Logo descriptions by Lenhill
Logo captures by Bob Fish and snelfu

Background: This was the indie-movie arm of Warner Bros. Entertainment established in 2003 to produce and distribute independent film and documentary releases. After New Line became a subsidary of Warner Bros., Hollywood press thought that WIP and Picturehouse (the indie film divisions of WB and New Line/HBO respectively) would be merged into each other. Then, as punishment, TimeWarner shut down both divisions.
(2003-2008)
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 2nd 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. Kinda simple, but effective.
Music/Sounds: None, but in other cases, it used a majestic opening sounder.
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 Chaos Theory, which uses this logo.
Scare factor: Minimal; it's rather dark, and no music (on some films) doesn't help either, but this logo's mostly harmless. It's a pretty popular logo.

This is one of the dumbest things TimeWarner has ever did! WIP and Picturehouse should have just merged together to make Warner Independent Picturehouse.
Here is where it talks about it: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080509/media_nm/warner_dc_1 |
