*An "enhanced"/videotaped version was introduced in 1997. It has more stars at the beginning, an expanded marquee, the interior of the "Turner" text has more reflections and appears to be shinier, the shining effects on the lettering aren't as cheesy, and the animation in general is much smoother. | *An "enhanced"/videotaped version was introduced in 1997.

*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''. | ||

*2011 reruns of ''The Smurfs'' on POP! in the UK have the final seconds of the end credits theme over the short variant, while the logo along with the H-B Swirling Star and the entire end credits sequence have been digitally sped up to match the ending theme song without the sound of the logos, likely due to time-compressing. | *2011 reruns of ''The Smurfs'' on POP! in the UK have the final seconds of the end credits theme over the short variant, while the logo along with the H-B Swirling Star and the entire end credits sequence have been digitally sped up to match the ending theme song without the sound of the logos, likely due to time-compressing. | ||
