Logo (March 14, 2017-)
.png)
Visuals: A recreation of the third Warner Home Video logo; the text is replaced with "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" and different assets are used for the shield and sky backdrop.
Variants:
- An alternate version exists. In this version, the shield is smaller.
- An in-credit variant also exists, which is seen on episodes of C.B. Strike.
Technique: CGI and live action.
Audio: The theme from the NTSC AOL Time Warner variant of the 1996 WHV logo, with slightly more reverb. PAL releases use the regular pitch.
Availability: It was first spotted on the DVD release of The Jetsons & WWE: Robo-WrestleMania! and the Blu-ray release of Collateral Beauty, both of which were released on the same date, and is seen on newer home media releases from the company.
- This logo does not appear on any Viz Media or Sesame Workshop releases. It does, however, appear on a Japanese trailer for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean, likely because it was already a Warner Bros. property.
- This logo is still being used (one recent example being the DVD release of Dexter's Laboratory: The Complete Series, released on June 25, 2024), despite Warner Bros. updating their logos in 2021 and 2023, respectively. This logo has yet to be updated, even though it could happen in the coming months in 2024 or 2025. If it ends up being updated, it may not be a new version of the Warner Bros. Home Entertainment logo which features the new shield, rather it would more likely be the open matte version of the 2023-present Warner Bros. Pictures logo as a de-facto logo for Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.
- It also does not appear on any Pathé releases in the UK, instead just featuring their logo as a de-facto home video logo. This also applies when Fox distributed their releases.
- This logo also does not show up on any newer DVD and Blu-ray releases of recent MGM films, with those releases going straight to the menu when the disc starts. It also does not appear on direct reissues of pre-WBPH DVD releases of MGM and UA films such as the 2020 reissue of the 2001 UK DVD release of Some Like It Hot, which instead reuse older disc masters that retain the 1998 and 2003 MGM DVD logos.
- The print logo is seen on the back cover of Wild Side Vidéo titles in France as of 2022 (notably found on the Studio Ghibli reissues released by the two companies).
- This logo was also seen at the end of an August 19, 2023 UK airing of the C.B. Strike episode "Lethal White: Part 3" on UKTV Drama.
Legacy: Many consider this logo's animation to be of lower quality than the 1996 Warner Home Video logo; when this logo debuted, some thought it was a fan-made project rather than an official logo.
