Cartoon Network Studios is a production studio located in Cartoon Network's West Coast headquarters of Burbank, California, which serves as the 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. Animation, with the CNS name and output continuing to be in use in future productions.
Visuals: Over a white background, the logo starts with the 1992-2004 Cartoon Network logo on a white screen, with the text "S T U D I O S" below it in small spaced-out letters. 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: None for the original version, but 2D animation in the "Dexter" variant.
Audio: It depends on the variant.
Availability:
Visuals: There are two variations for this logo:
Trivia: The logo was designed by Dexter's Laboratory and Samurai Jack creator Genndy Tartakovsky.
Variant: On IMP, Inc. and My Freaky Family, the 2000-2001 variant had an AOL Time Warner byline appear below.
Technique: A still image rendered in digital ink and paint.
Audio: None or the closing theme.
Audio Variants:
Availability:
Legacy: This logo was the first official CN Studios logo, utilized in 2000 when the studio opened the same year. The logo resembles the Williams Street logo as well, which also may explain its reappearance on Korgoth of Barbaria, although it hasn't appeared on any other Adult Swim programming produced by CN Studios.
Visuals: There are two variations for this logo:
Variants: See this page for variants.
Bylines:
Trivia:
Technique: Hand-drawn animation for the variants, but 2D digital animation for the standard version.
Audio: The sound effects in the variation. In the standard one, it's either a laser sound or the sound of a photocopier.
Audio Variants:
Availability:
Legacy: Well-known among fans of Cartoon Network series.
Visuals: Against a black background with a grid of barely visible lines, there are 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:
Variants: See this page for variants. On the live-action shows, the fourth square is not shown.
Technique: 2D animation.
Audio: A four note double bass theme based on the CHECK it jingle used on Cartoon Network since the 2010 rebrand.
Audio Variants:
Availability:
Visuals: On a white background, there is a reworked version of the 2001 Cartoon Network Studios logo, which features the 2010 version of the Cartoon Network "Checkerboard" logo (which uses the current Cartoon Network font). Also, the word, "STUDIOS" (set in Eagle Bold) is smaller and is spaced-out.
Trivia:
Variants: See this page for variants, however on Mixels, a copyright stamp appears below.
Technique: 2D animation.
Audio: Usually none or the tail-end or the closing theme of the show. Some shows use a whoosh when the logo opens and closes.
Audio Variants:
Availability: .
Visuals: On a background from the preceding show, there is a new version of the Cartoon Network "Checkerboard" logo with inverted colors, more rectangular squares, and weirdly spaced letters in a black box with "STUDIOS" below it, all set in an excessively bold version of Eagle Black. The logo flips to reveal an animation (varies by show) that plays before flipping back to the logo. During this, the background flips to show more backgrounds from the preceding show before ending on a cream background.
Variants: See this page for variants.
Technique: 2D and 3D animation.
Audio: An ominous synthesized theme accompanied by two drum rolls and two cymbal rolls.
Audio Variant: On Close Enough, it uses the same sound effect from the previous logo.
