Background[]

Cartoon Network Studios is the in-house American animation production studio of TV network Cartoon Network. Originally formed on October 21, 1994 as a division of Hanna-Barbera Productions, it has since served as the network's main production studio, also producing shows for sister networks [adult swim], Cartoonito and the Max streaming service. Most of their shows are currently distributed for the network by Cartoon Network Productions.

Its first program, The What-a-Cartoon! Show, aired in 1995, which also spun off Dexter's Laboratory in the process, with its first season becoming an instant success. After Hanna-Barbera's parent company, Turner Entertainment, merged with Time Warner, the Cartoon Network Studios name would briefly be phased out, with cartoons produced from 1997 to 2000 opting to use the Hanna-Barbera name (this included the second season of Dexter's Laboratory).

When Hanna-Barbera was folded under Warner Bros. Animation, the Cartoon Network Studios name returned, and began to produce many more popular shows in a new building in Burbank, California, such as Samurai Jack, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Time Squad, Ben 10, and newer seasons of a few former Hanna-Barbera shows. They also produced their only theatrical film to date in 2002, The Powerpuff Girls Movie, which received positive reviews from critics but unfortunately bombed at the box office. Later on in the decade, they would venture into producing live-action shows and pilots, including the infamous Out of Jimmy's Head, cited as one of the major factors in the network's downfall from 2006 to 2009.

In 2010, the studio would recoup from viewer criticism and abandon live-action entirely when the network picked up the pitch pilot for Adventure Time - which rival network Nickelodeon turned down - subsequently shifting show production to Cartoon Network Studios and beginning the network's renaissance period, producing other hit shows such as Regular Show, Uncle Grandpa, Steven Universe, Clarence, We Bare Bears, OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes and Infinity Train. They would also produce the fifth and final season of Samurai Jack in 2017 to air on [adult swim], receiving critical acclaim and becoming a ratings success. By the end of the decade, the studio began to outgrow their Burbank, California building, and closed it in 2023, moving their office to the bigger Warner Bros. Second Century building adjacent to the Warner Bros. lot, alongside Warner Bros. Animation, where both studios reside today.

Since 2022, it has operated as a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery.

1st Logo (April 28, 1996 - November 28, 1997)[]

Nicknames: "The Checkerboard", "The CN Checkerboard", "The Dexter's Laboratory Logo", "The Surprising Logo At The End of Dexter's Laboratory"

Logo: On a white background is the 1992 Cartoon Network "checkerboard" logo, with "S T U D I O S" spaced-out underneath. Below that is a byline that reads "a division of Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc." and another smaller byline below that reading "A Turner Company" (with "Turner" in its print logo and the other words stylized to match it).

Variants:

On episodes of The What-a-Cartoon! Show, the logo is instead presented over a red, yellow or blue background, with copyright text appearing underneath.
On the second half of the first season of Dexter's Laboratory with episode segments featuring The Justice Friends, a different variant is used where "STUDIOS" is in the same style as the checkerboard logo, with the same copyright text from the What-a-Cartoon! variants. After a couple seconds, Dexter suddenly crashes through the logo in one of his robots, looking left and right before the logo fades out.
- A rare extended version exists that has Dexter's sister, Dee Dee, dance by, touching the O's in the process, causing them to flip around briefly. The rest of the logo then plays as usual. It was only used on the final episode of the first season of Dexter's Laboratory, "Inflata Dee Dee/Can't Nap/Monstory".

FX/SFX: None, except for the Dexter's Laboratory variants, with Dexter bursting out and Dee Dee dancing in the extended version.

Music/Sounds: None for the original version, but sound effects that correspond with the logo in the two Dexter's Laboratory variants.

Music/Sounds Variants:

On later 1996-1997 episodes of What-a-Cartoon!, the still logo variant (with the "STUDIOS" text) 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 1997-2002 H-B logo (which ironically was first heard on another episode called "Zoonatiks") playing instead.
On the still version, it's silent.

Availability: Rare.

The still version can be seen on reruns of The Cartoon Cartoon Show (formerly The What-a-Cartoon! Show) and earlier season 1 episodes of Dexter's Laboratory (with the Dial M for Monkey segments).
The "Dexter" variant appears on later season 1 episodes of Dexter's Laboratory (with The Justice Friends segments).

