These are the logo variations seen throughout the years by Warner Bros. Pictures.

**The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) and The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex (1939):** The shield is apricot and is surrounded by vines and plants. The latter has the lighter concept.

**Rope (1948):** The WB logo is superimposed on a opening shot. The shield is unnaturally pale.

**The Nun's Story (1959):** Uses the same shield from *The Young Philadelphians* on a black background. The logo zooms in as it fades in. Often plastered with a recent WB logo on some newer prints.

**A Summer Place (1959):** The Warner Bros. shield is superimposed over a beach at sunset.

**The Sundowners (1960):** The WB shield is in a 30's style and has no banner around it. It is superimposed on an Australian grassland background.

**The Sins of Rachel Cade (1961):** We see a black and white WB shield on a black background. It then morphs into the outline of Angie Dickinson's character, Rachel Cade.

**Splendor in the Grass (1961):** The shield is carved onto a granite background.

**Gay Purr-ee (1962):** The WB shield is inside a blue rounded rectangle with "PRESENTS" in a red rounded rectangle, amongst other colorful rounded rectangles.

**Adventures of the Road Runner (1962):** The bannerless WB shield is on a red-orange sign, and the words "WARNER BROS. PICTURES", in a cartoon-ish font, are on a bright red sign, with the word "Presents" in a red script font below.

**The Music Man (1962):** We see a very large array of uniformed marchers moving forward, two further in front who are carrying on either side a wide red banner with the Warner Bros. logo on it. The camera then zooms in on the banner to show the usual logo.

**Gypsy (1962):** We start out with an orchestra on a stage. When the music starts, the outline of the shield is formed on a curtain, and then the inside afterward. The shield is gold.

**Critic's Choice (1963):** Cartoon posters of musicals appear one by one until they make up the background. Then the white shield from *The Young Philadelphians* fades in.

**Kingdom of Saguenay (1963):** The shield's banner is metallic. Also, the shield is in the middle of the screen and "PRESENTS" is absent.

**My Fair Lady (1964):** The logo is colored shadow brown and is on a flowerbed background, with the words in Edwardian Script font.

**The Great Race (1965):** The bannerless WB shield is on a completely different background, with "PRESENTS" in the "Posse" font, used in the opening credits for the 1959-1973 series *Bonanza*.

**The Battle of the Villa Fiorita (1965):** The 3D shield from the 1950's appears on a different sky background. The shield is now metallic, and looks slightly different from the previous version.

**Bonnie and Clyde (1967):** The shield is put on a black background and is sepia toned.

**The Omega Man (1972):** The WB shield is superimposed over Charlton Heston driving a car. The banner reads "A KINNEY LEISURE SERVICE".

**What's Up, Doc? (1972):**

Both variants have the logo in gold on a brown book:

* Opening: As we zoom out, we see a hand opening the book to the inside cover, and then to text which says "Warner Bros., A Warner Communications Company Presents".
* Closing: The final page reads "Distributed by Warner Bros.". The book is then closed.

**Blazing Saddles (1974):** The 1948-1967 WB shield on a black background burns up to start the movie. The words "WARNER BROS. PICTURES" are also glowing. Seen after the 1972 logo.

**Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974):** The 1948-1967 WB shield is seen on a cloudy background. Seen after the 1972 logo and the David Susskind credit.

**The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976):** On American Heroes Channel airings, the current logo with the TimeWarner byline is still and is tinted in sepia.

**The Late Show (1977):** The logo features the 1937 shield without Jack L. Warner's name and "Presents". Apparently, this film was supposed to be a modern-day detective story with a 1940s feel to it.

**The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie (1979):** A replica of the 1936-1964 Merrie Melodies cartoon intro (including red rings and a blue center) is used with the red and white WB shield and Bugs Bunny on the top of it saying "Eat your heart out, Burt Reynolds!" Only seen at the end of the movie.

