Background

Blue Ribbon Content is the digital series production unit of Warner Bros. Television that produces and distributes live-action and animated programming for online platforms. It was created in 2005 as "Warner Bros. Digital Distribution" and initially developed mobile games based on Warner Bros. properties until 2013. Between 2009-2013, the company also served as a subsidiary of Warner Premiere and started production of webseries. The BRC brand itself was launched in 2014.

• 
• 
•

Warner Premiere Digital

(2009-2013)

The logo is intact on DVDs of those shows. Strangely, even after Warner Premiere went defunct in 2012, some shows continued to use this logo.

Editor's Note: None.

Warner Bros. Digital Distribution (second era)

(2011-2013)

• 
• 

Logo: On a black background, thin light streaks create an electric blue WB shield with "DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION" in black, which wipes on the banner from the left, as the background changes to a dark blue grid pattern. The finished product shines once.

Variant: A sped-up version is shown on Mortal Kombat Legacy II. A still version was also found.

FX/SFX: The light streaks forming the shield.

Music/Sounds: A series of electronic swooshes.

Blue Ribbon Content

1st Logo (2014-2017)

• 
• 
• 

Nickname: "The Blue Ribbon"

Logo: On a orange background, we see a blue colored ribbon. "BLUE RIBBON Content" and the TimeWarner byline is in it. A number date appears in the bottom right corner as well.

Trivia: The name and logo are a reference to the "Blue Ribbon" re-releases of older Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons during the 1950s.

Variants: This logo varies in colors depending on the show; it can be either blue or yellow.

FX/SFX: Just the logo slowly zooming in.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on the first season of Now We're Talking on Go90, Play It Again, Dick on CW Seed, Vixen on CW Seed, and Ellen's Pet Dish on the Ellentube YouTube channel.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (2017-2019)

• 
• 
• 
• 

Notice: this template has been replaced by {{Guidance}} and {{Guidance detail}}

Nickname: "The Blue Ribbon II"

Logo: On a concrete background, the same logo from before can be seen, but it appears to be a piece of paper. It constantly flashes between different color combinations, with subtle changes in lighting, camera positioning, and also the paper being damaged and repaired in a few shots.

FX/SFX: The logo flashing.

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

Availability: Seen on Vixen: The Movie, Constantine: City of Demons, Play With Caution on Disney XD's short-lived D|XP block, the second season of Now We're Talking on Go90, Daphne & Velma, and Best Shot on YouTube Premium.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (March 21, 2019-)

Nicknames: "The Blue Ribbon III", "Pony Canyon's Younger Brother"

Logo: We see the words "BLUE RIBBON Content" against multiple claymation scenes including:

• What appears to be a spaghetti monster with the logo forming in the middle.
• A series of triangular mountains/pyramids, one with the all-seeing eye on it and the logo in the middle.
• A red deserted island with dancing palm trees and a pair of sunglasses on the ground. The logo appears in the middle of the sun.
• A high stacked burger with the logo appearing in the middle as containers of mustard and ketchup appear either side and squirt briefly.
• The summit of an active volcano with the logo inside the crater.
• The face of a monster whose mouth opens to reveal the logo.
• A cartoonish version of Earth with the logo on the earth, a la Universal.

Variants:

• A short variant uses just a few of the scenes. What scenes appear depends on the show.
• An even shorter variant uses only one scene. Only the mountains/pyramids scene is known to have been used this way.

FX/SFX: Everything, done with claymation.

Music/Sounds: A funky drum-driven piece or the closing theme of the show.

Availability: Current. First seen at the end of Critters: A New Binge on Shudder. Also seen on The Banana Splits Movie, Critters Attack!, the end of A Cinderella Story: Christmas Wish (the Warner Bros. Home Entertainment logo appears at the beginning), Toys of Terror, and Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons.

Editor's Note: The weirdness of the scenes may surprise a few, but it's a cool concept nevertheless. It is also reminiscent to the 1988 Pony Canyon logo, hence the nickname.
