Animation finally re-opened its doors for good, originally geared to make TV specials starring the Looney Tunes gang. A few newer theatrical shorts were also made to be released with re-issues of a few classic WB movies. In 1986, Freleng had departed, with Steven S. Greene and Kathleen Helppie-Shipley taking his place. The studio continued making TV specials starring the </font><i>Looney Tunes</i><font color="#333333"> gang, sporadically producing new </font><i>Looney Tunes</i><font color="#333333"> shorts for theaters such as </font><i>The Duxorcist</i><font color="#333333"> (1987), </font><i>Night of the Living Duck</i><font color="#333333"> (1988), </font><i>Box Office Bunny</i><font color="#333333"> (1990), and </font><i>Carrotblanca</i><font color="#333333"> (1995). Many of these shorts, as well as the new footage in the compilation film </font><i>Daffy Duck's Quackbusters</i><font color="#333333"> (which includes </font><i>The Duxorcist</i><font color="#333333">) was directed by Greg Ford and Terry Lennon. In the early 2000s, the company began to focus less on Looney Tunes and more on action-adventure cartoons, usually starring the Justice League characters, as well as remakes of the </font><i>Scooby-Doo</i><font color="#333333"> and </font><i>Tom and Jerry</i><font color="#333333"> franchises. In 2003, as a cross-promotion with the upcoming big-budget feature film </font><i>Looney Tunes: Back in Action</i><font color="#333333">, Warner Bros. commissioned their animation studio to make nearly thirty all-new Looney Tunes cartoon shorts for theatrical release with their newer movies. People who worked for various popular animated TV programs worked on the shorts, with contributions from the current WB Animation staff. When </font><i>Looney Tunes: Back in Action</i><font color="#333333"> failed in its theatrical release, Warner Bros. decided to not release the six cartoons they had completed, and canceled production on the rest of the shorts.<br/><br/><br/></font><font color="#333333">1st Logo<br/></font><font color="#333333">(1979-1980)</font><br/></font><div align="center"> <font color="#333333" size="3">[[File:Te9Y0Z lXJPCek8pKWM7pQ15904.jpeg|299px|Warner Bros.

Then a large, metallic, ugly-looking red-and-gold WB shield comes from the center of the screen, zooms up to a huge size, overshooting its mark and then backs up to its usual spot on the bullseye. (This was borrowed from the 1953 3D LT short <i>Lumberjack Rabbit</i>.) Then over it, "WARNER BROS. PICTURES" "wipes" onscreen over the shield in an ugly font, and underneath is "PRESENTS" in the same font.<br/><u><br/>Series Title</u>: Above the "bullseye" and on the same background is "LOONEY TUNES" in its trademark font, and underneath the center is "PRODUCED BY LARRY DOYLE." In the center, we see classic clips featuring the character in the cartoon that is about to begin, such as Foghorn Leghorn, Wile E. Coyote, Porky Pig, etc. It then fades to a third card featuring a background with outlines of Daffy, Bugs, Sylvester and Tweety, and the other main cartoon staff appears in front of the background.<br/><u><br/></u><u>Closing</u><u> Logo</u>: The same concentric circles background as before, but with "LOONEY TUNES" above the center of the rings and "That's all Folks!" tracing itself on the bottom of the bullseye. Porky Pig appears in the center and stutters, "Bee-ba-da-ba-bee-da, That's all, folks!".<br/><u><br/></u><u>FX/SFX</u>: All the animation in these logos.<br/><u><br/>Music/Sounds</u>: A remixed version of "Merrily We Roll Along", arranged by Walter Murphy. Sometimes the sound effects corresponding with the classic clips shown can be heard.<br/><u><br/>Availability</u>: Only three cartoons featuring this logo were released on DVD in America: <i>The Whizzard of Ow</i> on the <i>Looney Tunes: Back in Action</i> DVD release, <i>Hare and Loathing in Las Vegas </i>on <i>The Essential Bugs Bunny</i> DVD (released in 2010) and <i>Attack of the Drones </i>on <i>The Essential Daffy Duck </i>DVD (also released in 2010). The logo is also seen on <i>Museum Scream, C.o.c.k-a-Doodle Duel,</i> and <i>My Generation G-G-Gap.</i><i> </i>However, these cartoons were never released theatrically, shown on TV or released on video in the USA, and the only known release of those cartoons are on the Australian DVD release of <i>Looney Tunes: Back in Action </i>(<i>Hare and Loathing in Last Vegas </i>and <i>Attack of the Drones </i>were also on this DVD as well, so up until <i>The Essential Bugs Bunny </i>and <i>The Essential Daffy Duck </i>DVD releases, both were only on that release). These cartoons were also seen at one point on TV in Canada.