**The Main Event (1979):** The 1972 logo is on a purple background.

**Time After Time (1979):** The 1948-1967 WB shield zooms in on a cloudy background while the classic 30's fanfare plays in the background. Seen after the 1979 Orion/WB logo.

**Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales (1982):** It starts with the regular logo, then it has the \\' logo with a circle of the 1940s cartoon logo which comes out of the \\'.

**The Killing Fields (1984):** The 1984 logo starts off bylineless. Then, the byline fades in.

**City Heat (1984), Under the Cherry Moon (1986), and Heartbreak Ridge (1986):** The logo is in black and white. However, on *Under the Cherry Moon*, the logo starts in color but fades to B&W.

**The Goonies (1985):** The logo fades to a skull with crossbones.

**Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird (1985) and Here's Looking at You (TV Movie):**

*Note: the opening and closing credits only apply to* Follow That Bird*.*

* Opening: We get a brief 2-D animated segment where a cartoon Big Bird finds an air pump and a balloon. He inflates the balloon and it turns out to be a "W", which pops off and flies into the sky, where it morphs into the "W" in the "WB" shield as the rest of the shield forms around it. While this happens, Big Bird announces that "Sesame Street is brought to you today by the letters W and B."
* Closing: The closing in-credit logo is yellow.

* This also appears on the latter title, with John Williams' *Superman* theme playing over it.

**Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment (1985):** The theme music starts over it. The inside of the shield has a forest green tint.

**Pee-Wee's Big Adventure (1985):** The "PRESENTS" variant of the normal logo (with the fanfare) makes a cameo at the beginning of the overblown film adaptation of Pee-wee Herman's adventure to find his bike. Pee-wee is visiting with the hobo character and his pals when it appears on the screen in the background.

**The Color Purple (1985):** The logo has a very slight maroon tint.

**Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer (1985):** At the very end of the film, instead of the regular 1972 closing logo, we see the "Distributed by" WB shield bug seen on movie posters from 1985-90, tinted in rainbow like the credits, and scrolling with the credits.

**One Crazy Summer (1986):** The logo turns crudely drawn, with wiggling clouds. The byline & clouds dissipate as an evil-looking animated pink bunny, who wears a red-white striped helicopter cap (like the one seen in the following movie) and has the picture of a No Rhino sign on his body, opens the shield from inside. He laughs, and then we zoom into his mouth, seeing the opening title zoom in toward us, transitioning to the opening.

**Who’s That Girl? (1987):** The Warner Bros. logo with byline appears as animated on a granite background. We zoom up to the logo, the shield opens like a door, and out comes a cartoon Madonna, who closes the shield and poses sexy for the camera. The logo goes up and she moves down to make way for the opening credits.

**Daffy Duck's Quackbusters (1988):** The 1984 logo starts with only the sky background, but then the shield zooms in as it would on Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies, stopping at its usual place, and then the byline fades in. A re-orchestrated version of the fanfare from the LT short *Porky's Preview* starting with a roaring sound as the shield zooms in plays over. This comes directly after the Daffy Duck short *Night of the Living Duck*, which opens the film.

**Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992):** The WB shield is a metallic orange and the byline is in a different font. The background fades to the opening shot and the logo fades out.

**Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990):** Instead of the normal shield logo, a replica of the classic 1936-1964 WB "circles" cartoon logo comes up, with its text and minus the shield ("PICTURES, INC." is removed in favor of "A TIME WARNER COMPANY"). The shield then zooms up with Bugs Bunny riding it, and the text fades out. Daffy Duck then comes on screen, angrily pushes him off the shield ("50 years of you hogging the spotlight is ENOUGH!"), and tries to ride it... well, it doesn't work as good for him :) They also have another Looney Tunes-style ending, with Porky doing the usual "That's all Folks!" ending before Daffy, like before, complains of Porky hogging (no pun intended) the spotlight, saying "60 years of hogging the end title is enough". Daffy tries to say the end line, but like before, is stopped when the shield with Chuck Jones' credit comes out, hitting him in the face. He gets back up and weakly says "Fade out."

**Warner Home Video movie intro (1990):** The logo begins as usual (with Max Steiner's fanfare playing), until Bugs Bunny interrupts. He pops into the logo and tells the audience that the movie can't begin until you wish him a Happy Birthday. It then cuts to various Looney Tunes clips as a chorus sings "Happy Birthday to You". It then cuts back to Bugs looking rather satisfied. This appeared on an Italian VHS of *Caddyshack* and UK VHS releases from 1990, including *Driving Miss Daisy*, *Hard to Kill* and *The Witches*.

**Pure Country (1992):** The logo fades to a sunset background where the credits take place.

**Batman Forever (1995):** The shield transforms into the Batman logo.

**Twister (1996, US version):** The shield appears from the clouds, zooming in slowly. This is only on the US release, while international prints use the Universal Pictures logo.

**Batman & Robin (1997):** Same as *Batman Forever*, but the shield transforms into a frozen Batman logo.

**Conspiracy Theory (1997):** As part of the opening shot, the logo is shown. Then, the camera then pulls back to show it as a billboard on the side of a bus.

**Contact (1997):** The shield is in a dark crystal blue color, and the sky is in dark blue.

**Lethal Weapon 4 (1998):** The music is off sync with the logo. After the music is over, the shield explodes into a fireball, transitioning into the opening title sequence.

**You've Got Mail (1998):** The background fades into a computer screen and the shield becomes pixelated. It zooms out to reveal the rest of the computer screen and its icons. (If you notice, in the bottom right corner, there is an America Online icon, which is a coincidence; Time Warner would merge with AOL in 2001.)

**Jack Frost (1998):** The shield & text is covered with snow and ice. Also, the cloud background is tinted in dark red. When the animation finishes, it pans downwards.

**The Matrix (1999), The Matrix Reloaded (2003), and The Matrix Revolutions (2003):** The logo is tinted in green, with the sky background in black and white, and the graphics altered so they look "computerish".

**True Crime (1999):** The 1984 logo appears, as with all 1999-2014 Eastwood movies.

**The Big Tease (1999):** The logo animates as normal, however various noises associated with hairdressing, such as a hairdryer and the buzzing of a shaver, play over the music.

**House On Haunted Hill (1999):** The logo is tinted in dark gray to symbolize the film's theme.

**Deep Blue Sea (1999):** Before the logo is even faded completely, the background turns black while the shield turns into the 1984 shield tinted in blue, and water starts to appear as the logo ripples.

**The Exorcist Director's Cut (1973, 1990s reprint):** The entire 1992 WB logo is in black and white.

**Swordfish (2001):** The logo flickers as if it was on a problematic computer screen.

**Thir13en Ghosts (2001, USA):** The logo is tinted in light gray. This is only on the US release, while international prints use the Columbia Pictures logo.

**Ocean's Eleven (2001):** This and the following Village Roadshow logo are tinted in baby blue.

**Valentine (2001):** This and the following Village Roadshow logo are tinted in crimson. It is also the first film to use the 1999 logo with the AOL Time Warner byline.

**Harry Potter and the Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone (2001):**

**Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002):** The shield appears high in the clouds as the camera zooms through it.

**Scooby-Doo (2002):** The logo animates as normal, but the cloudy background is brighter and different. When a chunk of the shield disappears with a chomping sounds as if it were bit out, the music stops abruptly and we hear Scooby-Doo do his famous laugh, and then a zoom out has the shield turn into a Scooby-Doo dog collar with the initials "SD" on it. Underneath is a "A Mystery Inc. Company" byline.

**Queen of the Damned (2002):** The logo is black and white and the background is a dark cloudy sky.

**Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003):** Just the normal logo with the prototype byline but everything but the shield fades out and we see the shield zooming out on the red rings that immediately make you think "Looney Tunes." The title appears on the rings. Over this variation is the classic instrumental composition of "What's Up, Doc?" arranged and composed by Jerry Goldsmith.

**Flags of Our Fathers (2006):** The Warner Bros. logo is a rendition of the 1984 shield used on *Contact*, but in black and white. It is completely still. Strangely, this appears on Encore HD airings of *Superman: The Movie*, plastering the white "\\'" on black background (although the older logo is intact on SD airings).

**Unaccompanied Minors (2006):** We see a plane ticket fly by around the logo and through the shield. Then, a huge pile of snow falls on the shield, causing it to break in half. A bulldozer transitions to the Village Roadshow Pictures logo.

First, the logo starts with a blue LEGO baseplate background being pulled up from the bottom of the screen. Then, four LEGO clouds held by string drop down from above, followed by a brick-built version of the shield being pulled up by another piece of string with the "TimeWarner" byline printed on a long blue brick attached below it via yet another piece of string. After a few seconds, the shield flips around and reveals a LEGO version of the Warner Animation Group logo.

**San Andreas (2015)**: The NLC version is in green/yellow/gray upon the dark black blue background.

**Pan (2015)**: The shield is tinted in silver, and when the animation is halfway done, the daytime background fades to a starry sky, leaving the clouds.

**Kong: Skull Island (2017):** Over the cloudy sky, the stoney shield (With the inside in black) is shown with the black byline. The camera is zooming forward on them.

**Game Night (2018):** The logo represents a game pawn falling from the sky typically used in a board game with the TimeWarner byline etched in on the piece. It has the same background on Suicide Squad and other pieces from board games fall in the background: *Sorry!, Monopoly, Scrabble, etc.*

**The Meg (2018)**: The logo takes in the underwater background, with bubble effects.

**Smallfoot (2018):** After the shield is revealed, its animation speeds up a little and the byline fades in a little late, just like in the IMAX 3D version of the logo.

**Doctor Sleep (2019):** Same as *Blood Work* and *Gods & Generals*, but the AOL Time Warner byline is replaced by the WarnerMedia byline.

**Scoob! (2020):** It starts entirely normal, which makes the first appearance of the standard Warner Bros. logo on a Warner Animation Group film. After the shield flips right into the WAG logo for a few seconds, it pans down to California, where the film takes place.

**Tenet (2020):** The first film to use the 2020 logo. It's tinted in red.

**Tom and Jerry (2021):** The 2020 shield is in a different cloud background and doesn't fade to black. When the byline fades in (hard to see), the logo flips to the new Warner Animation Group logo and then it pans down (unlike the Scoob variant) to New York City to start the movie.

**Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021, HBO Max):** The logo is dark and in 4:3 aspect ratio. The "Justice is Gray" version of the film has the same variation, but in black and white.

**Godzilla vs Kong (2021):** The camera zooms out (tilted up) to reveal the 2019 shield with blue and yellow energy electrifying it as the 2020 byline fades in. This variation can also be seen in the trailer.

**Mortal Kombat (2021):** The first film to use the new WB-NLC logo. The 2019 shield is metallic against a black background with fire burning beneath it. The variant of the WB logo is the reference to Scorpion, one of the characters from the game where the film is based on. The shield also breaks into pieces after the byline fades out as it transitions and transforms into the New Line Cinema logo, which also freezes as it's formed. A snowfall occurs in the black, in which the NLC logo variant refers to Sub-Zero, who is also one of the characters from the game.

**The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021)**: Same as other Conjuring films, but it is stylized like the 2020/2021 WB/NLC logos. It also cuts into the Atomic Monster and The Safran Company logos instead of fading to black.

**Cry Macho (2021)**: The rippling image is removed, just leaving a black background (though it's still on the reflection). Then, the WB logo is in black and white and the black background is already in the logo.

**The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal Engine 5 Experience (2021, video game)**: Like the above variant, the rippling image is removed, just leaving a black background (though it's also still on the reflection), but the sky background is here. Then, the WB logo is in green, with the Matrix symbols flickering down it. Like in the previous films, the sky background is dark grey and the graphics appear altered so it looks "computerish".
