Launched:

Before Cartoon Network started broadcasting on October 1, 1992, this logo was used in its marketing to cable operators and advertisers to compete againstNickelodeon andThe Disney Channel. The middle of the logo could be edited to feature all the characters (1 at a time) from shows that were planned to be aired on the network (mostlyHanna-Barbera characters, but it also includedLooney Tunes andPopeye characters through an outside agreement to air their cartoons on the network). It had many color variations including the text, as shown on some parts of the presentation reel. This logo was designed by J.J. Sedelmaier Productions, who also animated earlier episodes ofBeavis and Butt-Head, as well as the pilot/first episode ofHarvey Birdman, Attorney At Law.

Launched:

On June 14, 2004, Cartoon Network launched a new on-air look, and a new logo replaced the one that had been used since the network launched nearly 12 years earlier, along with the new slogan of “This is Cartoon Network!”. The new logo's design was made up of two black and white tiles with the network's initials ("CN", borrowed from the previous logo), and the network's full name underneath it, also in the same typeface as the previous logo. The development of the new on-air identity was led in-house in association withAnimal Logic in Sydney, Australia. It was used on merchandising products until August 24, 2010, and as a production logo from November 19, 2004, to April 14, 2013.

In September 2009, Cartoon Network began working for its third logo and "CHECK it" era. The first prototype for the third logo, using ITC Avant Garde font, and the upcoming era was designed by Qube Konstrukt but it was unused. A second prototype was made in early 2010 where it has similarities to the final version and now uses the Gotham Ultra typeface which became the network's typeface since then, with the Eagle Bold font continued to be used on its logo until May 29, 2010. The third and final version of the logo as well as the "CHECK it" era (possibly a play on the design of the network's former "checkerboard" logo) with the checkerboard theme is used extensively in the new look, created by its in-house design team andBrand New School, was unveiled on the network's 2010 upfront on April 21, 2010, and then officially became the primary logo on May 29, 2010, which replaced the 2004 logo on the said date of May 2010. On television, it was first used in bumpers featuring Chewbacca to promote the third-season finale ofStar Wars: The Clone Wars. The new logo was later brought to various European countries in November 2010, then to Asia-Pacific and Philippines in October 2011 and Latin America in January 2012.
