Line 83:
**The same happened with a ''Pixie and Dixie'' cartoon ("Goldfish Fever"). This was odd, as these cartoons aired in a three-hour block.
*The original version is also seen on international ''Tom & Jerry Kids'' tapes.
*The long version has also
*The version with the planet on the right side and the green and white marquee was seen on a Taiwanese Video CD release of ''The Sea Wolf''.
*The short version can also be seen at the end of all 5 episodes of ''Scooby-Doo, Where are You!'' on the DVD release "Original Mysteries", preceded by the "Action" variant of the 1994 Hanna-Barbera logo.
Line 95:
**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 1994 H-B All-Stars "Action" logo before cutting to the promos and commercial break.
*The logo is also kept on the Warner Archive Collection DVD release of the 1995 ''Dumb and Dumber'' animated series, as well as on Amazon and iTunes prints
**The same can also 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 1988 version of the 1986 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''.
Line 101:
**Tubi prints of ''The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries'' also 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 short logo was also recently spotted at the end of the ''Yogi Bear'' episode "Bear on a Picnic" on HBO Max, as part of a combo with the 11th Warner Bros. Television logo.
**This is because Warner Bros "restored" that episode by keeping it in the same early '80s tape quality, as the other negative materials were damaged (which is why it also ended up like this on ''The Huckleberry Hound Show – Volume 1'', albeit with no Turner logo there).
*The short version was also seen on Hulu and Netflix prints of the 1978 ''Godzilla'' series, preceded by the Hanna-Barbera 1978 version of the 1974 "Rainbow H-B" (small variant) and the 1994 All-Stars "Action" logos.
*This also used to occasionally appear on ''The Flintstones'' when aired on MeTV, until Warner Bros. restored the entire series in 2020 for both HBO Max and the Blu-ray release and replaced any end logo with the 2003 WB Television
*The matted widescreen/green marquee version is only known to have appeared on the 1993 25th Anniversary VHS of ''2001: A Space Odyssey'' (1968).
*It was also spotted on Grit airings of ''The Treasure of Pancho Villa'' and ''Devil's Canyon'', respectively.
Line 134:
'''Logo:''' This has two distinct versions:
*1988-1993: Everything is concentrated on the center of the screen and appears through a fade-in effects on a black background. At the top, we see a very tiny star outlined by
*2001: On a black background, we see the same star from the previous variant but now bigger and in white, fading in alone on the top-center. Then the words "{{font|Serif|TURNER ENTERTAINMENT CO.}}" in a serif font fade in after a few seconds below in white, after which in the same way does the Time Warner byline in its trademark font underneath on the bottom-center in the same color, but way smaller. A widescreen version of the logo also exists for films released in that format.

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.
