New Line Cinema/Logo Variations

Main Logo Variations

These are the logo variations seen throughout the years by New Line Cinema, with more to be added overtime.

My Demon Lover (1987): The earlier variant of the 1987 logo has a grayish-pink glow.

The Blade Trilogy:

Blade (1998) and Blade II (2002): The logo is tinted in red. The first movie used the earlier TimeWarner byline while the second used the AOL Time Warner Byline.
Blade: Trinity (2004): The logo starts off normal but then turns red at the end, with the byline retaining its white color.

Detroit Rock City (1999): The music is a rock version of the normal fanfare.

Boiler Room (2000): Pictures of the Founding Fathers of the United States are seen within the logo.

The Final Destination series:

Final Destination (2000): The logo is gray and moves differently.
Final Destination 3 (2006): The logo changes color and blurs out, segueing into the opening credits.
The Final Destination (2009): The filmstrips, text, and byline zoom by, as with Journey to the Center of the Earth, except without the rumbling.

15 Minutes (2001): After the logo finishes animating, the camera zooms in to the logo's glow, which changes into blue lines, transitioning into the opening scene of the film.

Run Ronnie Run (2003): Appears after the opening sequence to the film, the logo is in the form of a cartoon drawing. After the logo completes, it fades to the normal logo.

Elf (2003): The logo starts off as usual (with the 1995-2000 Time Warner byline), but when it reaches its usual position, snowflakes start to fall in the foreground and jingle bell sounds are heard at the end of the logo too.

Freddy Vs. Jason (2003): The logo is tinted in red again.

Cellular (2004): The logo is tinted in denim blue and zooms back.

Shoot 'Em Up (2007): No holes are seen on the filmstrips at the beginning of the logo, then at the end, the filmstrips are shot at to form the holes.

The Golden Compass (2007): The logo is in a tan color.

Inkheart (2008): When the logo's animation finishes, a few of the sparks fly around the logo.

Journey to the Center of the Earth:

Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008): The filmstrips, text, and byline zoom. Suddenly, the logo rumbles.

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (2012): The logo is flax, and the background is in a brown tint.

Friday the 13th (2009): Same as Blade: Trinity, but the logo stays red the whole time.

The Time Traveler's Wife (2009): The logo has blue circles and blurs out.

Sex and the City 2 (2010): The logo is constructed of rhinestones as it flips onto a white background and glistens to the theme song of the show.

A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas (2011): The logo has snow falling and is wrapped in gift wrap once the logo is formed. The text and TimeWarner byline turn white.

Rock of Ages (2012): The logo is metallic and takes place in a night sky as multicolored searchlights surround the logo, just like the Warner Bros. Pictures logo. Also, when the logo is finished, it pans down to the clouds to start the movie.

The Conjuring Universe:

The Conjuring (2013), The Conjuring 2 (2016) and Annabelle: Creation (2017): The logo is in green/grey, and is set upon a night background. This was made by Filmograph.

The Nun (2018), The Curse of La Llorona and Annabelle Comes Home (both 2019): Same as the previous three films, but with the WarnerMedia byline instead and the entire logo has a more greenish color to it. However, on The Curse of La Llorona, once the NLC logo is done, we then pan down into the clouds to segue into the Atomic Monster logo. It's also worth noting that The Nun was the first film to have the WarnerMedia byline in the 2011 logo.

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021): The logo has a dark-green tint on a night sky, just like the previous Conjuring films; the visual effects in the 2021 logo are left intact.

Lego The Hobbit (2014, Video Game): The print logo is superimposed on Smaug's lair.

San Andreas (2015): The logo is placed deep underwater and is tinted silver and the words "New Line Cinema" scramble into place as the logo is formed.

The Gallows (2015): The logo is tinted in blood red.

Andy Muschietti's It film series:

It (2017): The WB version of the NLC logo is sepia-toned and has a projector-like effect on it. It also starts to rain as it forms, and a red balloon can be seen in the distance.
It: Chapter Two (2019): The logo is grungy and on a black background while the Deadlights float around. Just like the regular version, this was made by Picturemill.

Rampage (2018): The WB version of the NLC logo breaks apart like video-game pixelated debris to form the New Line Cinema logo in white.

Game Night (2018): On the same background as the preceding WBP variant, the logo is tinted in purple and is falling. It has the usual text below with the logo in a Scrabble piece.

Shazam! (2019): The logo is red against a stormy night background, and pans up like the Warner Bros. and DC logos.

Shaft (2019): The print logo (in black) is on a film projector reel, and slowly zooms in. A few seconds later, the reel shakes and the WarnerMedia byline appears. The music is "Love Over and Love Again" by Switch.

The Kitchen (2019): The 1967 logo is used, albeit with the WarnerMedia byline placed in on the bottom right.

Mortal Kombat (2021): This is the first film preceded the 2021 WB logo and to use the logo with 2019 WarnerMedia byline. The logo is tinted in silver, covered in ice and set in a cold moonlit cloudscape, with snow swirling around the logo. This variation is referring to Sub-Zero, one of the characters of Mortal Kombat. Just like the regular version, this was made by Devastudios. A version without the fade in and fade out effects, as well as the sound effects, can be shown on Devastudios' website.
