CLASSIC ANIMATION" and "WARNER BROS ANIMATION INC." on the top, and "Present" or "Presents" on the bottom from 1987 on. Then the WB shield (in either red and white or blue and gold) zooms in. A few seconds later, it may either fade to a character's head or none.

'''Logo:''' The Warner Bros. logo inside the concentric circles cuts onto the screen. Then, the WB logo zooms in towards us. It then goes down off-screen to show Bugs Bunny's face. The circles then zoom out a bit to reveal the sky background from the [[Warner Bros. Family Entertainment]] logo, and the letters "Looney Tunes" slide in. A print WB logo is also seen at the bottom of the circles.

'''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 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.

'''Logo:''' 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, and instead of "A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer", it's "A Warner Bros. Animation". The word "CARTOON" is still used, and it still takes place in a blue background.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, a series of 3D orange circles come flying into the screen, arranging itself into the famous "bullseye" backdrop. Then a large, metallic WB shield zooms in at a fast pace, overshooting its mark and nearly crashing into the screen (again, ala ''Lumberjack Rabbit''), and then bounces back to its normal position, as "WARNER BROS. ANIMATION" appears above it, and "Presents" below it, in the classic fonts. The logo then comes apart and zooms away. No series logo or closing titles appear.

'''Logo:''' On a crumpled yellow paper background, the WB shield (similar to the 1985 [[Warner Home Video]] shield) is at the center and a little bit to the top of the screen, made out of crumpled dark blue-gray paper and with the space in the lower bowl of the "B" being poorly-aligned, and on the bottom is the byline "'''A WARNER BROS. ENTERTAINMENT CO.'''". Below the company byline is the "'''www.warnerbros.com'''" URL. The logo gets covered up with the ''MAD'' logo all over and wipes to the left for the after-credits scene.

'''Variant:''' On the episode "KoBee Movie/Law and Ogre", the logo is drawn on a flip book, like the credits were. The shield is drawn much more smoothly and the space in the lower bowl of the "B" is aligned correctly, while the text below it is written in a cruder, notebook writing-esque font.

'''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 14th logo, accompanied with the words "WARNER BROS. ANIMATION" and "Presents", in the same fonts as the 14th 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, segueing into the opening intro of the show.

'''Logo:''' On a red background similar to that of the 2008 logo, we see the WB shield and the "'''''Animation'''''" script from the previous two logos. The shield opens up and Daffy Duck emerges from inside. He proceeds to bounce around the screen and interact with the logo, including taking "'''''Animation'''''" and flipping it like a flipbook, then using it to hit the shield like a gong. Daffy continues bouncing around until he runs smack into the camera and goes into a daze. The shield is opened again by an irritated Porky Pig, who grabs Daffy by the neck and pulls him back in before closing the shield, leaving one of Daffy's feathers to float down onto "'''''Animation'''''".

The size and colors of the text are different each time as well.

'''Logo:''' A recreation of the 1960s ''Looney Tunes'' abstract opening sequences. On a black background, a series of lines zoom and swirl from the screen, three lavender and one orange. The lavender lines disappear one-by-one to form the 1963 "Abstract WB" graphic, rendered in lavender. As this happens, the orange line moves downward and back up before turning into an orange "PRESENTS", in a font very reminiscent of the actual 1960s logos. It then cuts to two lines swirling around and then sliding away to reveal the series logo, also including a small blue-and-yellow version of the WB shield from the 2014-present WB Animation logos, with "ANIMATION" underneath in the same strange font used for the rest of the lettering on the series logo.
