Picture Description
Warner Brothers (1923-1925)

Warner Bros. Classics of the screen.png

1923-1925 logo
Warner Brothers Pictures (1925–1929)

WB Logo 1923 logo.jpg

1925-1929 logo

On a black background, a large, bizarrely shaped shield is seen, with a very wide top. The top part of the shield shows a picture of the Warner Brothers studio in Burbank CA, the bottom having a squashed, stylized "WB". "A WARNER BROTHERS" is above the shield (with "WARNER BROTHERS" in an arc around the shield, ala the first Columbia logo), with "CLASSIC of the SCREEN" below. Starting in 1926 or so, it changed to "PRODUCTION".

Warner Bros. Pictures, Inc. (1929–1936)

Wb vitaphone logo 1931.jpg

1929-1936 logo

The words "WARNER BROS. PICTURES, Inc." appear, and below that "& THE VITAPHONE CORP." appears in a much smaller font, with the "VITAPHONE" using "electric" style letters. Below that is a very small WB shield (using the stylized WB seen in logo 1), and in script, "Present". Behind it there is the drawing of a flag, "waving" so it looks like it is in three sections. On the first one, "WARNER BROS." appears, followed by the electric-letter "VITAPHONE" logo and on section 3, "PICTURES".

Warner Bros. Pictures, Inc. (1934–1937)

Wbshield logo 1935 prototype.png

1935 logo

Over a cumulonimbus cloud setting, a superimposed WB Shield design zooms in to the screen. The words "WARNER BROS. PICTURES, Inc. Present" appear over the shield.

For the prototype version, the shield is shaped extremely bizarrely.

Warner Bros. Pictures, Inc. (1937–1948)

Wbpinc 1937 logo.png

1937-1948 logo

Inside a shield, a more realistic version of the stylized "WB" as seen in the previous logo appears. Over the shield is a banner that reads "WARNER BROS. PICTURES, INC." Below the logo is the word "Presents" in script.

Warner Bros. Pictures, Inc. (1948–1967)

Warner bros pictures b&W logo 1948.png

Black and White versions logo

Same as the previous logo, only the design has been cleaned up a bit. The border of the shield, banner, text, and "WB" are now colored gold, and the inside of the shield is now blue. The banner phrase is now changed to "WARNER BROS. PICTURES" and is now gold. "Presents", in the same font as the previous logo, usually appears below. Also, the background is now a cloud skyline. For the later years, this logo was usually superimposed onto the titles of Warner features of this period.

1953-1956 logo

On 3D films and some 2D films that were originally planned to be made in 3D, the WB shield looks more three-dimensional. It was also used for logo plastering on older films for re-releases.

Warner Bros.-Seven Arts (1967–1970)

High quality Warner Bros.-Seven Arts logo.jpg

1967-1970 logo

Just a superimposed, stylized shield which can be white, yellow or red. The shield features a combination of a "W" and a "7", representing Warner Bros.-Seven Arts. The "W7" is often drawn on-screen, a la the NBC Snake, although it's a still logo on a few films. Below the shield, "WARNER BROS.-SEVEN ARTS" is seen. The word "Presents" usually appears under the shield.

Warner Bros., Inc. A Kinney National Company (1970–1972)

Kinney-National-Company-logo.png

1970-1972 logo

Over a blue screen is an abstract shield in a golden color with a dark brownish color inside. A simple lettering of the WB appears at the upper part and a rectangle of the same colors appear at the lower part of the shield, with the Kinney byline inside. The word "PRESENTS" appears underneath the logo.

Warner Bros. (1972–1973)

Wb1972 warner communications.png

1972-1973 logo

Just the standard gold WB shield logo but without the banner, posed on a blue background with "A WARNER COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY" underneath. "Presents", in script, may appear below.

Warner Bros. (1973–1984)

Warner Bros 1972 On-Screen II.svg

Warner Bros 1972 On-Screen.svg

1973-1984 logo

Aganist a black background, a red abstract "W" consisting of two slanted elongated circles and a shorter elongated circle zooms in towards us. Around halfway through, the words "WARNER BROS" (in the Warner Communications custom typeface) appear below it. The red logo overtakes the screen as a smaller white "W" zooms in. It stops at the middle of the screen and a black square field, whose corners have been rounded and softened, fades in around the logo. "A WARNER COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY" in the same font used for "WARNER BROS" fades in below. Most of the time, "PRESENTS" fades in below after that.

Warner Bros. Pictures (1984–2001)

Warner bros 1984 logo.jpg

1984-1990 logo

Against the backdrop of clouds is the gold WB shield (both are in their same styles from the 1948 logo) with a gold banner around it with the words "WARNER BROS. PICTURES". Below it is a byline that reads "A WARNER COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY" between 1984 and 1990.

From 1990 until 1993, the byline reads "A TIME WARNER COMPANY", and from 1992 until 2001, the byline reads "A TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY".

On scope films, the backdrop of clouds is entirely different.

The 1984 logo appears, as with all post-1999 Eastwood movies.

Warner Bros Pictures A Time Warner Entertainment Company 75 Years.jpg

1998-1999 logo
A image of the Warner Bros. studios is seen in gold tint with some posters present on the studio wall such as Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Friends and Space Jam (the photograph was shot around late 1996) where it "ripples" before revealing to be reflected on the side of the WB shield with the banner reading "WARNER BROS. PICTURES" as it zooms out against the same backdrop of clouds (though the clouds are a little bit grey) and stops on it's position. "A TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY" fades in underneath. This logo was animated by Intralink Film Graphic Design.

For the logo's first year, to celebrate 75 years of Warner Bros., the shield zooms out to a more further position, "75" and "YEARS" appear from behind the shield and move away to surround it. "Entertaining The World" fades in underneath followed by the Time Warner Entertainment byline in white instead of gold and in a different typeface. Also, the background is slightly enhanced, and the shield has a slightly different lighting. There is also a rare variant for this logo's first year, where the banner only reads "WARNER BROS." instead of "WARNER BROS. PICTURES".

From 2001 to 2003, the byline changed to "An AOL Time Warner Company". Then from 2003 until 2018, it was changed to "A TimeWarner Company" (though for a short time in 2003 until early 2004, it had the prototype byline) and from 2018 onward, it has "A WarnerMedia Company".

Starting with Dolphin Tale, the logo was redone with the shield being sleeker, the banner being shinier, the byline being changed from gold to orange-yellow, and the animation of the shield being revealed is enhanced.

2021–present logo
It starts off similar to the previous logo, but this time the Warner Bros. studios backlot is redone in photorealistic CGI at sunset (similar to the Searchlight Pictures logo), with the iconic water tower (displaying the new WB shield and reads "WARNER BROS. STUDIOS" in three rows on it and in the new corporate font called Warner Bros. Sans) taking centre-stage and is revealed to be reflected on the side of the brand new WB shield without the "ripple" and without the banner (the border of the shield and "WB" are now colored silver) as it zooms out against the brand new realistic backdrop of clouds (also redone in CGI) and stops on it's position. "A WarnerMedia Company" fades in underneath and the shield shines.

There is a prototype variant where it starts with the same image of the Warner Bros. studios from the previous logo, before revealing to be reflected on the side of the new WB shield and zooms out against the same backdrop of clouds from the previous logo before the background fades to black and "A WarnerMedia Company" fades in underneath and the shield shines.

Sesame Street Presents Follow That Bird (1985)
At the beginning of the former (After the opening song segment), 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." At the end of the former, the closing in-credit logo is yellow. This also appears on the latter title, with John Williams' Superman theme playing over it.

Wb logo one crazy summer variant A.jpg

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.

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."

After the logo is formed, everything except the shield fades to a a grainy light blue background where the shield becomes pixelated before it zooms out, revealing to be one of the computer icons in the computer home screen (with one of them being the American Online icon, which is a coincidence because Time Warner would merge with AOL in 2001). The logo has the music replaced with computer sounds, such as a photocopier and scanner, which were deliberately made to sync up to the logo's animation.

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.

In Argo, it's exactly the same as the Magic Mike variant, but a bit darker. In The Nice Guys, it's exactly the same as the Magic Mike and Argo variants. And in Joker, the same logo is used, but with design alternations and fades in text "Warner Bros. Pictures" below the logo in addition to "A WarnerMedia Company" text below it.

The shield from "The Young Philadelphians" is in a red color. Also, the logo is seen drawing by itself and the TimeWarner byline fades in below. Then, a red rectangle takes it off and creates the RatPac Entertainment logo.

The studio backlot is slightly different, as the logo is grayscaled. During the rotation, the WB shield on the backlot lights up (similar to a neon sign). As the shield turns, it takes place in a different moving sky backdrop. But, the logo then glitches as the rest of the logo takes place in the lighted up background with the byline already there. The logo then glitches out.

The logo starts off aqua blue and when it zooms out, the logo is aqua blue underwater and half of it is wedged in a rock. The company's name can still be seen. The byline is also aqua blue. The camera zooms past the logo and transitions to the DC logo.

The logo's background turns windy and the shield freezes solid. The shield then shatters to reveal the Warner Animation Group shield. The shield appears on a snowy background. The WarnerMedia byline is dark blue.

1993-2000 logo

Against the classic backdrop of clouds, the WB shield is posed with the banner reading "FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT" instead of "WARNER BROS. PICTURES". The byline "A TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY" fades in under the logo and Bugs Bunny dressed in a tuxedo steps to the left from under the shield, does a Vanna White-like pose, and puts his hand on the banner as he leans, brandishes a carrot and takes a bite on it as the banner shines.

There is also a variant on some movies such as Dennis the Menace, Free Willy, The Nutcracker, Thumbelina and A Troll in Central Park, where the shield has no banner at first (similar to the 1972 Warner Bros. Pictures logo), then Bugs leans over and places a hoop-like wordless banner on the shield and spins it around. Then the byline fades in and the ribbon stops, revealing the inscribed words above. Also, the shield is a bit smaller.

(1998-2009)

WARNER BROS. FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT 75 YEARS 1998 WIDESCREEN LOGO.png

1998-1999 logo

Nearly the same as the 1998-2021 Warner Bros. Pictures logo, the only differences are that the shield banner reads "FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT" instead of "WARNER BROS. PICTURES", and Bugs steps to the left from under the shield, doing the same pose and animation from the previous logo. The byline fades in below.

During Warner Bros.' 75th Anniversary, the logo uses the "75 YEARS" variant from the Warner Bros. Pictures logo, but the differences are the background being darker, the shield along with the text is darkened to a brown-gold color and the animation of Bugs Bunny is added. This was only seen on Quest for Camelot, A Rat's Tale, Dennis the Menace Strikes Again! and the trailer for The King and I.

Until 2001, "A TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY" byline is used before it is replaced by "An AOL Time Warner Company" and then in 2004 "A Time Warner Company". Other times from 2003 until 2008, the logo is byline-less.

Prototype (1998-1999)

The WB shield without the banner (similar to the 1972 Warner Bros. Pictures logo) zooms through the red Looney Tunes rings as the banner fades in over the shield reading "FEATURE ANIMATION" instead of "WARNER BROS. PICTURES". The shield then stops in its place as "A TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY" byline fades in, then the rings fade out one-by-one when the WB shield turns dark and fade out.

On the pan-and-scan version of the film, the logo has an open-matte version.

On a crew reel as well as the Brad Bird voice over on a trailer, a prototype version of the logo is used.

This was only seen on The Iron Giant since the film was originally going to use the Family Entertainment logo, but director Brad Bird was against this, and the custom variant of the logo was used in the film.
