1st Logo
(1992-1995)
Logo: Over a white background, we see the Cartoon Network logo of the era without "STUDIOS" below. Occasionally there is a byline underneath stating "A Division of Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc., A Turner Company".
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Can be seen on older non-original Cartoon Network shows, like Tin Tin and The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest.
Scare Factor: None.
2nd Logo
(1996-1997)
Logo: We see the Cartoon Network logo of the era on a white screen, with either the word "STUDIOS" underneath, or with an extra checkered row stating "STUDIOS". In the latterlater case, Dexter bursts out of the logo in his robot, looking back and forth afterward. The standard H-B/Turner byline is below.
Variant: A longer version, seen only on one episode, has Dee Dee dancing by, and touching the O's before Dexter appears, causing them to flip around briefly. Another variation has just the still logo without Dexter or any animation. This version has a byline reading "a division of Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc." underneath, and also under that is a Turner logo and byline.
FX/SFX: None for the original variant, but Dexter bursting out.out in th alternate variant.
Music/Sounds: Sound effects that correspond to the animation.
Music/Sound Variant: On later 1996-1997 episodes of TheWhat-a-Cartoon! What-a-Cartoon Show, the still logo variant (with "STUDIOS" byline) is seen with the audio from the 1994-1999 H-B All-Stars "Comedy" logo. On the episode "Tales of Worm Paranoia," the logo has the audio from the 1996-2001 H-B logo playing instead.
Availability: The still version can be seen on several first season episodes of Dexter's Laboratory when rerun on Boomerang. It is a bit more difficult with the animated Dexter variant due to it only appearing on a few Dexter episodes, so it is rarer than the first one. However, it shows up on Boomerang from time to time.
Scare Factor: Depending on the logo variant:
Final Note: In 1997, this unit merged with Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc. and used the Hanna-Barbera brand name for their shows, renaming back to its original name in 2001 when Hanna-Barbera was absorbed into Warner Bros. Animation.
3rd Logo
(2001- )
Logo: Depends on the show, but the "standard" logo is as follows: Over a white background, a green laser passes over a blinking, grungy 1992 Cartoon Network logo, causing it to stop blinking. The same happens with the text "STUDIOS" in grunge style.
Custom Variants: All variations have a "sketched" look and often involve the logo opening and/or closing:
Bylines: The custom logos for the shows during the early years featured the byline "An AOL Time Warner Company"; The PPG version was the only variant to have the "A TimeWarner Company" byline.
FX/SFX: Whatever the animation in the variation is. In the standard one, It's either a laser sound or the outro of the end theme (as in the lighthearted, yet short-lived Whatever Happened toto... Robot Jones?).
Music/Sounds: The sound effects in the variation.
Music/Sound Variant: The first 2001 episode of Dexter's Laboratory (when former show writer Chris Savino took over production) had the custom Dexter logo, but with the audio from the 19971996 Hanna-Barbera logo playing over it (with the weird laugh at the end). This was most likely due to an editing error.error (but it's not too bad).
Availability: The regular version appears on early episodes of The Life and Times of Juniper Lee and Ben 10, and the variations appear on their respective shows. Most of the variations during the Cartoon Cartoons era are rare and hard to find, though Dexter's variation survives on the short-lived revival of the show when it is reran on Boomerang. The Johnny Bravo'sBravo variant appeared when Cartoon Network ran a mini-marathon of the show on 3/16/08.March 16, 2008.
Scare Factor: None to medium, depending on the version shown.

Scare Factor: Depending on the logo variant:
- None for the original variant.
- Low to medium for the longer variant; you may be caught off-guard by Dexter's sudden appearance.

Custom Variants: All variations have a "sketched" look and often involve the logo opening and/or closing:
- Grim and Evil/The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy: Grim, with a smirk on his face, stands next to Billy and Mandy. He attempts to chop their heads off with his scythe, but fails because they hid in their shirts. The logo is usual against a black background, although one variant of this used the standard white with the AOL Time Warner byline.
- Camp Lazlo: Lazlo blows a trumpet. Scoutmaster Lumpus walks up with a large cork and places it in the trumpet. Lazlo continues to blow on it.
- My Gym Partner's A Monkey: Jake and Adam swing on a vine (Adam, visibly uncomfortable, is being held by Jake). Jake swings off the screen, however Adam hits the edge of the logo.
- Samurai Jack: Jack slices the edges of the logo, causing it to close.
- Dexter's Laboratory: Dexter stands next to Dee Dee, who presses a button, causing Dexter to explode. After a flash of light, Dexter appears, scorched and visibly annoyed. Like the Billy and Mandy variation, the background is usually black, although white would also be used for the same reason stated above.
- Ben 10: Ben presses the Omnitrix, triggering a flash of light.
- Ben 10: Alien Force: We see a close-up of Ben's eyes. We then zoom out on him, as he presses the Omnitrix, causing a flash of light.
- Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends: Mac is tackled by Bloo. They both giggle."giggle".
- Class of 3000: A piano plays, and the characters are on it.
- Out of Jimmy's Head: Two of Jimmy's cartoon friends, Pickles and Prickles, hit each other with hammers.
- Powerpuff Girls: The girls each zoom in and beat up Mojo Jojo. First appeared on The Powerpuff Girls Movie.
- Chowder: Chowder walks by with a bag of food. He eats the O in "NETWORK". An apple falls out of the bag and replaces the O.
- The Life and Times of Juniper Lee: TBA
- Megas XLR: A robot from the show shoots a few laser blasts at the screen, then stops with a confused look.
- Squirrel Boy: TBA
- Johnny Bravo: Johnny shows off his poses, then kisses the screen. His lips get stuck in the logo.
- The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack: Flapjack is seen with K'nuckles. Flapjack is giggling in a really annoying way. K'nuckles gets mad and closes the logo.
FX/SFX: Whatever the animation in the variation is. In the standard one, It's either a laser sound or the outro of the end theme (as in the lighthearted, yet short-lived Whatever Happened toto... Robot Jones?).
Music/Sounds: The sound effects in the variation.
