---

Blazing Saddles (1974):

• After the 1973 logo plays, the 1948 WB shield appears, only for the screen to be engulfed by flames that give way to a shot of a desert with the text "A MEL BROOKS FILM", segueing into the opening credits. On some current prints, the respective variant is retained, but is preceded by the 1999 Warner Bros. Pictures logo with the AOL Time Warner byline. Pan and scan prints from the mid-'80s to the mid-'90s used a different engulfing effect, but the transition pattern remains the same.

•

The Main Event (1979):

• The logo is on a purple background.

---

Time After Time (1979):

---

Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales (1982):

• The 1973 logo plays as normal, but then the WB logo and the background from the 1936 Merrie Melodies cartoon intro zoom in, segueing into the opening credits.

---

Gremlins (1984) and Innerspace (1987):

• A lusher, re-orchestrated version of the 1930s/40s Max Steiner fanfare is heard, composed by Jerry Goldsmith.

Current prints of the latter plaster the Warner Communications version of the logo, but retain that logo's fanfare.

---

Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird (1985):

• Instead of the regular logo, the movie opens with Oscar the Grouch singing the "Grouch Anthem" in a spoof of Patton. Afterwards, we get a brief animated segment where Big Bird finds an air pump and a balloon. He inflates it and it turns out to be a "W", which pops off and flies into the sky, where it morphs into the "W" in the "WB" shield as the rest of the shield forms around it. Big Bird (voiced by Caroll Spinney) announces that "Sesame Street is brought to you today by the letters W and B." This was done by The Animation House Limited. This logo makes an appearance on the TV movie Here's Looking at You, Warner Bros., where John Williams' theme from Superman (1978) is heard.

• The "Distributed by" variant of the 1985 print logo, colored in rainbow, scrolls up with the credits.

---

One Crazy Summer (1986):

• The 1984 logo appears as normal but then turns into a crudely drawn version with wiggling clouds. The Warner Communications byline and clouds dissipate as an evil-looking animated pink bunny, who wears a red-white striped helicopter cap (like the one seen in the movie's animated segments) and has the picture of a No Rhino sign on his body, opens the WB shield from inside. He laughs and the camera zooms into his mouth, and the "ONE CRAZY SUMMER" title zooms in towards the camera.

• 
• 
• 

---

Who’s That Girl? (1987):

• The logo with byline appears as animated on a granite background. The screen zooms up to the logo, the shield opens like a door, and out comes a cartoon Madonna, who closes the shield and poses for the camera. The logo goes up and she moves down to make way for the opening credits.

• 
• 

---

Daffy Duck's Quackbusters (1988):

• The 1984 logo starts with only the sky background, but then the shield zooms in as it would on Looney Tunes / Merrie Melodies shorts, stopping at its usual place as the Warner Communications byline fades in below. An arrangement of You Oughta Be in Pictures (composed by Carl Stalling), starting with a roaring sound as the shield zooms in, plays throughout. This comes directly after the Daffy Duck short Night of the Living Duck, which opens the film.

• 
• 

---

Batman film series:

• Batman (1989): The shield is a bit more orange in color than usual and the sky is dark blue. The Warner Communications byline is also in a different font.

---

Lambada (1990):

• The logo has a golden hue.

---

Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990):

• Instead of the normal shield logo, a replica of the 1936-1964 WB cartoon logo is shown, with its text and minus the shield ("PICTURES, INC." is removed in favor of "A TIME WARNER COMPANY"). The shield then zooms up with Bugs Bunny (voiced by Jeff Bergman) riding it, and the text fades out. Daffy Duck (also voiced by Bergman) then comes on screen, angrily pulls him off the shield ("50 years of you hogging the spotlight is ENOUGH!"), and tries to ride it... well, it doesn't work as well for him. They also have another Looney Tunes-style ending, with Porky saying his usual "That's all Folks!" line before being pulled down (and Daffy is heard saying "60 years of hogging the end title is enough!"). Daffy comes out and says the end line, but the shield (with Chuck Jones' credit on it) appears and hits him, causing him to fall. He pokes his head out from behind the shield and weakly says "Fade out."

---

Pure Country (1992):

---

• On HD prints of this film, the logo is zoomed out further than usual, revealing more of the clouds.

---

Tarzan and the Lost City (1998):

• The tail end of the original 75th Anniversary fanfare continues into the 1992 Village Roadshow Pictures logo, and then segues into the opening theme.

---

Lethal Weapon 4 (1998):

• The 75 Years logo animates normally before exploding, segueing into the opening titles. The 1998 75 Years theme is also off sync. On most later prints, the scope version of the full standard version of the 2003 revision of the 1999 version of the logo plays before jarringly cutting to the explosion (which is a part of the main titles), with the 1998 logo still partially visible for a brief moment. Many consider it to be one of the roughest logo plasters of all time, next to non-US prints of "Street Fighter" (1994).

Original

Plastered version

---

Wrongfully Accused (1998):

• The 1998 75 Years theme is out-of-sync.

---

Jack Frost (1998):

• The shield is covered with snow and ice, as is the text that surrounds it. Also, the cloud background is tinted dark red, and after the logo finishes its animation, the camera pans down from it to the opening scene. Like the normal logo, this was done by Intralink Film Graphic Design.

---

You've Got Mail (1998):

• This was the last movie to have the original 1998 logo in the company's 75th anniversary. The logo plays normally with sounds of computers and fax machines playing over it. After it finishes, the background fades to a static computer wallpaper, leaving the shield (which becomes pixelated) with the text "WARNER BROS. PRESENTS" below it. Then it zooms out to show a computer desktop, segueing into the opening credits, and the WB logo moves to the upper-left corner. (If you notice, in the bottom right corner, there is an America Online icon, whom Time Warner would coincidentally merge to become AOL Time Warner with in 2001.)

---

The Matrix film series:

• The Matrix (1999), The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions (both 2003): The colors have been changed to a green tint and the graphics altered so they look "digitized".

• • For The Matrix Reloaded, the AOL Time Warner byline replaces the Time Warner Entertainment byline.

• • • For The Matrix Revolutions, the prototype Time Warner byline replaces the AOL Time Warner byline. This was the first film to use the prototype Time Warner byline.

• The Matrix Resurrections and The Matrix Awakens (Unreal Engine Tech Demo, both 2021): The 2021 logo starts off normally. When the shield is revealed, the colors turn into a green tint with the graphics altered to look "digitized". Also, the matrix code is seen raining down on the WB part.

• 

• • For The Matrix Awakens, the colors are saturated, and the studio lot is removed leaving a black background, but the sky background is there; similar to the Cry Macho variant.

• 

---

The Big Tease (1999):

• The logo animates as normal, but various sounds such as a hairdryer and the buzzing of a shaver play over the music.

---

House on Haunted Hill (1999):

• The logo is tinted in dark gray.

---

Various Australian videos (1999):

• This was at the start of a commercial for the Australian theme park, Warner Bros Movie World (co-owned by Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow). The ad was designed like a movie trailer. At the start of the trailer, the shield is more golden and metallic and is placed on a more realistic cloud background. The text on the banner omits the word "PICTURES" and the byline is changed to "A WARNER VILLAGE EXPERIENCE". This ad can be found on various Warner Bros. and Roadshow Entertainment videos.

---

Deep Blue Sea (1999):

• After the 1999 logo finishes, the background fades out, it turns into a blue version of the 1984 logo, and water effects appear over the logo. TBS and TNT airings of this movie use a shortened version of this variant, starting with just the 1984 logo with the water effects.

---

South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999, Non-US version):

• The 1999 logo is a bit darker and fades to black before fading in to the opening scene after it finishes. This variant from the Paramount Pictures logo is there. On 4:3 prints, the logo is open matte.

---

The Exorcist film series:

• The Exorcist Director's Cut (1973, 1990s reprint): The 1984 logo with the Time Warner Entertainment byline is in black and white.

---

Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport (2000):

• The logo is already formed and in black and white.

---

Swordfish (2001):

• The logo flickers as if it was on a malfunctioning computer screen, and the graphics are altered so it looks like it's on an old TV.

---

Thir13en Ghosts (2001):

• The logo is tinted in light gray, and doesn't start early (due to the Columbia Pictures logo appearing on international prints, to keep in sync with the opening theme).

---

Osmosis Jones (2001):

• The logo comes up looking like an amoeba with tentacles.

---

Ocean's Eleven remake film series:

• Ocean's Eleven (2001): The logos for Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow are tinted in baby blue.

• Ocean's Twelve (2004): The 1948 logo is used with the TimeWarner byline, but in black and white with the background replaced with a multicolored one.

• Ocean's Thirteen (2007): A combination from the previous Ocean films: The logos are light-blue colored and also animated, the background is multicolored, green and red vertical/horizontal bars, start to appear over the logos and a very nice piece of music ("The Riviera Affair" by Neil Richardson) is heard during all this. The animation was inspired by the opening titles to the 1975 television series Switch as well as WOR-TV's The Four O'Clock Movie, of which the opening music was initially utilized.

---

• It looks similar to the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 variant, but the cloud background has been replaced by a city street and the shield is shaped differently, with the text on the banner being smaller, and the border and "WB" taking the shape of the bannerless print logo. When the camera zooms in, the banner lowers and the "WB" letters open like a door to reveal the Grimm Pictures logo, which is on a temple door.

---

---

Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood introduction video (2017):

• In the normal version, transitioning from an archival scene from Casablanca, with the song "As Time Goes By" by Sam (played by Dooley Wilson) playing, which then transitions to the 1999 fanfare as soon as Sam sings the phrase "The fundamental things apply...", the logo starts off black and white then becomes desaturated to color, while the New Line Cinema version, transitioning from an archival scene from Man of Steel, it transitions to an archival scene from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. "PICTURES" is also replaced by "STUDIOS" in both the normal version and the New Line Cinema version. It was later updated in 2019, which replaces the TimeWarner byline with the WarnerMedia byline, but the byline doesn't shine in the New Line Cinema version (the byline used in the 2018 Warner Bros. Pictures logo is used instead), then in 2021, replacing the Warner Bros. Studios logo with the 2021 logo, while retaining the 1999 fanfare instead of replacing it with the 2021 fanfare, with various changes, such as the aspect ratio now in 16:9 (1.78:1) instead of 21:9 (2.35:1), while the animation of the New Line Cinema version is slower to fit the video's length. Furthermore, during a scene where Ellen DeGeneres is standing on the studio's water tower, the 1990 Warner Bros. Studios print logo was replaced with the dimensional version of the 2019 Warner Bros. logo and the stacked words "WARNER BROS. STUDIOS" was changed to the Warner Bros. Sans font (replacing the serif font), in order to match its real life counterpart from 2019 to 2022 (despite the sideways of the print logo and the stacked wordmark are changed apart in the same counterpart, whereas the front shield is next to Gate 4 of the studio and the stacked wordmark is given two from left to right of the tower, instead of being one).

The MonsterVerse:

• Kong: Skull Island (2017): Over a misty sky, the Warner Bros. logo, which is made out of metal, zooms in towards the camera. Gunshots are heard, and the camera rushes past it as the shield leans back, going into the following Legendary Pictures and Tencent Pictures logo variations. This variant was done by yU+co.

• Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019): The logo is made of stone and is on a stone wall which features ancient drawings/etchings of the film's monsters. During its appearance, a stomping sound is heard and the logo shakes. Technical flickers are briefly seen while this happens. This was done by yU+co.

• Godzilla vs. Kong (2021): The 1998 logo is used, and is made out of wood. It is placed on a wall with a drawing of Kong, with some blue-red energy running through it, and the 2019 WarnerMedia byline appears late. Like the previous film's variation, this was done by yU+co. On yU+co's website, it is in open-matte, using the IMAX print, and cuts in and out instead of fading in and out.

• 
  Normal version

• It Chapter Two (2019): The logo is grungy and set in darkness, with the Deadlights floating around to reveal it. There is an error in this variant, where unlike the normal logo, the parts of the banner behind the shield clip through the shield's interior and the letters as it breaks apart.

---

Blade Runner 2049 (2017; US release):

• The studio backlot is slightly different, as the logo is grayscale. During the rotation, the backlot switches to a near-futuristic version in the year 2049 at night as the WB shield at Stage 16 lights up and the word "STAGE 2" is shown. As the shield turns, it is shown to be on a different, faster sky background. It glitches briefly and as it does so, the background changes to a dark one with a glowing light, with the Time Warner byline already underneath the shield. The logo then glitches out.

• For the prototype version, the logo is digital red, with the inside of the shield consisting of static, and the Time Warner byline fades in letter-by-letter. After it finishes, the logo turns off, leaving only part of the shield visible.

---

Game Night (2018):

Jim Button films:

• Jim Button and Luke the Engine Driver (2018, Germany): The studio lot is replaced with a hill with a castle and a house on it, and when the shield zooms out, it is revealed to be on a different sky background. The camera then pans down from the logo to reveal the Malao Film logo.

• Jim Button and the Wild 13 (2020, Germany): Similar to the previous film, but the picture is different, the shield is silver and doesn't have its interior, and it is put upon a dark sky background. Also, the 2018 WarnerMedia byline replaces the Time Warner byline, and it pans down to the Rat Pack Filmproduktion logo instead.

---

Ready Player One (2018):

• The logo is sped up.

---

The shield retains its shape from the Age of Shadows and A Single Rider variants, and the banner is transparent.

---

The Meg films:

• The Meg (2018): The logo is tinted in aqua blue. It is placed deep underwater with bubble effects, and ripples slightly.

• On the Chinese release, the TimeWarner byline replaces the WarnerMedia byline.

• Meg 2: The Trench (2023): The logo is cropped slightly, along with the CMC Pictures and DF Pictures logos. This was only seen on home media prints; theatrical prints use the normal logo instead.

---

Smallfoot (2018):

• The logo is enhanced and animates at a faster rate. Right before the WarnerMedia byline fades in, snow starts to fall and the background turns into a windy snowstorm, after which the shield freezes solid. It shatters outward to reveal the Warner Animation Group logo, which dissolves into snow a few seconds later. This was done by Sony Pictures Imageworks.

---

A Star is Born (2018):

• The first few seconds of the logo are cut out. Also, the logo fades out a bit earlier than usual.

---

Aquaman films:

• Aquaman (2018): The logo is aqua blue and is underwater. The shield is covered in coral and seaweed and part of it is wedged in a seabed, and the WarnerMedia byline has an ocean ripple effect. After a few seconds, the byline fades out and the camera pans up from the logo, leading into the DC Comics variant.

• Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023): Same as the previous film, but with a few changes: the logo's positioned at a slightly different angle, the WarnerMedia byline has been replaced by the WBD byline (reflecting Warner Bros.' current parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery), and some vegetation has been added to the logo. The logo also animates differently, with the camera zooming out from the center of the shield instead. A school of fish are seen swimming near the shield as well.

---

Shazam! film series:

• Shazam! (2019): The shield is colored in red with its interior in black and is put on a stormy background with thunder brewing about. It zooms up and positions itself, revealing the 2018 WarnerMedia byline, which is already underneath the shield and is also red. It zooms away from the camera and the New Line Cinema logo with the same appearance follows afterwards. The stormy background in this variant is a nod to the film logos in the later installments of the Harry Potter film series.

• Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023):
  • Opening: The New Line Cinema version of the logo is made out of earth/rock and is put upon a dark grey cloudy background. The lighting effects on the logo make it appear to have blue shading. Additionally, the logo cuts in from black rather than fading in from black (akin to the no-fade effect on Devastudios' website).

• 
• 

• • Closing: Same as the opening, but it isn't animated and it fades in from black like usual. Also, the WBD byline is white (beige due to the lighting).

---

---

The Kitchen (2019):

• The 1970 Kinney Shield logo is used, animating in the style of the 1973 "\\'" logo (complete with the red background), and when it finishes animating, the 2018 WarnerMedia byline fades in on the box part of the logo, with the word "presents" fading in below the Kinney Shield logo.

---

The Goldfinch (2019):

• Same as The Sun Is Also a Star, only slightly brighter.

---

Joker (2019):

• A (somewhat inaccurate) recreation of the 1973 \\' logo is used. However, at the start of the logo, the word "WARNER BROS." is removed from the red \\' portion of the logo. Afterwards, when the white \\' finishes zooming in on a red background, the word "WARNER BROS. PICTURES" in the Handel Gothic font fades in below the \\' logo instead of "A WARNER COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY". Afterwards, the 2018 WarnerMedia byline (in its usual font) fades in below "WARNER BROS. PICTURES". This marks the first time since 1997 that there is no DC logo after the WB logo (however, it does appear at the end of the movie). This was done by Antenna Creative, who also made the Amazon Studios and Lantern Entertainment logos.

---

Doctor Sleep (2019):

• The 1984 logo is used once again, but with the 2018 WarnerMedia byline.

---

Scoob! (2020):

• This was the last film to have the 1998 WB logo in the Warner Animation Group logo. After the WB shield flips into the WAG shield, the logo pans down to start the movie.

• 
• 
• 

---

Tenet (2020):

---

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020):

---

Tom & Jerry (2021):

• This was the first film to have the 2021 WB logo in the Warner Animation Group logo. The logo flips around to reveal the new Warner Animation Group logo, before panning down into New York for the opening credits. The clouds in the background have a slightly different color, and the 2019 WarnerMedia byline is harder to see as a result. An instrumental version of "Can I Kick It?" by A Tribe Called Quest plays during this variant.

---

Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021, HBO Max; Original and Justice is Grey):

• The logo's colors are either saturated or in black and white, depending on the version, and the entire logo is in 4:3 to fit Snyder's original vision.

• 
• 

---

Mortal Kombat (2021):

• This was the first film to have the 2021 WB logo in the New Line Cinema logo. The Warner Bros. logo is metallic silver and appears on a darker version of the usual sky background, with fire burning beneath the shield; this reflects the powers of Mortal Kombat fighter Scorpion, which are fire. Like the normal logo, this was made by Devastudios. A version without the fade in and fade out effects, as well as the sound effects, can be seen on Devastudios' website and Michael Daniels' website.

• 
• 

---

Those Who Wish Me Dead (2021) and Evil Dead Rise (2023):

---

Reminiscence (2021):

• The logo starts off blurry and gains focus as the studio lot is panning around. Once the logo completes, we blur back in again to the opening sequence.

---

• The 2021 New Line Cinema version of the logo has a videotape effect to it and glitches throughout. This was made by Filmograph.

---

• Opening: The 2021 logo is in black and white; the studio lot part is cut, and the background is black, although the reflection of the studio lot and clouds are still visible on the shield animation. The rotation of the shield is also slower than usual.
• Closing: Same as the opening variant, but the lens flare effect is slightly different.

---

The Many Saints of Newark (2021):

• The 2021 New Line Cinema version of the logo has a slight gray tint to it.

---

Dune film series:

• Dune (2021):
  • Before the 2021 logo is shown, a phrase in an alien language is heard (Which is actually the Sardaukar, the ruthless warrior army that Emperor Shaddam commands in the film.) as a caption with the English translation set in the Futura font, "Dreams are messages from the deep." appears on a black background.

• • After that, the 2021 logo cuts in (similar to the no fade in effect from the Devastudios website), animating like normal, but the background fades to black at the end, similar to the 2020 logo; the shield and byline follow suit a second later.

• Dune: Part Two (2024):
  • Before the 2023 logo is shown, a different phrase in the Sardaukar language is heard as a caption with the English translation set in the Futura font, "Power over Spice", and then after, "is power over all." appears on a black background, but in the Digital release the English translation is not present and only see a black background and Sardaukar speech audio.

---

Hui Buh und das Hexenschloss (2022, Germany):

• The logo is made of slightly rusted metal, lacks its interior, is bylineless, and zooms away on a dark teal stormy background. The lightning that appears in the background and frontground affects the logo's lighting. The Rat Pack Filmproduktion logo in the same style appears afterwards.

---

Eraser: Reborn (2022, HBO Max):

• The colors on the 2021 logo are more vivid.

---

Elvis (2022):

• This was the first film to have the official WBD byline in the 2021 WB logo. The logo starts out with a golden door with the initials "EP" (the initials of the titular character, Elvis Presley) in it, with a "TCB" (the initials of the titular character's motto, Taking Care of Business) thunderbolt logo in the sides, which looks like the titular character's ring. Then, it reveals an ornate WB shield in gold with a blue interior, with the "WB" letters in glittery silver. Necklaces and jewelry made of gold and rubies surround the shield and there are golden lines in the background. The Warner Bros. Discovery byline fades in underneath in light gold. It then transitions to the Bazmark Films logo. During the shield's reveal, four jewelry-styled replicas of the studio's iconic water tower shown in the normal logo can be seen, colored in gold. A snippet of "Suspicious Minds" by Presley plays over this and the Bazmark logo.
• Like the normal logo, this was done by Devastudios. A version without the sound effects, with the music playing late as soon as the door opens, can be shown in Devastudios' website with assistance from FotoKem. The logo won a Silver Clio Entertainment Award in 2022 alongside Bazmark and the rest of the opening graphics of the film. A behind the scenes video can be found on Devastudios' Instagram page.

---

Black Adam (2022):

• The New Line Cinema version of the logo is made of Kahndaq's Eternium metal with thunder and lightning in the background. Some bolts of electricity strike the shield's interior as it breaks up, and a few more strike some of the shield's parts as the background changes to an orange cloudy background and the logo turns into the New Line Cinema logo. Like the normal logo, this was done by Devastudios. A version without the fade in and fade out effects, as well as the sound effects and the music, can be shown on Devastudios' website.

• 
• 

---

House Party (2023):

• The New Line Cinema version of the logo starts normally, but as the camera goes past one of the filmstrips, it transitions into the 1987 New Line Cinema logo. While this part doesn't use the 2021 fanfare, the 1994 New Line Cinema fanfare plays as the logo is about to transition.

• 
• 

---

The Flash (2023):

• This was the first movie to use the bannerless 2023 logo and the alternate WBD byline (set in the Warner Bros. Sans font). A streak of lightning travels through a red, smoky vortex, zooming through five older Warner Bros. logos (in order: the 1925 logo, the 1948 logo, the 1934 logo, the 1972 Saul Bass "Big W" logo, and the 1993 logo, the latter of which lacks its interior). All of these WB logos are golden. Afterwards, it goes through the Warner Bros. Discovery version of the shield, which is also in gold and has the alternate WBD byline already underneath it. Then it transitions to the DC Comics logo. This logo was designed by Picturemill.

Barbie (2023):

• Opening: The shield's interior is bright pink instead of blue (except for the studio lot in the opening), and the sky background has a slight pinkish tint. Also, the fanfare is out of sync.

• Closing: Same as the opening, but it is still.

• To promote the movie, some of Warner Bros.'s international social media accounts, as well as the studio's water tower, temporarily used the logo from this movie.

---

Blue Beetle (2023):

• In space, there are some fire and bacteria joining together. They create the bannerless 2023 logo in the form of an energy construct from the Scarab. Once the logo forms, the alternate WBD byline appears below. The camera then zooms out of it, which deforms the logo in the process, leading into the DC Comics variation. This was done by Picturemill.

---

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024):

• The 2023 logo is black & white (Beetlejuice's suit colors).
