[edit] Hanna-Barbera still exists!
Hanna-Barbera still exists as a name just like ELP Communications. H-B keeps all the trademark names and cartoons such as The Flintstones and Scooby-Doo. King Shadeed 19:27, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Logos
I can only assume that Tregoweth is too young to have watched Hanna Barbera every Saturday morning as a child. Logo Fatishism??? Get a Life. As you can see from the gallery, the logo changed over time. This is a vital part of Hanna Barbera's legacy. And at the end of every episode, we were told to hang on through the commercials for more of (Cartoon's Name), and at 8, I believed them, and what was there was credits and the end logo. The Wiki obviously can't host every episode of every Hanna Barbera cartoon, but it can show the logos, with dates, to help nail down people memories of these cartoons. Don't delete information out of some insane puritanical goofiness. --Mickdansforth 22:05, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Very first logo?
The article claims that Hanna-Barbera's first logo came out in 1966, but doesn't the "An H-B Enterprises Cartoon" (can be seen on Pixie and Dixie and Mr. Jinks, Huckleberry Hound, and some episodes of Yogi Bear,) message count as a logo or "A Hanna-Barbera production" (not the one shown in 1966, this one was much earlier and it can be seen on Snagglepuss, Yogi Bear and a few other cartoons)?

[edit] Use of computers
I'm curious about this sentence from the Joseph Barbera article in Ephraim Katz's Encyclopedia of Film:
- "In 1957, Hanna and Barbera left MGM and set up their own production company, Hanna-Barbera, a virtual factory turning out television cartoons at an astonishing rate through a computerized numbering system."
Does anyone know any details about exactly when and how the company began using such a system? The sentence implies that it was unusual at the time. Richard K. Carson 07:40, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
