* On a Kabel 1 airing of ''It's Alive III: Island of the Alive'' (1987), the logo is accompanied by the 1985 Warner Home Video rendition of the Max Steiner fanfare due to another shoddy plastering job. Surprisingly, this logo fits better with that fanfare.

* February 12, 1999-November 26, 2020: An 8-note piano tune that builds into a powerful, moving fanfare, based on the theme from ''Casablanca'', "As Time Goes By" (originally used in the Broadway musical ''Everybody's Welcome''). It is a shortened version of an instrumental of "As Time Goes By" that appeared in a Warner Bros. 75th Anniversary promo that had been shown theatrically a year earlier. The fanfare made its debut in ''Message in a Bottle''. The fanfare uses "Crescendo Finale" from Peter Siedlaczek's Orchestral Colors, and maybe an unknown cymbal sample (probably SampleCell II or Big Fish Audio Prosonus).

'''Technique:''' CGI by [[Devastudios]] (who previously animated the logos for [[Lionsgate Films]] and [[Paramount Pictures]]). Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the backlot was created using drone footage, original blueprints from the Warner Bros. Studio Facilities and available photography and videography from Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood and Google Earth, all in order to reconstruct it in CGI. The sky and clouds were created with Terragen from Planetside Software.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A re-orchestrated version of the 12th logo's theme, now in a different key (this time in E♭ major). It has a more powerful, orchestral buildup, and the opening notes are now played on a guitar and flute as opposed to a piano. This was composed by Ludwig Göransson. It is unknown what samples are used (probably Spitfire Audio or Cinesamples).

* An upload of the logo on Billy Mallery's Vimeo page has an alternate fanfare which is based on the "As Time Goes By" theme, composed by Mallery himself. It wasn't used on any films as this was a "runner up" score. It is unknown if other runner up versions from other composers exist.
