This logo can be seen after any Cartoon Network show.
Logos[]
1st logo: There is the 1992-2004 logo of Cartoon Network (Which is basically the words, "CARTOON NETWORK" written on the black and white checkerboard with the white letters on black squares and the black letters on the white squares), superimposed on the screen. Usually, the copyright stamp and/or the Turner/Time Warner byline is seen below.
Variants[]
- This logo would come after the 1997 Hanna-Barbera logo from some season 1 & season 2 episodes of Johnny Bravo, season 3 episodes of Cow & Chicken, several season 2 episodes of Dexter's Laboratory, Dexter's Laboratory: Ego Trip (after the 1998 H-B logo), and sometimes season 1 episodes of The Powerpuff Girls and the season 2 episode "Slave the Day"/"Los Dos Mojos" with this logo zooming-in on a white background. As it stops, the Service Mark symbol (SM) appears on the center right side of the logo.
- On some very early What-a-Cartoon Show shorts, the logo was up against a purple-white gradient background with text in black reading "HOME OF THE TOP TOON STARS" below. This was later plastered with the next logo then removed from most airings.
- On later What-a-Cartoon Show shorts, the logo was seen up against a black background with a white box around it with no byline. This was later removed from all airings.

- In exceptional cases, an in-credit text was used.
- On Toonheads, the logo is on a black background with "A Time Warner Company" below the logo. The copyright stamp is seen below.
- On early episodes of Sealab 2021, it's the same as the Toonheads variant, but the logo is much smaller. There is another variant in which the colors of the logo are inverted.
- On the Sealab 2021 episode, "Murphy Murph and the Feng Shui Bunch," Master Shake from Aqua Teen Hunger Force tries to break the Cartoon Network Productions logo, after he broke the 70/30 Productions and the Williams Street logos, but fails.
- On the Sealab 2021 episode, "Bizarro", the Bizarro version of Quinn jumps on the logo several times, causing the logo to lower down, while he announces "I'm helping! I'm helping!".

- On the Sealab 2021 episode "Let 'Em Eat Corn", the logo appears as normal, then we cut to a living room setting with the logo on a TV screen. Two men on a couch say a few lines, then a dresser "wakes up", looks around, then closes back up.
2nd logo: There is 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.
3rd logo: On a black or white background, there is 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 Time Warner byline is seen below.
Variants[]
- On DreamWorks Dragons, the logo is black, still and superimposed on the background used in the closing credits.
- On one episode of The Powerpuff Girls (original), entitled "Seed No Evil/City of Clipsville", it had a very poorly edited blacked out byline (presumably because of the byline on the CN Studios logo).
- On the Codename: Kids Next Door TV Movie Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S., the logo is still (likely because it was the very last episode of the series).
- On the Powerpuff Girls Rule!, the logo is squished.

Variants[]
- Starting with 2007, it appeared in 2D, and the logo is much bigger overall. If you look closely, the checkerboard teeth are also changed. Instead of using the actual corporate 1992-2004 logo, a custom variant is used with the letters in a hand-written and messy style. It was used more in 2008 and onwards.

Variants[]
- On Bill and Tony, a white background is used, plus the copyright notice is shown as "© 2015 TURNER BROADCASTING SYSTEM ASIA PACIFIC, INC.". The current variant only includes the logo, making it similar to the end of a Cartoon Network bumper or promo.
- On Series 2 of Animal Control, the logo's text is absent.
8th logo: On a blue background, A black block (the C block) rolls like a dice and a white box (the N block) dashes in and they merge. When they merge, they explode and form the 2010 version of the Checkerboard logo.
Music/Sounds[]
1st logo: Usually the closing theme of the show. In other cases, it's silent. Other times, it carries the 2nd half of the long 1997 Hanna-Barbera Cartoons theme. The zooming variant uses a "whoosh" sound with other assorted SFX. On The Moxy & Flea Show: Abducted, Flea mutters quietly, "There's no such thing as monkey underwear". On The Popeye Show, a fragment from "Popeye the Sailor", the very first cartoon, is heard. For the Toonheads variant, a woman says "Watch these and other great cartoons on the Acme Hour, right here on Cartoon Network".
2nd logo: The sound of the logo popping up accompanied by B-52's-esque music and various sound effects, ending with a 4-note jingle and a frog croaking twice.
- On SGC2C, the music varied from episode to episode (usually a soundbite from the preceding episode).
- On some episodes ("Spanish Translation", "Switcheroo", and "Surprise"), various sound effects accompanied by an accordion. On "CHiPs" and "Zorak", the same audio is used; however, several additional SFX such as a stock wobbling/sizzle sound with metallic chimes are added. There is a whimsical xylophone/piano jingle at the end.
- On "Brilliant Number One", Space Ghost says "I don't know."
- There is a different springing sound and a slide whistle on the HBO Max print of the S1 episode "Gilligan", accompanied by Latin American-style music.
3rd logo: The last 7 notes of the "Cartoon Cartoons" ID theme which is absolutely funky music from a carnival
Music/Sounds Variants[]
- On Australian broadcasts of season 3 of Chowder, the entire logo plays in a low tone.
- On DreamWorks Dragons, the ending theme plays over the logo.
- The first Season 3 episode of Dexter's Laboratory (when former show writer Chris Savino took over production) had the "Ripples" logo, but the entire logo was silent. This was most likely due to an editing error (but it's not too bad).
4th logo: Just someone saying "Skull!". On some Space Ghost episodes, the closing theme accompanies it.
Music/Sounds Variants[]
- Occasionally, the man saying "Skull!" will be time-stretched as if it was running through a granular synthesizer. This variant first appeared in 2006 and was used in tandem with the original variant until this variant replaced it around 2008 (with the exception of Squidbillies).
- On episodes of Squidbillies, the audio is replaced with a different character (varies depending on each episode) saying "Skull." or other words or phrases.
- On the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode "Sirens", Sirens sing "SKULL" instead of the guy yelling "SKUUUUUUUUUUULLL!!!!!".
- On the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode "Dusty Gozongas", the audio is replaced with a character from earlier in the episode saying "Yes!"
- On early live action Adult Swim shows (mainly Delocated and a few others), the logo is silent.

- From 2013 to 2014, the Cartoon Cartoons jingle was used. In The Fog of Courage, the tone of the jingle is slightly lower,
- On some episodes of Bill and Tony and Series 2 of Animal Control, the swoosh sound effect is used.
- On newer episodes of Bill and Tony, the current 4-note jingle is used with the conjunction of the current logo's sound effect.
8th logo: A retro 4 note theme of the new CN jingle.
Scare Factor[]
1st logo: None to low, depending on your thoughts of the logo and its variants.
2nd logo: Depends on the variant:
- Normal Variant: None to low; the pop-up of "PRODUCTIONS", the music, and the sound effects may startle a few.
- "Gilligan", "Sharrock", "Banjo": Same as the normal variant.
- "Gallagher": Same as above.
- "Pavement": Same as above.
- "Spanish Translation", Switcheroo", "Surprise": Medium to high.
- "CHiPs" "Zorak": Low to high.
- "Joshua": Low to medium.
- "Brilliant Number One", "Late Show", "Glen Campbell", "Jacksonville", "Suckup", "Art Show": None; these variants are funny.
- "Switcheroo 97", "Cookout", "Woody Allen's Fall Project": Low to medium.
- Rest of the variants: Medium to high.
3rd logo: None to low, the animation and music can scare a few.
4th logo:
- Low for the original. The abrupt appearance of the logo may catch you off-guard, as well as the voice saying "Skull!". Some of the variants may increase or decrease the scare factor.
- Low to medium for the newer one with the slower version of the "Skull!" as you may expect the short version but get caught off guard of it dragging on. For those who are used to seeing it, none at all.
- Medium to high for the Flipmode variant. The skull (which is so blurry that some should strain their eyes) and the weird techno music may scare a good number of viewers.
5th logo: Low. The music and shouting is a little creepy for some unexpected viewers. But the fact that the shouting resemble several words may be considered funny. None, only for those used to it
6th logo: None.
7th logo:
- Animal Control (Series 1) and The Fog of Courage variants: None to low, the dark background and the music may scare a few viewers.
- Animal Control (Series 2) variant: None to minimal, the swoosh might scare you.
- Bill and Tony variants: Same as the Animal Control (Series 2) variant, however, the scare factor was lowered due to the background. None for the newer shorts of Bill and Tony, as it uses the CHECK it 4.0 version of the jingle.
8th logo: Minimal to low. But overall, this is a very cool logo. However, it may annoy fans of the 1999 logo.
