*A rare variant has been seen on only a couple of TV movies of the era, such as the live-action telefilm ''The Gathering''. It was a still shot with more solid colors ({{Font color|gold|yellow}}, {{Font color|orange|orange}}, {{Font color|red|red}}, {{Font color|pink|pink}}, {{Font color|violet|violet}}, {{Font color|blue|blue}}) and segmented lines running inside the design. Also, it's horizontal and the byline is still intact. It is mainly nicknamed as "Solid Rainbow H-B". | *A rare variant has been seen on only a couple of TV movies of the era, such as the live-action telefilm ''The Gathering''.

*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. Another variant is rumored to exist with an "HB 78" logo. | *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.
