_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Music Man (1962): We see a very large array of uniformed marchers moving forward, two further in front who are carrying on either side a wide red banner with the Warner Bros. logo on it. The camera then zooms in on the banner to show the usual logo with "PRESENTS" under it.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

What's Up, Doc? (1972): The logo is gold on a brown book. As we zoom out, we see a hand opening the book to the inside cover, and then to the text "Warner Bros., A Warner Communications Company Presents". At the end of the movie, the final page reads "Distributed by Warner Bros." The book is then closed to reveal the gold WB logo from the beginning.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Blazing Saddles (1974): After the 1972 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", which segues into the opening credits.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Time After Time (1979): The 1948 WB shield zooms in on a cloudy background while the classic 1930s fanfare plays. Seen after the 1979 Orion/WB logo (which is plastered by the 1972 logo on later prints).

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales (1982): The 1972 logo plays as normal, but then the WB logo from the 1936 Merrie Melodies cartoon intro zooms in, segueing into the opening credits.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

The Killing Fields (1984): The 1984 logo starts off bylineless. Suddenly, the Warner Communications byline fades in.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird (1985): Instead of the regular WB 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 announces that "Sesame Street is brought to you today by the letters W and B." This logo makes a surprise appearance on the TV movie Here's Looking at You, Warner Bros., where John Williams' theme from Superman is heard.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment (1985): The inside of the shield has a forest green tint.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________________

The Color Purple (1985): The logo has a very slight maroon tint.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer (1985): The "Distributed by" variant of the 1985 print logo, tinted in rainbow, scrolls up with the credits.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

One Crazy Summer (1986): The logo appears as normal. Then suddenly, it turns into a crudely drawn version of the shield, 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 then we zoom into his mouth, seeing the ONE CRAZY SUMMER title zoom in toward us.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Who’s That Girl? (1987): The Warner Bros. logo with byline appears as animated on a granite background. We zoom 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, stopping at its usual place as the Warner Communications byline fades in below. A reorchestrated version of the fanfare from the Looney Tunes short You Oughta Be in Pictures, 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 (1989): The WB shield is a metallic orange, and the sky is dark blue. The Warner Communications byline is also in a different font.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Second Sight (1989): The style of the WB shield and clouds typically seen on the scope aspect ratio is seen here in flat aspect ratio.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990): Instead of the normal shield logo, a replica of the classic 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 riding it, and the text fades out. Daffy Duck then comes on screen, angrily pushes him off the shield ("50 years of you hogging the spotlight is ENOUGH!"), and tries to ride it... well, it doesn't work as good for him :) They also have another Looney Tunes-style ending, with Porky doing the usual "That's all Folks!" ending before Daffy, like before, complains of Porky hogging (no pun intended) the spotlight, saying "60 years of hogging the end title is enough!" Daffy tries to say the end line, but like before, is stopped when the shield with Chuck Jones' credit comes out, hitting him in the face. He gets back up and weakly says "Fade out."

_______________________________________________________________________________________

My Blue Heaven (1990): The 1990 shield has a somewhat reddish tone to it.

______________________________________________________________________________________________

Warner Home Video movie intro (1990): The logo begins as usual (with Max Steiner's fanfare), until Bugs Bunny interrupts and opens up the shield to tell the audience that the movie can't begin until you wish him a happy birthday. It then cuts to various Looney Tunes clips as a chorus sings "Happy Birthday to You", and then cuts back to Bugs looking rather satisfied. This appeared on an Italian VHS of Caddyshack and a UK VHS of Driving Miss Daisy.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

That "Blooper" Bunny! (1991): Instead of the normal shield logo, a recreation of the 1936 "Bullseye" logo with orange circles, black center and the animation of Bugs riding the shield is shown, similar to the 1950s Looney Tunes bumper, but the music is abridged and high pitched version of the opening "What's Up, Doc?" music with the shield's "twanging" noise intact at the beginning. The title of the logo reads "WARNER BROS. ANIMATION INC.", and the text below the shield now reads "Presents" instead of "Present".

During the cartoon, at the end of the Bugs Bunny 51st and a 1/2 anniversary spectacular scene: We see a recreation of the 1950s Merrie Melodies "That's all Folks!" script closing logo, but after "A WARNER BROS. CARTOON" appears, the logo stays for a few seconds. After that, the logo quickly shakes too fast, eventually burning up. Then, it cuts to a slide that reads "Earlier that Morning..." with a rooster crowing and the sun is behind the rooster. After that comes the old universal countdown leader screen.

At the end of the short, a rather different ending plays instead of the usual "That's all Folks!" script logo, in which "That's all Folks!", in a different font (also turned counterclockwise), scrolls upward, followed by an outlined circle with an "X" in it appearing for a split-second.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers (1992): A recreation of "The Bullseye" logo with orange circles, black center and "Bugs Riding the Shield". Animation and music similar to the 1940s Looney Tunes bumper, but the title of the logo reads "WARNER BROS. ANIMATION INC.," the text below the shield reads "Presents" instead of "Present", and text below reads "A WARNER BROS. CARTOON MADE IN N.Y.C. AND BURBANK." The music is the 1955-1964 orchestration of "The Merry Go Round Broke Down."

At the end of the short, we see a recreation of the 1943 "Porky in the Drum" logo, in which a badly animated "stereotype" version of Porky (whom, aside from also wearing pants, resembles a Terry Gilliam drawing) bursts out of the drum and tries to say his famous line in a pale voice imitation as outer-spacey sound-effects play in the background. An unamused Bugs enters from the left and kicks the fake Porky out (which crashes off screen), then grabs the real Porky and puts him in the drum where he belongs. Porky is surprised for a moment ("Oh, oops!"), then proceeds with his famous line and pose as Bugs exhaustively exits right, as the ending of the 1937-1938 "The Merry Go Round Broke Down" opening theme plays.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________________________

You've Got Mail (1998): The logo plays normally with sounds of computers and fax machines playing over it. After the logo finishes, the background fades to a static computer wallpaper, leaving the shield 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. The logo also has computer sounds, which were deliberately made to sync up to the logo's animation. (If you notice, in the bottom right corner, there is an America Online icon, who Time Warner would coincidentally merge with in 2001)

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Jack Frost (1998): The shield and the text is covered with snow and ice. Also, the cloud background is tinted dark red.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

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.

______________________________________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Cats & Dogs (2001): When the fanfare finishes, the logo turns dark.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Hearts in Atlantis (2001): The fanfare is pitched up by a semitone, exactly as it would on a normal PAL print of a WB film. As a result, the logo is double pitched on PAL releases.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001): The logo is slightly dimmed compared to the normal version. On the DVD menu, The logo is set on a night time cloudy background. And just the like the teaser trailer, it decomposes as owls fly by.

Flags of Our Fathers (2006): Similar to the with the logo used on Contact, but with the TimeWarner byline and in black and white.
