'''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). | '''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.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The theme begin with the sound notes hearing similar to the Universal theme from the late '70s. These occur during the dropping phase. Then, big band music is heard while all of the shapes jump all over the screen and during the formation of the KFS crown. This music could be heard on ''The Beatles'' cartoon. Other times, the opening or end theme may play over the logo. | '''Music/Sounds:''' The theme begin with the sound notes hearing similar to the Universal theme from the late '70s.

*A unique version was seen as the intro to King Features' cartoons on VHS where the background is blue. Here, the crown is above a long white stripe spanning the entire screen, with "King Features Entertainment" on it. Below it is a copyright for King Features Syndicate. "The Sailor's Hornpipe" plays here, in which when the whistle blows, the crown zooms in and takes up the entire screen, with the inside of it fading to the intro itself as the stripe and copyright disappear. At the end, the crown appears over King Features' line up of characters and zooms in, takes up the entire screen again, and goes back to the logo, thus ending the intro. | *A unique version was seen as the intro to King Features' cartoons on VHS where the background is blue.

'''Music/Sounds:''' It starts with a several synth taps, which is followed by a whirring sound getting louder and with more reverb. 4 synth notes then play in series of 2. A drum plays when the text starts to fade in, with the byline appearing with a twinkle. All of this was played on a Yamaha DX-7. The closing themes of the animated ''Blondie'' specials from 1989, as well as ''Ask Dr. Ruth'', were heard over the logo. | '''Music/Sounds:''' It starts with a several synth taps, which is followed by a whirring sound getting louder and with more reverb. 4 synth notes then play in series of 2.
