At the end, the "Swirling Star" is smaller and the text says "A HANNA-BARBERA PRODUCTION FOR CITY OF LOS ANGELES EARTHQUAKE PREPARATION PROGRAM" (in the same font as the Taft byline). | * On an earthquake preparation video made for the Los Angeles Earthquake Preparation Program, the text on the bottom says "Hanna-Barbera PRESENTS" with the text below in a Helvetica font.

This was chiefly used to update the logo on ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!'', but also spread to other shows as well, including post-1988 prints of ''Casper's First Christmas'' (1979) and ''Top Cat and the Beverly Hills Cats'' (1988), and was also spotted on an unknown episode of ''Josie and the Pussycats''.
