Warner Bros. Animation

Background
Warner Bros. Animation (known from 1995-2003 as Warner Bros. Television Animation) is the successor to the original Warner Bros. Cartoons established in 1944, which was known before as Leon Schlesinger Productions. The studio was established in 1980.

Even before the studio's establishment in 1980, WB was already using special logos (most of them a variant of the Warner Bros. Television logo) for animated productions.

On October 11, 2022, Warner Bros. Discovery announced that as part of a cost-cutting restructuring, Warner Bros. Animation would merge with Cartoon Network Studios, with their respective name and output continuing to be in use in the future productions.

1st Logo (October 11, 1960-1967)
Visuals: A generic variant of the 1955-1967 Warner Bros. Television logo with Looney Tunes characters.

Variants:
 * On The Bugs Bunny Show, the WB shield is seen on a red background. After a short fanfare, Bugs Bunny (voiced by Mel Blanc) appears, and says, "This folks, is a Warner Bros. Television production." The shield closes. At the end of the show, the Warner Bros. Television logo appears.
 * A Spanish version of the line was used in the Warner Bros. Cartoons logo for Latin Spanish releases, Bugs says "Esto amigos, es una producción de la Warner Brothers para la televisión".
 * On The Porky Pig Show, during the credits the classic Warner Bros. Cartoons logo is seen on a bumper tire. As the camera zooms in, the tire opens like a door. Porky (also voiced by Blanc) appears and utters his famous catchphrase, "Th-th-th-that's all, folks!" The door closes, but shortly after Porky is shown saying "We've been brought to you by..."
 * On The Road Runner Show, Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner are seen on two different sides of the shield.

Technique: For The Bugs Bunny Show and The Porky Pig Show, it's hand drawn animation. None for The Road Runner Show.

Audio: The closing theme of the show. On The Road Runner Show, we hear the Road Runner's distinctive "Beep beep!" and tongue-popping-out sound effect.

Availability: It's seen on TV broadcasts of The Porky Pig Show and The Road Runner Show.

2nd Logo (September 3, 1967-1970)
Images=

Videos=

Visuals: Another generic variant of the TV logo of the era, this time for the 1967 Warner Bros.-Seven Arts TV logo.

Variants:
 * The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour has the shield on a red background. The color of the shield is yellow, and the company name is absent. Suddenly, Bugs Bunny (once again voiced by Mel Blanc) pops out of the shield, and says the following: "This has been a Warner Bros. Seven Arts-". Road Runner then appears on screen and says: "Beep, beep!". Bugs then continues: "Like the bird says, this has been a Warner Bros.-Seven Arts television presentation". The shield then closes.
 * The Bugs Bunny Show uses the first few seconds of The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour variant, before cutting to the previous logo's animation. Once Bugs finishes his line (though with "Warner Bros.-Seven Arts Television Presentation" from the aforementioned variant dubbed in), the aforementioned beginning is shown again, in reverse.
 * Mein Name ist Hase (a German version of The Bugs Bunny Show) replaces the "W7" mark with "BB" (Bugs Bunny's initials) in a fancy font.

Technique: None. Traditional animation for The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour variant.

Audio: The closing theme of the show.

Availability:
 * It's usually seen on The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show.
 * Later used for the 1971-75 run of The Bugs Bunny Show, as well as its 1980 French dub.

3rd Logo (September 1972-March 8, 1992)
Visuals: Same as before, except the LT characters stand beside the 1972 WBTV logo (the Big "W" logo) or the Warner Bros. shield with the company name on top (in the Warner Communications custom typeface) and the byline "A WARNER COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY" below.

Bylines:
 * September 1972-1990: "A WARNER COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY"
 * 1990-March 8, 1992: "A TIME WARNER COMPANY"

Variants:
 * 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.
 * By no later than 1990, the top byline was changed to "WARNER BROS. ANIMATION INC."

Technique: None.

Audio: The closing theme of the show.

Availability: It's seen on episodes of The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show, The Sylvester and Tweety, Daffy, and Speedy Show, The Bugs Bunny/Looney Tunes Comedy Hour, and The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show, as well as other Looney Tunes specials during the era, though most specials plaster it with the 5th logo.

