'''Logo:''' In the center of a {{Font color|blue|blue}} background is an image reminiscent of the mythical Bellorophon riding Pegasus or a man riding some winged beast. He is holding a quill pen. On both sides of the image are ribbons with the company's name. "KING FEATURES" is on the left ribbon and "SYNDICATE" is on the right. Below the Pegasus is a monitor-shaped box that says "TV". The word "'''''Presents'''''" appears under the opening logo in white script. Then, a star spins towards the screen from the center of the logo as it fades out. When it stops, Popeye appears in it and toots his pipe, followed by the title screen and credits.

'''Logo:''' On a specific color background ({{Font color|gray|gray}}, {{Font color|teal|teal}}, {{Font color|lavender|lavender}}, {{Font color|lawngreen|pistachio}}, {{Font color|lightgrey|light gray}}, or {{Font color|deepskyblue|sky blue}}), a small {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}} or {{Font color|gold|gold}} rectangle in the center of the screen zooms in in a spinning manner. The three spikes in the crown pop up one by one from left to right. The word “{{Font|Old English|{{Font color|red|K}}ing}}” appears on the crown in an old-world font, with the “{{Font color|red|K}}” being colored a bold {{Font color|red|red}}. The “King” spins and settles on the below left of the screen, and the words “Features” and “Syndicate” (the first letter in each also colored bold red) appear to the right of it and “PRESENTS” (in either black or {{Font color|red|red}}) below. This logo leads into the title screen and opening credits for the cartoon that follows.

'''Logo:''' Against a white (gray in B&W) background, we see a rectangle with a equilateral triangle in the center, along with two triangles on either side with one curved on the each side. On the lower left hand corner and upper right hand corner of the rectangle, there are two dots. The dot on the lower left drops and explodes into 8 small dots and 5 larger dots. The triangle on the left side drops along with the other dot. The triangle blossoms like a fan into a flower shape, while the other two triangles drop and form an hexagon shaped by six triangles, except the upper triangle is missing. Then at one point, we see the four "pieces" of the KFS logo on the screen, before they suddenly "multiply" and jump all over the screen, finally forming the KFS crown logo (which is either fully black in B&W, or the tips are orange when in color), which shrinks and moves to the upper left of the screen above the words "KING FEATURES PRESENTS" (It is ID'ed as "A KING FEATURES PRESENTATION" at the end of some TV shows).

===4th Logo (October 7, 1972)===

'''Logo:''' On a blue background, we see on the right a crudely-drawn crown encapsulated inside a [[Worldvision Enterprises|Worldvision]]-like radar globe, with a large quill behind it. Below, we see the words “King Features” in a bold font aligned to the left.

'''Logo:''' On a cerulean blue background, the words "King Features Entertainment" slowly zoom out. When the words get to a suitable distance, a "trail" of stylized outlined crowns come from the left and right side above the logo, consolidating into one stylized outlined shield. The words "Produced by" or "Distributed by" would appear in an arc above it.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, a blue 3D crown spins onto the screen. It moves towards the top, as the black background begins to become lavender (the color moves up from the bottom). The crown, when it gets near the top and comfortably small, flashes and becomes a 2D stylized crown, similar to the 5th logo but completely colored in. Below it the words "King Features Entertainment" appear in the same font as the 5th logo. The words "A Subsidiary of The Hearst Corporation" appear below it. Sometimes, "Distributed By" may appear above the crown.

===8th Logo (1987-1989)===

'''Logo:''' On a shaded blue background, a 2D stylized crown like in 6th logo, and the words "King Features Entertainment" are seen in the same font as the previous logo. Under it, the byline "A Subsidiary of The Hearst Corporation" is also there.

'''Logo:''' A big flash appears which reveals the planet earth, which is spinning. A ribbon is pulling out behind from the earth (with the words "KING FEATURES" on the left ribbon, and the word "SYNDICATE" appearing on the right ribbon), and the symbol from the first logo appears on top of the earth. The flash dies down and the finished product ends up on a dark teal background, which looks similar to the first logo, with a few exceptions (see below).
