Hanna-Barbera was originally formed as a division of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1944 by ''Tom and Jerry'' creators and directors; William "Bill" Hanna & Joseph "Joe" Barbera and live-action director George Sidney as "H-B Enterprises" in order to produce sponsored films and later television commercials. In 1955, Bill and Joe later became the co-heads of the MGM animation department after producer Fred Quimby retired. After MGM shut down its [[MGM Cartoons|animation studio]] in 1957, H-B Enterprises became Hanna and Barbera's full-time job. The same year, H-B struck a deal with [[Columbia Pictures|Columbia Pictures Corporation]] to syndicate the cartoons on television in conjunction with Columbia's television division [[Screen Gems Television|Screen Gems]] until 1966 and co-produced several cartoons in the early 1970s until 1974 and by [[Columbia Pictures Television]] from 1974-1975. The company was renamed to "Hanna-Barbera Productions" in 1959 and was later acquired by Taft Broadcasting in 1967; Taft was later renamed to Great American Broadcasting in 1987 after a buyout; it would then be renamed to Citicasters in 1993 before finally being absorbed into Jacor Communications in 1997, who in turn was acquired by ClearChannel Communications (now iHeart Media) in 1999. In 1991, the studio was purchased by Turner Broadcasting, initially with help from the Apollo Investment Group. Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera both went into semi-retirement, yet continued to serve as ceremonial figureheads for the studio. The same year, the company was renamed to "H-B Production Co." and renamed again as "Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc." in 1993. In 1992, Turner launched the Cartoon Network, which had been built around reruns from the Hanna-Barbera and the [[Turner Entertainment Co.]] cartoon libraries (pre-1986 MGM, [[Warner Bros. Cartoons|pre-1950 WB]], and a.a.p. cartoons). The same year in 1994, Turner turned Hanna-Barbera towards primarily producing new material for its Cartoon Network when [[Cartoon Network Studios]] was organized as a division of Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc. On October 10, 1996, Turner was bought out by Time Warner. With William Hanna's death in 2001, Hanna-Barbera was folded into [[Warner Bros. Animation]], and Cartoon Network Studios became a separate company and assumed production of Cartoon Network's output. Joe Barbera remained with Warner Bros. Animation until his death in 2006. Today, Hanna-Barbera still survives as an in-name-only unit of Warner Bros. Animation for distribution and marketing of properties and productions associated with Hanna-Barbera's "classic" works. However, not all cartoons co-produced by Hanna-Barbera are owned by Time Warner such as the following: ''Jeannie'' and ''The Partridge Family 2200 A.D.'' ([[Sony Pictures Television]]), ''The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang'', ''Laverne & Shirley in the Army'', ''Amigo and Friends'', ''The Little Rascals: The Animated Series'', and the 1970 ''Harlem Globetrotters'' cartoon ([[CBS Television Studios]]/[[CBS Television Distribution]]), ''Gravedale High'' ([[NBCUniversal Television]]), ''Capitol Critters'' ([[20th Century Fox Television]]), ''Pink Panther and Sons'', ''The Adventures of Sinbad Jr.'', and ''Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures'' (first season co-produced by H-B and the second season was co-produced by [[DIC Entertainment|DIC]] & [[MGM Television]]), and most of the theatrical library.

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. | ||
'''Editor's Note''': Another fairly abrupt Hanna-Barbera logo, and with the animation being more in-your-face, but is still bound to be very memorable to Hanna-Barbera cartoon fans. The 2002 remake is smoother, albeit cheap looking, but is strange to see it appear after something not resembling a Hanna-Barbera production (even if it features their characters). | '''Editor's Note''': Another fairly abrupt Hanna-Barbera logo, and with the animation being more in-your-face, but is still bound to be very memorable to Hanna-Barbera cartoon fans.

