'''Visuals:''' The sequence starts with the normal 1998 [[Warner Bros. Pictures]] logo, but the shield is rendered differently and with considerably less detail. When its original animation is complete, it flips around to reveal a shield similar-looking to the standard Warner Bros. Pictures logo, but has a white border and red interior (similar to the one seen in the ''Looney Tunes'' intros), and the letters "WB" are replaced by "WAG", while the wording on the banner reads "warner • animation • group" (later using the uppercase letters, reading "'''WARNER • ANIMATION • GROUP'''"). The banner is also lower than usual. The byline is seen below. |
|||
'''Nicknames:''' "CGI Shield", "The WB/WAG Combo", "Shield in the Sky" |
|||
'''Trivia:''' The colors of the WAG shield are reminiscent of how the shield appeared in ''Looney Tunes'' cartoons. |

'''Technique:''' CGI by [[Devastudios]] and [[Reel FX Animation Studios|Reel FX]]. |
|||
'''FX/SFX:''' The shield flipping. |
|||
'''Audio:''' The opening theme of the movie. |
|||
'''Music/Sounds:''' The opening theme of the movie. ''The Master'' and ''The Lego Batman Movie'' both feature the opening narration. ''SCOOB!'' uses the 1999 [[Warner Bros. Pictures]] fanfare for the WB part and "California Love" by 2Pac feat. Dr. Dre for the WAG part. |
|||
'''Audio Variants:''' |
|||
'''Availability:''' Common. Seen on all films from WAG from 2014 to 2020. Debuted on their first film ''The Lego Movie'' and made its final theatrical appearance on ''SCOOB!''. Don't expect this logo to appear on ''Teen Titans GO! To the Movies'', as that film is produced by [[Warner Bros. Animation]] instead. This logo also appeared on the trailers and TV spots for ''Tom & Jerry'' (2021), despite the film itself using the next logo below. |
|||
*''The Master'' and ''The Lego Batman Movie'' both feature the opening narration. |
|||
*''Scoob!'' (2020) uses the 1999 [[Warner Bros. Pictures]] fanfare for the WB part and the film's opening theme ("California Love" by 2Pac ft. Dr. Dre) for the WAG part and the film's prologue. |
|||
'''Availability:''' Seen on films produced by this company, beginning with ''The Lego Movie'' (the studio's first film) and ending with ''Scoob!'' (that film being the normal logo's only appearance). |
|||
'''Editor's Note:''' The colors of the WAG shield are more reminiscent of the how the shield appeared in ''Looney Tunes'' cartoons that were released in the 1950s. |
|||
*Also seen on trailers and TV spots for those films, with the exception of ''The Lego Movie'', as well as the short films ''The Master'' and ''Super Soozie''. |
|||
**''The Master'' was used to promote ''The Lego Ninjago Movie'' and was released alongside ''Storks'' in theaters, while ''Super Soozie'' was released alongside ''Smallfoot'' on home media. |
|||
*This logo does not appear on ''Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders'' and ''Teen Titans Go! To the Movies'', as those films were both produced by [[Warner Bros. Animation]] instead. |
|||
*It was last seen on the trailer and some TV spots for ''Tom & Jerry'' (2021), while the next logo made its debut on the actual movie. |
|||
'''Legacy:''' A very well known logo among fans of ''The Lego Movie'' franchise. |

'''Visuals:''' The sequence starts with the normal 2021 [[Warner Bros. Pictures]] logo. When its original animation is complete, the byline fades in below the shield (earlier than the normal WB logo). Then the shield flips around to reveal a shield similar-looking to the 2019 Warner Bros. shield. Like the previous logos, it has the same white border and red interior (similar to the one seen in the ''Looney Tunes'' intros), and the letters "WB" are replaced by "WAG", but this time, it does not have the "'''WARNER • ANIMATION • GROUP'''" banner. Just like the standard WB logo, the shield then shines. |

'''Nicknames:''' "The WB/WAG Combo II", "The Joy-Con Shields", "Shield in the Sky II", "The AT&T Shield", "CGI Shield II" |

'''Bylines:''' |
|||
'''Logo:''' We start with the normal 2021 Warner Bros. Pictures logo. When its original animation is complete, the WarnerMedia byline fades in below the shield (earlier than the normal WB logo). Then the shield flips around to reveal a shield similar-looking to the 2019 Warner Bros shield, but has a same white border and the same red interior from the previous logo, and again, like the previous logo, the letters "WB" are replaced by "WAG" and this time it does not have the "'''WARNER • ANIMATION • GROUP'''" banner. The shield then shines. |
|||
* February 11-July 16, 2021: "a '''Warner'''Media company" |
|||
* July 27, 2022: "A '''WARNER BROS. DISCOVERY''' COMPANY" |
|||
'''Variants:''' |
|||
'''Trivia:''' On the ending credits of ''Space Jam: A New Legacy'', the WAG logo is seen on Granny's jersey when she's fighting with former UFC fighter and WWE superstar, "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey (archival picture from UFC), while Speedy cheers in the picture. |
|||
*Sometimes, the sun appears first, then the footage of the studio lot fades in. |
|||
*On films animated in the 2:39 aspect ratio, the shield and byline are a bit smaller. |
|||
'''Technique:''' CGI, again done by Devastudios. Like the normal WB logo, the sky and clouds were done using Terragen from Planetside Software, while the backlot, due to COVID-19 restrictions, were created using drone footage, original blueprints from the Warner Bros. Studio Facilities and available photography and videography from Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood and Google Earth, all in order to reconstruct it in CGI. |
|||
'''Variant:''' On ''Tom & Jerry'' (2021) (the first film to use this logo), the logo has slightly more cream-colored, morning sky-style clouds, and at the end, the camera pans down to the opening scene of the movie. The music is "Can I Kick It?" by A Tribe Called Quest. |
|||
'''Audio:''' The opening theme of the movie. |
|||
'''Availability:''' This logo only appeared on three films within less than two years before the company was renamed to Warner Bros. Pictures Animation. |
|||
*It first appeared on ''Tom & Jerry'' (2021, albeit using a variant). |
|||
*The normal version debuted on the Japanese trailer for ''Space Jam: A New Legacy'' and later appeared on the movie itself. |
|||
*The version with the Warner Bros. Discovery byline debuted on the trailer for ''DC League of Super-Pets'' and the full version appeared on the film itself under the WAG banner before the company was renamed to Warner Bros. Pictures Animation. |

'''Visuals:''' Three main variants of this are known: |
|||
'''FX/SFX:''' Nice CGI animation done by Devastudios. Like the normal WB logo, the sky and clouds were done using Terragen from Planetside Software. |
|||
*On a red background with a "W" in the background, there is the titular character from ''The Iron Giant'' chasing Marvin the Martian, who is beaming up a border of the shield from his flying saucer with screws flying around. Then there is Tom Cat, Jerry Mouse and Bugs Bunny in the border of the shield, with an "A" in the background. Again, there is the Iron Giant, with Batman from ''The Lego Movie'' franchise and the Road Runner on the Giant's shoulder and Marvin in the background, and cuts to a shot of the 2016 WAG shield from the previous logo with the Giant's legs behind it and Scooby-Doo in front of the shield. |
|||
*In a background composed of various shield borders, there is the Lego version of Batman, a 2D Bugs Bunny, young Mumble from ''Happy Feet'', the titular character from ''Corpse Bride'', and the Iron Giant with Batman in front of it, as the WAG shield is seen in front of it, but like the second logo, it does not have the "'''WARNER • ANIMATION • GROUP'''" banner. Everything, except the shield, fades out to black. |
|||
**A variant with a slightly different concept exists. Here, the color grading is more redder and there are more characters, such as Scooby-Doo and the Justice League from the 2001 animated series of the same name. |
|||
*Various shots of a metallic red ''Looney Tunes''-like concentric circle pattern are seen. First, there is key art from ''Looney Tunes: Back in Action'', with Bugs Bunny centered, the Iron Giant, and key art from ''The Lego Movie''. The WAG shield is then seen animating like the 1998 WB logo in the same pattern, which is again bannerless and has a stone texture in it. |
|||
'''Technique:''' CGI by Reel FX Animation Studios and Nathaniel Howe Studios. |
|||
'''Music/Sounds:''' So far, the opening theme of the movie. |
|||
'''Audio:''' Unknown, as only style frames and model rotation GIFs exist. |
|||
'''Availability:''' Brand new. First appeared on ''Tom & Jerry'' (2021, albeit using a variant). The normal version debuted on the Japanese trailer for ''Space Jam: A New Legacy'' and later debuted on the aforementioned film, and will be seen on future WAG films. |
|||
'''Availability:''' Unused. Can only be seen in the form of style frames and and model rotation GIFs (of the first variant) on the Nathaniel Howe Studios website [https://nathanielhowe.com/projects/warner_animation_group/prj_index.html here]. |
|||
'''Editor's Note:''' Solid CG throughout, and compared to the first logo, the WAG shield looks even more like the ''Looney Tunes'' shield. However, on the ''Tom & Jerry'' variant, the byline's color is a little too light and is hard to see. Only time will tell if future films from WAG will use the 2021 WB fanfare or not. |
