Interesting how some of them play the full opening theme from start to finish, while others cut off the first five seconds or more of the theme. I also think it's funny how in the redrawn colorized versions, the heckler dog looks like he's gagging on something! I remember the "Kids Klassics" Porky Pig VHS using a Sunset Productions print of "Porky Pig's Feat," but the opening theme is muted for copyright reasons (and when it cuts to the Looney Tunes card you can briefly see the WB shield screen fading out), and it also retains the original "Porky in a Drum" closing (again with the audio muted). Oh, and just so you know, any where the redrawn "THE END" screen on a red background is a video freeze, that usually means it was just tacked on by a public domain distributor some time in the 80s or 90s in an attempt to hide any WB references; the first such instance appears at 5:32.

Sunset Productions, Inc. was a television production and licensing subsidiary of Warner Bros. Pictures headed by Jack M. Warner. It was an entity separate from Warner Bros. Television. Sunset was originally established as a subsidiary of Warner Bros. that focused on television. Its first production was a series of half-hour shows. On February 12, 1955, Warner Bros. sold the TV distribution rights to 191 of their black-and-white cartoons to Guild Films through Sunset. The cartoons part of the deal were the black-and-white Looney Tunes and all of the non-Harman-Ising black-and-white Merrie Melodies. All references to Warner Bros. in the cartoons were removed because Warner did not want to antagonize theater owners as a result of their television deals. Guild Films would hold onto the TV distribution rights to the cartoons until its bankruptcy on March 6, 1961, and the TV rights to the 191 cartoons would be acquired by Seven Arts Productions. Sunset eventually began to produce TV commercials. In April 1957, Sunset Productions changed its name to Warner Bros. TV Commercial and Industrial Films. Jack M. Warner would continue to run the subsidiary.

I guess Sunset/Guild ran out of 'C's in their roman numerals.

Warner Bros. and Paramount (the latter had gotten into television from the late 1940's, while WB branched out only in 1955) were probably the worst offenders where trying to hide the original artwork; because these same people are also trying to force everyone to stream (DVD sets are increasingly hard to find as it is) their (often altered or edited) current product). Though they still need to do much better, at least WB has made some effort to restore their cartoons.

Guild Films acquired the rights to the 1930-'43 "Looney Tunes" (and some "Merrie Melodies") in 1955. As part of their deal with Warner's, the original opening and closing titles were deleted, replaced by Guild Films titles. The original copyrights were reassigned to Warner's "Sunset Productions" subsidiary.

This is more like an _OPENING/END CARD_ compilation as opposed to a logo compilation, you know -- given that there are no logos being shown here.

Warner Bros. should've waited until 1957 and acquire A.A.P. to release those black-and-white classics like with Popeye.

Warner never acquired a.a.p, they were the one who bought most of Warner films and up to 1950 and the pre 1948 shorts depending on the month and if the shorts were animated or live action along with Popeye from Paramount

Plus remember for decades United Artists eventually bought a.a.p before MGM got involved which is ironic since a.a.p apparently wanted to buy the MGM library before United Artists bought a.a.p.
