Hanna Barbera Logo History

[@TheJboy88]

Hanna Barbera produced most of the cartoons I watched as a kid. I loved each and every one of them. When those two great men died, the world of children's entertainment began to glow less brightly than before. Farewell good Sirs. You shall be missed.

[@californiakitty80]

The best memory of my childhood: The sweet sound of that Hanna Barbera Star!!

[@babygiraffe123]

That old "swirling star" logo REALLY makes me miss my childhood days! 😛

[@Necro_dile]

Me too

Something about it just captures your imagination. Yes, it reminds me of being 5 years old in 1978

[@powerpup97]

The swirling star really had the biggest legacy. That was their logo from I think 1977-1989. Then they brought it back in 1998 for the Powerpuff Girls.

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

1979-1991, the first time around.

[@EdnaFrom85]

I must say, outta all the logos I've seen from these companies, I love every single one from Hanna Barbera. RIP to them both.

[@bricklock1942]

I know theres comments saying they had nightmares about the Star, but I remember I had a weird dream in Maryland when I saw this logo, and after the logo played, my grandpa said “Behavior”, and I heard that out of nowhere because he was dead, and I still miss him. I had no idea why he said that, it was probably my thoughts or something. And then I got scared that it was gonna kill me, and then it ended, and that was my dream.

[@mikeprado30]

0:18 My favorite one, at the ending of The Scooby-Doo Show

[@curt349]

Yes brings back some good memories looking at the 'swirling star' logo. It used 2 scare me when I was a kid

[@AJTate-bs6li]

I used to have nightmares about the swirling star

[@kevinmyers3357]

Ikr me too I don't know why

[@cellperfecto421]

Me too. Its kind of creepy

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

It did not really bother me... what really bothered me was the Worldvision "WHOOSH Globe" logo that followed it on a few late 1980s/early 1990s prints of Scooby-Doo.

[@starfishorca2975]

The swirling star isn't scary to me. And plus there is no scary face on it.

[@EricZilla94]

Honestly the same as you I had that nightmare when I was at least 6

[@megamanj2004X]

I was born during the final season of the non-CGI Swirling Star logo. I remember the CGI one appearing on The Smurfs, The Snorks (1987-88 eps.), The Jetsons (S3 from when they had that 2 shades of light blue background closing credits), Popeye and Son, The Flintstones Kids, and the Powerpuff Girls among shows.

[@MrDeCorey]

Thank you so much for posting this I like to see these logo's. Cartoon's back then they had more meaning and care than today's cartoon's.

[@unclesporkums]

Wow! There's really none of these that I don't like! Thanks for uploadinfg these!

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

@megamanj2004X Snorks used the 1983 subvariation of the logo through the 1985-86 season, then used the 1986 CGI Swirling Star for its last seasons. Foofur and The Flintstone Kids also originally (and obviously) had the 1986 CGI version.

[@TheNoSensei]

I remember a lot of these. :D

[@davchr214]

I love Hanna Barbera!!

[@elwin38]

i remember the H-B logo from the early-mid 70's when i was very young(between 3-8yrs old) when scooby doo where went into syndication. they used to come on CBS early SAT morning. another favorite was the star going in circles. classic

[@iZ-the-Egoni]

The sound and visual combination can confuse and intimidate. Also some kids get scared at things that seem strange to us adults. Sometimes irrational fear is actually quite rational. I personally LOVE it. It's a perfect example of American Identity. Something which an English man like myself is very interested in.

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

0:26 was once seen on 1980s reruns of the Huckleberry Hound Show and the original 1961 Yogi Bear Show.

[@johntooker5030]

The swirling star would be an awesome alert tone.

[@DRQ1993]

@Pikafan2132 I agree. Thank you for understanding what Cartoon Network has gone through over the years.

[@whammy850]

Is all not right with the world when that star's going 'round? What a gorgeous sound.

[@Minako7894]

Thank you Hanna-Barbera Because they gave us a good and pretty childhood :')

[@Richardpd16378]

I remember the first 3 versions, especially the 2nd & 3rd.

[@kurtkauffman4326]

At the start of the 1979-80 television season,The "Swirling Star" Logo was in use.Also at the start of the 1986-87 television season,it came to an end.

[@knuclear200x]

It's sad how the imperfect circle rainbow star was the latest one

[@SamuelMachadoFilho]

Conheço TODAS essas logomarcas da saudosa Hanna-Barbera! Vi inclusive na Wikipédia uma foto do antigo prédio da empresa, que ficava em Burbank, já desativado. Agora a empresa se chama apenas Cartoon Network Studios, e o selo Hanna-Barbera só designa os desenhos dos personagens criados antes da compra da empresa pela Turner.

[@EWOODJ]

I enjoyed this video. Although, many of these logos are not in order. Especially the first swirling star logo.

[@hm940733]

Hanna Barbera production was the best :)

[@AshlynTheWitch]

I don't know why, but I think the spinning star logos are absolutely wonderful!

[@kevinrodgers98]

[@ramiro535]

these guys made my childhood

[@joejohnson3707]

I like the first logo and the star ones.

[@realkewlmann]

Never knew there were so many version of the star.. I saw all those logos on TV! Whoop xD And yeh Muttley Laugh ftw! hehe

[@SMUS16475]

I liked the Swirling Star logos better than any other Hanna- Barbera logos.

[@SwynnertonPictures]

I dont know why, but the logo at 0:56 to 1:02 with Mutley or whatever his name was, laughing...that really scared me as a young child, i remember seeing it on a Scooby doo VHS tape i had when i was a child

[@debowh]

The swirling star is the one the 80s babies should remember... and it's also my fave because it reminds me of the smurfs lol

[@curt349]

One that was missing was the one that HB used n the early 90s where it featured Fred Flintsone n a 'prehistoric' tux, w/cane and top hat dancing, celebrating the first 30 years of the Flintsones.

[@JohnnyBoombatz1119]

what is so scary about the spinning star logo...I think it was the best one other than the newer ones with all the characters hitting the screen

[@iCharmCity410]

i love that star sound

0:48 スーパースターフィナーレ！

[@BenjaminGessel]

Hanna Barbara is awesome. :)

[@raymond18]

In that dark place, the only thing within miles of us is that star. Its trying to intimidate us because we're on its territory. You can hear the music when it chases you. There's no getting away from that thing.

[@BenjaminGessel]

The Dog at 0:56... The Dog at 0:56-mommy, thats scawy!

[@barbarabeltran8274]

BenjaminGessel _0:56_

[@JohnStanworth]

I still love the wacky sounds!

[@PokeBaal]

Thank you Hanna-Barbera

[@carmelleevans6159]

You said it pal!

[@veemon29]

this logo definitly marks my childhood thums up if you too

[@TheArgentAgent]

The 1st one is the scariest. The tune is bizzare and giant HB is coming towards you. all the star logos were scary as well. (Not literally, but is creepy)

[@Channeleven2345789]

A majority of these logos aren't in the proper order. The logo at 0:10 was supposed to be first. 0:04 is supposed to be either before or after the zooming variants.

[@o.m.isemond2137]

That swirling star sound scared me as a kid.

[@OpinionsAnimationStudios]

Note to gagaman: It *does* send a chill down my spine...but in a positive way. The C-Major chord sounds 'jolly & uplifting' (or do we say 'funtastic'?) and not 'of despair', IMHO.. Think of it like this, m8..when you see a shooting star like that in the nighttime sky, two very talented and wonderful men (Bill & Joe) are watching over you from heaven..

[@dadadruma]

The Zooming HB logo is the all time greatest logo the cartoons associated with it says it all

[@TheHashSmokingStoner]

0:33 is the one I remember the best

[@robloxfan23_]

1:17, I remember this variant on Never ape an ape man on scooby doo where are you.

[@LinaPinilla_jpg]

The first one scared me a lot when I was a child

[@Best0fWrestling]

RESPECT FOR HANNA BARBERA

[@BenjaminGessel]

Oh sure. Its just that there is this impression I had when I was younger that he was kind of laughing AT you, or something along those lines, or he knew something you didn't, but it was never TOO sinister, etc., the music is light-hearted/goofy, and that is just what Muttley does... Though taken out of context (cartoons), I think it can still weigh on the minds of a few more sensitive kids from time to time. But I don't think I had any nightmares on his account when I was younger... :)

[@megamanj2004X]

At 0:42, what shows used the CGI Swirling Star w/ the Taft Byline?

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

_The Jetsons_ (season 3, 1987-88) _Jonny Quest_ (season 2, 1986-87) _Smurfs_ (seasons 6-7, 1986-88) _Snorks_ (season 3, 1987-88) _Yogi's Treasure Hunt_ (seasons 2-3, 1986-88) _Paw Paws_ (season 2, 1986-87) _The Flintstone Kids_ (seasons 1-2, 1986-88) _Foofur_ (both seasons, 1986-88) _Pound Puppies_ (1986 TV series) (both seasons, 1986-88) _Sky Commanders_ (1987-88) _Hanna-Barbera Superstars 10_ (TV movie collection, 1987-88)

[@CDR627]

nostalgia, pure nostalgia.

[@nawafalsalehstudios1991]

RIP William Hanna 1910-2001 Joseph Barbera 1911-2006

[@popoff21]

R.I.P. William Hanna and Joseph Barbera the best to ever do it

[@kevinrodgers98]

1:12 From American Dad! (2007) 1:12 From Disney's Phineas & Ferb (2008) 1:12 From Disney-Pixar's Up Movie (2009) 1:12 From Despicable Me (2010) 1:12 From Gnomeo & Juliet Movie (2011) 1:12 From The Pirates! Band Of Misfits Movie (2012)

[@Virgil077]

I have not seen that star logo in suck a long time, i had no idea it was Hanna Barbera.

[@KEYSERSOZE1965]

0:22....and there it is.

[@AnimatedAF]

I always hated the sound that fecking star made. Still sends a chill down my spine.

[@capanovnikola]

i see the swirling star 1986 from scooby doo and the swirling star 1985 from the jetsons and i see the hb all stars comedy and the action logo on the old boomerang europe 2009 2015 and i miss my hanna barbera cartoons

[@vladimircool1491]

1979-2002 cool logos

[@Jac2Mac]

Actually, the 1989 HB version of Hagar the Horrible features the end credits music over it.

[@kitswf]

At 0:21 ....so many childhood memories.

[@JoeScaramanga]

So have they now gone back to the Swirling Star logo?

[@GoAnimateAdventures]

Believe it or not, the logo from 1:22 - 1:26 is from the 1998-2001 episodes of the Powerpuff Girls.

[@megamanj2004X]

I thought the Richie Rich Show used the 1979-early '80s Swirling Star version? The Snorks don't have that variation. I think this must've appeared on The Flintstones Kids, b/c I saw a couple of times on the old Family Channel. I've never seen Foofur before, so I can't comment on that show. So it might be a toss between The Flinstones Kids and Foofur since both of those debuted between 1986-87 periods when Taft was still around distributed H-B shows.

[@MrGfonseca7]

The one that says A division of THE TAFT ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY at 0:42 From The Jetsons on Boomerang From Cartoon Network

[@unclesporkums]

I believe it comes before "Jetsons:The Movie."

[@Channeleven2345789]

The red swirling star is supposed to be after the original version (since the red star is based off the original), you have the enhanced swirling star preceding the original versions.

[@Marbles471]

You mean like Dexter (actually '96), Powerpuffs and so on? Yeah, that was when they brought in some younger people and just let them pump new life into things. And I think those were some of the brightest spots in TV animation's history. We had something of a minor golden age from the late 80s to the early '00s. But since then standards have been sinking like a stone once again. Things are a different KIND of bad than they were in the 60s and 70s, but they're still bad.

[@jmjfanss]

@KRnumba9 and the last one to use that logo was Yo Yogi!

[@jasobres]

I grew up with the swirling star.

[@jccw227]

What's the matter? Don't you like Muttley?

[@loneshewolf74]

It think it's The Jetson's Theme. In fact, I never noticed the similarity until now. Huh.

[@mrcool815]

My childhood

[@NermalCat]

@BloodRedFox2008 Boomerang?

[@kevinrodgers98]

1:06 From Phineas & Ferb On Disney Channel

[@MissILoveMovies]

It wouldn't change anything even if they did keep the name Hanna Barbara. Besides it wasn't made by Cartoon Network. They just happened to distribute their shows. And if they didn't drop the Hanna Barbara name it would still be the same cartoons, but under the name Hanna Barbara

[@MrGfonseca7]

0:42 From The Jetsons

[@Gurgle344]

Can you make it longer with more logos

[@Mcfaddenskyler]

Does Boomerang have one of these?

[@animelover26ful]

the one at 0:37 was from powerpuff girls and various others

[@JohnnyBoombatz1119]

I loved the new age one when I was a kid...and I used to be afraid of the star one...the one with all the characters going crazy is my favorite...oh the memories

[@SpottedleafCCRVMK]

For all of the swirling star and the KJDFGFKDFKJFJDKFJDKFFKJkjcartoonsinabox logos: wat this is so trippy

[@BenjaminGessel]

This is the random stuff that pops up in your dreams, more especially if you were a kid in the 80's, etc. This being said, that one dog that is laughing, that is a bit... Could be a bit unnerving... (Is he laughing at YOU???)

[@1Soniccool]

in 1997 the logo was on PFG

[@TNTITAN]

That 3rd logo, was it for some horror film they were making at the time? The swirling star is a classic though, what series/year was that first used, anyone know?

[@AllRequired]

What about the smaller version of the Rainbow (the first Popeye season, The Three Robonic Stooges, etc)?

[@davidjimenez2593]

Mario like all the hanna barbera swirling star

[@alooolulyz75]

Hanna Barbera became defunct in 2001, there's no more logos

[@sk8ersbus1]

I remember the 0:20 logo was attached to the ending of Scooby Doo

[@joejohnson3707]

Wait, also the ones with a bunch of running characters in a oval.

[@realkewlmann]

accordin to me, 0:08 sounds the best
