'''Logo:''' Same as before, except the ''LT'' characters stand beside the 1972 WBTV logo (the Big "W" logo) with the company name on top (in the Warner Communications custom typeface) and the byline "A WARNER COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY" below.
 
'''Variant:''' On the 1979 ''Bugs Bunny Valentine Special'' and the 1981 special ''Bugs Bunny: All-American Hero'', the font in the logo is seen in a black color.
 
'''Technique:''' None.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' The closing theme of the show.
 
'''Availability:''' Quite rare, it's seen on episodes of ''The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show'' and ''The Sylvester and Tweety, Daffy, and Speedy Show'', as well as other ''Looney Tunes'' specials during the era, though most specials plaster it with the 8th logo.
 
===4th Logo (September 28, 1979-November 20, 1980)===
[[File:GW299H194.jpg|center|350px]]
 
'''Logo:''' We see the concentric circles with red rings and a blue center "WARNER BROS. INC." is on the top. Then the WB shield zooms in.
 
'''Closing Logo:''' On the concentric circles "That's all Folks!" writes itself on the screen, this is the same as the 1959-1960 Merrie Melodies closing.
 
'''Variants:'''
*At the end of ''Duck Dodgers and the Return of the 24½th Century'', the center in the closing logo was colored pink (the final scene of that cartoon) and Marvin the Martian saying the closing words, "Don't worry folks! After all, it's only a cartoon.". Right after saying that, his helmet visor drops down over his eyes.
*On ''The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie,'' a custom opening was used. Here, the closing logo plays shortly after the [[Warner Bros. Pictures]] logo, but Bugs Bunny pops in from the left side of the screen and looks at the viewer, unimpressed as he twitches his nose twice. He then goes back offscreen and pushes the concentric circles off screen revealing a blue backstage behind them. He examines the script as he twitches his nose twice again before splitting "That's" and "all Folks!" and using his ears to insert "NOT" in between them (the phrase now reads "That's <u>NOT</u> all Folks!"). Bugs Bunny then raises his eyebrows twice before exiting left. The concentric circles come back the studio logo plays as normal. Afterwards, Bugs Bunny pulls up the concentric rings while resting on the phrase "Bugs Bunny" as he bites on his carrot as usual.
 
'''Technique:''' Hand drawn animation.
 
.'''Music/Sounds:''' The 1955-1964 version of "Merrily We Roll Along".
 
'''Music/Sounds Variants:'''
* On ''Duck Dodgers and the Return of the 24½th Century'', the 1955-1964 version of "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" is used instead.
* On ''The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie'', "Merrily We Roll Along" is arranged by Dean Elliott.
 
'''Availability:''' Seen on many shorts at the time including ''The Fright Before Christmas'', ''Bugs Bunny's Christmas Carol'', and ''Freeze Frame''. Also seen on ''The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie''.
 
'''Legacy:''' This is a well-known logo for many ''Looney Tunes'' fans.

'''Logo:''' Same as the third logo, except with Bugs Bunny (on the left) and the Road Runner (on the right) standing beside the WB shield (albeit without the banner) with the company name on top and the Warner Communications byline below. This is all on a red background.
'''Variant:''' In the early days, the name and the byline were in the custom Warner Communications font. In late 1984, the font was updated to reflect the new WBTV logo introduced at the time.
'''Technique:''' None.
'''Music/Sounds:''' The closing theme of the show.

* In ''Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers'' and (''Blooper) Bunny'', Bugs Bunny would sit on the WB shield and much some carrots. Then he would pull the ''Looney Tunes'' title down like a window-shade (a la the 1942-1948 opening). Plus, the circles are orange and the background is black.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, a green center zooms up as some red rings zoom out one-by-one and arrange themselves into the famous "bullseye" backdrop. Then a large, metallic, ugly-looking red-and-gold WB shield comes from the center of the screen, zooms up to a huge size, overshooting its mark and then backs up to its usual spot on the bullseye (this was borrowed from the 1953 3D LT short ''Lumberjack Rabbit''). Then over it, "WARNER BROS. PICTURES" "wipes" onscreen over the shield in an ugly font, and underneath is "PRESENTS" in the same font.

'''Closing Logo:''' The same concentric circles background as before, but with "LOONEY TUNES" above the center of the rings and "That's all Folks!" tracing itself on the bottom of the bullseye. Porky Pig (voiced by Billy West) appears in the center and stutters, "Bee-ba-da-ba-bee-da, That's all, folks!".

*However, ''Looney Tunes: Back in Action''<nowiki/>'s failure at the box office forced Warner Bros. to reorganize their entire animation unit (while these shorts were produced by the television/direct-to-video animation unit, the feature animation division was shut down after failure). This ended up shutting down production on these shorts in 2004, with only 11 of these shorts (six of them the aforementioned Looney Tunes shorts) completed (however, the cancelled ''Tom and Jerry'' shorts were completed in 2006 as ''Tom and Jerry Tales'' shorts).

'''Logo:''' At the start of the show, we start on a black background with a dark blue light. Then, a large WB shield in the design of the 18th logo, accompanied with the words "WARNER BROS. ANIMATION" and "Presents", in the same fonts as the 18th logo, zoom in (with the shield once again zooming in closer than the letters and overshooting its mark, crashing into the screen, then quickly pulling back-again, a la ''Lumberjack Rabbit''). Around the same time the shield appears, a colorful, painted orange/yellow bullseye "zooms" behind it. Then a quick second later, the shield zooms out, and the camera follows the shield, seguing into the opening intro of the show.

'''Logo:''' Similar to the 16th logo. Once again, the logo is very similar to the 1953 MGM Cartoons logo, but instead of using Tanner the lion with baby blue ribboning, it was replaced by a Warner Bros. shield from the 18th logo, and instead of "A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer", it's "A Warner Bros.". The word "CARTOON" is still used, and it still takes place in a blue background.
