Around halfway through, the words "'''WARNER BROS'''" (in a modified version of the Zarana typeface) appear below it as it zooms in. The {{color|red}} "W" overtakes the screen as a smaller white "W" zooms in. It stops in the middle of the screen, and a rounded black square fades in around the "W". The byline "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). | ||

The "Worms" nickname is attributed to an audio commentary for the film ''Gremlins'', which brought back the shield logo. The \\' logo was seen in several other shapes like a circle and a parallelogram, but these prototypes were scrapped. Although this logo has since been retired by the studio, it is still used by the now-unrelated Warner Music Group (formerly owned by Time Warner). | '''Trivia:''' The "Big W" was designed by the late Saul Bass, who also designed the [[Geffen Pictures]] "G" logo.
