*In 1990, a special version of this was used at the end of ''Jetsons: The Movie''. This features the same animation, but “Hanna-Barbera” is written in the familiar cursive “script” font, first introduced in 1987. This variant also features a Great American byline, and is the only H-B logo to do so. | *In 1990, a special version of this was used at the end of ''Jetsons: The Movie''. This features the same animation, but “Hanna-Barbera” is written in the familiar cursive “script” font, first introduced in 1987 and the animation freeze-frames very shortly before the original animation ends. This variant also features a Great American byline, and is the only H-B logo to do so. | ||
* Beginning in 1984, Hanna-Barbera created an opening logo to use at the beginning of some of their shows. It’s the same as the closing logo but it fades in during the middle of the animation. The text is changed, “Hanna-Barbera” is larger, and a small yellow “PRESENTS” is shown below. This opening variant (the version with the regular music) can still be found at the beginning of every episode of ''The Smurfs'' on Boomerang. | * Beginning in 1984, Hanna-Barbera created an opening logo to use at the beginning of some of their shows.

*There is a rare variant of this logo seen on some cartoons, in which the trail is {{Font color|darkred|dark red}} and the byline is nearly invisible. This is likely due to film deterioration, which is quite unusual at this time (compared to the [[Rankin-Bass Animated Entertainment|Rankin-Bass]] logo from 1977). This was used only in the early 1980's and is nicknamed "The Red Swirling Star". | *There is a rare variant of this logo seen on some cartoons, in which the trail is {{Font color|darkred|dark red}} and the byline is nearly invisible.

*Another dark/deteriorated variant was seen on a recent Boomerang airing the 1983 ''Smurfs'' episode "The Smurfs' Time Capsule", where the trail was almost entirely invisible. Only the star and the text could be seen. | *Another dark/deteriorated variant was seen on a recent Boomerang airing the 1983 ''Smurfs'' episode "The Smurfs' Time Capsule", where the trail was almost entirely invisible.

<u>Music/Sounds:</u> Best described as “futuristic synthesized music". We start out with ascending and descending chimes mixed with a "whoosh" sound with each revolution of the star. When the star stops, the entire thing culminates in a somewhat gentle, but abrupt, acoustic guitar and bass chord as the chimes finish in the background.
