Warner Bros. Home Entertainment

Founded in 1978 as WCI Home Video (WCI stands for Warner Communications, Inc.), this was their first logo ever seen on Betamax tapes, VHS tapes and laserdiscs, first unveiled in 1980. The name "Warner Home Video" was adopted a year later, in 1981.

## Logos

### 1978-1986

Compared to the Neon Mickey logos from Walt Disney Home Video, this is nothing. It has no music at all, so viewers shouldn't be afraid of seeing this.

This logo is not an easy find; however, you might still find it on some (not all) Warner Bros. films on VHS from the early to mid 1980s.

### 1985-1997

Late in 1985, Warner Home Video began using the WB Shield as their primary logo for VHS and Laserdisc releases of their films. Four variants of the logo were made. The 1985 version had the byline reading, "A Subsidiary of Warner Bros. Inc., A Warner Communications Company", the 1990 version had the byline reading, "A Subsidiary of Warner Bros. Inc., A Time Warner Company", and the 1993 version had the byline reading, "A Time Warner Entertainment Company". International tapes, as well as some tapes manufactured in the U.S., did not have any bylines whatsoever although some international tapes from 1991 to 1993 used the Time Warner byline and the Time Warner Entertainment byline from 1993 to 1997.

### 1996-March 13, 2017

This was the Warner Home Video logo that was then rebranded in March 14, 2017 as Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. It appears on all the Harry Potter DVDs, and on all VHS, DVD and Blu-ray Disc releases of films and television shows distributed by Warner Bros., ever since the DVD format was even invented in America. The music would sound a little different if presented with Dolby Digital 5.1 audio.

DVD and VHS releases from 2002 to 2004 contain the byline "An AOL Time Warner Company", like the original 2003 DVD of *Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets*. However, the only DVD to feature the open matte version of the byline is on the Warner DVD release of *LeapFrog: Math Circus*.