Editor's Note: It's a plain, ordinary logo, though the Dexter variants can startle those who aren't expecting it.

2nd Logo (2000 - June 7, 2001, June 3, 2006) []

Nicknames: "The CN Factory Building", "The CN Checkerboard II"

Logo: On a red background, we see the original Cartoon Network Studios factory building. Under it is the 1992 Cartoon Network logo with "STUDIOS" inside of the black rectangular shape. An AOL Time Warner byline appears below.

Variants:

On the original version of Codename: Kids Next Door: No P in the OOL, there is no byline.
There is another variant where "CARTOON NETWORK STUDIOS" is written in a white impact font. There is no byline below.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None. In other cases, a sound byte from a pilot is heard. On the original version of Codename: Kids Next Door: No P in the OOL, it appears to be a punch and a grunt.

Availability: Very rare.

The first variant was seen on pilots for My Freaky Family, IMP Inc., and the Evil Con Carne pilot.
The earliest logo without the byline appeared on the original version of the Codename: Kids Next Door pilot "No P in the OOL".
The second variant appeared on the failed Korgoth of Barbaria pilot on Adult Swim.

Editor's Note: The building logo was obviously designed as a placeholder logo in 2001 shortly after CN Studios reopened. The logo resembles the Williams Street logo as well, which also may explain its reappearance on Korgoth of Barbaria, although it hasn't appeared on any other [adult swim] programming produced by CN Studios, probably due to the obscurity of this rather odd and unrecognizable logo.

3rd Logo (June 8, 2001 - March 31, 2012)[]

2002–2003[]

2003–2005; 2009[]

Nicknames: "The CN Checkerboard III", "The Grungy Checkerboard"

Logo: There are two variations for this logo:

Standard Variation: Over a white background, a green laser goes to the right, revealing a blinking, grungy 1992 Cartoon Network logo via a wipe effect, causing it to stop blinking. The laser then goes to the left, and reveals the text "STUDIOS" in the same grunge style. Then the laser disappears.
Alternate Version: We see the same logo from the standard variant already formed, in the center of the screen (with most of the letters shaking, most visibly the "W"). The logo splits in two, with walls on each side of it, causing the letters to stop shaking. Then, one of the custom animations plays in the box (see below), and the logo then closes itself.

Bylines:

2001-2003: The custom logos for the shows during the early years featured the byline "An AOL Time Warner Company".
2003-2005: The Powerpuff Girls and Star Wars: The Clone Wars variants feature the byline "A TimeWarner Company".

Trivia: This logo appeared on the title card for the 2014 Clarence episode, "Pilot Expansion".

Variants:

Sometimes it's just a still logo.
Starting with Season 2 of Evil Con Carne, the logo appears much closer up, and the border is white with black patches.
Sometimes, the word "STUDIOS" is in a different font.
On Underfist: Halloween Bash, it shows a still picture of Hoss Delgado with his Banana nunchuks and Billy saying "All that work and nothin' to show for it!"
On most shows that premiered after 2004 with this logo, the letters aren't seen shaking.
On The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, the logo is already open.
On Ben 10: Alien Force, and Ultimate Alien, the background is colored black.

Custom Animations for Alternate Variation: All animations in the alternate variation look like animatics and vary by show. The following include these:

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. Their heads pop out and Billy looks amused while Mandy looks peeved. Grim then gives a confused look. The logo is usually against a black background and takes place in a red box, although one variant of this used the standard white background with the AOL Time Warner byline.
Evil Con Carne (Season 2): Takes place in a red box. Dr. Ghastly is holding a clicker and Skarr is on a jet pack. Ghastly presses the button on the clicker and Skarr flies around, crashing into the logo, damaging it. He destroys the left side of the logo (as well) and vanishes. Dr. Ghastly looks at the audience and the logo closes without any damage.
Generator Rex (Season 1): Takes place in a red box. Rex turns his back into a jet engine, blasting off in the process while smiling, but he crashes into the logo when it closes. This is identifiable by the earthquake.
Adventure Time (Season 1): Takes place in a white box. Finn pokes Jake, as he becomes larger and larger, roaring and squeezing aside him.
Camp Lazlo: Takes place in a red box. 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: Takes place in a white box. 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: Takes place in a red box. Jack slices the logo's walls, causing the logo to close. There are two variations of the logo; One variant has a red-orange center with the STUDIOS part of the logo shaking up & down. Another variant had a red center, this time with STUDIOS not shaking, with a different sword slicing sound effect. This version has an AOL Time Warner byline.
Time Squad: Usually takes place in a baby blue box. Beauregard "Buck" Tuddrussel warns Lawrence "Larry" 3000 not to touch a button. Then, while Otto Osworth is watching, Lawrence "Larry" 3000 touches the button, causing a shock where the logo reverts back to normal. A red variant with an AOL Time Warner byline after the logo animation ends was used in Season 2.
Dexter's Laboratory (Seasons 3-4): Usually takes place in a neon green box. Dexter stands next to Dee Dee, who, slowly presses a button (like she does in the TV show, but she doesn't do it slowly in the show), causing Dexter to explode. After a flash of light, Dexter appears, scorched and visibly annoyed as a smoke particle drifts out of the logo. Like the Billy and Mandy variation, the background is usually black, although white with a red box would also be used for the same reason stated above. The white version was used on late Season 3 episodes.
Ben 10 (Seasons 3-4): Takes place in a gray box. Ben turns on the Omnitrix, chooses an alien and pushes the button, triggering a flash of green light. It also appears at the end of Ben 10: Secret of the Omnitrix.
Ben 10: Alien Force/Ultimate Alien: Takes place in a white box. We see a close-up of a grown-up Ben's eyes. We then zoom out on him and as he does in the Ben 10 original variant, he pushes the button on the omnitrix, triggering a flash of green light. Before the flash, Ben turns into a silhouette. On Ultimate Alien, the logo is slowed down and it doesn't close after the flash of green light. It also appears at the end of Ben 10: Alien Swarm.
Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends: Takes place in a red box. Mac is tackled by Bloo. They both smile at each other.
Class of 3000: Takes place in a red box. A piano plays and Sunny Bridges appear at the first of the line, smiling and taking his hat off leading the other main characters of the show on the ride through the piano. Eventually, the last one falls on to the piano.
Out of Jimmy's Head: Takes place in a red box. Two of Jimmy's cartoon friends, Pickles and Prickles, hit each other with hammers. The logo also shakes when this happens even when the box is closed.
The Powerpuff Girls (Movie/Seasons 4-6): Takes place in a red box. The girls, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup each zoom in and beat up Mojo Jojo. Mojo also bumps into the W. This variant first appeared on The Powerpuff Girls Movie.
Chowder: Takes place in a red box. 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 (Seasons 2-3): Takes place in a red box. Monsters lift the Cartoon Network part of the logo to escape, but Juniper jumps on top and squashes the monsters and then finally jumps away from the screen.
Megas XLR: Takes place in a red box. A robot from the show shoots a few laser blasts at the screen, then stops with a confused look. He accidentally fires at the right side of the logo, and it closes without any damage.
Squirrel Boy: Takes place in a red box. Rodney accidentally fires a rocket, as it catches Bob Johnson by his shoe, causing a nervous laugh by Rodney at Andy.
Johnny Bravo (Season 4): Takes place in a red box. Johnny shows off his poses, then kisses the screen. His lips get stuck in the logo, but he quickly squeezes them out.
Underfist: Halloween Bash: The original 2001 logo is shown, but with a still zooming picture of Hoss Delgado with his Banana nunchuks and Billy saying "All that work and nothin' to show for it!"
The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack: Takes place in a white box. Flapjack is seen with Captain K'nuckles. Flapjack is giggling in a really annoying way. K'nuckles gets annoyed and pulls the top of the logo, closing it.

FX/SFX: Whatever the animation in the variation is.

Music/Sounds: The sound effects in the variation. In the standard one, It's either a laser sound or the outro of the end theme (as on Whatever Happened to...Robot Jones?!). In the first two seasons of Ben 10, the Omnitrix sound effect is heard.

