TBS Productions was the in-house production company for the Turner Broadcasting System that produced original TV series for TBS. It was expanded to produce content for TNT in 1988, Cartoon Network in 1992 and Turner Classic Movies in 1994. In 1995, the original TBS Productions was renamed to Turner Original Productions and in 2001 as Turner Television before being merged into Warner Bros. Television in 2003.
In 2006, TBS Productions was relaunched when TBS became a comedy channel. It was merged into Studio T in 2016.

2nd Logo (1992-1995)

Logo: On a black background, we see a "b" with a watery texture. Then, a "t" with the same texture appears, as the "b" switches its texture to medium blue with blue, red, and pale blue stripes. Once again, the textures switch as an "s" appears. The background color then changes to purple as a rectangle appears behind the letters (forming the new TBS logo). Then the background changes to a purple and blue-ish gradient as the letters in "tbs" turn blue with green stripes. The word "PRODUCTIONS" then wipes in below, and the background wiggles.
