Background
Disney Television Animation (formerly the "Walt Disney Pictures Television Animation Group" and "Walt Disney Television Animation") was formed in 1984 originally as the animated production arm of Walt Disney Television. Originally at the beginning of the end credits of any series, it currently uses both an in-credit text and on some series, an in-credit logo at the end of the credits, it used either the Walt Disney Television, Disney Channel Originals (in the cases of early episodes of Kim Possible and Lilo & Stitch: The Series), and/or Buena Vista Television (for syndicated shows from the 80s-90s, ABC airings of 101 Dalmatians: The Series, Hercules: The Animated Series, and shows broadcast on UPN)/Buena Vista International (for international prints) logos. It was not until 2003, that it unveiled its own animated logo at the end of every show. Currently, it's the animation division of Disney Channel since 2005, who also produces programs for Disney XD (formerly "Toon Disney" and "Jetix") and Disney Junior (formerly "Playhouse Disney"). In 2011, the name "Walt" was stripped from its television division, renaming it to its current name.

1st Logo (September 14th, 1985-present)
 Logo:  This is not really a logo, only an in-credit text. At the end of the show, we see: Produced by WALT DISNEY PICTURES Television Animation Group ... but starting in 1986, the text was read as: Produced by WALT DISNEY TELEVISION ANIMATION ... this would usually then be followed by the Walt Disney Television logo of the time.

 Later Variants:  Produced by DISNEY <p style="text-align:center;"><span style=" font-family: Arial, sans; font-size: medium">TELEVISION ANIMATION ... again with the word "DiSNEY" in its corporate font and a copyright stamp for "Disney Enterprises, Inc." below. <p style="text-align:center;"><span style=" font-family: Arial, sans; font-size: medium">Produced by <p style="text-align:center;"><span style=" font-family: Arial, sans; font-size: medium">WALT DISNEY PICTURES <p style="text-align:center;"><span style=" font-family: Arial, sans; font-size: medium">TELEVISION ANIMATION ... this would usually then be followed by the Walt Disney Television, Buena Vista Television, Disney Television Animation, or Disney Channel Originals logo of the time.
 * This would later become an in-credit logo when the words "WALT DiSNEY" is in the actual trademark script font. This version debuted on Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time.
 * During the later years, a copyright stamp for "Disney Enterprises, Inc." is added below the text or logo (mainly the IATSE bug) at the end of the credits.
 * Starting in 2011, the name "Walt" was retired from the text reading as:
 * Beginning with the second season of Adventures of the Gummi Bears, the text was read as:

 FX/SFX:  None.

 Music/Sounds:  The closing theme of the show.

 Availability:  Common. It's seen intact on all Disney Television Animation series starting with Adventures of the Gummi Bears and Wuzzles.

 Editor’s Note:  None.

2nd Logo (1995-1997)
 Logo : On a black background we see the words "Produced by" in red zoom in, as it gets bigger it cross fades into the Walt Disney castle logo in which the bottom half is completely gone by the dark colors of the background. The words "WALT DISNEY" in it's familiar signature font in white is seen, and the words "Television Animation" in red and in the same font as the words "Produced by".

 FX/SFX : The words "Produced by" zooming in, and the cross fade into the Walt Disney castle.

 Music/Sounds : The end theme of the show.

 Availability : Extinct, as it was seen before the credits of 1995-1997 episodes of The Disney Afternoon.

 Editor's Note : The dark background and the animation in this logo may unsettle first-time viewers.

3rd Logo (November 28th, 2003-November 6th, 2016)
 Nickname:  "Disney Castle"

 Logo:  It's basically the same as the then-current Walt Disney Television logo, except the Walt Disney Pictures logo used here, unlike the WDTV logo, is not the 1985 or 1990 variant but the 2002 variant (evidenced by the brighter colors, digital animation and the seventh flag). The words "TELEVISION ANIMATION" is in place of "TELEVISION" and "PICTURES". The flash animation is also skipped.

