Gotham City Impostors (2012): The logo is made of yellow oil paint and is put on the same black background as the Warner Bros. Games logo preceding it. The Batman-dressed cartoon character (which is holding a pair of guns and is shooting them) from that logo runs underneath it.

Sixth Logo

Aquaman (2018): The logo appears underwater.
Shazam! (2019): The logo is red against a stormy night background, like the Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema logos before it, and doesn't have the Justice League montage, due to director David Sandberg actually forgetting about it. The camera then pans down from the logo.

In both versions, after the logo ends, Doomsday's lightning bolts strike behind the logo, causing it to be revealed again (albeit as a silhouette), and a piece of rock obscures the logo from view after a few seconds.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023): The logo plays normally, but at the end, it is revealed to be made out of earth/rock just like the preceding WBP and NLC logos.
The Flash (2023): The Justice League montage is absent once again; instead, the bolt of lightning continues from the Warner Bros. Pictures logo and travels through three older DC logos and the current logo (in order: the 1940 logo, the 1977 logo, the 2005 logo and the 2016 logo itself) within the red vortex, all golden in color; the logo then zooms out from a wall clock. Of note is that the 1940 DC logo makes its first appearance in a theatrical DC movie, but its design is slightly altered: here, "A SUPERMAN PUBLICATION" (which was used from 1942 to 1949) is not present on the circle. Like the Warner Bros. logo, this logo was designed by Picturemill.
Blue Beetle (2023): The Justice League montage is absent once more; the logo appears in the form of an energy construct from the Scarab, and appears in space. This was again designed by Picturemill.
