*On ''The Bugs Bunny Show'', the WB shield is seen on a red background. After a short fanfare (composed by Milt Franklyn and performed by the Warner Bros. orchestra), Bugs Bunny (voiced by Mel Blanc) appears, and says, "This folks, is a Warner Bros. Television production." The shield closes. At the end of the show, the Warner Bros. Television logo appears, accompanied by the closing theme (written by Mack David and Jerry Livingston, and conducted by Franklyn) and a chorus singing, "This is ''The Bugs Bunny Show''!" |

Suddenly, Bugs Bunny (once again voiced by Mel Blanc) pops out of the shield, and says the following: "This has been a Warner Bros. Seven Arts-". Road Runner then appears on screen and says: "Beep, beep!". Bugs then continues: "Like the bird says, this has been a Warner Bros.-Seven Arts television presentation". The shield then closes. |

*The 1971-1973 run of ''The Bugs Bunny Show'' on CBS (which was produced in 1969) uses the first few seconds of ''The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour'' variant without the Road Runner, before cutting to the previous logo's animation. Once Bugs finishes his line (with "Seven Arts television presentation" from the aforementioned variant edited over "television production"), the aforementioned beginning is shown again, in reverse. This version is cut from the 1973-1975 ABC broadcasts, though the Warner Bros.-Seven Arts logo was retained in the credits.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KpIjGLOKag</ref> |

*On ''The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie'', a custom opening was used. Here, the closing logo plays shortly after the [[Warner Bros. Pictures]] logo, but Bugs Bunny pops in from the left side of the screen and looks at the viewer, unimpressed as he twitches his nose twice. He then goes back off-screen and pushes the concentric circles away, revealing a blue backstage behind them. He examines the script as he twitches his nose twice again before splitting "That's" and "all Folks!" and using his ears to insert "{{color|red|<u>'''NOT'''</u>}}" in between them (the phrase now reads "That's <u>NOT</u> all Folks!"). Bugs Bunny then raises his eyebrows twice before exiting left. Then, the concentric circles come back and the opening logo plays as normal. Afterwards, Bugs Bunny pulls up the concentric rings while resting on the phrase "Bugs Bunny" as he bites on his carrot as usual. |

Then a large, metallic red-and-gold WB shield comes from the center of the screen, zooms up to a huge size, overshooting its mark and then backs up to its usual spot on the bullseye (this was borrowed from the 1953 3D LT short ''Lumberjack Rabbit''). Then over it, "WARNER BROS. PICTURES" "wipes" onscreen over the shield in an ugly font, and underneath is "PRESENTS" in the same font. |

Feature Animation logo. After the WB shield is there, the script "'''''Animation'''''" is written in cursive writing. |

*'''Opening:''' A recreation of the 1960s ''Looney Tunes'' abstract opening sequences. On a black background, a series of lines zoom and swirl from the screen, three lavender and one orange. The lavender lines disappear one-by-one to form the 1963 "Abstract WB" graphic, rendered in lavender. As this happens, the orange line moves downward and back up before turning into an orange "{{color|orange|PRESENTS}}", in a font reminiscent of the actual 1960s logos. It then cuts to two lines swirling around and then sliding away to reveal the series logo, also including a small blue-and-yellow version of the WB shield from the 2014-present WB Animation logos, with "ANIMATION" underneath in the same font used for the rest of the lettering on the series logo. |

Warner Bros. Animation (known from 1995-2003 as Warner Bros. Television Animation) is the successor to the original Warner Bros. Cartoons established in 1944, which was known before as Leon Schlesinger Productions. The studio was established in 1980.
Even before the studio's establishment in 1980, WB was already using special logos (most of them a variant of the Warner Bros. Television logo) for animated productions.
On October 11, 2022, Warner Bros. Discovery announced that as part of a cost-cutting restructuring, Warner Bros. Animation would merge with Cartoon Network Studios, with their respective names being retained for future productions.
Visuals: A generic variant of the 1955-1967 Warner Bros. Television logo with Looney Tunes characters.
Variants:
Technique: For The Bugs Bunny Show and The Porky Pig Show, it's hand-drawn animation, the former provided by Warner Bros. Cartoons and the latter done by Hal Seeger Productions. For The Road Runner Show, it's a still illustration.
Audio: The closing theme of the show. On The Road Runner Show, Road Runner's distinctive "Beep beep!" and tongue-popping-out sound effects (provided by Paul Julian and Treg Brown) are heard.
Availability: Seen on TV broadcasts of The Porky Pig Show and The Road Runner Show.
Visuals: Another generic variant, this time featuring the 1967 Warner Bros.-Seven Arts logo.
Variants:
Technique: Usually a still image, but The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour variant uses traditional animation directed by Robert McKimson and animated at Warner Bros.-Seven Arts Cartoons.
Audio: The closing theme of the show.
Availability:
Visuals: Same as before, the Looney Tunes characters are seen standing beside the 1972 WBTV logo (the Big "W" logo) or the Warner Bros. shield with the company name on top (in the Warner Communications custom typeface) and the byline "A WARNER COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY" below.
Bylines:
Variants:
Technique: A still illustration.
Audio: The closing theme of the show.
Availability: Seen on episodes of The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show, The Sylvester and Tweety, Daffy, and Speedy Show, The Bugs Bunny/Looney Tunes Comedy Hour, and The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show, as well as other Looney Tunes specials during the era, though most specials plaster it with the 5th logo.
Visuals: The concentric circles are shown, with "WARNER BROS. INC.", "WARNER BROS. CARTOONS INC.", "WARNER BROS. PICTURES", "WARNER BROS. CLASSIC ANIMATION" or "WARNER BROS ANIMATION INC." on the top, and "Present" or "Presents" on the bottom from 1987 on. Then the WB shield (in either red and white or blue and gold) zooms in. A few seconds later, it may either fade to a character's head or none.
Closing Visuals: The "That's all Folks!" script writes itself over the concentric circles background. From 1991 to 1997, either "A WARNER BROS. CARTOON" or the copyright stamp and the IATSE logo appears below.
Variants:
Technique: Hand-drawn animation.
Audio: "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" (1946-1955 "goofy" version) or "Merrily We Roll Along" (1945-1955 or 1955-1964 versions) in the 1979 and 1987 versions. From 1990 to 1993, "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" was used, either using a new composition by Hummie Mann or the 1955 version. Starting in 1994 with Chariots of Fur, the theme "Merrily We Roll Along" is used, orchestrated by the composers of Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries and others (such as Richard Stone, George Daugherty or Cameron Patrick). In the 1991 short (Blooper) Bunny, the theme "What's Up Doc?" is used, arranged by George Daugherty.
Audio Variants: On The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie, "Merrily We Roll Along" is arranged by Dean Elliott.
Availability:
Visuals: Over a royal blue wallpaper of little WB print shields, Bugs Bunny is seen in the spotlight, prompted on top of the company name "WARNER BROS. ANIMATION INC." in yellow-green.
Technique: Hand-drawn animation.
Audio: The sound of Bugs munching his carrot, usually played over the closing theme of the show.
Audio Variants:
Availability: Seen on syndicated episodes of Merrie Melodies Starring Bugs Bunny & Friends, as well as various Looney Tunes TV specials on MeTV Toons (often plastering over older logos from the 1970s and 1980s, in many cases the 5th logo but sometimes even the 6th Warner Bros. Television logo on any specials originally using the aforementioned logos). Its first known sighting was the special Bugs & Daffy: Battle of the Music Video Stars.
Visuals: The same as the sixth Warner Bros. Television logo, except that the text above reads "WARNER BROS. ANIMATION INC.", and the fonts are also different.
Technique: A painting filmed by a cameraman.
Audio: The ending theme of the show.
Availability: Only seen on Happy Birthday, Bugs: 50 Looney Years, Bugs Bunny's Creature Features, Bugs Bunny's Lunar Tunes and Bugs Bunny's Overtures to Disaster (even on the 1998 UK VHS release thereof from Warner Home Video).
Visuals: On a cloud background, the standard WB shield is displayed in a small, different looking design, with the byline of the owner at the bottom. The banner reads "WARNER BROS. ANIMATION".
Bylines:
Variants:
Technique: A painting filmed by a cameraman.
Audio: The opening/closing theme of the show/movie. On Taz-Mania, it has the last four notes of the Taz-Mania ending theme, which was composed by Richard Stone.
Availability:
Visuals: Over a set of clouds, there is a very metallic rendition of the 1984 WB shield, with the banner reading "TELEVISION ANIMATION", and the byline at the bottom. Underneath is the byline, "A TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY".
Variants:
Technique: A digital graphic.
Audio: The ending of the show's theme or none.
Availability:
Visuals: The Warner Bros. logo inside the concentric circles cuts onto the screen. Then, the shield zooms in towards the camera and moves down off-screen to show Bugs Bunny's face. The circles then zoom out a bit to reveal the sky background from the Warner Bros. Family Entertainment logo, and the letters "Looney Tunes" slide in. A print WB logo is also seen at the bottom of the circles.
Technique: CGI animation.
Audio: None.
Availability: Seen on Re-TV Video Library's VHS releases of Looney Tunes material, though the tapes aren't easy to find as they were only sold on Columbia House's website, in the Internet's early years.
Visuals: There are two main variants of the logo:
Trivia: On SD prints of at least episodes 2 and 3 of season 2 of Duck Dodgers, the end credits cut to black in the place where the logo should be. The reason for this is unknown, though it may be due to bad editing. The almost exact subject also happened on What's New, Scooby-Doo?, but the last credit is somehow frozen and the logo doesn't appear at all.
Variants:
Technique: A digital graphic.
Audio: It's usually the outro of the show's theme music, but is also seen silent on some direct-to-video movies (typically if it follows a DC Entertainment logo, a Hanna-Barbera credit, or a dedication in the credits).
Audio Variant: On CBBC UK airings of What's New, Scooby Doo?, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo Get a Clue!, Krypto the Superdog and Baby Looney Tunes, the last note of the show's theme music is heard.
Availability:
Visuals:
Technique: Hand-drawn animation.
Audio: A remixed version of "Merrily We Roll Along", arranged by Walter Murphy and recorded at the Newman Scoring Stage at the Fox Studio Lot.
Audio Variants:
Availability:
Visuals: The logo is similar to the 1953 MGM Cartoons logo, but instead of using Tanner the lion with baby blue ribboning, it is replaced by a Warner Bros. shield, and instead of "A METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER", it's replaced with "A WARNER BROS. ANIMATION". The word "CARTOON" is still used, and it still takes place in a blue background.
Technique: A digital graphic.
Audio: The opening music.
Availability: It was first seen in The Karate Guard and was last seen in Tom and Jerry: A Nutcracker Tale.
Visuals: On a red spotlight background, the standard WB shield is seen much like before, with Bugs Bunny (drawn in his 1940s style) on the left, munching his carrot. The shield is more computer-generated. Below the shield is "Presents" in white script.
Trivia:
Variants:
Technique: A mix of traditional and CGI animation. A still image for the closing variant.
Audio: The opening variant plays a sped-up version of the very end of the 1945-1955 rendition of "Merrily We Roll Along" by Carl Stalling with Bugs munching his carrot, while the end variant uses the end theme of the show/movie or none.
Audio Variants:
Availability:
Visuals: On a black background, a series of 3D orange circles come flying into the screen, arranging itself into the famous "bullseye" backdrop. Then a large, metallic WB shield zooms in at a fast pace, overshooting its mark and nearly crashing into the screen (again, a la Lumberjack Rabbit), and then bounces back to its normal position, as "WARNER BROS. ANIMATION" appears above it, and "Presents" below it, in the classic fonts, with a production number and a copyright notice at the bottom.
Variants:
Technique: CGI animated by Reel FX.
Audio: A remixed, short version of "Merrily We Roll Along" (with the "twanging" sound from the 1945-1955 Merrie Melodies theme), arranged by Christopher Lennertz. When the circles fly by, some whooshing sounds were heard at the beginning.
Audio Variants:
Availability:
Visuals: On a crumpled orange paper background, the WB shield (similar to the 1985 Warner Home Video shield) is at the center and a little bit to the top of the screen, made out of crumpled dark blue-gray paper and with the space in the lower bowl of the "B" being poorly-aligned, and on the bottom is the byline "A WARNER BROS. ENTERTAINMENT CO.". Below the company byline is the "www.warnerbros.com" URL. The logo gets covered up with the MAD logo all over and wipes to the left for the after-credits skit.
Variant: On the episode "KoBee Movie/Law and Ogre", the logo is drawn on a flip book, like the credits were. The shield is drawn much more smoothly and the space in the lower bowl of the "B" is aligned correctly, while the text below it is written in a cruder, notebook writing-esque font.
Technique: A digital graphic.
Audio: The ending theme of MAD.
Availability: This logo is only seen after the end credits of MAD.
Visuals: The sequence starts on a black background with a dark blue light. Then, a large WB shield in the design of the 14th logo, accompanied with the words "WARNER BROS. ANIMATION" and "Presents", in the same fonts as the 14th logo, alongside a production number and a copyright notice at the bottom, zoom in (with the shield once again zooming in closer than the letters and overshooting its mark, crashing into the screen, then quickly pulling back-again, a la Lumberjack Rabbit). Around the same time the shield appears, a colorful, painted orange/yellow bullseye "zooms" behind it. Then a quick second later, the shield zooms out, and the camera follows the shield, segueing into the opening intro of the show.
Variant: A prototype version exists, which is seen on the scrapped pilot Laff Riot from November 4, 2009.
Technique: 2D computer animation by Brand New School.
Audio: The opening theme of the show (a fast-paced jazzy remix of "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down", arranged by Andy Sturmer).
Audio Variant: The prototype version uses a fast-paced techno remix of the 1945-1955 rendition of "Merrily We Roll Along" by Carl Stalling.
Availability:
Visuals: The logo is similar to the 1953 MGM Cartoons logo, but instead of using Tanner the lion with baby blue ribboning, it was replaced by a Warner Bros. shield from the 14th and 16th logos, and instead of "A METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER", the text reads "A WARNER BROS.". The word "CARTOON" is still used, and it still takes place on a blue background.
Variant: On Tom and Jerry: The Lost Dragon, the logo is sepia-tinted and placed in a border surrounded by dragons.
Technique: A digital graphic.
Audio: The opening music.
Availability: This logo is only used on Tom and Jerry direct-to-video movies, starting with Tom and Jerry: Robin Hood and His Merry Mouse.
Visuals: On a black background, the WB shield used from the intro of the 2010 Looney Tunes shorts is displayed. Below the logo is a byline script that reads "Animation".
Trivia: Despite the official logo not debuting until 2014, the print logo appeared in-credit on shows as early as November 11, 2011.
Technique: A digital graphic.
Audio: None, the closing theme of the show/movie, or the generic network theme.
Availability: This logo can be seen on the second season of Teen Titans Go!, the first season of Mike Tyson Mysteries, Tom and Jerry: Santa's Little Helpers, Elf: Buddy's Musical Christmas, Lego DC Comics: Batman Be-Leaguered!, and other WB Animation movies.
Legacy: Its lacking design and short life make could mean its just a prototype logo for the next logo below.
Visuals: The WB shield (from the 14th, 16th, 17th and 18th logos) fades in with a dim shine over the shield and zooms in as the black background turns into a dark blood red background of Looney Tunes bullseye rings similar to that of the 1999 Warner Bros. Feature Animation logo. After the WB shield is there, the script "Animation" is written in cursive writing.
Variants:
Trailer Variant: On the trailer for Scooby-Doo! & Batman: The Brave and the Bold, a still version of the logo gradually zooms in along with the DC logo.
Technique: 2D computer animation.
Audio: None, the opening/closing theme of the show/movie, the generic network theme, or whoosh sound effects starting in 2019.
Availability:
Visuals: On a red background similar to that of the 2008 logo is the WB shield from the 2010 Looney Tunes shorts and the "Animation" script from the previous two logos. The shield opens up and Daffy Duck emerges from inside. He proceeds to bounce around the screen and interact with the logo, including taking "Animation" and flipping it like a flipbook, then using it to hit the shield like a gong. Daffy continues bouncing around until he runs smack into the camera and goes into a daze. The shield is opened again by an irritated Porky Pig, who grabs Daffy by the neck and pulls him back in before closing the shield, leaving one of Daffy's feathers to float down onto "Animation".
Trivia:
Technique: 2D computer animation directed and storyboarded by Pete Browngardt (who would go on to create Looney Tunes Cartoons), and animated by veteran animator Eric Goldberg.
Audio: Various cartoon sound effects, including Daffy's trademark "Woo-hoo! Woo-hoo!" (voiced by Eric Bauza).
Audio Variant: On Taz: Quest for Burger, a fast-paced violin rendition of "Merrily We Roll Along" plays over the logo and trails off into the opening music of the film. The sound effects and Daffy's voice are still heard.
Availability: It is currently being used in tandem with the previous logo on movies. This was first seen on Teen Titans Go! To the Movies and has since been seen on several direct-to-video releases from the company.
Visuals:
Trivia: If one looks closely at the bottom of the screen in the studio logo, one can see the production number of the short. This also applies to most of the classic Looney Tunes shorts though the 1930s and 1950s.
Variants:
Technique: 2D computer animation.
Audio: A short orchestral remix of either "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" or "Merrily We Roll Along" arranged by Carl Johnson. The closing logo features an even shorter arrangement than what was heard in the classic shorts.
Audio Variant: On the smaller shorts like "Tunnel Vision" or "Cactus If You Can", it either uses an even shorter remix of "Merrily We Roll Along" or a generic fanfare that matches the theme of the short (examples include a fairy-tale fanfare in "Fleece and Desist" or a brass fanfare in "TNT Trouble").
Availability:
Visuals:
Technique: 2D animation.
Audio: An orchestral rearrangement of the 1960s Bill Lava version of "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down", arranged by Joshua Moshier.
Availability: Seen on the Looney Tunes Cartoons short "Crumb and Get It", which is a parody of the 1960s era of the Warner Bros. cartoons, hence with this logo sequence appearing.
Visuals: On a black background with a gold light or a black-colored Looney Tunes circles background, the 2010 Warner Bros. Animation shield, with a gold color and a black interior, is seen with the banner, which is also black with a gold border, only reading "ANIMATION".
Technique: CGI animation by Phillip Crable at Devastudios.
Availability: Only seen on the Phillip Crable website and can be seen here.
