* On later Season 1 episodes of ''Dexter's Laboratory'', the logo looks completely different, featuring the Cartoon Network logo with an extra checkered row reading "'''STUDIOS'''" and the same copyright info as the colored background variants.
* On the last Season 1 episode of ''Dexter's Laboratory'' ("Inflata Dee Dee/Can't Nap/Monstory"), Dee Dee dances by the logo causing the O's to flip around briefly before Dexter bursts out of the logo in his robot, looking back and forth afterward. This may have been a signifying of more episode-specific variants had the logo not been retired immediately after.

** The ''Dexter's Laboratory'' custom variant has flipping sounds and a simple piano sounder when Dee Dee flips the O's, then a crashing sound when Dexter destroys the logo, alongside two swooshing sounds when Dexter moves his eyes.

Line 135 ⟶ 136:
* On the ''Star Wars: Clone Wars'' miniseries, a Hanna-Barbera sound effect is heard.
* On ''The Flintstones: On the Rocks'' and the ''Johnny Bravo'' episode "Traffic Troubles/My Funny Looking Friend", the logo is silent.
*
* On season 1 episodes of ''Adventure Time'', when the logo opens, a creaky door open sound is heard. When it closes, a slam is heard, though cut off by the 1999-2018 Cartoon Network Productions
** Similar with the situation above, from episodes 15 ("Perplexahedron") to 52 ("The Ultimate Enemy: Part 2") of ''Ben 10: Ultimate Alien'' and 113th to 150th episode of the ''Ben 10'' franchise overall, the animation will play as normal although also cut off by the 1999-2018 Cartoon Network Productions Ripple endtag where the logo does not close.
'''Availability:'''
* It was first seen on the premiere of ''Time Squad'' and last used on the ''Ben 10: Ultimate Alien'' episode "The Ultimate Enemy" (the show's final episode and franchise's episode 150).
* The standard version was first seen on ''Ferret and Parrot'' and appears on ''Transformers: Animated'' (now Discovery Family airings cut this out, though), ''Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones?'', early episodes of ''The Life and Times of Juniper Lee'', ''Ben 10'' (2005-2008, episodes 1-32; 35 from "And Then There Were 10" to "Game Over" and "Monster Weather"), season 1 of ''Evil Con Carne'',
** ''Juniper Lee'' (which this logo was used on) used to be available on Prime Video, but it no longer is today; however, it's still listed. It was also on the Boomerang streaming service, but WBD announced it would be shutting down in September 2024, making the show no longer available to watch legally outside of the internet.
* Some of the variations during the Cartoon Cartoons-mid 2000s era were rare and hard to find because the shows that they were on are hardly reran nowadays, until the debut of HBO Max. The variants from the final two seasons (and the movie) of ''The Powerpuff Girls'', the last season of ''Johnny Bravo'', the final two seasons of ''Dexter's Laboratory'', ''Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends'', ''Camp Lazlo'', the first four seasons of ''Samurai Jack'', and ''Ben 10'' are seen on [[Boomerang |Boomerang]] when they are reran.
* The still version appears on ''The Flintstones: On the Rocks'', episodes 5-9 of ''Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law'' and ''Star Wars: Clone Wars''.
*
* Amusingly, this logo is also retained on ''Star Wars: Clone Wars'' on [[Disney+ Originals|Disney+]].
'''Legacy:''' Well-known among fans of Cartoon Network series.

Cartoon Network Studios is a production studio located at 100 S California St., Burbank, California, which serves as Cartoon Network's first animation studio division to provide original programs for the network since 1994. On October 11, 2022, Warner Bros. Discovery announced that as part of a cost-cutting restructuring, CNS would merge into Warner Bros.

A byline reading "a division of Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc." appears underneath, alongside a Turner byline (with "Turner" represented as its standard logo).
Trivia: This logo is not for the Cartoon Network Studios that the rest of the page covers but rather merely a label for CN original content produced by Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc., but was scrapped a little over a year later and reverted back to Hanna-Barbera branding until the studio shuttered on March 12, 2001.
Variants:
Technique: A graphic made with traditional ink and paint. Cel animation in the "Dexter" variant.
Audio: It depends on the variant.

Visuals: Against a black background with a grid of barely visible lines, three squares drop down forming a diagonal line (the blue square dropping to the bottom, turning white and bounces once. The pink square sliding in from the left and turning white. And the yellow-orange square zooming in and turning white). Then a fourth square opens showing a different clip of the show's characters (depending on each show). As the grid fades out, the words "CARTOON NETWORK" (set in Proxima Nova) wipes in and "STUDIOS" (set in Proxima Nova Extrabold) slides in from the right and pushes the text causing it to shake briefly forming the words, "CARTOON NETWORK STUDIOS". Then the clip in the fourth square turns white.
Trivia:

During this, the background flips to show more backgrounds from the preceding show before ending on a cream background.
