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 launched in 2014 as a separate entity, though it serves as a spiritual successor to Warner Bros. Digital Distribution and Warner Bros. Studio 2.0.

1st Logo (2014-July 18, 2018)

Now We’re Talking variant
Ellen's Pet Dish variant
Vixen, Vixen: The Movie and Freedom Fighters: The Ray variant
JoJoHead variant

Logo: On an 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 1940s and 1950s.

Variants: This logo varies in colors depending on the show.

Play It Again, Dick: Orange background and blue ribbon.
Now We're Talking: Red background and blue and black ribbon.
Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicles: Red background and blue and red colored ribbon.
Ellen's Pet Dish: Blue background and yellow ribbon.
JoJoHead: Orange background and cyan and red ribbon.
On Vixen, Vixen: The Movie, and Freedom Fighters: The Ray, TBA.

Technique: Simple computer animation.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on the first season of Now We're Talking, Play It Again, Dick, Vixen, Freedom Fighters: The Ray, JoJoHead, Vixen: The Movie, the Machinima series Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicles, and Ellen's Pet Dish on the TheEllenShow YouTube channel.

2nd Logo (July 17, 2017-2019)

Regular variant
Zoomed-in variant
Constantine: City of Demons variant

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.

Variants:

On Daphne & Velma, the logo is zoomed in.
On Constantine: City of Demons, TBA.

Technique: Stop-motion animation.

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

Availability: First seen on Play With Caution on Disney XD's short-lived D|XP block. Also seen on the second season of Now We're Talking, Daphne & Velma, Constantine: City of Demons, Good Girls Get High and Best Shot.

3rd Logo (March 21, 2019-)

Regular variant
Short variant
Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons variant

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 on 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 it. A meteor is flying by Earth with a satellite orbiting around it.
A wave of color lines that form the ribbon logo, which is colored blue and gold and has a (barely visible) WarnerMedia byline on it in white.

Variants:

A more common slightly shorter variant exists, which lacks the final scene.
A short variant uses just a few of the scenes. What scenes appear depends on the show: on Critters: A New Binge, it goes like spaghetti monster, volcano, monster, and Earth.
On Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons, only the mountains/pyramids scene is shown.

Technique: Claymation done by Chris McDonnell at McD Workshop, with additional work by Peter Girardi from Blue Ribbon Content.

Music/Sounds: A funky drum-driven piece with a blender at the end, or the closing theme of the show.

Availability: Current.

The full version was uploaded to McD Workshop's website and YouTube channel and is yet to be used on any of BRC's output.
So far, the shorter version has seen more use. It was first seen at the end of Critters: A New Binge on Shudder, and has since been 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.
