|blue|blue}}, with the small “a” box being {{Font color|darkblue|dark blue}} and the letter in {{Font color|gold|yellow}}. It features a byline reading “{{Font color|darkblue|a division of Taft Broadcasting Company}}” next to a small Taft logo in {{Font color|darkblue|dark blue}} text on the bottom.

<u>Availability:</u> Near extinction. The mid-'60s version is still kept on its only use, the 1967 NBC live-action/animated special ''Jack and the Beanstalk'', whenever someone decides to show it but it's still retained on VHS prints and the DVD from Warner Archive. The 1968 version is only seen on the live-action/animated TV series ''The New Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'', and is preserved on the DVD set from Warner Archive. This logo is not intact on the Boomerang streaming print of ''Jack and the Beanstalk''.

<u>Availability:</u> Uncommon. It was last seen on most episodes of ''Wacky Races'' on Boomerang (it is plastered with the All-Stars "Comedy" logo on the DVD release and the Boomerang streaming service) and the no byline version was also seen on ''The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan'', ''Super Friends'', the TV movie ''Yogi's Ark Lark'', ''The Flintstone Comedy Show'', and most episodes of '''The New Scooby-Doo Movies''' on DVD (though on the Boomerang streaming service, some episodes have it, others plaster it with the modern [[Warner Bros. Television]] logo, and some cut off before the logo appears). The stand-alone variant was also originally seen on ''The Harlem Globetrotters'' 1970 animated series and the second season of ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?'' (the former was retained on TV Land airings in the early 2000's with the 1995 silent [[Paramount Television (pre-2006)|Paramount Domestic Television]] logo following, the latter is available on DVD and Blu-Ray). Though some episodes of ''Josie and the Pussycats'' have this plastered over with the 1979 bylineless version of "Swirling Star" and the 1994 "Comedy All Stars" logo on DVD and the Boomerang service. This logo is also seen on the Warner Archive released DVD's on shows such as the two 1973 animated series, ''Speed Buggy'' and ''Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids''. This was also recently spotted on ''The Adventures of Gulliver'' episode "Little Man of the Year" with the Taft byline.
