Editions by Mr. Logo Lord, Shadeed A. Kelly, V of Doom, and Wyraachur
1st Logo
(1994- )
Logo: We see the 1992-2004 logo of Cartoon Network superimposed on the screen. Usually, the copyright information and/or the Turner/Time Warner byline is seen below.
Variant: This logo would come after the 1997 Hanna-Barbera logo from either Johnny Bravo or Dexter's Laboratory with this logo zooming in on a white background. As it stops, the Service Mark symbol appears on the center right side of the logo.
FX/SFX: None. For the variant, the logo zooms in rapidly.
Music/Sounds: Usually the closing theme of the show. In other cases, it's silent. Other times, it carries the 2nd half of the long 1996 Hanna-Barbera Cartoons theme. The zooming variant uses a "whoosh" sound with other assorted SFX.
Availability: Seen on some Cartoon Cartoons of the era and Adult Swim shows, such as Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Harvey Birdman, Attorney At Law, Sealab 2021, and The Brak Show. Also, it was seen on various animated shorts aired occasionally on Adult Swim, and the 2007 revival of George of the Jungle.
Scare Factor: None. Low to Medium with the
2nd Logo
(1995-2000)
Nicknames: "Jack-in-the-Box CN Logo", "CN-in-the-Box", "CN Goes Dali"
Logo: We see the 1992-2004 Cartoon Network logo on a pink background with a yellow zig-zag line on the bottom. Then, an object pops out of the logo. It has a pinkish/purplish and blue zig-zagged stick holding an orange oval with the word "PRODUCTIONS" on it. Then, sticks and eyeballs pop
out of the CN logo. The zig-zagged stick wobbles through the remainder.
FX/SFX: The jack-in-the-box's animation.
Music/Sounds: Either the sound of the logo popping up accompanied by B-52's-esque music or the closing theme of the show. On SGC2C, the music varied from episode to episode (usually a soundbite from the preceding episode).
Availability: Appears on the DVDs of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. It also appeared on Cartoon Planet (long gone from TV, but segments from it appear on DVDs of SGC2C and The Brak Show).
Scare Factor: None to low; it looks very cool, but the sounds may unnerve some viewers
3rd Logo
(1999- )
Nicknames: "The Ripple", "Cartoon Cartoons"
Logo: On a black background, we see the then-current Cartoon Network logo in the middle of the screen. Appearing from behind the logo are the blue circles used in the 1998 Cartoon Cartoons logo. They later disappear after the theme is played. The Warner byline is seen below.
Bylines:
FX/SFX: The blue circles.
Music/Sounds: Only the ending part of the "Cartoon Cartoons" ID theme, or none.
Availability: Uncommon, but it was very common years ago. Survives on some episodes of the 2001 revival of Dexter's Laboratory when reran on Boomerang. It also, until recently, appeared directly after the split-screen credits of Courage The Cowardly Dog on Cartoon Network, plastering the Stretch Films logo (which is intact on weekend airings of that show). It also appeared on Codename: Kids Next Door. Plus, it was seen on several 1999 episodes of Johnny Bravo on Boomerang. This logo is a lot more common outside the U.S., as it is seen at pretty much the end of all Cartoon Network produced shows, and it also appears at the end of Transformers: Animated on Nicktoons.
Scare Factor: None.
4th Logo
(2000- )
Nicknames: "The CN Skull", "Skuuuuuuuuulll!!!!!!!"
Logo: We see a skull and crossbones on a white BG with the 1992-2004 Cartoon Network logo as its teeth. Copyright information is below.
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: Just someone saying "Skull!". On some Space Ghost episodes, the closing theme accompany it. Occasionally, the man saying "Skull!" will be more dramatic.
Availability: Can be seen directly after the Williams Street logo on many Adult Swim shows, such as Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Robot Chicken, 12 oz. Mouse, and Metalocalypse among others. It is also seen on IGPX: Immortal Grand Prix. On UK Adult Swim shows (mainly Robot Chicken and a couple of others), the logo's contrast has been turned up to the point where the logo is barely viewable, and only stays on screen for, in most cases, not even a second. This could be accounted to the fact that the Adult Swim lineup in the UK is broadcast on Bravo and not Cartoon Network. The only exception is on the DVD release of Robot Chicken Star Wars, wherein the logo appears unobscured.
Scare Factor: Low; the abrupt appearance of the logo may catch you off-guard. For those who are used to seeing it, none at all.
5th Logo
(November 19, 2004 June 27, 2006)
Nicknames: "The Japanese Logo", "J-CN"
Logo: On a white background, we see the current Cartoon Network logo in Japanese lettering, which later changes to the English letter initials "CN". Underneath the letters reads "CARTOON NETWORK" in its usual font and the byline "A Time Warner Company".
FX/SFX: The letters changing.
Music/Sounds: A wooden flute theme followed by people shouting in Japanese.
Availability: Rare; it was only seen on Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi. Also available on DVD.
Scare Factor: None to minimal; the music and shouting it's a little creepy for some unexpected viewers.
