Line 70:
*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
*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 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 All-Star Laff-a-Lympics'', ''Yogi's Galaxy Goof-Ups'', ''Yogi's First Christmas'' (1980), some episodes of ''Johnny Quest'' and a few episodes of ''Tom and Jerry Kids'' among others. 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), as does ''The Halloween Tree'' on the same service.

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.
