The logo was enhanced in 1956, changes includes a less glossy texture in the shield, brighter colors and the banner was re-colored from red to light brown and inside of the shield is now colored blue-green.

==Warner Bros. Pictures (second era)==
===1984–2001===
The classic 1948 shield design was brought back for the film, Swing Shift in 1984 (with some minor changes). It would continue to be concurrently used with the studio's next logo until 2001, when AOL merged with Time Warner (now WarnerMedia). This is the most famous "Classic Logo" of the company. The design became so emblematic that other Warner Bros. divisions used the same style in their logos and it was also used in the famous "Water Tower" from Warner Bros. Studios for decades until 2019. It was also used in Space Jam (1996) alongside the infamous bullseye in the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies opening title cards as part of the gate when the Nerdlucks and Michael Jordan enter Looney Tune Land. The last film to regularly use this logo as an opening on-screen logo was The Postman.

===1998–2022===
====1998 (75th Anniversary)====
This logo is a CG recreation of the classic 1948 shield, created by Intralink Film Graphic Design as part of the studio's 75th Anniversary celebration in 1998. The opening sequence consisted of an aerial view of the Warner Bros. Studios reflected on a golden background with some posters that are seen on the studio wall such as Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Friends and Space Jam (the photograph was shot around late 1996); the shield would then rotate into view and zoom out against the CG recreation of the classic WB cloud background (though the clouds are a little grey and the cloud background is slightly darker), with the “75 YEARS Entertaining The World” byline appearing in a slide/fade-in effect and is accompanied with a wind blowing chime fanfare. Beginning in 1999, the logo appeared in some films without the byline, while maintaining the same opening sequence that would be used in subsequent versions of the vanity card. This variant debuted in Fallen and made its final appearance in You've Got Mail.

====1999–2011, 2011–2020 (New Line Cinema)====
The logo was coincidentally modified in 1999, with the metallic texture of shield being given a less shiny appearance and the color was changed from gold to a more yellowish tone, and is accompanied by a fanfare based on "As Time Goes By" from Casablanca. This became the studio's most well known "Modern Logo". It debuted with the film, Message in a Bottle; although it ceased serving as a primary logo for Warner Bros. films in 2011, it remains in use for most international WB movies (though it did appear on a few American WB films following its retirement, such as 2016's War Dogs) and New Line Cinema co-productions (in NLC's case, the vanity card incorporates a "dismantling" transition in which pieces of this logo are used to form the New Line logo). The last film to use this logo was Contagion while the last film to use this logo on the New Line Cinema version was Superintelligence.

===2020–2023===
The current design, known as Dimensional, is a three-dimensional variation of the present-day Warner Bros. shield designed by Pentagram on November 13, 2019. Initially, the previous logo is remained in use as a primary design; the current logo was relegated as a print logo for promotional use until mid-2020. The "WB" text and the border of the shield are now colored silver and the inside of the shield is now a bright blue. It is also the first logo since 1972 to completely lack a banner.
====2020–2021 (secondary)====
This logo appeared and made its theatrical vanity card debut in Tenet (2020) as a variant set on a black background. It's clear that this was a prototype of the next logo below.

====2021-2023====
This logo was introduced with the HBO Max original film Locked Down, showing a fully CGI version of the Warner Bros. Studios lot with the iconic water tower taking place at sunrise and the cloud background is completely redone in CGI using Terragen. This logo is animated by Devastudios. It also became the use for New Line Cinema and the "dismantling" position is the same. The only differences is that the pieces that form the New Line Cinema logo are colored silver to match the 2021–2023 Warner Bros. Pictures logo.
The 2021 logo currently still using on trailers of Japanese films distributed by Warner Bros. Japan due to unknown reasons.