*An extremely rare variant features the "H-B", in a more straightforward stencil font, more towards the top of the screen and a large {{Font color|limegreen|lime green}}/{{Font color|olive|olive-brown}} "77" in the same style underneath. There are no "HANNA-BARBERA"s in either figure. The variant begins with this design cascading and forming on-screen, followed by several "starbursts" appearing, and the whole scene then gives way to four small circles that join together and zoom in to become a giant rotating circle, surrounded by a string of flashing live-action lights. Within the circle appear several (fairly obscure) Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters: Precious Pupp, Mumbly, Atom Ant, Winsome Witch, Squiddly Diddly and Chief Winchley, Pa Rugg from ''The Hillbilly Bears'', and Secret Squirrel. The circle and lights then disappear, and (to the beat of the sound effects in the music) a starburst "explodes" several times before the "HB77" logo forms again onscreen. At the bottom for much of the animation is a byline for "Dolphin Productions/New York", with Dolphin Productions, a New York-based company that incorporated the first computer-generated effects in TV logos and advertisements, being the production company behind this variant. This logo was only used in 1977 and was created as an interstitial for the Hanna-Barbera programming block "HB '77" that aired on [[Rede Globo (Brazil)|Rede Globo]] in Brazil that year.

It also recently appeared after the "Zooming H-B" logo on the former's episode "Focus Foolery" when last rerun on Boomerang as well. The H-B Presents logo with the "Meet George Jetson" chimes is rare and so far it has been spotted on many ''The Jetsons'' episodes on the Boomerang streaming service, and has also appeared on airings on Teletoon Canada. The blacked-out byline version appears at the end of Boomerang and DVD prints of ''Yogi and the Invasion of the Space Bears'' and ''Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf'', overseas airings of the latter film have the next logo plastering this one, and it is cut from the Boomerang streaming service's print of the film while the Warner Archive DVD release of the former plasters this logo with the 10th logo. There are also some prints with this logo (with b/o byline) actually plastering the next logo. The film deterioration variants are rare, but were last seen on some episodes of ''Josie and the Pussycats'' and ''The New Scooby Movies'' episode "Scooby-Doo Meets Batman & Robin". The "A Hanna-Barbera Production" variant is extremely rare as well. On ''The Scooby-Doo Show'' episode "Jeepers! It's the Jaguaro!", it has the 1981 logo version of the Swirling Star plastering the 1974 H-B logo. Sadly, this plasters logos on VHS releases of ''Tom & Jerry Kids''. This was also seen on the 1985 TV special/pilot episode of ''Pound Puppies''. The "presents" variant was also seen on ''Challenge of the GoBots'' and ''The Flintstone Kids'', as well as the 1988 TV movie ''Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf'' and at least one episode of ''Wake, Rattle & Roll'' (odd for the latter three, considering the logo was no longer used by this point); it was also used as part of the intro for ''The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera'' (the syndicated cartoon block). The logo has also seen on some pre-Turner prints of ''The Scooby-Doo Show'' on the Australian version of Cartoon Network. It was also previously seen on season 1 reruns of ''Shirt Tales'' and plastered over with the "CGI Swirling Star" on season 2 reruns on Boomerang. This version, the "CGI Swirling Star" and the 1994 "All Stars Comedy" logos below have plastered the H-B Rainbow logo on Boomerang's reruns of ''Laff-a-Lympics''. This was retained on early 2000's TV Land airings of ''The Fonz & The Happy Days Gang'' which followed the 1995 Paramount Domestic Television logo (said logo was silent except for 2 episodes). It has also been seen on some episodes of ''Amigo and Friends''. | ||

The 1998 version can be seen on the first four seasons of ''The Powerpuff Girls'' (up until the episode "Forced Kin") on most reruns and DVD releases of the show. It can be spotted at the end of the ''Scooby-Doo'' TV movies ''Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers'' (1987) (except for the Boomerang streaming service's print) and ''Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School'' (1988), overseas prints of ''Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf'' have this logo as well. Also added to the end of some 1960s shows with no logo (very common in the past, but rather rare nowadays), and is sometimes seen at the end of shows that originally had an older H-B logo or one of the early 1990s in-credit logo variations, but that is rather rare as well, though this has recently happened on Boomerang's reruns of the short-lived ''Cattanooga Cats''. However, an instance of that was spotted on a May 8, 2010 airing of the pilot episode of ''Yogi's Space Race''. The version with the Taft byline still exists on other shows such as ''The Flintstone Kids'' (which was plastered on the WBHV Saturday Morning DVD by the 1994 "Comedy" logo) and ''Popeye and Son''. This was also seen on S3 episodes of ''The Jetsons'' from 1987 as well as the 1986 revival of ''Jonny Quest''.
