Warning: On a black background, we see a black square on the left, with the FBI logo in white with "FBI" in a somewhat different font, kind of skinny. On the right, we see a white box (with a rounded right side) with "WARNING" in red and generic warning text below "WARNING".
Variant: On 10, the warning screen fades to the Orion Pictures logo.
FX/SFX: None, unless the cut to the WCI/WHV logo.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: On all WCI/Warner Home Video releases from 1979-1981, such as Dirty Harry and All the President's Men. One of its last appearances was on the 1981 release of Love at First Bite.
2nd Warning (September 15, 1981-May 29, 2007)
Warning: On a black background, we see a black square on the left with the standard FBI logo in white, and the generic "$250,000" warning text, in the Univers Condensed font, in a white box on the right with the red word "WARNING", in Helvetica Bold Condensed, on the top.
Trivia: Unlike most other major and mini-major studios, Warner Home Video never used a Spanish version of this warning screen.
Variants:
On some tapes, a "shadow" effect on the "WARNING" text has been spotted.
On some tapes from 1981-1986, the whole thing was on a white background (Title 17, United States Code, Section 506 version)
There is another version in which the FBI seal was slightly larger and the right side of the white box was rounded. The first three DVD volumes of Charlie & Lola from 2006-2007 also use this version.
There is a smoother version that faded in and out intact, apparently from a character generator, with a bolder "FBI" lettering and cleaner text, on some tapes.
On Avalanche Express, the warning screen faded out.
Another version appears to be digitally generated, with thin, spaced-out "FBI" text.
There is another version similar to the 1982/1983 version, but the box is white and the WARNING text is bolder and redder. This can be seen on the 2006 BBC DVD Releases of Dombey and Son, David Copperfield, The Pickwick Papers, and some others.
There is also a version where the whole thing is on a blue background.
On the 1983 laserdisc of Risky Business, "WARNING" is in a wider font, and everything is in black, but "FBI", the seal, "WARNING" and the warning text (Title 17, United States Code, Section 506 version) is in white.
Shout! Factory DVD Releases also used this, except the FBI seal is colored.
On BWE Video releases, "FBI" is spaced out.
Chronicle Videocassettes has a taped version that shows "FBI" in a bolder font and the warning text ("$250,000" version) & header in a different font, and fades in and out.
Pioneer, Allied Artists Classics (which peels up all sides into the logo) & MPI Home Video, and Reel to Reel Ministries (which lack the FBI seal) use versions that have slightly different text arrangements and a color FBI seal.
FX/SFX: None, but this cuts right to the WHV (on 1981-1985 releases) or Embassy Home Entertainment (see below) logo.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability:
On all Warner Home Video releases from 1981-2004 and a few BBC releases after that, beginning with most releases from the September 1981 batch (including Tales of Terror). Also seen on some tapes released by Strand/VCI and the Video Collection, as well as certain Orion Home Video, Diamond Entertainment and even a few Magnum Entertainment releases (such as The Hills Have Eyes).
The "shadow" version was exclusive to Rhino Home Video releases.
The version with the white background can be found on Mean Streets, Superman II, The Enforcer, and Death Wish II, as well as other WHV titles on VHS and Beta from 1981-1986, a few from Embassy Home Entertainment (including the 1983 release of Carbon Copy), VCI Home Video (including Pinocchio with Sandy Duncan and Danny Kaye), and RKO Home Video. The white background variation can also be seen on some VHS re-releases such as the 1986 release of The Road Warrior.
The rounded right side version was intact on certain Orion Home Video releases and several Warner Reprise Video/Warner Music Vision releases, as well as Shapiro Glickenhaus Home Video releases by Southgate Entertainment.
The smoother version that faded in and out was sighted on Hemdale Home Video releases.
The digitally generated version is rare, and was only seen on DVDs released between October-December 2004, such as Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, A Home at the End of the World, A Cinderella Story, and the Volume 3 DVD set of Adult Swim's Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
The blue background version can be found on MTM Home Video releases and a few Random House Home Video releases.
The Shout! Factory version with a colored FBI Seal was on some Shout! Factory DVD releases. Some DVDs that used the “colored seal” warning include Sonic the Hedgehog: The Complete Series and The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3: The Complete Series.
This warning is also seen on VideoTec releases, such as the 1992 screener VHS of Tugs: Munitions & Pirates.
This also made a surprise appearance on the MGM/UA Home Video Laserdisc Sampler from 1990 and on the 1982 CBS/FOX Video CED release of Alien.
Despite the fact that this warning screen retired on VHS in October 12/November 16, 2004 and on DVD in December 7, 2004 when a new warning screen was introduced, a few BBC DVD releases distributed by Warner Home Video still used this warning screen concurrently until May 29, 2007, such as Middie March, Dombey and Son, David Copperfield, The Pickwick Papers, and the first three DVD volumes of Charlie & Lola.
Legacy: This warning screen is a favorite of many due to its atmosphere, and the font they use.

Warning: On a blue background, the following white text scrolls upward:

5th Warning (1982-)
Warning: On a blue background, white text scrolls upward. The text is in English and then French.

6th Warning (2000)
Warning: The bumper starts with a montage of scenes from Batman: The Animated Series, featuring Batman looking over Gotham City and springing into action. As Batman leaps down toward the viewer, his cape covers the screen and reveals a warning screen.

Music/Sounds: An excerpt of Shirley Walker's score for Batman: The Animated Series.

Warning: The bumper starts with a scene from Superman: The Animated Series, in which Superman flies above the city of Metropolis. After Superman flies into the camera, the scene cuts to a black screen with a red, fuzzy version of Superman's trademark "S"-shield slowly zooming in. Superimposed over the screen is the standard warning text in a digital-looking font, which appears as if a computer screen was being turned on.
FX/SFX: The warning text appearing, and the "S"-shield zooming in.
Music/Sounds: A shortened version of Shirley Walker's theme from Superman: The Animated Series.
Availability: Only known to appear on My Dog Skip.

Also seen on releases by a few other companies (often unrelated), including later releases by Bandai Entertainment and TimeWarner-owned New Line Home Entertainment. Despite normal releases retired this warning screen in December 15th 2009 when it was replaced by the 2007 Blu-ray warning screen, Cartoon Network releases still used this warning screen until 2012, and this is also still used on BBC releases today, despite the fact that the BBC now self-distributes its titles as of 2016. This also strangely still appears on some UK releases today such as the 2021 UK UHD release of A Perfect Planet.
9th Warning (December 20, 2005-)
Warning: On a black background is a blue/black gradient box with rounded edges, which has whitish-blue lines inside it.

Below that is "5 YEARS IN FEDERAL PRISON", in gold with a line below, and at the bottom, also in gold, is "FINES OF $250,000" with a line above it. Each is sandwiching a big red "WARNING".

FX/SFX: None.

Availability: First appears on UMD Releases such as Constantine and Batman released in 2005.

However, some releases, such as Saints: Road to XLIV used the 8th warning. This made a surprise appearance on the 2012 UK DVD of Pleasantville. Although it no longer appears on movie releases, it is still used on releases of television shows such as Adventure Time.
10th Warning (2012-2019)
Warning: Same as the 2012-present Sony Pictures Home Entertainment warning.
Variant: On a 2018 reissue of Secondhand Lions, both screens fade in and out.