 Variants: 
 * Most of the time, the logo is shortened, with just the arc animation. This variant is sometimes followed by the 2002-11 Disney Channel Originals logo (in the case for Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time, the 2009 reprints of first season episodes of Kim Possible, and 2005-06 ABC Kids airings), but more commonly by the BVIT logo (for international prints), the 2007-16 Disney Channel Originals logos or the 2007-11 Playhouse Disney Originals logo (both especially for HD prints).
 * On Disney+ prints of Quack Pack, the aforementioned variant is displayed in 4:3 open matte, even though a standard definition variant was made.
 * On the U.S. standard definition issues of shows prior to mid-2008, as well as the 2004 reprints of early episodes of Kim Possible and Lilo & Stitch: The Series, the logo begins with "TELEVISION ANIMATION" fading in. This variant is followed by the 2002-11 Disney Channel Originals logo (for most shows) or the 2002-07 Playhouse Disney Originals logo (for early episodes of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse).
 * Pre-2006 international prints would have "<span style=" font-family: Times, Arial, sans; ">Distributed by Buena Vista International, Inc. " cross-fading in after the short version of the logo is completed. From 2006-07, international prints cut to the 2006 BVIT logo instead.
 * Some post-2011 series updated the logo by dropping "WALT" from the logo. An extended version exists on remastered copies of The Little Mermaid: The Series with the flash forming "DiSNEY".
 * On Tron: Uprising, the logo from Tron: Legacy is used, except that the word "WALT" is dropped, and "<span style=" font-family: Times, Arial, sans; ">TELEVISION ANIMATION " replaces "<span style=" font-family: Times, Arial, sans; ">PICTURES ".
 * On Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars, the logo is shown on the credits.

 FX/SFX:  Same as the then-current Walt Disney Television logo.

 Music/Sounds: 


 * In the U.S., it has the closing theme or a line of dialogue from any of the characters, which varies from show to show and continues in the Disney Channel, Disney XD, Playhouse Disney, and Disney Junior logo.
 * On a February 11th, 2006 airing of The Emperor’s New School on ABC Kids and internationally, the long version of the 1988 Walt Disney Television logo theme plays instead (ending during the 2002-11 Disney Channel Originals logo for the former and the BVIT logo of the time for the latter). Pre-2007 non-USA prints have the music (most likely due to the fact that the closing credits play in sync with the closing theme or are followed by foreign cast credits on overseas prints), but with the retirement of the Buena Vista International (Television) logos, it is equally rare overseas on newer shows.

 Music/Sounds Variants: 
 * In 2008 (International), there is a redone version of the 1988 fanfare.
 * On the Gravity Falls episode "Fight Fighters", a Game Boy-like chime plays over the logo.
 * On the Gravity Falls episode "Carpet Diem", we hear a soundclip of Soos (who, in the episode proper, was showing Dipper a "break room" that was just an electrical panel with only a smidgen of space) going "Ow! Wait, wait..."

 Availability:  Common. Seen on multiple family-oriented Disney shows on Disney Channel, ABC Kids, Disney XD (formerly Toon Disney/Jetix) and Disney Junior (formerly Playhouse Disney) excluding Shorty McShorts’ Shorts. It premiered on Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time and made its final appearances of The O.W.C.A. Files and the series finale of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Although the original Standard Definition version is no longer used due to Disney upgrading DTA’s shows in HD in the 2010s, it surprisingly appeared on Disney XD USA airings of Lilo & Stitch: The Series in June 2018 since the episodes were sourced from Disney Channel USA’s original 4:3 masters. Used in tandem with the fourth logo until 2016.

 Editor’s Note:  Same as the then-current Walt Disney Television logo.

4th Logo (January 17th, 2014-present)
 Logo:  On a white background, the Paul Rudish design for Mickey Mouse (as seen on the new shorts of the same name) is seen next to the text that reads "DISNEY Television Animation", with "DISNEY" on top of "Television Animation". Mickey seems to be in a walking pose.

 Trivia:  Disney Television Animation's rival, Warner Bros. Animation, also debuted a new logo in Summer 2014, which coincidentally has the exact same theme: both logos are static and have a nostalgic feel to them.

 FX/SFX:  None.

 Music/Sounds:  None or the closing theme of the show.

 Availability:  Brand new. Seen on newer episodes of Disney Television Animation shows, such as season two episodes of Gravity Falls, as well as new shows like The 7D. This logo was first seen on the season three premiere of Jake and the Never Land Pirates.

 Editor’s Note:  This is a favorite for many fans of Disney’s latest animated shows such as Gravity Falls, Star vs. the Forces of Evil, Milo Murphy’s Law, the 2017 DuckTales reboot, Big Hero 6: The Series, Big City Greens, Amphibia, and The Owl House.
