Background

In 2013, Warner Bros. relaunched their feature animation division as Warner Animation Group, debuting with The Lego Movie.

1st Logo (February 7, 2014-2021)

Nicknames: "CGI Shield", "The WB/WAG Combo", "The WB/WAG Shield Transformation", "Shield in the Sky", "2010s Shield"

Logo: We start with the normal Warner Bros. Pictures logo, but the shield is rendered differently, and it turns around to reveal a shield similar-looking to the standard Warner Bros. Pictures logo, but has a white border and red interior, and the letters "WB" are replaced by "WAG", while the wording on the banner reads "Warner Animation Group". The banner is also lower than usual. A Time Warner byline is below it in gray.

Bylines:

2014-2016: "A TimeWarner Company"
September 23, 2016-September 22, 2017: "A TimeWarner Company"
July 21, 2018-February 26, 2021: "A WARNERMEDIA Company" (with "WARNERMEDIA" in its own logo font)

Variants:

On the teaser trailer for Storks, the shield is still, smaller, and less shiny, and the Time Warner byline is larger and red.
Each film has a different variant of this logo, all of which can be descried here.

FX/SFX: The shield flipping.

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.

Availability: Seen films from WAG from the 2010s mostly, it debuted on their first film The Lego Movie and made its final appearance on Scoob, released on May, 15, 2020. Don't expect this to appear on Teen Titans Go! to the Movies, as the Warner Bros. Animation logo is used instead. This logo also appeared on the trailers and TV spots for the 2021 Tom and Jerry movie, despite the film itself using the next logo below.

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.

2nd Logo (February 10, 2021-)

Nicknames: "CGI Shield II", "The WB/WAG Combo II", "The WB/WAG Shield Transformation 2.0", "Looney Blue and Red Shields", "The Joy-Con Shields", "Shield in the Sky II", "Bannerless WAG Shield", "AT&T Shield", "The 2020s Shield",

Logo: Same as the 2021 Warner Bros. Pictures logo, but rendered slightly differently. When the logo reaches its final position, it flips into an updated Warner Animation Group logo, now in the current shield with an red interior, no banner, and the text on the shield updated. The logo shines as the WarnerMedia byline fades in during all this.

FX/SFX: Nice CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo.

Availability: Brand new. First appeared on the 2021 Tom and Jerry movie, and will be seen on future WAG films.

Editor's Note: Solid CG throughout, and compared the first logo, the WAG shield looks even more like the Looney Tunes shield.
