* | * A very early version of the logo exists, where the three small {{color|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 "'''HB'''" cutout. Then, the box grows to become an {{color|orange}} background, the black "'''HB'''" zooms out, disappears, and the normal text appears as a boxed "a" appears formed from the black "'''HB'''" since it zoomed out from the spot and the same "'''{{color|gold|HB}}'''" (using the same style as the black one) slowly fades in. | ||
* On some early episodes of ''The New Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'', it has the same starting animation, with the rectangles moving the directions they're supposed to extend in instead of stretching before they actually do. When the black zooming "'''HB'''" disappears (it doesn't move off its path), it cuts to a {{color|red}} "'''{{color|red|HB}}'''" with the text already on it in {{color|blue}}, with the small "a" box colored {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} and the letter in {{color|gold|yellow}}. It features a byline reading "{{color|darkblue|a division of Taft Broadcasting Company}}" next to a small Taft logo on the bottom. | * On some early episodes of ''The New Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'', it has the same starting animation, with the rectangles moving the directions they're supposed to extend in instead of stretching before they actually do.

* An alternative version exists on some shows from the 1969-1970 season. It starts off with the formation of the '''HB''' box from the earlier versions, but instead of the box zooming out, it turns {{color|deepskyblue|capri}} while the background turns {{color|reddish-orange}}. Then, "{{color|blue|a hanna-barbera production}}" and the Taft byline/logo fade in. The "a" in the '''HB''' box is on top of a {{color|blue|denim blue}} box with an {{color|orange}} outline. | * An alternative version exists on some shows from the 1969-1970 season.

* A similar version exists on ''Where's Huddles?'' where the box zooms out instead of fading to the already formed logo, a la the initial 1967 version. There is also no Taft byline/logo as well, and the background is {{color|orange}}. | * A similar version exists on ''Where's Huddles?'' where the box zooms out instead of fading to the already formed logo, a la the initial 1967 version.

* For a short period, Taft's corporate logo, alongside a byline reading "a division of Taft Broadcasting Company”, appear. This appears to coincide with the logo being used "standalone", with its own music. Box logos that are appended to the ends of shows and have the show's music playing usually do not have the byline. However, there are some exceptions, such as ''The Thanksgiving That Almost Wasn't'', which featured the logo attached to the end of the credits with the end of the show's theme playing under it, but features a Taft logo and byline; and ''The Funky Phantom'' and ''Yogi's Ark Lark'', which feature the "standalone" variant of the logo (with its own music), but no Taft logo or byline. | * For a short period, Taft's corporate logo, alongside a byline reading "a division of Taft Broadcasting Company”, appear.

* Starting in 2003, with the release of ''Scooby-Doo and the Legend of the Vampire'', the "Scooby All-Stars" logo (from the 1997 version of the 12th logo) was phased out and replaced with a recreation of this logo. The H-B now zooms-in much more smoothly before cutting to the finished logo.

Abracadabra Doo'', it now simply ends with the [[Warner Bros. Animation]] logo, as all made-for-video ''Scooby-Doo'' movies were produced at that studio. | ||

* The regular 1968 version of the logo with the Taft byline was last seen on the ''The Adventures of Gulliver'' episode "Little Man of the Year", and on most episodes of ''Wacky Races'' on Boomerang (it is plastered with the 1994 "Comedy All-Stars" logo on the DVD release and the Boomerang streaming service) and the bylineless variant of the regular 1968 version the logo also appears 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 and Blu-ray (some episodes on the Boomerang streaming service have it, others plaster it with the 2003 [[Warner Bros. Television Studios|Warner Bros. Television]] logo, and some cut off before the logo appears). | * The regular 1968 version of the logo with the Taft byline was last seen on the ''The Adventures of Gulliver'' episode "Little Man of the Year", and on most episodes of ''Wacky Races'' on Boomerang (it is plastered with the 1994 "Comedy All-Stars" logo on the DVD release and the Boomerang streaming service, but still intact on the 1996 UK VHS release of ''Wacky Races: Bumper Edition'' from [[First Independent Films|First Independent]], where it is followed by the short version of the 1987 Turner Entertainment "CGI Globe" logo) and the bylineless variant of the regular 1968 version the logo also appears 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 and Blu-ray (some episodes on the Boomerang streaming service have it, others plaster it with the 2003 [[Warner Bros.

* The regular 1968 version of the logo with the Taft byline was also originally seen on ''The Harlem Globetrotters'' 1970 animated series and season 2 of ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!'' (the former was retained on TV Land airings in the early 2000s, with the 1995 silent [[Paramount Television (1967-2006)|Paramount Domestic Television]] logo following; the latter is available on DVD, Blu-ray and HBO Max, respectively). | * The regular 1968 version of the logo with the Taft byline was also originally seen on ''The Harlem Globetrotters'' 1970 animated series and season 2 of ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!''

* Some episodes of ''Josie and the Pussycats'' have the regular 1968 version of the logo with the Taft byline plastered over with both the blacked out 1979-era variant of the original "Swirling Star" and 1994 "Comedy All-Stars" logos on DVD and the Boomerang streaming service, but is restored on all episodes of that show on both Blu-ray and HBO Max, respectively. | * Some episodes of ''Josie and the Pussycats'' have the regular 1968 version of the logo with the Taft byline plastered over with both the blacked out 1979-era variant of the original "Swirling Star" and 1994 "Comedy All-Stars" logos on DVD and the Boomerang streaming service, but is restored on all episodes of that show on both Blu-ray and HBO Max, respectively. | ||
