Cartoon Network Studios/Logo Variations

These are the logo variations seen throughout the years by Cartoon Network Studios, with more to be added overtime.

Third Logo Variants

Time Squad

Buck warns Larry not to touch a button. Then, while Otto is watching, Larry touches the button, causing a shock where the logo reverts back to normal. The box in Season 1 was baby blue instead of red and lacked the AOL Time Warner byline, while Season 2 used the regular red box and AOL Time Warner byline.

Samurai Jack (Seasons 1-4)

Jack slices the logo's walls, causing the logo to close. Normally, the box was the regular red and featured the AOL Time Warner byline. However, some episodes used an orange box, the "STUDIOS" part shook, a different sword sound was used and lacked the byline (as AOL Time Warner renamed back to Time Warner at this point).

Grim and Evil and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy

Grim, with a smirk on his face, stands next to Billy and Mandy. He attempts to chop their heads off with his scythe, but fails because they hid in their shirts. Their heads pop out and Billy looks amused while Mandy looks irritated. Grim then gives a confused look. The normal version is set on a black background rather than a white one, and is also bylineless, although a variant exists with the white background and AOL Time Warner byline.

The Flintstones: On the Rocks and Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law (Season 1)

The logo is still. The former special uses it with the AOL Time Warner byline and is silent, while the latter show doesn't use the byline and uses the ending theme.

Dexter's Laboratory (Seasons 3-4)

Dexter stands next to Dee Dee, who slowly presses a button in front of him, causing Dexter to explode. After a flash of light, Dexter appears, scorched and visibly annoyed as a smoke particle drifts out of the logo. The normal version is set on a black background with a neon green box, without the byline. Some late Season 3 episodes use this logo with the regular white background, red box and AOL Time Warner byline respectively. There also exists a filmed variant.

The Powerpuff Girls (Seasons 4-6) and The Powerpuff Girls Movie

The girls, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup each zoom in and beat up Mojo Jojo. Mojo also bumps into the W. This variant first appeared on The Powerpuff Girls Movie, with it preceding the Warner Bros. Pictures logo after the credits. By Season 6, the byline was switched to "A TimeWarner Company", being the only show to use that variant, alongside Star Wars: Clone Wars.

Star Wars: Clone Wars

The logo is still on a black background with a Time Warner byline. Seasons 1 and 2 used the "Grungy" font variant, while Season 3 uses the normal version. A Hanna-Barbera sound effect is then heard.

Johnny Bravo (Season 4)

Johnny shows off his poses, then kisses the screen. His lips get stuck in the logo, but he quickly squeezes them out. Beginning with this variant, the logo now has a slightly different design and appears larger on-screen.

Megas XLR

Megas shoots a few laser blasts at the screen, then its guns jam. It taps one of its blasters with a confused look. It accidentally fires at the right side of the logo, and it closes without any damage.

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends

Mac stands on the red box and blinks. Bloo then appears on the right into the box and tackles Mac. They both smile at each other.

Evil Con Carne (Season 2)

Major Dr. Ghastly is holding a clicker and General Skarr is on a jet pack. Ghastly presses the button on the clicker and Skarr flies around, crashing into the logo, damaging it. He destroys the left side of the logo (as well) and vanishes. Ghastly looks at the audience and the logo closes without any damage.

Camp Lazlo

Lazlo begins to blows a trumpet, and then Scoutmaster Lumpus walks up with a large cork and places it in the trumpet. Lazlo continues to blow on it, making a quieter trumpet sound. This is the first version of the logo to be made in a 16:9 widescreen format.

The Life and Times of Juniper Lee (Seasons 2-3)

Monsters lift the Cartoon Network part of the logo to escape, but Juniper jumps on top of the logo and squashes the monsters by closing the logo, and then finally jumps away from the screen.

My Gym Partner's a Monkey

Jake and Adam swing on a vine (Adam, visibly uncomfortable, is being held by Jake). Jake swings off the screen, but Adam hits the edge of the logo. This was the first variant to use a white box.

Squirrel Boy

Rodney accidentally fires a rocket, as it catches Bob Johnson by his shoe, causing a nervous laugh by Rodney at Andy.

Class of 3000

A piano plays and Sunny Bridges appear at the first of the line, smiling and taking his hat off leading the other main characters of the show (Lil' D, Madison, Philly, Tamika, Eddie and Kim) on the ride through the piano. Eventually, Kam falls on to the piano.

Ben 10 (Seasons 3-4) and Ben 10: Secret of the Omnitrix

Ben turns on the Omnitrix, chooses an alien and pushes the button, triggering a flash of green light. This variant uses a gray box, and use the "Grungy" variant of the logo. The logo also opens wider than usual.

Out of Jimmy's Head

Two of Jimmy's cartoon friends, Pickles and Prickles, hit each other with hammers. The logo also shakes when this happens even when the box is closed.

Chowder

Chowder walks by with a bag of food. He eats the "O" in "NETWORK". An apple falls out of the bag and replaces the "O" as the logo closes.

Ben 10: Alien Force, Ben 10: Alien Swarm and Ben 10: Ultimate Alien

We see a close-up of a grown-up Ben's eyes. We then zoom out on him and as he does in the Ben 10 original variant, he pushes the button on the Omnitrix, triggering a flash of green light. Before the flash, Ben turns into a silhouette. This variant uses a black background and a white box.

On Ultimate Alien, the logo is slowed down and it doesn't close after the flash of green light.

The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack

Takes place in a white box and the logo is already opened. Flapjack is seen with Captain K'nuckles. Flapjack is giggling in a really annoying way. K'nuckles gets annoyed and pulls the top of the logo, closing it. On the episode "Flapjack Goes to a Party/Rye Ruv Roo", Flapjack's laughter is replaced by him barking like a dog.

Underfist: Halloween Bash

The original 2001 logo is shown, but with a still zooming picture of Hoss Delgado with his banana nunchuks and Billy saying "All that work and nothin' to show for it!"

Adventure Time (Season 1)

Finn pokes Jake, as he becomes larger and larger, roaring and squeezing aside him. As he does this, Finn laughs.

Generator Rex (Season 1)

Rex turns his back into a jet engine, blasting off in the process while smiling, but he crashes into the logo when it closes, which causes the logo to shake. Like with the Ben 10 variant, this variant uses the "Grungy" version of the logo.

Clarence

On the title card for the episode "Pilot Expansion" (2014), the logo is shown.

One-off Variations

Dexter's Laboratory (Inflata Dee-Dee/Can't Nap/Monstory) (1997): This episode, aside from being the last episode to use the original 1996 Cartoon Network Studios logo, also contains the one and only time an extended version of it was used (this may have been a signifying of more episode specific variants had the logo not been retired immediately after). Dee-Dee dances through the logo and flips all three of the black on white "O"s (i.e. all three Os). After she leaves, Dexter bursts through the logo as usual.

Space Ghost Coast to Coast (Girl Hair) (1999): The logo is grungy and looks like a real life object, and fire is enveloping the screen. Bizzaro Santa says something illegible, and Zorak in return says "No no! It's gotta be heated! Heated up!"

Brak Presents The Brak Show Starring Brak (two episode special) (2000): On both episodes, the logo, like the rest of the end credits, is on a piece of paper taped to the background.

Space Ghost Coast to Coast (Flipmode) (2001): The Skull logo is in static and barely viewable as a result.

The Brak Show (The Eye [aka Petticoat Brak]) (2001): Normal logo, but the giant eye from earlier in the episode comes in from the left over the logo. As his leitmotif plays he says "Hey hey hey! I float like a floating eye...sting like a floating eye! Oh yeah" and leaves.

Sealab 2021 (Murphy Murph and the Feng Shui Bunch) (2002): In keeping in with the variants of Master Shake (having been enraged by the events shown at the end of the episode, where it abruptly cuts to the Aqua Teen Hunger Force universe where Meatwad has beaten Shake in a video game) breaking all the end logos (believing the Seventy-Thirty logo to belong to Meatwad and merely disliking how the Williams Street logo looks), Shake attempts to break the CN logo. He can't, and in outrage of how tough it is, states, "What kind of crap is this, did an elephant paint this?!"

Sealab 2021 (Bizzaro) (2002): Bizzaro Quinn is seen jumping on the logo stating "I'm helping! I'm helping!" (his catchphrase in the episode when he did something that blatantly isn't helping)

Sealab 2021 (Let 'Em Eat Corn) (2004): After the logo, it cuts to two men on a couch watching the episode on TV (with the logo still on the TV the whole time): They exchange these lines: Guy #1: "Man...this **** show" Guy #2: "Dude, it keeps on getting lamer." Guy #1: "Random-a** confusing bull-" (their dresser has inexplicably turned into a robot Transformers-style) Guy #1: "NO. Bad dresser". (it turns back to normal)

Sealab 2021 (Neptunati) (2004): Zombie Cat falls on the logo and says "Zombie Cat loves you".

Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Dusty Gozongas) (2004): The CN Skull audio is replaced with a soundbite saying "YES" from earlier in the episode.

DreamWorks Dragons (2012-2018): The logo is still, black and placed on a stone wall, like the rest of the credits.

We Bare Bears (2015-2019): Episodes centering on the bears as kids use a different animatic of the cubs in a box, falling. This was used for the episodes "The Road", "Pet Shop", "The Island" and "Baby Bears on a Plane".
