* On the HD master of ''Pom Poko'' (on at least the British Blu-Ray), the image of Totoro is white and looks glitchy. This is very likely an error with the print used. This variant can also be found on the French trailer of the aforementioned film. |
|||
* A special variant appears on the trailer for episode 2 of ''Ghiblies''. The image of Totoro is slightly off-center, then it rotates to reveal a character from the shorts using a laptop. He removes "ジブリ作品" using his laptop, then reenters it as "ギブリ作品", making it "スタジオギブリ作品" (Sutajio Giburi, an alternate spelling of the Japanese name). |
|||
* On the short ''Giant God Warrior Appears in Tokyo'', the logo has a {{color|red}} background, is in scope, and has a film effect. It's also positioned to the right. |
|||
* On ''The Red Turtle'', the logo's background is also {{color|red}}, which is a reference to the film's titular character. The logo is centered compared to the previous one. |
|||
* On the original NHK G airing of ''Earwig and the Witch'', no text appears on the logo, leaving just the Totoro image. The regular version is used on international prints, the 2021 theatrical cut and later airings of the film. |

* On theatrical prints of ''The Boy and the Heron'', a copyright date appears below. |

Studio Ghibli, Inc. (株式会社スタジオジブリ, Kabushiki-gaisha Sutajio Jiburi) (formerly known as Topcraft (トップクラフト, Toppukurafuto) until June 15, 1985) is a Japanese animation film studio founded in 1971 by former Toei Animation producer Toru Hara. Under the Topcraft name, the studio was known for the production of Nausicaä and the Valley of the Wind and doing hand-drawn animation for Rankin/Bass. It filed for bankruptcy in 1984 (possibly due to the expensive production costs of Nausicaä), which resulted in most of the animators to create a new company called Pacific Animation Corporation, which was sold to Disney and renamed to Walt Disney Animation Japan in 1988, and was dissolved in 2004, the animation staff founded another studio known as The Answer Studio Co. Ltd., while the non-animation staff moved to Disney's Japanese branch. Meanwhile during the studio's bankruptcy, Hayao Miyazaki, Toshio Suzuki and Isao Takahata bought the studio and renamed it to its current name. The studio previously was a subsidiary of Tokuma Shoten until 2005.
The name "Ghibli" was chosen by Miyazaki from the Italian noun "ghibli" (also used in English), based on the Libyan Arabic name for hot desert wind (قبلي, ghiblī), the idea being that the studio would "blow a new wind through the anime industry".
The company's logo features the character Totoro from the 1988 film My Neighbor Totoro. Several anime features created by Studio Ghibli have won the Animage Anime Grand Prix award including Laputa: Castle in the Sky in 1986, My Neighbor Totoro in 1988, and Kiki's Delivery Service in 1989. In 2002, Spirited Away won an Oscar for Best Animated Feature, the first anime film to win an Academy Award. However, Studio Ghibli never used this logo until 1991, instead they used "TOKUMA RELEASING PRESENTS" in their films. On August 3, 2014, Hayao Miyazaki (the director) retired, temporarily halting production. However, Miyazaki came out of retirement in February 13, 2017 and announced a new movie titled The Boy and the Heron, which was released on July 14, 2023. Later that year, Nippon TV and Ghibli announced that the former would purchase a majority stake in the studio which was finalized by October of that year.
Visuals: On a blue background, there is a drawing of the character Totoro from the 1988 film My Neighbor Totoro, with Little Totoro sitting on his head. The Japanese characters "スタジオジブリ作品" are seen on the bottom right, and underneath that is "STUDIO GHIBLI" in Futura, with a line above it.
