*A | *A variant has been seen on only a couple of TV movies of the era, such as the live-action telefilm ''The Gathering''. Mainly nicknamed "Solid Rainbow H-B", it was a still shot with more solid colors ({{color|gold|yellow}}, {{color|orange}}, {{color|red}}, {{color|hotpink|pink}}, {{color|indigo}}, {{color|blue}}) and segmented lines running inside the design. It's also horizontal and the byline is still intact. | ||
*On the final episode of ''Hong Kong Phooey'', "Comedy Cowboys", the words in the end result don't move with the rainbow pattern. | *On the final episode of ''Hong Kong Phooey'', "Comedy Cowboys", the words in the end result don't move with the rainbow pattern. | ||
*A | *A variant features the "H-B" in a more straightforward stencil font, more towards the top of the screen and a large {{color|limegreen|lime green}}/{{color|olive|olive-brown}} "77" in the same style underneath, made out of several vertical lines. There are no "HANNA-BARBERA"s in either figure. The variant begins with this design cascading and forming on-screen, followed by four "starbursts" appearing,. 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" three times before the "HB77" logo forms again onscreen. At the bottom for part of the animation is the text "Dolphin Productions/New York", referring to [[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]] in Brazil that year. Another variant is rumoured to exist with an "HB 78" logo. | ||
* Starting in 1977, the logo does not enlarge, and is smaller as a result. | * Starting in 1977, the logo does not enlarge, and is smaller as a result. | ||
