I could just imagine the logos. It would've been the same with the circle and the Hanna Barbera name and A Cartoon Network owned character on it. After what Willam and Joseph did for Turner, sold HB to them, helped launch Cartoon Network, and then in 2004, take down the classics to put horrid crap on television, which is about to end with new employees coming to CN (Rico Hill, Scott Synder (not new)). If anything, CN should change its name back to Hanna Barbera Cartoons Inc. , renew What A Cartoon! and make more shows that's GOOD by unkown people WITH TALENT!

As long as Cartoon Network is still broadcasting, it won't happen. I would question as to what caused you to believe this would be a valid discussion topic, but I know far better than that.

I don't see how this would be happening

Now that both Hanna and Barbera are gone, there's no longer a reason to use the H-B brand name. I'd rather it be retired, and only mean things they had a hand in.

Still, The Walt Disney name is still used for animated movies and cartoons Walt didn't particiapte in the making of (among SO many other examples), so the deaths of both Hanna and Barbera shouldn't be that much of a preventing factor.

It's just a name. Whether it's Cartoon Network Studios or Hanna-Barbera, they'de still make the same types of cartoons.

CN should've also been the Hanna-Barbera Network instead, because CN was formed when Time Warner purchased all of Hanna-Barbera way back in the early 90s.

But they didn't because they wanted to air other shows that weren't part of the Hanna-Barbera library.

Okay, but if they ever wanted to air live-action on that network(CN) at all, then they should've named it something else other than "Cartoon Network".

Except at that time, they weren't thinking about airing live-action, so they had no reason to change their name. They aren't even airing any live-action show right now, so they don't need to change their name.

And this, my friends, is why you should know history.
Hanna-Barbera sold their studio to Taft Broadcasting in the late 60s, where they would launch a spin-off studio, Ruby-Spears in the late 70s and created an Austrailian unit known as Hanna-Barbera/Southern Star. Misters Hanna and Barbera were execs at Hanna-Barbera, but they didn't own the studio that beared their name.
Cartoon Network launched in 1992 after Turner Broadcasting purchased the animation libraries of Great American Broadcasting (nee Taft Broadcasting) which included Hanna-Barbera (but, strangely, didn't include Southern Star, which was formerly owned by Taft until the mid-80s) and combined the units with his massive animation library of pre-48 Warner Bros. shorts, MGM shorts, and Popeye shorts.
Time Warner didn't purchase HB until they bought Turner in the summer of 1995.

Sorry for bringing the banned member's thread back up, but..
I could just imagine the HB logo...
Just ask Warner Bros. Animation to give CN Hanna Barbera back again...
The Hanna Barbera logo could be like this:
The cursaive logo can write itself while the oval coming in so the Hanna Barbera name could fit and all of a sudden, the HB characters pops up in a still picture with Hanna and Barbera as cartoons themselves (what an honor).
Or..... It could be an CN toon posing for a picture and then the photographer takes it and the CN character does a wrong pose and the picture is taken with a HB oval logo as if the character was inside it.
OR...........
It could be that 1994 allstars logo, but with Cartoon Cartoons and current CN originals running around instead of the HB characters, but Dexter is the mascot with "A division of Cartoon Network, An Time Warner Company.
OR...........Again.....
Foster's could have that oval still logo (like Dexter's) with Bloo in it and the background is blue, and the Hanna Barbera logo colored purple on top.
The HB allstars ACTION logo can have Megas XLR, Captain Planet, Juniper Lee, Robot Boy, IGPX, and Teen Titans (CN co produces it) with Ben 10 coming in like Johnny Quest with his omnitrix and screaming madly on the screen.
