Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment

1st Logo
(1995- )


Nicknames: "WB Shield", "WB Crest", "Metallic Shield"

Logo: On a black (or white) background, we see a metallic shield (also called a crest), and inside is "WB" appearing as seen on most Warner movie logos. Over the shield is a banner that reads "INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT". In the logo, seven little sparks are seen on the shield. Sometimes, "Under License by" appears above, along with its copyright information below.

Variants:

• On Space Jam, the background is outer space. Plus, it zooms away causing the Acclaim and Sculptured Software logos to appear.
• There is an animated version in which the logo zooms in on The Flintstones Bedrock Bowling. Also, the banner is big. On Batman: Gotham City Racer for PlayStation, the banner is normal.
• On Game Boy Color games, the copyright info sometimes appears below.
• There is a black and white variation on Batman Forever for Game Boy.
• On the PlayStation version of Batman & Robin, the Batman logo turns into the WB Interactive Entertainment shield in blue, and in the background, smokey clouds are seen on the shield. Then it turns into the DC logo, the Acclaim logo, and then the Probe logo.
• On Batman Forever: The Arcade Game, the logo is in blue on a dark blue background. Then it fades to the DC logo, the Acclaim logo, and of course, the Iguana Entertainment logo.
• On Tom and Jerry for Game Boy Color, the WB Interactive Entertainment logo looks ugly. There is one spark on the "W" in "WB".
• Also, on Tom and Jerry in Mouse Attacks! for Game Boy Color, the logo appears cutting out to a gray screen.
• On Tom and Jerry: Mouse Hunt for Game Boy Color, the logo is lighter and the background is blue, and in the background we hear a 8-bit version of the theme song of The New Tom and Jerry Show.
• On Lego Batman for Nintendo DS, the logo is in black and white.

FX/SFX: None, it's a still logo. In the animated version, the zoom in.
