* Usually, the music used is a five-note synthesized fanfare (composed on an ARP Odyssey synth), complete with a timpani drum roll playing throughout with a final, rather loud pound at the end. Even after the logo faded (or cut) to black, the timpani's echo could still be heard. It is different for both the filmed and videotaped variants, with the audio quality being clearer for the latter. | * Usually, the music used is a five-note synthesized fanfare (composed on an ARP Odyssey synth), complete with a timpani drum roll playing throughout with a final, rather loud pound at the end.

* The very first version of this logo featured the "Pinball" music from the first logo and was used eventually until late 1978 (and was also often used when replacing the original "Pinball" logo, possibly a bad plastering error).

** Older broadcasts of ''Wacky Races'', ''Dastardly & Muttley in Their Flying Machines'', ''The Perils of Penelope Pitstop'', ''Josie & The Pussycats'', ''Speed Buggy'', ''Wait Till Your Father Gets Home'', ''The Funky Phantom'', ''The Super Globetrotters'' and ''The Alvin Show'' ended with this logo; 16mm prints of at least the former two shows retain the logo. It is unknown whether it appeared on ''The Banana Splits and Friends Show'', ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!'' or ''Space Ghost and Dino Boy'' reruns from the era (apparently, for the latter, Hanna-Barbera's World of Super Adventure cut the logos). Again, check old 16mm prints. | ** Older broadcasts of ''Wacky Races'', ''Dastardly & Muttley in Their Flying Machines'', ''The Perils of Penelope Pitstop'', ''Josie & The Pussycats'', ''Speed Buggy'', ''Wait Till Your Father Gets Home'', ''The Funky Phantom'', ''The Super Globetrotters'', ''Help!...
