Nickname: "Abstract WI"
Logo: First, we see the WB shield logo. Then, after a second, the shield and the B fade out leaving the W. The W moves to the right until stopping in the middle of the screen. A red or gray light glows and forms a dot above the second stem of the W as "WARNER INDEPENDENT PICTURES" wipes in below with "INDEPENDENT" in red or gray. The byline "A TimeWarner Company" fades in seconds later.
FX/SFX: The fade out of the shield and the red light. Simple, but effective.
Music/Sounds: None or the opening theme of the movie.
Availability: Common. Can be seen on a lot of indie releases from Warner including March of the Penguins and A Scanner Darkly. The last film WIP made was Towelhead, which uses this logo.
Editor's Note: A footnote in WB's long history. One would only wonder the end result if Picturehouse and WIP merged.
