After [[MGM]] closed its [[MGM Cartoons|cartoon studio]], animation directors '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Hanna William Hanna]''' and '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Barbera Jospeh Barbera]''' founded their own animation studio on July 7, 1957. The first logo showed the initials of the company '''''HB ''''' enclosed in two squares.<br />It was only used in ''The Ruff and Reddy Show.''

==1958–1961==

The logo was refreshed in 1958, modifying the design of the initials and changing the colors of the squares from Maroon/Blue to Purple/Orange. You can also notice that a small shadow was added in between the boxes.

After Time Warner was being purchased by [[America Online]] following the death of William Hanna in 2001, Hanna-Barbera was absorbed into [[Warner Bros. Animation]]. A new script logo, based on the 1961 logo (see above), is currently being used to promote H-B shows and characters and it would also be used on merchandise.
