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.

Open Season (2006): The torch lady's torch flashes to preceed into the Sony Pictures Animation logo.
Superbad (2007): A rather neat variation of the 1975-1981 "Sunburst" logo. The byline "a SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT company" is seen at the bottom in the beginning. 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.)
Surf's Up (2007, Sony Pictures Animation): The Sony Pictures Animation logo fades in on a white background with snowflakes.
The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep (2007): The Columbia Torch Lady is wearing a Santa hat and it's snowing in the logo. This only occurs on TV spots for the film, not the actual feature.

Paramount

Alpine For You (Popeye Short, 1951): An end gag that may have started it all. Bluto's on this mountain top and then Popeye grabs the mountain top with Bluto on it with a lasso. He then punches Bluto and lets go of the mountain top and stars emerge from Bluto's head and form the Paramount logo, as the words "A Paramount Picture" appear below Bluto.


Race For Your Life, Charlie Brown (1977): The Paramount logo is on a pink background after the mountain turns into the finished logo.

Paramount logo ("Race For Your Life, Charlie Brown" variant)

Indiana Jones Series(1982, 1984, 1989): These logos were replicas of the classic "A Paramount Picture" logo but with Gulf + Western info added at the bottom. The mountain fades from the logo, and are:

From "Riders of Lost Ark"

Coming To America (1988): The CGI Paramountain forms as usual (with a Gulf + Western byline). It then turns into a real mountain (with stars and text intact), and we zoom in over the top, and past the letters. This is done as Eddie Murphy's character lived in the Kingdom beyond the Paramountain.

Scrooged (1988): The word "Paramount" and "A Gulf+Western Company" are a blue-silver color, and the camera zooms over the Paramountain into the "Yule Love It!" promo. The theatrical trailer on the DVD has snow coming down from the sky and the camera zooms into the Paramountain.

Logo Variations - CLG Wiki Logo Variations - CLG Wiki

South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut (1999): We see the usual 1988-2001 Paramount Majestic mountain with the usual stars animation. Once the Paramount logo gets done, it fades as a regular green mountain with a snow cap that can be seen on pretty much every South Park episode. Sadly, this was only seen on US prints of the movie, while international prints of the film plasters it with the 1999 Warner Bros. Pictures logo, but it still recovers the music from the logo.

Logo Variations - CLG Wiki
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.
Logo Variations - CLG Wiki


Rebel Without a Cause (1955):

Logo Variations - CLG WikiLogo Variations - CLG Wiki


The Omega Man (1972): The WB Shield is superimposed over Charlton Heston driving a car.
Logo Variations - CLG Wiki


One Crazy Summer (1985): 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. Scary as hell.
Logo Variations - CLG WikiLogo Variations - CLG Wiki

The Goonies (1985): The logo fades to a skull with crossbones.
Who’s That Girl? (1987): The Warner Bros. logo with byline appears as animated on a granite background.

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."
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 exhaustedly exits right.

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


Logo Variations - CLG Wiki
Batman Forever (1995): The WB shield transforms into the Batman logo
From Hare To Eternity (1996): 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.

Underneath is a "A Mystery Inc. Company" byline.

Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003): Just the 1998-present WB logo with the prototype "TIME WARNER" byline but everything but the shield fades out and we see the shield zooming out on the red rings make immediately makes you think "Looney Tunes".