4th Logo (September 28, 1979-November 20, 1980, November 20, 1987-November 6, 2000)
Images=

Videos=

Visuals: There is the concentric circles, with "WARNER BROS. INC.", "WARNER BROS. CARTOONS INC.", "WARNER BROS. PICTURES", "WARNER BROS. 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.

Closing Visuals: On the concentric circles "That's all Folks!" writes itself on the screen. From 1991 to 1997, either "A WARNER BROS. CARTOON" or the copyright stamp and the IATSE logo appears below.

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 NOT 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.
 * In Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers and (Blooper) Bunny, Bugs Bunny would sit on the print WB shield (in red and white) 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.
 * In From Hare to Eternity, Superior Duck, Pullet Surprise and Father of the Bird, the circles are blue and the background is red.
 * In Box-Office Bunny, the circles are purple/green and the background is orange.
 * In Little Go Beep, the shield fades to the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote's heads. For the closing, on the concentric circles with Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner's heads (in their Baby Looney Tunes versions) and "That's all Folks!" in a childish font writes itself in on the top. The Baby Looney Tunes logo and "A WARNER BROS. CARTOON" are on the bottom. Baby Wile's tooth shines.

Technique: Hand drawn animation.

Audio: "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" (1946-1955 "goofy" version) or "Merrily We Roll Along" (1945-1955 or 1955-1964 versions) in the 1979 and 1987 versions. From 1990 onward, "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" was used until 1993. Starting in 1994 with Chariots of Fur, the theme "Merrily We Roll Along" is used, orchestrated depending on the composers of Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries and more (such as Richard Stone, George Daughtery or Cameron Patrick). In the 1991 short (Blooper) Bunny, the theme "What's Up Doc?" is used.

Audio Variants: On The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie, "Merrily We Roll Along" is arranged by Dean Elliott.

Availability:
 * The 1979 version was seen on many shorts of the time including The Fright Before Christmas, Bugs Bunny's Christmas Carol, and Freeze Frame. Also seen on The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie.
 * The 1987 version was seen only on The Duxorcist and The Night of the Living Duck.
 * The 1990-2000 versions were seen on Looney Tunes from the era, notably Carrotblanca, Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers, (Blooper) Bunny, and Little Go Beep, among others.

5th Logo (October 21, 1988-1992)


Visuals: Over a royal blue wallpaper of little WB print shields, we see Bugs Bunny in the spotlight, prompted on top of the company name "WARNER BROS. ANIMATION INC." in yellow-green.

Technique: Hand drawn animation.

Audio: The sound of Bugs munching his carrot, usually played over the closing theme of the show.

Audio Variants:


 * On Merrie Melodies Starring Bugs Bunny & Friends, an announcer says "Merrie Melodies is a production of Warner Bros. Animation, and is distributed by Warner Bros. Domestic Television" (the last part is heard over the 1990 Warner Bros. Television Distribution logo).
 * On some Looney Tunes videos of the early 90s, no background music is used, just the sound of Bugs munching his carrot.

Availability: Appeared on syndicated episodes of Merrie Melodies Starring Bugs Bunny & Friends, as well as various Looney Tunes TV specials (often plastering over older logos from the 1970s and 1980s, in many cases the 5th logo but sometimes even the 6th Warner Bros. Television logo on any specials originally using the aforementioned logos). It's first known sighting was the special Bugs & Daffy: Battle of the Music Video Stars.

6th Logo (August 15, 1990-1992)


Visuals: The same as the sixth Warner Bros. Television logo, except that the text above reads " WARNER BROS. ANIMATION INC. ", and the fonts are also different.

Technique: None.

Audio: The ending theme of the show.

Availability: Only seen on Happy Birthday, Bugs: 50 Looney Years, Bugs Bunny's Creature Features, Bugs Bunny's Lunar Tunes and Bugs Bunny's Overtures to Disaster (even on the 1998 UK VHS release thereof from Warner Home Video).

