* Shifting Ownership and Licensing: While Cartoon Network was originally owned by Turner Broadcasting, which acquired the Hanna-Barbera library, it's now under Warner Bros. Discovery. Warner Bros. owns the library directly. The shift in ownership and licensing agreements likely influenced the decision to show the logo less.
* Brand Focus: Cartoon Network increasingly emphasizes its own original programming and newer franchises. The Hanna-Barbera library, while iconic, represents a different era and brand identity.
* Streaming: Many Hanna-Barbera shows are now readily available on streaming services like HBO Max (now Max), which gives viewers a different way to access them.
It's worth noting that Cartoon Network still airs some Hanna-Barbera shows on occasion, and the classic logo is still recognizable to many fans. While the logo may not appear as frequently, the legacy of Hanna-Barbera cartoons continues to resonate within Cartoon Network's programming.
