Background
Warner Independent Pictures was the indie-movie arm of Warner Bros. Entertainment established on August 7, 2003 to produce and distribute independent film and documentary releases. After New Line Cinema became a subsidiary of Warner Bros., Time Warner announced they were shutting down both WIP and Picturehouse (the indie film division of New Line/HBO) on May 8, 2008.
Logo (July 2, 2004-September 26, 2008)
Visuals: The WB shield logo in gray or white appears on a black background. 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, as well as "WARNER" and "PICTURES" in gray or white. The byline "A TimeWarner Company" fades in seconds later.
Technique: Computerized 2D animation.
Audio: None or the opening theme of the movie.
Availability: 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. It does not appear on Slumdog Millionaire; although WIP had signed on as that film's producer, the studio was shut down before it was released and the movie was therefore sold to Fox Searchlight Pictures, who distributed the movie along with the main Warner Bros. studio.