7th Logo (September 14, 1990-September 15, 1995)
Visuals: On a cloud background, we see the standard WB shield in a small, different looking design. The banner reads " WARNER BROS. ANIMATION ".

Bylines:
 * 1990-1992: " A TIME WARNER COMPANY "
 * 1992-1995: " A TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY "
 * On the intro of Batman: The Animated Series, it's bylineless. It also fades into the two spotlights on the police blimp.

Technique: None.

Audio: The opening/closing theme of the show. On Taz-Mania, it has the last four notes of the Taz-Mania ending theme. On Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation, it's the finishing of the end-title theme.

Availability:
 * It's seen at the beginning of every episode of Batman: The Animated Series.
 * The byline variants were seen at the beginning of Taz-Mania and the end of Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation.
 * This was also seen at the beginning of some reruns of Beetlejuice, when it was on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network.
 * It also appeared at the end of The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show's seventh season (1992) and at the beginning of Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation.
 * It does not appear on Animaniacs or the main Tiny Toon Adventures series.

8th Logo (September 9, 1995-December 18, 2002)
Images=

Videos=

Visuals: Over a set of clouds, there is a very metallic rendition of the WB shield, with the banner reading " TELEVISION ANIMATION ", and the byline at the bottom. Underneath is the byline, " A TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY ".

Variants:
 * On some Animaniacs episodes (such as "The Presidents Song/Don't Tread on Us/The Flame Returns" and "Birds on a Wire/Scoring Session/The Animaniacs Suite" (the final episode)), the logo is bylineless.
 * On both The New Batman Adventures and Superman: The Animated Series, the logo is a bit darker.
 * On Road Rovers, the logo appears in the beginning as well as the end on the last few episodes.
 * Classic Variant: On the Looney Tunes anthology series That's Warner Bros.! (1995), Bugs 'N' Daffy, and The Daffy Duck Show (Kids' WB version), the words " TELEVISION ANIMATION " (on the banner) are replaced with " CLASSIC ANIMATION " and there is no byline.
 * Starting in 1998, all WB animated series broadcasted on Kids' WB! (with the exception of Animaniacs and The Big Cartoonie Show, which have the post credit scene followed by the Amblin Television logo and this logo after the split-screen credits) has the logo appeared in a split-screen, due to the block's own split-screen credits.

Technique: None.

Audio: The ending of the show's theme or none.

Availability:
 * It survives on DVD releases of The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries, Pinky and the Brain, Freakazoid and Pinky, Elmyra & the Brain.
 * It was last seen on the series finale of The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries.
 * It is also seen on almost every Warner Bros. Animation series from 1995 to 2001, including Detention, Histeria!, Road Rovers, seasons 3 through 5 of Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain and its ill-fated spinoff, Pinky, Elmyra & the Brain.
 * The "Classic Animation" variant appeared on That's Warner Bros.!, Bugs 'n' Daffy, and The Daffy Duck Show.
 * It is also intact on Boomerang's streaming print of the 1962 short Prince Varmint (due to said print being taken from an episode of Bugs 'n' Daffy).
 * The bannerless version only appeared in the 1997 Bugsy awards.
 * It was seen on Batman Beyond and on The New Batman Adventures (a.k.a. the 4th season of Batman: The Animated Series and originally one half of The New Batman/Superman Adventures on original Kids' WB broadcasts) on The Hub (now Discovery Family).
 * However, when reruns of Animaniacs aired on Nickelodeon from 2001 until 2003 and on Nicktoons TV from 2002 until 2005, this logo was plastered by the "Distributed by" version of the 2001 Warner Bros. Television logo.
 * Modern digital releases of The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries (i.e., Boomerang, HBO Max) plaster this logo with the 2001 Warner Bros. Television logo.
 * This logo has been cut out of the HBO Max print of Superman: The Animated Series, as while the Warner Bros. Family Entertainment logo is intact, the closing logos are cut out.

9th Logo (Late 1990s-Early 2000s?)


Visuals: The Warner Bros. logo inside the concentric circles cuts onto the screen. Then, the WB logo zooms in towards the camera. 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.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Silent.

Availability: Appears on Re-TV Video Library's tapes of Looney Tunes material, though the tapes aren't easy to find as they were only sold on Columbia House's website, back when the internet was still primitive.

10th Logo (November 17, 2001-April 7, 2009)
2001-2003=

Visuals: There were two main variants of the logo:


 * 2001-2003: Same as the Warner Bros. Television logo of the time, but the banner reads "Times New Roman". Underneath is the byline, "Times New Roman" and the "www.warnerbros.com" URL.
 * 2003-2009: The banner was changed to read "Times New Roman" across with the "www.warnerbros.com" URL underneath. This was most likely due to the closure of Warner Bros.' Feature Animation division in 2004, and the former television/direct-to-video unit became Warner Bros.' main animation department, akin to the Termite Terrace/Warner Bros. Cartoons days.

Trivia: On one episode of Duck Dodgers, the end credits cut to black in the place where the logo should be. The reason for this is unknown, though it may be due to bad editing. The almost exact subject also happened on What's New, Scooby-Doo?, but the last credit is somehow frozen and the logo doesn't appear at all.

Variants:
 * Every show and DTV movie produced by Warner Bros. Animation from this period would feature an in-credit variant of the 2001 and 2003 shields, sometimes the latter would plaster over the 2001 in-credit shield also.
 * On Chill Out, Scooby-Doo!, a variant of the 2003 logo was seen with the Warner Bros. URL missing, just the shield on the clouds. This variant was also seen on The Batman episode "Night and the City", the Tom and Jerry Tales episodes "Fire Breathing Tom Cat / Medieval Menace / The Itch" and CBBC UK airings of What's New Scooby Doo?, early second season episodes of Shaggy and Scooby-Doo Get a Clue!, Krypto the Superdog, The Batman, ¡Mucha Lucha! and Baby Looney Tunes, respectively.
 * In September 2007, a variation was introduced with the byline "A Times New Roman Company" on the bottom. Last seen on Scooby-Doo and the Samurai Sword.
 * On Tom and Jerry: The Karate Guard, a version is seen where the shield is much smaller, and underneath it is the byline "A Times New Roman Company" and the "www.warnerbros.com" URL. It is also a bit off-center.
 * On Season 2 of Johnny Test, the logo is cropped on both the 4:3 and 16:9 prints. This version has the URL slightly edited upwards. Oddly enough, Warner Bros. never was involved in the show during this season. A narrowed version of the variant also exists, and it is seen on French 4:3 prints of early season 2 episodes of said show.
 * On Kids' WB! broadcasts of all WB animated shows until 2008, the logo appears in a split screen due to the block's own split-screen credits.

Technique: None, but with the banner done by Intralink Film Graphic Design.

Audio: It's usually the outro of the show's theme music, but is also seen silent on some direct-to-video movies (typically if it follows a DC Entertainment logo, a Hanna-Barbera credit, or a dedication in the credits).

Audio Variant: On CBBC UK airings of What's New Scooby Doo?, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo Get a Clue!, Krypto the Superdog and Baby Looney Tunes, the last note of the show's theme music is heard.

Availability:
 * 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. (both on-screen and in-credit)
 * This appears on various shows on Cartoon Network, Boomerang and Kids' WB, including Teen Titans, Justice League/Justice League Unlimited, Loonatics Unleashed, Tom and Jerry Tales, Xiaolin Showdown, Ozzy and Drix, Krypto the Superdog, The Batman, Legion of Super Heroes, Duck Dodgers, Baby Looney Tunes, What's New, Scooby-Doo?, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo Get a Clue!, the first two seasons of Johnny Test, and on various direct-to-video productions from the studio, such as Bah, Humduck! A Looney Tunes Christmas.
 * The 2003 logo made a surprise reappearance on Mortal Kombat Legends: Cage Match (albeit using a variant) in which the film itself is set in the 1980s. The 19th logo appears at the end.
 * This logo does not appear on Boomerang Latin America airings of What's New, Scooby-Doo?, as it was rebranded in September 2014. However, the latter does feature this logo.
 * This logo can also be seen on the Looney Tunes cartoons produced by Larry Doyle in the 2003-2005 time frame.

11th Logo (November 1, 2003-March 31, 2004)
Visuals: 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.

Closing Visuals: 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, "Th-Th-Th-That's all, folks!".

Technique: Hand drawn animation.

Audio: A remixed version of "Merrily We Roll Along", arranged by Walter Murphy and recorded at the Newman Scoring Stage at the Fox Studio Lot.

Audio Variants:
 * On Whizzard of Ow, the explosion sound effects corresponding with the classic clips shown can be heard.
 * At the end of Cock-A-Doodle Duel, a country version of the "Merrily We Roll Along" is heard in the first part before Porky's dialogue.
 * At the end of My Generation G-G-Gap, a rock version of the "Merrily We Roll Along" is heard in the first part before Porky's dialogue.

Availability:
 * All six cartoons using this logo have been released on the Looney Tunes: Back in Action Blu-ray and were made available to stream on HBO Max until January 2023, and at least two of them have also occasionally aired on MeTV's Toon In With Me program.
 * Three of the cartoons were also released on standard-definition DVD in North America: Whizzard of Ow on the Looney Tunes: Back in Action DVD release, Hare and Loathing in Las Vegas on The Essential Bugs Bunny 2010 DVD and Attack of the Drones on The Essential Daffy Duck 2010 DVD (also released in 2010).
 * The cartoons have also aired in Canada and other international TV markets. A possible reason why these Looney Tunes shorts took a long time to receive a USA release is that these cartoons were six of over 30 shorts Warner Bros. had in production for theatrical release (some of them Looney Tunes, others Tom and Jerry).
 * However, Looney Tunes: Back in Action '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).

12th Logo (September 27, 2005-October 2, 2007)
Visuals: The logo is very similar to the 1953 MGM Cartoons logo, but instead of using Tanner the lion with baby blue ribboning, it is replaced by a Warner Bros. shield, and instead of "A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer", it's replaced with "A Warner Bros. Animation". The word "CARTOON" is still used, and it still takes place in a blue background.

Technique: None.

Audio: The opening music.

Availability: It was first seen in The Karate Guard and was last seen in Tom and Jerry: A Nutcracker Tale.

13th Logo (November 14, 2008-May 5, 2015)
NOTE: On the 4th video (originally uploaded by the YouTube user Baby Lamb Creations, and later reuploaded by Los juguetes de mili y lola), there is a hidden fake logo, with Freakazoid (from the animated series of the same name).

Visuals: On a red spotlight background, we see the standard WB shield much like before, with Bugs Bunny (drawn in his 1940s style) on the left, munching his carrot. The shield is more computer-generated. Below the shield is "Times New Roman" in white script.

Trivia:
 * The CG shield animation for The Looney Tunes Show variant is done by Wut It Is with Autodesk 3D Studios Max 9.
 * The standard variant with Bugs Bunny leaning on the logo is a homage to the 90s Warner Bros. Family Entertainment logo.
 * The alternative variant is done by Mark Marek.

Variants:
 * On the alternative variant (this time without Bugs Bunny), a small light flickers out of darkness on a partially gray background. The bottom part of a B&W WB shield becomes visible as the light slowly edges out some the dark sides, while the rest of the uncolored WB shield slowly zooms in on the background, with "Times New Roman" fading in and becoming visible. The background then becomes a tad red as the logo slowly zooms in even more, becoming clearly seen before fading out.
 * There are two prototype versions of the alternative variant:
 * First one has the shining shield with rain and fog pouring.
 * Second one is only got a fog on it while the B&W WB shield becomes visible like the normal one.
 * As a closing logo, Bugs does not appear and the Time Warner byline appears below.
 * On The Looney Tunes Show, the closing variant is modified in 3D, but then the WB shield opens up (ala the opening to The Bugs Bunny Show) to reveal Porky Pig inside, who says his trademark "T-th-th-that's all, folks!" line, and then fades out. 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.
 * On DVD trailers for The Looney Tunes Show, the end of the Porky variant is shown, with the byline blurred out. Also, the screen cuts to black directly on the last note of the variant's music.
 * On split-screen credit airings of The Looney Tunes Show, the logo freezes just before the shield opens.
 * On Batman: Assault on Arkham, "Times New Roman" is removed in the alternative logo.

Technique: Hand drawn animation and CGI. None for the closing variant.

Audio: The opening variant plays a sped-up version of the very end of the 1945-1955 rendition of "Merrily We Roll Along" by Carl Stalling with Bugs munching his carrot, while the end variant uses the end theme of the show/movie or none.

Audio Variants:
 * The alternative logo has no music (or often have the opening theme of the movie); however, they rarely have a music exclusively at Mark Marek's website, which sounds mysterious, dramatic and serious than the "Merrily We Roll Along" one, including the sound of a film projector at the beginning.
 * The Looney Tunes Show variants have a few notes of "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" (the show's theme music) followed by a drum solo that goes on depending on the duration of the characters' dialogue. After the dialogue, the last saxophone note plays at the end.

Availability:
 * The standard version with Bugs Bunny appears on Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Tom and Jerry Meet Sherlock Holmes, and MAD, and the ghouly version without Bugs appears on Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated on Cartoon Network (though the standard logo did appear on the first episode as a sneak preview, and later episodes have no opening logo), but also seen on Boomerang, HBO Max and other streaming services and the entire series of said show was on DVD still had this variant intact.
 * The alternative logo appears on Young Justice (though the standard logo appeared on the first two episodes), and DC Universe Original Animated Movies made after 2008, such as Wonder Woman, Green Lantern: First Flight, and other PG-13 movies.
 * It also appears on Scooby-Doo! Legend of the Phantosaur, as well as all DC Showcase shorts.
 * Although the opening with Bugs Bunny appears on Scooby-Doo and the Samurai Sword, they strangely used the 3rd version from the 10th closing logo instead.
 * The opening logo does not appear on The Looney Tunes Show, which uses the 16th logo instead.
 * The closing logo does not appear on the Robot Chicken DC Comics Special or the Robot Chicken DC Comics Special 2: Villains in Paradise.
 * The opening logo isn't seen on the newer WB Animation programs such as ThunderCats (2011 series), Green Lantern: The Animated Series, and the first season of Teen Titans Go!.
 * The logo was last seen on Scooby-Doo! and the Beach Beastie, oddly not using the 18th or 19th logo.

14th Logo (July 30, 2010-June 10, 2014)
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, a la 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.

Variants:
 * On I Tawt I Taw a Putty Tat and Flash in the Pain, the circles are green, they don't fly, and the background is red. Also, the shield zooms in and stops as normal (ala the 1930s-1960s Warner Bros. cartoons). The text fades in one-by-one and instead of coming apart and zooming away, the logo just fades to a black screen.
 * On Daffy's Rhapsody, it is the same as the I Tawt I Taw a Putty Tat variant, but the circles are red and the background is blue.

Technique: CGI animated by Reel FX.

Audio: A remixed, short version of "Merrily We Roll Along", arranged by Christopher Lennertz. On the 3D shorts, when the shield zooms in, we hear the "twanging" sound from the 1945-1955 Merrie Melodies theme. Also, we hear some whooshing sounds when the circles fly by.

Audio Variants:
 * On I Tawt I Taw a Putty Tat, it had a different "twanging" sound and the whooshing sounds are absent.
 * On Daffy's Rhapsody, the "twanging" sound (as well as the whooshing sounds) is absent.
 * On Flash in the Pain, the whooshing sounds are absent.

Availability:
 * The first cartoon featuring this logo was Coyote Falls, seen in front of Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore, and was also shown on Fur of Flying, seen in front of Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole, Rabid Rider, seen in front of Yogi Bear, I Tawt I Taw a Putty Tat, seen in front of Happy Feet Two, and Daffy's Rhapsody, seen in front of Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.
 * It was also last seen on Flash in the Pain, which is a limited release.

15th Logo (September 6, 2010-December 2, 2013)
Visuals: 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.

Technique: None.

Audio: The ending theme of MAD.

Availability: It's only seen after the end credits of MAD.

16th Logo (May 3, 2011-August 31, 2014)
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.

Variant: A prototype version exists, which is seen on the scrapped pilot Laff Riot from 2009.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: The opening theme of the show (a fast-paced jazzy remix of "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down", arranged by Andy Sturmer).

Availability:
 * It can be seen on the series The Looney Tunes Show, which currently airs reruns on Cartoon Network and Boomerang.
 * It's also available on the Boomerang streaming service, Max, and other digital download/streaming platforms, and the first season is also on DVD as well.

17th Logo (September 28, 2012-June 27, 2017)
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 from the 14th 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.

Variant: On Tom and Jerry: The Lost Dragon, the logo is sepia-tinted and placed in a border surrounded by dragons.

Technique: None.

Audio: The opening music.

Availability: It was used only in Tom and Jerry direct-to-video movies, starting with Tom and Jerry: Robin Hood and His Merry Mouse.

18th Logo (June 5, 2014-July 30, 2015)
Visuals: On a black background, the WB shield used from the intro of the 2010 Looney Tunes shorts is displayed. Below the logo is a byline script that reads "Animation". Its lacking design and short life make could mean its just a placeholder logo for the next logo below.

Trivia: Despite the official logo not debuting until 2014, the print logo appeared in-credit on shows as early as November 11, 2011.

Technique: None.

Audio: None or the closing theme of the show/movie.

Availability: This logo can be seen on the second season of Teen Titans Go!, the first season of Mike Tyson Mysteries, Tom and Jerry: Santa's Little Helpers, Elf: Buddy's Musical Christmas, Lego DC Comics: Batman Be-Leaguered!, and other WB Animation movies.

19th Logo (May 4, 2015-)

Visuals: The WB shield (from the 14th, 16th, 17th and 18th logos) fades in with a dim shine over the shield and zooms in as the black background turns into a dark blood red background of Looney Tunes bullseye rings. After the WB shield is there, the script "Animation" is written in cursive writing.

Variants:
 * On some shows like Unikitty!, DC Super Hero Girls and Little Ellen, the logo is still.
 * At the end of some shows, the logo is sped-up.
 * Starting with Netflix's Green Eggs and Ham (2019), the logo is enhanced.

Trailer Variant: On the trailer for ''Scooby-Doo! & Batman: The Brave and the Bold'', a still version of the logo gradually zooms in along with the DC logo.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: None, the closing theme of the show/movie, or whoosh sound effects starting in 2019.

Availability:
 * The logo was first seen in the trailer of the direct-to-video movie, Looney Tunes: Rabbit's Run.
 * The full normal logo is currently seen on DC Original Animated Movies mid-2015, web shorts based on Batman Unlimited, Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicles, New Looney Tunes, Bunnicula, Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!, DC Super Hero Girls shorts and specials (as well as the 2019 series), seasons 2-4 of The Tom and Jerry Show (2014), Teen Titans Go! beginning with the third season, the Teen Titans Go!/The Powerpuff Girls (2016 reboot) crossover special "TTG v PPG", Jellystone!, Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? and Velma.
 * The enhanced logo first appeared on the release of Netflix's adaptation of Green Eggs and Ham.
 * It was later seen on the 2020 revival of Animaniacs and future DC Animated Movies starting with Superman: Man of Tomorrow.
 * As of this writing, it is used in tandem with the normal logo.
 * The logo with sound effects first appeared on Wonder Woman: Bloodlines, alongside other future releases from DC Universe Animated Original Movies.
 * This logo does not appear on the Robot Chicken DC Comics Special III: Magical Friendship.

20th Logo (July 22, 2018-) (Movie Logo)


Visuals: On a red background similar to that of the 2008 logo is 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".

Trivia:
 * Daffy Duck's personality and design in this sequence are a homage to his personality and design in the late 1930s Looney Tunes shorts.
 * If one looks carefully at the background behind Porky when he opens the shield, as well as Daffy when he emerges, a cartoon version of the WB backlot, complete with the iconic water tower can be seen.

Technique: 2D computer animation directed and storyboarded by Pete Browngardt, and animated by veteran animator Eric Goldberg.

Audio: Various cartoon sound effects, including Daffy's trademark "Woo-hoo! Woo-hoo!" (voiced by Eric Bauza).

Audio Variant: On Taz: Quest for Burger, a fast-paced violin rendition of "Merrily We Roll Along" plays over the logo and trails off into the opening music of the film. The sound effects and Daffy's voice are still heard.

Availability: It is currently being used in tandem with the previous logo on movies. This was first seen on ''Teen Titans Go! To the Movies'' and later appeared on several direct-to-video releases from the company since.

21st Logo (June 11, 2019-July 27, 2023)
Images=

Videos=

Visuals: Another recreation of the classic "bullseye" logo, with varied colors (such as red rings and a dark blue center, or green rings and a dark red center). On top is "WARNER BROS. ANIMATION" in its' classic font, and on the bottom is "Presents" in the script font and a production number. The WB shield (also in varied colors) zooms up normally this time. The size and colors of the text are different each time as well.

Closing Visuals: Just "That's all Folks!" writing itself out in its' classic script font against the bullseye backdrop used in the short.

Trivia: If one looks closely at the bottom of the screen in the studio logo, you can see the production number of the short. This also applies to most of the classic Looney Tunes shorts though the 1930s and 1950s.

Variants:
 * On certain shorts ("Pest Coaster" and "Basket Bugs", for instance), the series logo is slightly tweaked, with "LOONEY TUNES" in a font reminiscent of the 1935-38 series logos, and "CARTOONS" underneath.
 * On the Sylvester and Tweety short "Pain in the Ice", the background in the series logo is green-cyan. Tweety is also a bit smaller and has been shifted slightly to the right.
 * On the Sylvester and Tweety short "Rhino Ya Don't!", the screen fades much faster to the series logo.
 * On the Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner short "TNT Trouble", the phrase "A LOONEY TUNES CARTOON" is on the top as opposed to the bottom.
 * Starting with season 3, a near shot-for-shot remake of the classic Warner Bros. Cartoons variant where Bugs sits on the shield and pulls down the title card has been used on some Bugs Bunny shorts. Both the "classic" shield design used normally in this logo and the "modern" design used in other Warner Bros. Animation logos have appeared in this variant.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: A short orchestral remix of either "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" or "Merrily We Roll Along" arranged by Carl Johnson. The closing logo features an even shorter arrangement than what was heard in the classic shorts.

Audio Variant: On the smaller shorts like "Tunnel Vision" or "Cactus If You Can", it either uses an even shorter remix of "Merrily We Roll Along" or a generic fanfare that matches the theme of the short (examples include a fairy-tale fanfare in "Fleece and Desist" or a brass fanfare in "TNT Trouble").

Availability:
 * It first appeared on the new cartoonist/creator-driven Looney Tunes Cartoons shorts which premiered on HBO Max on May 27, 2020.
 * However, it does not appear whenever one of the shorts (like "Pest Coaster", "Wet Cement", or "Tunnel Vision") is uploaded to YouTube since they are usually cut out.

22nd Logo (April 6, 2023)
Visuals: 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.

Closing Visuals: A recreation of the 1967 Warner Bros.- Seven Arts Animation closing sequence. On a brownish-black background, a purple "W7" shield is seen. "A WARNER BROS. ANIMATION CARTOON" appears letter-by-letter in front of the shield, complete with the "OO" in "CARTOON" turning red and jumping up and down three times like a cartoon eye take.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: An orchestral rearrangement of the 1960s Bill Lava version of "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down", arranged by Joshua Moshier.

Availability: Seen on the Looney Tunes Cartoons short "Crumb and Get It", which is a parody of the 1960s era of the Warner Bros. cartoons, hence with this logo sequence appearing.

Devastudios Concept (2022)
Visuals: On a black or a Looney Tunes circles background, the Warner Bros. Animation logo is seen with the banner, only reading simply "ANIMATION".

Technique: CGI by Phillip Crable at Devastudios.

Availability: Only seen on the Phillip Crable website and can be seen here.
