* The 2023 shield was teased in an Instagram post from October 5, 2023, where the sheet music for Jacob Yoffee's arrangement of "As Time Goes By", entitled "Classic Reflection", depicted the new logo with a banner around it (much like the 1993-2019 print logo). It can be seen [https://www.instagram.com/p/CyBdvJdrmew here]. However, as it was accidentally announced early, it was temporarily set to private due to being a leak, then later set to public again. It was then set back to private. | * The 2023 shield was teased in an Instagram post from October 5, 2023, where the sheet music for Jacob Yoffee's arrangement of "As Time Goes By", entitled "Classic Reflection", depicted the new logo with a banner around it (much like the 1993-2019 print logo).

'''Technique:''' CGI by Devastudios, who also did the previous logo. The CG elements were re-rendered using the Academy Color Encoding System (ACES) color pipeline from the [[Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Production|Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences]] (AMPAS), while the texture of the studio's water tower was updated using the Substance 3D Painter from [[Adobe Systems|Adobe]]. Just like before, 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. A behind-the-scenes video on how this logo was animated can be viewed on [https://devastudios.com/work/logo/warner-bros-logo-2023-making-of/ Devastudios' website]. | '''Technique:''' CGI by Devastudios, who also did the previous logo.
