*On some Turner shows aired on Teletoon, the logo plays its extended version, but the closing theme plays for half of its length. The other half plays the short logo's music. This was probably done to cover up HB logos, but it's present on the original 1995 print remaster of ''The Tom and Jerry Show'' (1975 version), as seen on Russian, Arabic and Mexican airings of the series. | *On some Turner shows aired on Teletoon, the logo plays its extended version, but the closing theme plays for half of its length.

*A silent version is seen on early 2000's TV Land airings of ''Gilligan's Island'' and the VHS of the colorized version of ''The Philadelphia Story''. The same thing happened at the end of a French airing of ''The Dirty Dozen: The Next Mission'', though it is not known if the issue came because of the editing done by the dubbing studio or if the European Turner master itself is like that. | *A silent version is seen on early 2000's TV Land airings of ''Gilligan's Island'' and the VHS of the colorized version of ''The Philadelphia Story''.

However, ever since the merger between Turner and Time Warner in 1996, many of the shows have since passed on to Warner Bros. Television Distribution (now under WarnerMedia) and thus newer prints of these shows and movies will use WB logos. However, the logo has still managed to end up here and there on some post-1996 releases. | ||

* | *The logo is also still kept on much of the Hanna-Barbera library. The short version can be still seen on Tooncast broadcasts in Latin America of ''The Flintstones'', ''The Jetsons'' (both remastered and 80s pre-Turner masters retain it), ''Top Cat'' and all three shows on the Boomerang US channel whenever they decide to rerun them again. It was also kept on Boomerang reruns of ''The Atom Ant Show'', two ''Jonny Quest'' episodes ("Arctic Splashdown" and "Curse of Anubis"), two episodes of ''SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron'', ''Captain Planet and the Planeteers'' (even modern home video releases kept it), and some Hanna-Barbera specials like ''The Town That Santa Forgot'', ''A Flintstones Family Christmas'', ''A Flintstones Christmas'' and ''Scooby-Doo in Arabian Nights''. Canada's Teletoon Retro kept the short logo on their prints of ''The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo'', ''The Scooby-Doo Show'' and ''The New Yogi Bear Show'' (80s series). European broadcasts, however, always erase out both versions of the logo on Cartoon Network, Boomerang, TCM or TN; if it appears, it's usually unintentional. | ||
*The intro logo can be still seen whenever ''Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School'' airs on Cartoon Network, Boomerang and Tooncast, as well as at the end of the 1966 ''How the Grinch Stole Christmas!'' special on Cartoon Network. | *The intro logo can be still seen whenever ''Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School'' airs on Cartoon Network, Boomerang and Tooncast, as well as at the end of the 1966 ''How the Grinch Stole Christmas!'' special on Cartoon Network. | ||
* The enhanced version was recently found on films like ''Nine 1/2 Weeks'' (surprisingly, the [[20th Century Fox Home Entertainment]] PAL DVD release of said film retains it as well) and ''Oxford Blues'' on the Encore networks, and can be found on the original DVDs of ''Poltergeist'', ''The Wizard of Oz'', ''A Christmas Story'' (it was also spotted on a 2001 TNT airing), ''Logan's Run'', ''How The West Was Won'', a 1998 VHS of ''Gone with the Wind'', and a 2000 VHS of ''Shaft'' (1971), among other pre-1986 MGM films from MGM/UA Home Video, MGM Home Entertainment and Warner Home Video. Also seen on Movies! airings of ''Crossfire'' (1947). | * The enhanced version was recently found on films like ''Nine 1/2 Weeks'' (surprisingly, the [[20th Century Fox Home Entertainment]] PAL DVD release of said film retains it as well) and ''Oxford Blues'' on the Encore networks, and can be found on the original DVDs of ''Poltergeist'', ''The Wizard of Oz'', ''A Christmas Story'' (it was also spotted on a 2001 TNT airing), ''Logan's Run'', ''How The West Was Won'', a 1998 VHS of ''Gone with the Wind'', and a 2000 VHS of ''Shaft'' (1971), among other pre-1986 MGM films from MGM/UA Home Video, MGM Home Entertainment and Warner Home Video.

While the WarnerMedia-owned channels often plaster out the logo, especially on international airings, however, local channels not affiliated with Warner always keep the prints of the shows and films they air unaltered (besides needed censorship), so all the beginning and end logos are kept as is, including this one, which is why the logo was seen on 2000s overseas airings of shows including ''Droopy Master Detective'', ''Tom and Jerry Kids'', ''Yogi's Treasure Hunt'', ''The New Scooby-Doo Movies'', ''The Tom and Jerry Show'' (1975), ''The Tom and Jerry Comedy Show'' and ''Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo'' (both 1979 and 1980 versions) on CTC in Russia, ''The Addams Family'' (1992 animated series) on Nova TV in Bulgaria, some episodes of ''The Mask: The Animated Series'' on THT in Russia, ''Top Cat'' and ''The Scooby-Doo Show'' on TV Prima in Czechia, plus some syndicated airings of the pre-1986 MGM and pre-1948 WB libraries (like ''Kelly's Heroes'' on AMC, ''A Time to Sing'' on Circle and the TV series ''The Man from U.N.C.L.E.'' on GoodLife TV Network / YTA TV). | ||

*The short version was kept on the "Dexter's Laboratory: Season One" DVD release. Notably, ''Dexter's Laboratory'' is the only Cartoon Network original series to have this logo, as it was the only CN show released before the 1996 merger (excluding series like ''The Moxy Show or The What-a-Cartoon Show''). | *The short version was kept on the "Dexter's Laboratory: Season One" DVD release.

*As stated before above, somehow the short variant in high-pitched audio ended up on ''The Flintstones'' episode "The Hatrocks and the Gruesomes" on recent Boomerang CEE airings from 2013 until 2018 (when the show left the schedule at that time). As the logo is always wiped out on modern overseas airings on the Warner-owned TV channels, it's obvious that it was kept on that episode unintentionally (plus it was the only episode on the channel to keep the full logo). Not only that, but post-2014 reruns of the ''Scooby-Doo Where Are You'' episode "What a Night for a Knight" on the channel featured only a small nano-second frame of this logo after the [[Hanna-Barbera Cartoons#14th Logo (September 3, 1994-November 28, 1997)|1995 H-B All-Stars "Action" card]] before cutting to the promos and commercial break. | *As stated before above, somehow the short variant in high-pitched audio ended up on ''The Flintstones'' episode "The Hatrocks and the Gruesomes" on recent Boomerang CEE airings from 2013 until 2018 (when the show left the schedule at that time).
