'''Variants:'''
*There are two versions of the graphic; one with a large globe at the top left and a smaller (in proportion) marquee that faces us at an angle at the end, and one with a smaller globe at the top right and a longer, more expanded marquee that faces us head-on. The former is most commonly used as the short version.
Other variations:
**{{color|Red}}/{{color|violet}} starfield, {{color|violet}}/white/{{color|gold}} marquee, {{color|blue}} planet facing the left, marquee sweeps at a moderate speed after about a second, facing the camera at an angle.
**{{color|Blue}} starfield, {{color|blue}}/white/{{color|gold}} marquee, {{color|blue|bluish}}-{{color|green}} planet facing the left, marquee sweeps at a moderate speed after about a second, facing the camera at an angle.

*The Time Warner variant was seen on some modern home video releases of MGM features, like the 2001 special edition of the 1970 documentary film ''Elvis: That's the Way It Is''.
*The H-B/Turner combo is very rare and can be seen on seasons 2-4 of ''Tom & Jerry Kids''. But it can still be seen on the show's prints on the Boomerang streaming service. It was later revealed that this logo appeared in what is considered to be the original airing of the season 1 short "Flippin' Fido" (if it didn't even contain the actual intro and credits) on ''Tom and Jerry: The Deluxe Anniversary Collection'', where that variation was restored.
*The variants from ''The Making of a Legend: Gone with the Wind'' are ultra rare, as the documentary

The Turner Entertainment Company (commonly referred to as "Turner Entertainment Co.") was established on August 4, 1986 by Ted Turner, initially being a media distribution subsidiary of Turner Broadcasting System to oversee its film and television libraries for domestic and worldwide distribution, after its 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.) Since Time Warner (later "WarnerMedia" and now "Warner Bros. Discovery") acquired Turner Broadcasting in 1996, it has served as 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, a blue oblong marquee with gold trim with the word "Turner" in silver and fancy italic letters with the right arm of the "T" extended over the other letters, and the left arm curled 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.
