'''Visuals:''' | '''Visuals:''' Five columns, each made with the words "{{font|Arial|HANNA-BARBERA}}", fade in to fill the screen, colored so that they form a rainbow pattern (similar to ''The Mary Tyler Moore Show''). Suddenly, the pattern then starts disappearing in a zigzag fashion, from the top starting on the first column, and from the bottom starting with the last column. As it all wipes away to one last "{{color|cream|{{font|Arial|HANNA-BARBERA}}}}" is left, it skews itself towards the right and morphs into an stylized, conjoined "'''''HB'''''" that loosely resembles the previous logo, while growing in size. Once it stops morphing, it is filled with a blocky rainbow gradient scrolling to the left, overlaid by transparent black "{{font|Arial|HANNA-BARBERA}}"s, and the text "HANNA-BARBERA PRODUCTIONS, INC." appears below in Eurostile. | ||
'''Trivia:''' This logo is used on backgrounds of the opening and ending titles of ''The Scooby-Doo Show'' ({{Color|green}}/{{Color|yellow}} for the opening titles and {{color|blue}} for the ending titles) and ''Dynomutt, Dog Wonder'' ({{color|red}} for the opening and ending titles). | '''Trivia:''' This logo is used on backgrounds of the opening and ending titles of ''The Scooby-Doo Show'' ({{Color|green}}/{{Color|yellow}} for the opening titles and {{color|blue}} for the ending titles) and ''Dynomutt, Dog Wonder'' ({{color|red}} for the opening and ending titles). | ||

'''Variants:''' | '''Variants:''' | ||
* A variant has been seen on only a couple of TV movies of the era, such as the live-action telefilm ''The Gathering''. | * The positioning of the logo and text in the final result differ from show to show, often having the logo or text slid towards the left than usual. | ||
* Starting in 1977, the morphing animation doesn't grow in size, thus rendering the logo smaller than the also smaller text. The pattern scrolling is also much slower and the logo is entirely centered. | |||
* A still variant has been seen on only a couple of TV movies of the era, such as the live-action telefilm ''The Gathering''. Here, the pattern consists of 6 horizontal strips in solid colors ({{color|gold|yellow}}, {{color|orange}}, {{color|red}}, {{color|hotpink|pink}}, {{color|indigo}}, {{color|blue}}), with thin lines running between the strips. | |||
* On the final episode of ''Hong Kong Phooey'', "Comedy Cowboys", the words in the end result do not move with the rainbow pattern. | * On the final episode of ''Hong Kong Phooey'', "Comedy Cowboys", the words in the end result do not move with the rainbow pattern. | ||
* 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. | * 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.
