This features the same animation, but "Hanna-Barbera" is written in the familiar cursive "script" font first introduced in 1987, and the animation freeze-frames shortly before the original animation ends. This variant also features a Great American byline, and is the only H-B logo to do so. | ||
* Beginning in 1984, Hanna-Barbera created an opening logo to use at the beginning of some of their shows. It's the same as the closing logo, but fades in during the middle of the animation. The text is changed, "Hanna-Barbera" is larger, and a small "{{color|gold|'''PRESENTS'''}}" is shown below. This opening variant (with the regular music) can still be found at the beginning of every episode of ''The Smurfs'' on Boomerang. | * Beginning in 1984, Hanna-Barbera created an opening logo to use at the beginning of some of their shows.

* There is also a variant seen on the 1986 film ''GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords'' and at the end of the 1982 film ''Heidi's Song'', in which there is a large "A Hanna-Barbera Production" byline and the logo is tiny in size. | * There is also a variant seen on the 1986 film ''GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords'' and at the end of the 1982 film ''Heidi's Song'', in which there is a large "A Hanna-Barbera Production" byline and the logo is tiny in size. | ||

*Rest of the variants: The rest of them were all one-shots that aired on ''What a Cartoon!'', later known as ''The Cartoon Cartoon Show''. They're most likely to never air again after ''The Cartoon Cartoon Show'' ended on Cartoon Network in 2003. | *Rest of the variants: The rest of them were all one-shots that aired on ''What a Cartoon!'', later known as ''The Cartoon Cartoon Show''.

Suddenly, some of Hanna-Barbera’s most famous stars start running through the logo, as the square/oval begins to rotate. At the end, one of the stars ends up coming towards the logo, ending in an extreme close-up of the star. A small Turner byline (with Turner's own logo) appears in the lower right. Depending on the genre of the show, one of two similar but distinct variations of this logo are used: one for comedy shows, and the other for action shows. The stars, "music", and logo shape differ depending on the logo. Here are the stars for each version of the logo, in the order that they appear: | ||