<br/><font>A possible reason why these Looney Tunes shorts have to this day never seen a release in the USA (or took years to finally receive a USA release, in the case of <i>Hare and Loathing in Las Vegas </i>and <i>Attack of the Drones</i>), is that these cartoons were five of over </font>30 shorts Warner Bros. had in production for theatrical release (some of them <i>Looney Tunes</i>, others <i>Tom and Jerry</i>). However, <i>Looney Tunes: Back in Action</i>'s failure at the box office forced Warner Bros. to reorganize their entire animation unit (while these shorts were produced by the television/direct-to-video animation unit, the feature animation division was shut down after failure). This ended up shutting down production on these shorts in 2004, with only 11 of these shorts (five of them the aforementioned Looney Tunes shorts) completed (however, the cancelled Tom and Jerry shorts were completed in 2006 as <i>Tom </i><i>and Jerry Tales</i> shorts). However, with the Looney Tunes returning to home video with the <i>L</i><i>ooney Tunes Super Stars </i>DVDs, and recently the <i>Looney Tunes Platinum Collection </i>Blu-rays, a future USA release on home video is possible.<br/><br/><u>Editors' Note</u>: This logo could be considered the 21st-century equivalent to the 1960s "Abstract" Warner Bros. logo sequences; the shield and text on the studio logo are very ugly, and the use of old clips from Warner Bros. cartoons in the series logo is highly unnecessary. This logo also started an unfortunate trend where virtually all Looney Tunes revival productions from this point on would have to reference <i>Lumberjack Rabbit</i> with the WB shield, even if the cartoon about to start isn't in 3D! The fact that it appeared on several poorly-received Looney Tunes cartoons produced by the animation department under Sander Schwartz's tenure as executive producer doesn't help things either, and does not provide a fitting end for the theatrical hand-drawn Warner Bros. cartoon shorts.</font><font color="#333333" size="3"><br/><br/><br/>6th Logo <br/>(July 30, 2010- )<br/><u><br/>Nicknames</u>: "Zooming WB Shield V", "The Shining Shield", "CGI Zooming Shield", "2010s Looney Tunes", "Lumberjack Rabbit Redux II"<br/><u>[[File:7eAzd2PElAPXV9apBkwKfQ354677.png|381px|Warner Bros.

Then a large, metallic WB shield zooms in at a fast pace, overshooting its mark and nearly crashing into the screen (again, ala <i>Lumberjack Rabbit</i>), and then bounces back to its normal position, as "WARNER BROS. ANIMATION" appears above it, and "Presents" below it, in the classic fonts. The logo then comes apart and zooms away. No series logo or closing titles appear.<br/><br/><u>Variants</u>:<br/></font><ul> <li> <font color="#333333" size="3">On <i>I Tawt I Taw a Putty Tat</i>, the circles are green, they don't fly, and the background is red. Also, the shield zooms in and stops as normal (ala the 1930s-1960s Warner Bros. cartoons). The text fades in one-by-one and instead of coming apart and zooming away, the logo just fades to a black screen.   </font></li><li> <font color="#333333" size="3">On <i>Daffy's Rhapsody</i>, it is the same as the <i>I Tawt I Taw a Putty Tat</i> variant, but the circles are red and the background is blue.</font></li></ul><font color="#333333" size="3"><u>FX/SFX</u>: All the animation in this logo.<br/><u><br/>Music/Sounds</u>: A remixed, short version of "Merrily We Roll Along." On the 3D shorts, when the shield zooms in, we hear the "twanging" sound from the 1945-1955 Merrie Melodies theme.<br/><u><br/>Availability</u> Uncommon, the first cartoon featuring this logo was <i>Coyote Falls</i>, seen in front of <i>Cats &amp; Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore</i>, and was also shown on <i>Fur of Flying</i>, seen in front of <i>Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole</i>, <i>Rabid Rider</i>, seen in front of <i>Yogi Bear</i>,<i> I Tawt I Taw a Putty Tat</i>, seen in front of <i>Happy Feet Two</i>, and <i>Daffy's Rhapsody</i>, seen in front of<i> Journey 2: The Mysterious Island</i>.<br/><br/><u>Editors' Note</u>: A much better recreation of the </font><font color="#333333"><i>Lumberjack Rabbit </i><font face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">opening than the last logo.</font><br/><br/><br/><br/><font face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">7th Logo</font><br/><font face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">(May 3, 2011-August 31, 2014)</font><br/><div align="center"> [[File:MCNImvGxXkH2n7gC38VlcA41670.jpeg|276px|Warner Bros.

Then, a large WB shield in the design of the last logo, accompanied with the words "WARNER BROS. ANIMATION" and "Presents", in the same fonts as the 6th logo, zoom in (with the shield once again zooming in closer than the letters and overshooting its mark, crashing into the screen, then quickly pulling back-again, a la </font><i>Lumberjack Rabbit</i><font face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">). Around the same time the shield appears, a colorful, painted orange/yellow bullseye "zooms" behind it. Then a quick second later, the shield zooms out, and the camera follows the shield, seguing into the opening intro of the show.</font><br/><br/><u>Series Logo</u><font face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">: Before the Wile E. Coyote &amp; Road Runner and Merrie Melodies segments that appear in the middle of the show, the bullseye appears, looking like the bullseye from the previous logo, with swirling colors (like the painted bullseye in the opening intro, but with only a few rings). The color of the bullseye is green for the Merrie Melodies version, and orange/yellow for the Road Runner &amp; Wile E. Coyote version.</font><br/><br/><u>Closing Logo</u><font face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">: At the end of the show, we see the 2008 Warner Bros. Animation logo with the TimeWarner byline, but the shield and the banner are in 3D. Then, Porky Pig, on a green background (drawn in the style of the show) opens the 3D shield (like a door), then says "Bee-ba-da-ba-bee-da (stuttering), that's all, folks!". The shield and the banner were made with Autodesk 3D Studios Max 9.</font><br/><br/><u>Closing Logo Variants: </u><br/><ul> <li>  On <i>The Looney Tunes Show</i> episode "Monster Talent", the WB shield opens to show Daffy Duck in the shield on a blue gradient background. He says "You're welcome."   </li><li>  On <i>The Looney Tunes Show</i> episodes "Devil Dog" and "Ridiculous Journey", the WB shield opens to show Taz the Tasmanian Devil in the shield on the same background used on "Monster Talent". At first surprised, he then (in the same manner as Porky Pig) says "Th-th-th-th-th-that's all, folks!".   </li><li>  On <i>The Looney Tunes Show</i> episode "The Foghorn Leghorn Story", Foghorn Leghorn opens the shield and says "That's, I say, that's, I say..." but forgets what to say afterwards and soon turns his back to the audience, asking "Uh... what do I say, Carol?" (Carol is his assistant introduced in that episode).   </li><li>  On <i>The Looney Tunes Show</i> episodes "Peel of Fortune" and "Super Rabbit", the WB shield opens up to show Bugs Bunny with a blue center, saying "And dat's de end".   </li><li>  On <i>The Looney Tunes Show</i> episode "Double Date", the shield opens to reveal Lola Bunny, who starts to greet the audience, but then stops, confused, asking "That's all WHAT? What are folks?" then commenting "He's crazy."   </li><li>  On <i>The Looney Tunes Show</i> episode "To Bowl or Not to Bowl", the Goofy Gophers open the shield, saying "That's all, folks" at the same time. They then spend the rest of the time until the fade out telling each other "After you", deciding who should say the catchphrase first.   </li><li>  On <i>The Looney Tunes Show</i> episode "Newspaper Thief", a confused Granny on an aqua gradient background opens the shield and asks "Is this the bathroom?" Daffy Duck (offscreen) yells at her "NO! Now go home!", which surprises Granny and prompts her to look behind her (presumably to search the bathroom some more or where the voice came from).   </li><li>  On <i>The Looney Tunes Show</i> episode "Bugs and Daffy Get a Job", the shield opens to reveal Dr. Weisberg, who says "On a final note, kids, don't forget to eat your broccoli. It's good for you."   </li><li>  On <i>The Looney Tunes Show</i> episode "That's My Baby", Porky appears in the shield, beginning his usual line "Th-th-th-th-that's all fo..." then suddenly stops as his stomach rumbles, commenting "Oh, I shouldn't have had those artichoke p-p-p-p-poppers", a reference to an event from earlier in the episode.   </li><li>  On <i>The Looney Tunes Show</i> episode "Sunday Night Slice", the shield opens to reveal Speedy Gonzales on a blue background, who says "Hasta luego, amigos" (Spanish for "see you later, friends") while waving his hat.   </li><li>  On <i>The Looney Tunes Show </i>episode "The DMV", Lola appears in the shield again, this time waving at the audience, and saying "That's all, folks" in a slick tone.   </li><li>  On <i>The Looney Tunes Show</i> episode "Off Duty Cop", the shield opens to reveal Leslie Hunt, in his role as Steve St. James, Off Duty Cop. He turns his dark glasses up from his eyes and says "That's all, folks!" His glasses then drop back down.   </li><li>  On <i>The Looney Tunes Show </i>episode "French Fries", Yosemite Sam opens up the shield. He yells "That's all, folks!" and then kicks a football. The sound of a window shattering is heard offscreen and Sam makes a run for it.   </li><li>  On <i>The Looney Tunes Show </i>episode "Beauty School", Lola opens up the shield and tries to say "That's the end of the show!", but she falls down to the bottom of the logo.   </li><li>On <i>The Looney Tunes Show </i>episode "The Float", the shield opens to reveal Daffy Duck, who is looking away. Then, he turns around, says to the viewer "Psst, hey," and looks side-to-side, checking if no one else is watching him. He asks, "You wanna buy a watch?" and brings out an antique pocket watch.</li><li>On <i>The Looney Tunes Show </i>episode "The Shelf", the shield opens to reveal Bugs Bunny, who says "I'll just wear it" (referring to the Nobel Prize he received and tried to display on the shelf in the episode). After he puts it on, the strap rips and the Nobel Prize falls down to the bottom of the logo, leaving Bugs surprised.</li><li>  On <i>The Looney Tunes Show</i> episode "You've Got Hate Mail", the shield opens, but no one appears to be in the shield. Then Lola walks up to the shield and says "Piper, there you are! I've been looking all over for you! You're crazy." (Piper is Lola's imaginary friend in that episode.)</li> <li>  On <i>The Looney Tunes Show</i> episode "Gribbler's Quest", the shield opens to reveal Daffy Duck with his arms outstretched (as if trying to hug someone), who says "Who wants a hug now? Come on! You know you need one." </li><li>On<i>The Looney Tunes Show </i>episode "Year of the Duck", the shield opens to reveal a Great White shark that is wearing glasses, and reading a piece of paper (which, presumably, contains a list). He says to his offscreen friends (in an Australian accent) "Ey, fellas! Get a load of this! We cracked the top ten!"</li><li>On<i>The Looney Tunes Show </i>episode "Best Friends Redux", the shield opens to reveal Bugs, Daffy and Porky, whom all say "That's all, folks!" together. This is due to the episode being the final one produced and the intended series finale.</li></ul><u>FX/SFX</u><font face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">: All the animation in this logo. </font><br/><br/><font><u>Music/Sounds</u>: A fast-paced jazzy remix of "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down." For the Series Logos, both the Merrie Melodies and Wile E. Coyote &amp; Road Runner segments have short, jazzy themes, with the Merrie Melodies theme being a fast-paced, atonal and dissonant remix of the "Merrily We Roll Along," and the Road Runner segments having a jazzy remix of the classic theme music to <i>The Road Runner Show</i>. These are all arranged by Andy Sturmer.</font><br/><br/><font><u>Availability</u>: All three logos can be seen on the series <i>The Looney Tunes Show</i><i>, </i>which no longer airs on TV but is available on the Boomerang streaming service and other digital download/streaming platforms, and the first season is also on DVD.

Coyote segments that air within the episode, and the Closing Logo can be seen during the end credits of the episode. </font><br/><br/><font><u>Editors' Note</u>: These are not very well-received due to the controversy of </font><font><i>The Looney Tunes Show </i>(basically making a sitcom out of the franchise), although that show has gotten warmer reception over the years. </font><font face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The bullseye painting behind the shield can be considered tacky by some, and the shield effect looks a little cheaper compared to the previous logo (and it doesn't have a "TWANG!" sound to accompany it like the previous logos did), and is even stranger to see here considering the show isn't even in 3D (for the most part). The dissonant and atonal music does not help much, either (not unlike Bill Lava's rearrangements of "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" in the 1960s). But the closing variations are pretty creative, and the logo is a favorite among fans of <i>The Looney Tunes Show</i>.</font><br/></font></div><div><font color="#333333"><br/></font></div><div><font color="#333333"><br/></font></div><div><font color="#333333">8th Logo</font></div><div><font color="#333333">(June 11, 2019 - )</font></div><div><br/><font color="#333333"><font color="#333333"><div><u>Nicknames</u>: "Zooming WB Shield VII",  "Retro Bullseye,"  "Throwback Bullseye," "2010s Looney Tunes III," "2020s Looney Tunes"</div><br/><u>Studio Logo</u><font face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">: Another recreation of the classic "bullseye" logo, with varied colors (such as red rings and a dark blue center, or green rings and a dark red center).
