'''Visuals:''' On a black background, a large, blocky "'''{{color|orange|HB}}'''" symbol begins to zoom in rapidly from the center. When it comes to a point where it nearly engulfs the screen, the background suddenly becomes {{color|gold|yellow-orange}} and the "'''HB'''" turns a darker orange. On top of the "'''HB'''", the words "a", "hanna-barbera", and "production" all appear in black, with the "a" inside a square the same color as the background.
'''Visuals:''' While the animation has changed over time, the end result is the same aside from the color palette and some slight alterations to the design.
*'''February 27, 1967:''' On a black background, 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 {{color|orange}} box containing a large, black stylized "'''HB'''" cutout. Then, the box grows to become an {{color|orange}} background, the black "'''HB'''" zooms out to a spot just above and to the left of center point. It then disappears, replaced by the text "{{font|Arial|'''{{color|orange|a}} {{color|darkblue|hanna-barbera production}}'''}}", in a wide Arial font, in the center of the screen, stacked and arranged in a somewhat odd way. The "{{font|Arial|{{color|darkorange|a}}}}" is contained in a black box, possibly to appear that the "'''HB'''" formed the box. Finally, the same "'''{{color|gold|HB}}'''" from before, but in {{color|gold|cream}}, slowly fades in behind the text.
*'''September 7, 1968-March 27, 1974, March 4, 2003-April 7, 2009:''' On a black background, the blocky "'''{{color|orange|HB}}'''" symbol begins to zoom in rapidly from the center. When it comes to a point where it nearly engulfs the screen, the background suddenly becomes {{color|gold|yellow-orange}} and the "'''HB'''" turns a darker orange. On top of the "'''HB'''", the standard "{{font|Arial|'''a hanna-barbera production'''}}" text is over it in black, with the "{{font|Arial|'''a'''}}" contained in a box cote-out. A Taft byline may or may not appear below, and in the latter case, the text is set lower. This is the most common and most famous version of the logo.
*'''September 15, 1968-December 29, 1968:''' Same as the 1967 version, but the rectangle animation is redone to have them appear to be tracing the lines, rather than drawing them, and then the "'''H-B'''" zooms out to the center proper. The logo also appears all at once, with a {{color|red}} "'''{{color|red|HB}}'''", the text and box in {{color|blue}}, and the "{{font|Arial|'''{{color|orange|a}}'''}}" the same color of the background. A Taft byline also appears in {{color|blue}}.
*'''September 6, 1969-September 2, 1970:''' Same as the 1967/alternate 1968 version, but the "'''HB'''" instead fills with {{color|deepskyblue|capri}} and the "{{font|Arial|'''{{color|orange|a}} {{color|darkblue|hanna-barbera production}}'''}}" text fades in over it. The box surrounding the "{{font|Arial|'''{{color|orange|a}}'''}}" is also {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} with a {{color|orange}} outline surrounding it. A different Taft byline can also be seen below in {{color|blue}}.


'''Bylines:'''
'''Bylines:'''
* February 27, 1967, September 25, 1971-March 27, 1974, March 4, 2003-April 7, 2009: Bylineless
* February 27, 1967, July 1-September 2, 1970, September 25, 1971-March 27, 1974, March 4, 2003-April 7, 2009: Bylineless
* September 7, 1968-1969, September 12, 1970-November 17, 1972: The Taft corporate logo next to the words "a division of taft broadcasting company".
* September 7, 1968-1969, September 12, 1970-November 17, 1972: The Taft corporate logo next to the words "{{font|Arial|'''a division of taft broadcasting company'''}}".
* September 6, 1969-January 17, 1970: The byline "A Taft BROADCASTING COMPANY", with "Taft" in form of its logo.
* September 6, 1969-January 17, 1970: The byline "{{font|Microgramma|A}} '''Taft''' {{font|Microgramma|BROADCASTING COMPANY}}", with "Taft" in form of its logo.


'''Variants:'''
'''Variants:'''
* 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.
* 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.
* On Cartoon Network and Boomerang U.S. reruns of the ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!'' episode "Go Away Ghost Ship", the 1969 version of the logo is sped up due to time compression.

* 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}}.
* On ''Where's Huddles?'', the logo plays out similarly to the alternate 1968 version, but cuts to a bylineless version of the 1969 logo upon completion.
* 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.

* 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. This appears on all 2003-2009 made-for-video ''Scooby-Doo'' movies; however, beginning with ''Scooby-Doo! 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 H-B now zooms-in much more smoothly before cutting to the finished, bylineless logo. The final logo also is of lower-quality, with a slightly boxier "{{color|orange|'''B'''}}", a grainy filter over everything, and deformed text with visible artifacts. This appears on all 2003-2009 made-for-video ''Scooby-Doo'' movies; however, beginning with ''Scooby-Doo! 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.

'''Availability:'''  
* 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 (however, it is plastered on current prints of the latter with the 1994 "Comedy All-Stars" logo on the 2000 UK VHS release of ''Wacky Races: Volume 1'', 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 is also seen 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).
*'''February 27, 1967:'''
* 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 original 1967 version is still kept on its only use, the 1967 NBC live action/animated special ''Jack and the Beanstalk'', whenever someone decides to show it, but it's still retained on VHS prints and the DVD release from Warner Archive; however, it is not intact on the Boomerang streaming service's print.
* 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.
*'''September 7, 1968-March 27, 1974, March 4, 2003-April 7, 2009:'''
* The 1968 logo with the ending of the show's theme is also intact on the Warner Archive released DVD releases of shows, such as the two 1973 animated series ''Speed Buggy'' and ''Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids''.

* The alternate 1968 version is only seen on the live action/animated TV series ''The New Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'', and is also preserved on the DVD set from Warner Archive.
** 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.
* Prior to 2004, the 1969 version of the logo was nearly impossible to find, mainly due to chronic plastering. The first season of ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!'' also suffered this as well, first with a blacked out 1979-era or sometimes a blacked out 1983-era "Swirling Star" logo, then with the 1994 "Comedy" variant of the "All-Stars" logo when reran on [[TBS Productions|TBS]] in 1995, and finally the 1994 "Action" variant of the "All-Stars" logo in 1998.
** The 1968 logo with the ending of the show's theme is also intact on the Warner Archive released DVD releases of shows, such as the two 1973 animated series ''Speed Buggy'' and ''Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids''.
* The 1969 version of the logo can be found on a few Hanna-Barbera DVD box sets, such as ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!: The Complete First and Second Seasons'', which means the logo is now more common than it was prior to the DVD release (it is also preserved on both the Blu-ray release and HBO Max followed by the 2003 [[Warner Bros. Television Studios|WB Television]] logo; however, it is cut out on the Boomerang streaming service's HD prints of the series).
** The regular 1968 version of the logo with the Taft byline was also seen at the end of the first season of ''The Banana Splits Adventure Hour'' when it was originally aired on NBC, and also on the 1994 UK airings on Channel 4, which is then followed by the 1981 Worldvision Enterprises logo.
* The 1969 version of the logo is also preserved at the end of a 16mm print of the ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!'' episode "What the Hex Going On?" from South Africa, which is then followed by the 1971 [[Viacom Productions|Viacom]] "Pinball" logo.
** The bylineless variant of the regular 1968 version of the logo is also cut out on ''The New Scooby-Doo Movies'' episode "The Caped Crusader Caper", when it appears as a bonus feature on the 2018 DVD release of ''Scooby-Doo and Batman: The Brave and the Bold''.  
* For a long time, the most visible source of the 1969 version of the logo was the end of both American Cartoon Network and Boomerang prints of the ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!'' episode "Go Away Ghost Ship", which showed the logo in a PAL-to-NTSC transfer.
*'''September 15, 1968-December 29, 1968:'''
* The 1969 version of the logo is also preserved at the end of both the 2000 UK VHS release of ''Scooby-Doo!: Volume 1'', and the ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!'' episode "Bedlam in the Big Top" included on the 2002 UK VHS release of ''Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School'' (1988) from [[Warner Home Video]], due to that episode and "A Clue for Scooby-Doo" being bonus episodes included on the latter release.
** The alternate 1968 version is only seen on most episodes of the live action/animated TV series ''The New Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'' (specifically episodes 1-6, 8, 10, and 13), and is also preserved on the DVD set from Warner Archive. The rest of the episodes feature the "Zooming HB" logo.
* The 1969 version of the logo is also preserved on DVD releases of ''The Perils of Penelope Pitstop'', with the 2003 WB Television logo playing the 1994 theme in low tone following it; however, it is also cut out on the Boomerang streaming service as well.
*'''September 6, 1969-September 2, 1970:'''
* The 1969 version of the logo was also originally seen on ''The Cattanooga Cats'', but was plastered over with the 1988 version of the 1986 "CGI Swirling Star" logo when it was rerun on Cartoon Network and Boomerang.
** Prior to 2004, the 1969 version of the logo was nearly impossible to find, mainly due to chronic plastering.

* The 1969 version of the logo was also strangely seen on ''The Scooby-Doo Show'' episode "The Headless Horseman of Halloween" on a 1990 [[USA Network Originals|USA Network]] broadcast, which is then followed by the 1988 [[Worldvision Enterprises]] logo.
** For a long time, the most visible source of the 1969 version of the logo was the end of both American Cartoon Network and Boomerang prints of the ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!'' episode "Go Away Ghost Ship", which showed the logo in a PAL-to-NTSC transfer.
* The 1969 version of the logo with the 1979 "Swirling Star" music was also strangely seen on both the Australian version of Cartoon Network and Teletoon Canada airings of ''The Scooby-Doo Show'' episode "Hang in There, Scooby-Doo", which is then followed by the short version of the 1987 Turner Entertainment "CGI Globe" logo.