Music/Sounds Variants:

On CN shows that premiered up to 2004 and had the alternate version of this logo, there are slideshow projector clicking noises (the same one used in Bill Nye the Science Guy) for the opening & closing of the logo, as well as the sound of an old film projector when the logo is open.
On some shows that premiered after 2004 with this logo, there are no clicking/projector noises.
Chowder appears to have the sounds of a cash register opening and closing as the logo opens and closes.
The first 2001 episode of Dexter's Laboratory (when former show artist Chris Savino took over production) had the custom Dexter logo, but with the audio from the 1997 Hanna-Barbera logo playing over it (with the weird laugh at the end). This was most likely due to an editing error (but it's not too bad, it actually fits pretty good).
Seasons 1-2 episodes of The Life and Times of Juniper Lee and season 1 episodes of Evil Con Carneplays a one-liner from the episode, à la King of the Hill with the Deedle-Dee Productions/Judgemental Films/3 Arts Entertainment company card.
On the Star Wars: Clone Wars miniseries, a Hanna-Barbera sound effect is heard.
On The Flintstones: On the Rocks, the logo is silent.
On Adventure Time Season 1, when the logo opens, a creaky door open sound is heard. When it closes, a slam is heard, though cut off by the 1999 Cartoon Network Productions logo. On the Latin American Spanish dub, Finn and Jake are not heard.
On Ben 10: Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, the ending credits music plays over the logo.

Availability: Common.

The standard version was first seen on the premiere of Time Squad and appears on Transformers Animated (Hub Network airings cut this out, though), Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones?, and early episodes of The Life and Times of Juniper Lee, Ben 10, Evil Con Carne, and A Johnny Bravo Christmas. However, the standard version also appeared on the first airing and 2011 Blu-ray Disc of Firebreather (the future airings of said movie have the next logo below).
Some of the variations during the Cartoon Cartoons-mid 2000's era are rare and hard to find, because the shows that they were on are hardly reran nowadays. However, variants from The Powerpuff Girls, Season 4 of Johnny Bravo, seasons 3-4 of Dexter's Laboratory, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Camp Lazlo, Samurai Jack, and Ben 10 are seen on Boomerang when they are reran.
The still version appears on The Flintstones: On the Rocks, episodes 5-9 of Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law and Star Wars: Clone Wars. However it only remained on Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, while other shows like Adventure Time and Generator Rex started using the next logo starting in their 2nd seasons.

Editor's Note: A clever idea for a logo. The animations in the logo gives the show preceding it some sort of identity.

4th Logo (September 6, 2010 - May 19, 2015)[]

Nicknames: "The Three Squares", "The 3-Squared Diagonal Line", "The CN Diagonal Squared Line"

Logo: Against a black background with the spotlight of dark plus signs, we see three squares drop down forming a diagonal line. (The blue square dropping to the bottom, turning white and bounces once. The pinksquare sliding in from the left and turning white. And the yellow-orange square zooming in and turning white.) Then a fourth square opens showing a different clip of the show's characters (depending on each show). Under the logo as the stars disappear, the words "CARTOON NETWORK" wipes in and "STUDIOS" slides in from the right and pushes the text causing it to shake briefly forming the words, "CARTOON NETWORK STUDIOS". Then the clip in the fourth square turns white. Sometimes, the clip in the fourth square doesn't turn white.

Trivia: This logo was made to fit with the 2010 re-brand.

Variants: Inside the fourth square, there is a different clip depending on each episode of said show or each TV movie:

Regular Show (Seasons 1-4): A clip from the episode, "Prank Callers" where Mordecai and Rigby are laughing when they're looking up prank calls on the computer. The sound clip of them laughing is from the episode, "Death Punchies". There is the early version where it uses a clip from another episode, "Free Cake" where Mordecai and Rigby are saying "Free Cake!" twice. So far, the "Free Cake" version was only used on the first episode, "The Power" while the "Prank Callers" version was used in every episode from "Just Set Up the Chairs" to "Laundry Woes" (except original airing), "Wall Buddy", "Terror Tales of the Park III", "The Thanksgiving Special" and "New Year's Kiss". The "Free Cake" version is not intact on the first two seasons DVD release.
Sym-Bionic Titan: The Titan robot is seen while panning up to its head, with Lance saying "Form Titan!".
Adventure Time (Seasons 2-5): A clip from the episode "The Enchiridion!", with Finn saying "This party is so crazy!"
Tower Prep and Level Up: Only the first three squares appear. The fourth square doesn't appear at all.
Generator Rex (Seasons 2-3): A clip from the first episode "The Day That Everything Changed", with Rex transforming.
Firebreather: A clip of Duncan performing his fire-breathing move.
Secret Mountain Fort Awesome: A clip from the episode "Funstro", with The Fart saying "All right, who used the last of the purple stuff?"
The Problem Solverz: A clip of Alfe wearing the virtual reality goggles and gloves walking and moving his arms on the red yellow diagonal striped background.
On Level Up (excluding the pilot TV movie) and Incredible Crew, the logo (with the three squares) is superimposed over the ending of the episode on the bottom-left after the credits. Same goes for the 2013 short, Tome of the Unknown.
On Seasons 1-4 of Ben 10: Omniverse, there is surprisingly no animation whatsoever in the fourth square, as it stays white. This was also seen on the 2014 Powerpuff Girls special "Dance Pantsed."
On Regular Show, there is a small in-credit version of the logo that appears at the end of the credits. It appeared in every episode from "The Christmas Special" to "Portable Toilet".

FX/SFX: The squares forming a diagonal line, the animation of the show's clip in the fourth square.

Music/Sounds: A four note guitar theme based on the jingle used at the end of current CN bumpers since May 29, 2010.

Music/Sounds Variants:

On Sym-Bionic Titan, there is a techno robotic version of the four note theme.
On Tower Prep, the TV pilot movie of Level Up, and Ben 10: Omniverse, the four note theme is in a different style.
On The Problem Solverz, it's the short version of the show's ending theme.
On Level Up and Incredible Crew, it's the finishing theme of the episode.

Availability: Common.

It debuted on Regular Show and was used during it's first four seasons and the S5 episodes, "Laundry Woes" and "Terror Tales of the Park III". Its last appearance was on the Over the Garden Wall pilot "Tome of the Unknown."
It was also used on seasons 2-5 of Adventure Time, seasons 2-3 of Generator Rex, and the shows, The Problem Solverz, Sym-Bionic Titan, Tower Prep, and Secret Mountain Fort Awesome.
This is plastered over with the Cartoon Network Productions ripple on some episodes of Regular Show and Sym-Bionic Titan on iTunes and CN Video.
It also appeared on the TV movie, Firebreather (except for the first airing and 2011 Blu-ray Disc which have the standard version of the previous logo). However, it might be intact on the Blu-ray and DVD release of said movie.
DVD releases of Adventure Time and Regular Show also have the logo intact.
It also makes a surprise appearance on The Powerpuff Girls special "Dance Pantsed."

Editor's Note: Not well liked when this logo first made its debut. However, it still has concepts shared with the previous logo.

5th Logo (August 30, 2013 - Present)[]

Nicknames: "The CN Checkerboard IV", "The Grungy Checkerboard II", "The New Grungy Checkerboard"

Logo: On a white background, we see a reworked version of the 2001 Cartoon Network Studios logo, which features the 2010 version of the Cartoon Network Checkerboard logo (which uses the current Cartoon Network font). Also, the word, "STUDIOS" is smaller and is spaced-out.

Trivia: This logo was made to fit with the 2013 Black and White rebrand.

Variants: Like in the 3rd logo, the logo opens up which this time shows a different clip from the show depending on each variant and is not in a sketch look and closes after the clip finishes:

Uncle Grandpa: A clip from the episode, "Funny Face" with Beary Nice sitting on a blue bench saying to the ice cream "That was quite delicious." Another variant appears with the main three characters in claymation cheering (which only appears on the episode, "Guest Directed Shorts").

Everything is in a sketch look, like in 2001-2012 logo. It was animated by former Supervising Director/Co-Executive Producer Ian Jones-Quartey.
Mixels: Vulk screams "Remix!" and scratches a rainbow-colored Cubit on his turntable. On another variant, the logo doesn't open up. Unlike the other variants, this one has a copyright stamp below, although on the specials it doesn't have one (because it was shown on the end credits for the specials).

In a different episode (possibly "Pet Shop" or "The Road"), there are younger versions of the three main characters. Also, there is another variant on the episode. The younger versions of the main characters are seen laughing in a cardboard box which is shaking. However, the box collapses and the bear cubs are like "Whoaaa!".

  - Charm School's Out: A scene with Charmcaster, magically disguised as Gwen, saying "Glad."
  - Franken-Fight: A scene with Gwen, in a Rustbuggy, talking to Ben.
  - Buggy Out: A scene with Diamondhead laughing at a boy riding a bumper car behind him.
On Regular Show, it also appears as a in-credit logo at the end of the end credits. It was seen in almost every episode from season 5 to season 8 starting with "The Postcard" and ending with "A Regular Epic Final Battle".
Infinity Train (Pilot): A scene where Tulip repeatedly asks Atticus if he wants to come outside with her, to which he eventually agrees.
Infinity Train: Tulip opens up her right hand, which shows glowing green numbers continuously spinning.
- The Engine Car: The logo plays normally until the number on Tulip's hand stops at 0, at which point the box fills with light.
Victor and Valentino: Chupacabra saying "Oh, a fine choice little man!" to Victor and Valentino.
Samurai Jack (Season 5): A scene from an episode with the bearded Jack getting an intense closeup, complete with sounds of a sword opening and closing the clip in the logo.
Welcome To My Life: A scene of a young T-Kesh blowing out the candles for his birthday party.
OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes: An animatic of the main cast showing their power moves, starting with Enid's power boot, Rad's power poke, Carol making a form, Mr. Gar doing his piledrive, and finally K.O. as he zooms to the screen ending with a extreme close-up to his face. A homage to not only the 2001 logo with the standard red background and animatic, but takes it up a notch by not only using their predecessor Hanna-Barbera's sound effects, but infact paying homage to the 1994 All Stars Comedy logo. It was animated by the show's Storyboard Supervisor Jeremy Polgar.
Tiggle Winks: A scene of Tiggly Von Tigglewinks saying, "Toodles! Bye! Cya!" while starting up and driving off with Gweeseek in the back.
Craig of the Creek: A scene of JP, Craig, and Kelsey (in order from top to bottom) standing near a creek. Kelsey says, "Bad boys for life!" followed by JP agreeing excitedly.
Summer Camp Island: A scene of a pajama shirt saying "Oh my gosh, hi!".
Apple & Onion: TBA.
Sunshine Brownstone: Gene, sweating and jumping, says "Can I use the bathroom?".
Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart: Mao Mao backs up and then rams into the camera with his sword. He gives a angry stare at the viewer as the logo closes. The sounds of Mao Mao screaming can be heard as he comes at us followed by the sound effect of a sword swinging out.

FX/SFX: Same as the 3rd logo.

Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo, which is now only heard on Uncle Grandpa and Adventure Time. All other shows have the tail end of the closing theme at the beginning. Some shows use a whoosh when the logo opens and closes.

Music/Sounds Variants:

On 2014 episodes of Ben 10: Omniverse, there are different sounds that are heard whenever Ben hits the Omnitrix.
On Regular Show: The Movie and late 2014/15 and newer Regular Showepisodes, the logo does not have the tail end of the closing theme.
On the first two episodes of the Long Live the Royals miniseries, the closing theme is in place of the usual sounds and FX.

Availability: Current.

It was first seen on the sneak peak of Uncle Grandpa.
It also appears on Regular Show (along with its in-credit variant starting with "The Postcard") and Adventure Time since season 5 (the former starting with "Silver Dude" and the latter starting with "Love Games"), Steven Universe, Mixels (shorts outside the U.S. and on the specials), Ben 10: Omniverse (starting with "Something Zombozo This Way Comes"), Clarence, Black Dynamite (Season 2), Over the Garden Wall, We Bare Bears, Mighty Magiswords (the TV series), The Powerpuff Girls (2016 reboot), Ben 10 (2016 reboot), Samurai Jack (Season 5 only), OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes, and might be seen on other Cartoon Network Studios made shows in the future.
Also appeared at the end of Regular Show: The Movie.
Don't expect the Powerpuff Girls (reboot) variant to appear on the Teen Titans Go!/The Powerpuff Girls (reboot) crossover special "TTG v PPG", as said special is produced by DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation.

Editor's Note: A continuation of the 2001 logo, using elements from either the previous logo (clips used from the show), or letting the creator's mind run wild with special animatics (we're looking at you, OK K.O.).
