* The 2001 version can be found on early episodes of ''Justice League'' and first season episodes of ''Teen Titans'', among other shows. However newer HD prints of shows that used this logo have plastered it with the 2003 variant thus making it a bit harder to find. SD prints however often keep this variant.

'''Visuals:''' 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.

Other variants feature different characters, such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Taz, Lola Bunny, Foghorn Leghorn, Granny, Dr. Weisberg and Mac & Tosh - The Goofy Gophers who would either say something OR say Porky Pig's line and then chatter amongst each other as the logo fades out.

'''Visuals:''' 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.

'''Visuals:''' 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.
