Columbia Pictures (The Man Called Flintstone, 1966)


Thank God It's Friday (1978): We see the Torch Lady posed as in the start of "The Sunburst/Abstract Torch" logo. Suddenly disco music starts playing and the Lady turns animated and gets into a few seconds of dancing. Then she resumes in torch pose and the rest of the logo plays as normal.

Blue Streak (1999): Seen on the trailer only, it starts off with a close-up of the torch, then a far shot of the torch lady, a shot of the torch and the head. Then it goes to the complete logo with the "COLUMBIA" and Sony byline. It turns blue and stretches out.

As the camera slowly zooms into the torch, it disappears. As the "sunburst" is forming, a clock-style transition occurs behind it, turning the background from black to yellow, and after the sunburst forms, several human silhouettes are seen. (The recognizable music wasn't present, however; it just used the movie's opening theme.)

Lumberjack Rabbit (1954, Looney Tunes): The shield shoots up towards us like normal... but overshoots its mark so that it looks like it's crashing into the screen! It then moves back to its normal position though. Originally made to be shown in 3-D.


Girl on the Run (1958): The logo looks metallic and odd.

BlazingBlazing 2


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 a REALLY-EVIL looking animated bunny in a beanie cap (like the one seen in the movie) opens the WB shield from inside. He laughs, and then we zoom into his mouth, seeing the "ONE CRAZY SUMMER" title zoom up on us.

The Goonies (1985):The logo fades to a skull with crossbones.
Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird (1985): Instead of the regular WB logo, the movie opens with Oscar the Grouch singing the "Grouch Anthem". Afterwards, we get a brief 2-D animated segment where a cartoon Big Bird finds an air pump and a balloon. He inflates the balloon 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. While this happens, Big Bird announces that "Sesame Street is brought to you today by the letters W and B." The movie proper begins afterward.

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 sexy for the camera. The logo goes up and she moves down to make way for the opening credits.

Warner Bros. Pictures (RARE!)


Batman (1989): The WB shield is almost a light bronze, and the sky is dark blue. The Warner Communications byline is in a different font.

Logo Variations - CLG Wiki

Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990): Instead of the normal shield logo, a replica of the classic 1936-1963 WB "circles" cartoon logo comes up, with its text and minus 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 something to the effect of "60 Years of you doing 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."


(blooper) Bunny (1991):
Warner Bros. (1991)Merrie Melodies (1991)
OPEN: Instead of the normal shield logo, a recreation of "The Bullseye" logo with orange circles, black center and "Bugs Riding The Shield." animation comes up and it is similar to the 1950s Looney Tunes bumper, but the music now has an abridged and high pitched theme of the opening "Lumberjack Rabbit" 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 Bugs Riding 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 1950's 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, this logo quickly shakes too fast, eventually burning up. Then, it cuts to the slide that reads "Earlier that Morning..." with a rooster crowing and the sun is behind the rooster. After that comes the old animated countdown screen.

CLOSE: 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 a outline circle with an "X" in it appearing for a split-second.

Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers (1991):
Logo Variations - CLG Wiki

OPEN: A recreation of "The Bullseye" logo with orange circles, black center and "Bugs Riding The Shield." Animation and music is similar to the 1940s Looney Tunes bumper, but the title of the logo reads "WARNER BROS. ANIMATION INC.," and the "LOONEY TUNES" title card reads below "A WARNER BROS. CARTOON MADE IN N.Y.C. AND BURBANK."

CLOSE: We see a recreation of the 1944 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. A frowning 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.

Batman Returns (1992): Same as the original Batman, only with snow in the sky as well.

From Hare To Eternity (1996)/Pullet Surprise (1997): The 1992 Warner Bros. Family Entertainment logo is seen as normal, but we do not hear "Merrily We Roll Along" as often plays over the logo, INSTEAD we hear a re-orchestration of the 1936 Max Steiner WB fanfare. Other variations are done on "The Bullseye" opening/closing credits: the open on this cartoon has a Chuck Jones byline, and the close has "That's All Folks!" written over the bullseye in a SMALLER script than usual.

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008, DreamWorks Animation): The logo is different; the music is re-orchestrated the boy is surrounded by clouds as he flies up to the moon behind them. When he lets go of the balloons to sit on the moon with his fishing rod, we get a close up of it. After a couple of seconds, the "DreamWorks Animation SKG" logo text fades in below the moon. After a few more seconds, Skipper hits the boy and drags him through the moon! A fight can be heard and soon the penguins appear together, Skipper catching a fish with the rod saying "Well done, boys. Looks like ice cold sushi for breakfast!" They all do their high-fives as the camera pans down to start the movie.

Monsters vs. Aliens (2009, Dreamworks Animation): The logo is in black and white, is different like the Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa variation, and while the logo is almost over, a UFO hovers over the moon and abducts the boy on the moon, then it burns up to start the movie.
