Line 54:
*The long version appears before several short films on TCM (usually preceded by a TCM Extras bumper), but is usually replaced with the current TCM logo on feature films.
* The print logo itself continued to be used until 2015, when they introduced a new print logo.
*The logo is also still kept on much of the Hanna-Barbera library. The short version can be still seen on Tooncast broadcasts in Latin America of ''The Flintstones'', ''The Jetsons'' (both remastered and 80s pre-Turner masters retain it), ''Top Cat'' and all three shows on the Boomerang US channel whenever they decide to rerun them again. It was also kept on Boomerang reruns of ''The Atom Ant Show'', two ''Jonny Quest'' episodes ("Arctic Splashdown" and "Curse of Anubis"), two episodes of ''SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron'', ''Captain Planet and the Planeteers'' (even modern home video releases kept it), and some Hanna-Barbera specials like ''The Town That Santa Forgot'', ''A Flintstones Family Christmas'', ''A Flintstones Christmas'' and ''Scooby-Doo in Arabian Nights''. Canada's Teletoon Retro kept the short logo on their prints of ''The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo'', ''The Scooby-Doo Show'' and ''The New Yogi Bear Show'' (
*The short version of this logo also appears on the 1997 UK VHS of ''The Perils of Penelope Pitstop: Bumper Edition'' after the silent 1969 H-B "Multiplying Rectangles" logo.
*The intro logo can be still seen whenever ''Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School'' airs on Cartoon Network, Boomerang and Tooncast, as well as at the end of the 1966 ''How the Grinch Stole Christmas!'' special on Cartoon Network.
* The enhanced version was recently found on films like ''Nine 1/2 Weeks'' (surprisingly, the [[20th Century Fox Home Entertainment]] PAL DVD release of said film retains it as well) and ''Oxford Blues'' on the Encore networks, and can be found on the original DVDs of ''Poltergeist'', ''The Wizard of Oz'', ''A Christmas Story'' (it was also spotted on a 2001 TNT airing), ''Logan's Run'', ''How The West Was Won'', a 1998 VHS of ''Gone with the Wind'', and a 2000 VHS of ''Shaft'' (1971), among other pre-1986 MGM films from MGM/UA Home Video, MGM Home Entertainment and Warner Home Video. Also seen on Movies! airings of ''Crossfire'' (1947).
Line 65 ⟶ 66:
*While live-action television series from the Turner library would always have the long extended version of the logo, be it before the intro or after the end credits, there is one exception: the 1977-1983 MGM series ''CHiPs'' actually ends with the shortened variant of the logo.
*The short version was kept on the "Dexter's Laboratory: Season One" DVD release. Notably, ''Dexter's Laboratory'' is the only Cartoon Network original series to have this logo, as it was the only CN show released before the 1996 merger (excluding series like ''The Moxy Show or The What-a-Cartoon Show'').
*As stated before above, somehow the short variant in high-pitched audio ended up on ''The Flintstones'' episode "The Hatrocks and the Gruesomes" on recent Boomerang CEE airings from 2013 until 2018 (when the show left the schedule at that time). As the logo is always wiped out on modern overseas airings on the Warner-owned TV channels, it's obvious that it was kept on that episode unintentionally (plus it was the only episode on the channel to keep the full logo). Not only that, but post-2014 reruns of the ''Scooby-Doo Where Are You'' episode "What a Night for a Knight" on the channel featured only a small nano-second frame of this logo after the [[Hanna-Barbera Cartoons#14th Logo (September 3, 1994-November 28, 1997)|
*The logo is kept on the Warner Archive Collection DVD release of the 1995 ''Dumb and Dumber'' animated series, as well as on Amazon and iTunes prints of the show. The same can be said for a few episodes of ''A Pup Named Scooby-Doo'', though most of them have the 1988 [[Worldvision Enterprises#3rd Logo (September 1988-May 26, 1999)|Worldvision Enterprises]] logo instead, preceded by the [[Hanna-Barbera Cartoons#8th Logo (September 6, 1986-1992; December 15, 1997; November 18, 1998-July 12, 2002)|CGI "Swirling Star" Hanna-Barbera logo]]. It is also kept on the Warner Archive Collection DVD release of ''Josie & The Pussycats in Outer Space'' and also on the DVD release of the 1993 special ''The Halloween Tree''.
*The short logo can still be seen on the Boomerang streaming service prints of ''The Flintstones'', most episodes of ''The Jetsons'', ''Top Cat'', ''Scooby's'' ''Laff-a-Lympics'', ''Yogi's Galaxy Goof-Ups'', ''Yogi's First Christmas'', some episodes of ''Johnny Quest'' and a few episodes of ''Tom and Jerry Kids''. Tubi prints of ''The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries'' kept it, as they use older prints (conversely, the HBO Max prints are restored and therefore lack the logo).

The Turner Entertainment Company (commonly referred to as "Turner Entertainment Co.") was established on August 4, 1986 by media mogul, Ted Turner, initially being a media distribution subsidiary of Turner Broadcasting System to oversee its film and television libraries after its ultra short-lived acquisition of MGM/UA Entertainment Co (now "Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc.," and "United Artists Corporation" respectively, which are now owned by MGM Holdings Inc.). The company was formerly responsible for overseeing its library for worldwide distribution. Since Time Warner (later "WarnerMedia" and now "Warner Bros. Discovery") acquired Turner Broadcasting in 1996, it has served an in-name only subsidiary and copyright holder of Warner Bros. Entertainment, Inc.
Nicknames: "The Blue/Green Globe", "The CGI Globe", "Planet Turner"
Logo: On a blue/violet gradient CGI starfield, an oblong blue marquee with gold trim with the word "Turner" in silver, fancy and italic letters with the right arm of the "T" extended over the other letters, and the left arm curled; this is the same as the Turner print logo moves in, close to the screen from the right. The camera turns left to follow it, and it approaches a green globe, like a planet or moon, positioned in the top left and lit from there and behind. As it approaches, it zooms out and turns its left side (the camera's right) in away from the camera, eventually settling in front of the globe as the camera movement stops.
Variants: There are two versions of the graphic; one with a large globe at the top left and smaller (in proportion) marquee that faces us at an angle at the end, and one with a smaller globe at the top right and longer, more expanded marquee that faces us head-on. The former is most commonly used as the short version. And keep these color variations in mind too:
FX/SFX: The starfield, logo and globe, all decent mid-late 1980s CGI.
Music/Sounds:
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability: Rare in its original version and common in the warp speed version.
Editor's Note: A fantastic logo due to its CGI and fanfare.
Logo: Just a still of the Turner logo on a white background, which is positioned center-left. There are segmented lines behind the logo.
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: A snippet of the Droopy Cartoon "Drag-A-Long Droopy", which is an echoed gunshot after Droopy says the line "Exciting. Isn't it?".
Availability: It's seen only in the documentary Tex Avery: King of Cartoons.
Editor's Note: It's probably a placeholder.
Nicknames: "Filmstrip Star", "Turner Star"
Logo: This has two distinct versions:
Variants:
FX/SFX: Just the fading. For the alternate The Making of a Legend: Gone with the Wind variant, there's also the star moving on the screen and zooming out. None for the Tom and Jerry Kids in-credit logo.
Music/Sounds:
Availability: Turner used this logo mainly as a print logo during this era, and any onscreen appearance of this logo is quite rare.
Editor's Note: None.
