Background
Hanna-Barbera originally released their products on VHS through fellow-Taft subsidiary Worldvision Home Video. During the shakeup at then-owner Taft which was transformed into Great American Communications, Worldvision Enterprises and its home video division were both sold off in 1988.
Accordingly, after the sale, Hanna-Barbera got its own home video line (though distribution continued through Worldvision for a short period) in 1989. The first release under the label was The Man Called Flintstone. This lasted until late 1991, when Turner bought H-B and subsequently put the video line on moratorium.
Thereafter, all H-B product was distributed through Turner Home Entertainment, then Warner Home Video (now Warner Bros. Home Entertainment).
1st Logo (1988-1989)
Visuals: On a black starry-blue gradient background, there is a yellow marquee flying in with the words "HANNA-BARBERA HOME VIDEO PRESENTATION" inside the marquee. The marquee then shines.
Variant: On the Superstars 10 movies, the logo is extended, and the word "PREVIEW" is shown instead. The marquee flies away and we see a yellow star with the image of the Hanna-Barbera stars which later flies away, beginning the previews. After the previews finished, the logo appears again, but the text reads "HANNA-BARBERA FEATURE PRESENTATION"
Closing Variant: On the same background, there is the address for the Hanna-Barbera video club reading ""H-B VIDEO CLUB, 3400 CAHUENGA BLVD., HOLLYWOOD, CA 90068" is shown with yellow and red lines above and below the address text.
Technique: Computer animation.
Audio: A majestic theme with an announcer saying "Welcome to a special Hanna-Barbera Home Video presentation!"
Audio Variants:
- On the Superstars 10 version, the fanfare is extended. The announcer says "Welcome to a special Hanna-Barbera home video presentation, brought in part by General Foods! And now, a preview of coming attractions! Your favorite Hanna-Barbera stars invite you to enjoy these movie specials on home videocassette. Fun for the whole family."
- On the "Feature Presentation" version, the announcer says "And now, your Hanna-Barbera feature presentation!"
- On the closing version, the announcer says "To learn how you get more exciting Hanna-Barbera home videos, just send your name and address to H-B Video Club, 3400 Cahuenga Blvd., Hollywood, CA, 90068." over a tropical jingle.
Availability:
- Appears on earlier Hanna-Barbera Home Video releases from the era (including the first ever release, A Man Called Flintstone), typically after the 1986 H-B Swirling Star.
- The full version appears on VHS releases of movies from the Hanna-Barbera Superstars 10 collection, such as The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones.
- It also appears on the 1988 UK VHS release of The Flintstone Kids from The Video Collection.
2nd Logo (1989-1991)
![](/w/thumb.php?f=Hanna-Barbera_Home_Video.png&width=300)
Visuals: On a blue-violet background wallpapered with the “Hanna-Barbera” script logo, a picture of the same character images from the 9th Hanna-Barbera logo, "flips" up and moves towards the screen. When it is in position, there is a large flash, then the "Hanna-Barbera" script logo, in red, is "wiped" in from both sides with a "sparkly trail" effect. Then, after that forms, the "Swirling Star" (1979-86 version) animates, as per usual, below the script logo. A long, elongated rounded rectangle with the words "HOME VIDEO" on each side, flips up so that the words flank the "Swirling Star".
Technique: Computerized 2D effects, alongside reused footage of the original "Swirling Star" logo.
Audio: A synth-piano tune that builds up into a rendition of the first few bars of the Flintstones theme.
Availability:
- Hanna-Barbera Home Video did release almost 200 titles, but most (if not all) are pretty hard to find these days.
- Most of the titles are in slipcovers released after 1989; the very first titles to feature this logo on the packaging (usually orange clamshell cases with a Worldvision byline) do not have this logo, but rather the 1986 "Swirling Star" logo, or in some cases, the 1st logo.
- It also turned up on a Christmas Day 2011 airing of Yogi's First Christmas (1980) on Australian television networks, plastering the 1977 Operation Prime Time logo. This was due to the fact that said networks used the LaserDisc release of the special as a source.
- It also appears on the Warner Home Video TV Premiere DVD release of The Jetsons: Microchip Chump due to using the 1990 VHS master.
- It also appears on UK VHS releases such as the 1990 UK VHS releases of Meet the Flintstones, Hanna Barbera's Personal Favourites: The Flintstones, Timeless Tales: The Steadfast Tin Soldier, Hanna Barbera Superstars: Wiki Waki Sports, Hanna-Barbera: Happy Hour Vol. 2, Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy: A Pup and His Pop, Have Picnic Basket, Will Travel, Yogi's Treasure Hunt: The Greed Monster, Potsworth & Co.: King Potsworth/When Bubba Rules, The Jetsons: First Episodes, and Hanna-Barbera's Christmas Sing-A-Long!, respectively, among others.

Visuals: Same as the 9th Hanna-Barbera logo, except the text moves up slightly at the end, making room for the words "home video" in yellow to wipe themselves on screen.

Audio: Same as the 9th H-B logo.
Availability: It was discovered on the 1989 U.S. VHS release of Top Cat: T.C.'s Back in Town as an intermission bumper. It's unknown if any other tapes use this.
4th Logo (1991)
![](/w/thumb.php?f=Hanna_Barbera%2816%29.png&width=300)
Visuals: Same as the Hanna-Barbera logo from this era, but with the Hanna-Barbera Home Video logo instead of the normal Hanna-Barbera logo.

Visuals: Same as the 10th Hanna-Barbera logo, except the words "HOME VIDEO" appear below the "Hanna-Barbera" text.
Technique: Same as the 10th H-B logo.
Audio: Same as the 2nd logo.
Availability:
- It appears on the final releases from H-B HV as an independent distributor, including Young Robin Hood VHS releases and The Cabbage Patch Kids First Christmas.
- Once Turner bought out Hanna-Barbera and took over distribution, most releases started with the 1987 Turner Entertainment logo, then the "Presents" version of the 10th Hanna-Barbera logo, thus signaling the end of the label.
