*This was once found on many movies and shows from the Turner library, mainly on older home video releases by [[MGM Home Entertainment]] and [[Warner Home Video]]. However, ever since the merger between Turner and Time Warner in 1996, many of the shows have since passed on to [[Warner Bros. Television|Warner Bros. Domestic 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. | *This was once found on many movies and shows from the Turner library, mainly on older home video releases by [[MGM Home Entertainment]] and [[Warner Home Video]]. | ||

*The logo is also still kept on much of the [[Hanna-Barbera Cartoons|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'' (1988 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 logo is also still kept on much of the [[Hanna-Barbera Cartoons|Hanna-Barbera]] library. | ||

*The short version of this logo also appears on the 1997 UK VHS of ''The Perils of Penelope Pitstop: Bumper Edition'' after the silent 1969 H-B "Multiplying Rectangles" logo and on the ''Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo'' (1980-81 series) episode "Alaskan King Coward" on both the ''Scooby-Doo! Holiday Collection'' and ''Scooby-Doo! Winter Wonderdog'' DVD releases after the 1994 H-B "Comedy All-Stars" logo. | *The short version of this logo also appears on the 1997 UK VHS of ''The Perils of Penelope Pitstop: Bumper Edition'' after the silent 1969 H-B "Multiplying Rectangles" logo and on the ''Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo'' (1980-81 series) episode "Alaskan King Coward" on both the ''Scooby-Doo!

*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. | *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. | ||
*It was also seen on Movies! airings of ''Crossfire'' (1947). | |||
*The short version was also sighted at the end of a ''Huckleberry Hound'' cartoon on Boomerang in 2001 (which was "Bars and Stripes"), and the short even ended up like that on at least one rerun on the Latin American Boomerang. The same happened with a ''Pixie and Dixie'' cartoon ("Goldfish Fever"). This was odd, as these cartoons aired in a three-hour block. | *The short version was also sighted at the end of a ''Huckleberry Hound'' cartoon on Boomerang in 2001 (which was "Bars and Stripes"), and the short even ended up like that on at least one rerun on the Latin American Boomerang.

Also, it was seen at the end of every episode on both the VHS and DVD releases of the "Cartoon Crack-Ups" set. | ||
*It is known that the logo was present from the start on every 1995 "new modern remaster" of the series and feature films done by Turner before the broadcasters and home video staff made any edits to the prints. While the WarnerMedia-owned channels often plaster out the logo (especially on international airings), 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'', ''The Scooby-Doo Show'', ''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, ''The Richie Rich Show'' (1980) on Planet Çocuk in Turkey, some episodes of ''The Mask: The Animated Series'' on THT in Russia, ''The Flintstones'', ''Top Cat'' and ''The Scooby-Doo Show'' on TV Prima in Czechia, ''Yogi's Treasure Hunt'', ''The Scooby-Doo Show'', ''The Flintstones'' and ''Paddington Bear'' (1989 series) on TV Puls 2, 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). | *It is known that the logo was present from the start on every 1995 "new modern remaster" of the series and feature films done by Turner before the broadcasters and home video staff made any edits to the prints.

*While live-action television series from the Turner library would always have the long extended version of the logo, be it before the intro or after the end credits, there is one exception: the 1977-1983 MGM series ''CHiPs'' actually ends with the shortened variant of the logo. | *While live-action television series from the Turner library would always have the long extended version of the logo, be it before the intro or after the end credits, there is one exception: the 1977-1983 MGM series ''CHiPs'' actually ends with the shortened variant of the logo. | ||
*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 also 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 1994 H-B All-Stars "Action" card before cutting to the promos and commercial break. | **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 logo is kept on the Warner Archive Collection DVD release of the 1995 ''Dumb and Dumber'' animated series, as well as on Amazon and iTunes prints of the show. The same can be said for a few episodes of ''A Pup Named Scooby-Doo'', though most of them have the 1988 [[Worldvision Enterprises#3rd Logo (September 1988-May 26, 1999)|Worldvision Enterprises]] logo instead, preceded by the CGI "Swirling Star" Hanna-Barbera logo. It is also kept on the Warner Archive Collection DVD release of ''Josie & The Pussycats in Outer Space'' and also on the DVD release of the 1993 special ''The Halloween Tree''. | *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). | ||
*The short logo can still be seen on the Boomerang streaming service prints of ''The Flintstones'', most episodes of ''The Jetsons'', ''Top Cat'', ''Scooby's All-Star Laff-a-Lympics'', ''Yogi's Galaxy Goof-Ups'', ''Yogi's First Christmas'' (1980), some episodes of ''Johnny Quest'' and a few episodes of ''Tom and Jerry Kids'' among others. Tubi prints of ''The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries'' kept it, as they use older prints (conversely, the HBO Max prints are restored and therefore lack the logo), as does ''The Halloween Tree'' on the same service. | **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).

*The short logo was recently spotted at the end of the ''Yogi Bear'' episode "Bear on a Picnic" on HBO Max, as part of a combo with the 11th Warner Bros. Television logo. This is because Warner Bros "restored" that episode by keeping it in the same early 80s tape quality, as the other negative materials were damaged (which is why it also ended up like this on ''The Huckleberry Hound Show – Volume 1'', albeit with no Turner logo there). | *The logo is also kept on the Warner Archive Collection DVD release of the 1995 ''Dumb and Dumber'' animated series, as well as on Amazon and iTunes prints of the show. | ||
