'''Nicknames:''' "Brain Shield", "The Early Shield"


'''Logo:''' On a background that looks like a forest, a large, bizarrely shaped shield is seen with a very wide top. The top part of the shield shows a picture of the original Warner studio in Hollywood, CA (now known as "Sunset Bronson Studios"), the bottom having a squashed, stylized "WB". "{{font|Times New Roman|a WARNER BROTHERS}}" is above the shield (with "{{font|Times New Roman|WARNER BROTHERS}}" in an arc around the shield, a la the first [[Columbia Pictures|Columbia]] logo), with "{{font|Times New Roman|CLASSIC ''of the'' SCREEN}}" below. Starting in 1926 or so, it changed to "{{font|Times New Roman|PRODUCTION}}".

'''Nicknames:''' "Vitaphone Shield", "Shield and Flag"


'''Logo:''' The words "WARNER BROS. PICTURES, Inc." appear, and "''& THE '''VITAPHONE''' CORP.''" appears below in a much smaller font, with the "VITAPHONE" in "electric" style letters. Below is a very small WB shield (using the stylized WB seen in the 1st logo), and in script, "{{font|Times New Roman|Present}}". Behind it we see a drawing of a flag "waving" so it looks like it is in three sections: on the first, "WARNER BROS." appears, followed by the electric-letter "VITAPHONE" logo and "PICTURES".

'''Nicknames:''' "The Classic Shield", "The Golden Shield"


'''Logo:''' Same as before, only the design has been cleaned up a bit. The border of the shield, banner, text, and "WB" are now {{color|gold}}, and the inside of the shield is now {{color|blue}}. The banner phrase is now changed to "{{font|Times New Roman|'''WARNER BROS. PICTURES'''}}" and is now {{color|gold}}. "{{font|Times New Roman|''Presents''}}", in the same font as the previous logo, usually appears below. Also, the background is now a cloud skyline (much like the logos of 1984 on). For the later years, this logo was usually superimposed onto the titles of Warner features of this period.

'''Nicknames:''' "WB-7", "W7", "W7 Shield" "Lucky Shield"


'''Logo:''' Just a superimposed, stylized shield which can be white, {{color|gold|yellow}} or {{color|red}}. The shield features a combination of a "'''W'''" and a "'''7'''", representing Warner Bros.-Seven Arts. The "'''W7'''" is often drawn on-screen, a la the NBC Snake, although it's a still logo on a few films. Below the shield, "{{font|Impact|WARNER BROS.-SEVEN ARTS}}" is seen. The word "Presents" usually appears under the shield.

'''Nicknames:''' "Gasoline Shield", "The Kinney Shield", "Long Shield"


'''Logo:''' On a {{color|blue}} background, we see an abstract shield (akin to those seen on posters for 1960s Warner Bros. films) in a {{color|gold|golden}} color with a {{color|brown|dark brownish}} color inside. The word "WB" (this time not stylized) is at the upper part, and a rectangle in the same colors is at the lower part of the shield with the Kinney byline inside. The word "{{color|orange|PRESENTS}}" appears underneath the logo.

'''Nicknames:''' "The Big "W"", "(\\')", "The Worms", "The Saul Bass Logo"


'''Logo:''' On a black background, an abstract "{{color|red|'''W'''}}", consisting of two slanted elongated circles and a shorter elongated circle, zooms towards us. Around halfway through, the words "'''WARNER BROS'''" (in the Warner Communications custom typeface) appear below it. The {{color|red}} logo overtakes the screen as a smaller white "W" zooms in. It stops at the middle of the screen and a black square field, whose corners have been rounded and softened, fades in around the logo. "A WARNER COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY", in the same font as "WARNER BROS", fades in below. Most of the time, "PRESENTS" also fades in below (in Helvetica).

'''Availability:''' Ultra common. In fact, the 1992 version is usually the one that plasters older logos (hence the nickname "Shield of Plastering"), and it's probably the most common movie logo ever. Fortunately, WB has eased up on this somewhat, and older logos have been seen more often in recent years on newer prints/masters.

* This logo made its first appearance on the aforementioned ''Gremlins'' (released on June 8, 1984) and made its final regular appearance on ''True Crime'' (released on March 19, 1999). The closing version made its final appearance on ''Valentine'' (released on February 2, 2001).

'''Nicknames:''' "CGI Shield", "Shield in the Sky II"


'''Logo:''' A picture of the Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank is seen with a {{color|gold}} tint, and ripples slowly (a la the [[DreamWorks Pictures]] logo) before rotating to reveal itself as the WB shield over the quintessential cloud skyline, both of which are now redone in CGI. The shield continues to rotate as it zooms out to its usual position, with the company byline fading in underneath.

'''Nicknames:''' "CGI Shield II", "Shield in the Sky III", "The AT&T Shield", "The Placeholder Shield"


'''Logo:''' It starts the same way as the previous logo, then we see the new 2019 Warner Bros. shield without a banner swing in fully upright from the left of screen against the same cloudy sky background as the previous logo. The "WB" text reflects various other clouds. As the shield zooms out into position, the sky background fades to black and the 2019 WarnerMedia byline now reading "a '''Warner'''Media company" in a modified AT&T Aleck Sans font fades in below. The shield shines throughout.
