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 cloud background, 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. | ||

* A somewhat enhanced WB shield can be seen on ''NASCAR 3D: The IMAX Experience'', ''Clash of the Titans'', ''Deep Sea 3D'', ''Under the Sea 3D'', ''Hubble 3D'', ''Born to Be Wild 3D'', and 3D international releases of ''Beowulf''.

* A version of the logo exists in which Bugs Bunny walks from the shield, does a Vanna pose, and eats a carrot. This version was used for Warner Bros. Family Entertainment for a short time in 2005. | * A version of the logo exists in which Bugs Bunny walks from the shield, does a Vanna pose, and eats a carrot. This version was used for Warner Bros.

* Starting with ''Dolphin Tale'' in 2011, the logo has been enhanced. The shield is sleeker, the banner is shinier, the byline is {{color|orange}}-{{color|gold|yellow}}, and the animation revealing the shield has more detail. Some films like ''The Dark Knight Rises'', ''Gangster Squad'' and most foreign films released by the company at the time used the 2003 version, with the last film overall using that version being the Chinese film ''Zhongkui: Snow Girl and the Dark Crystal'', released in 2015. The shield rotating was reanimated as the rippling animation is zoomed in. In the scope version, it's zoomed in even more. | * Starting with ''Dolphin Tale'' in 2011, the logo has been enhanced.

After the lot "ripples" the redesigned WB shield comes into view fully upright unlike the preceding and succeeding logos and as it settles into place the clouds in the distance fade to black. "a '''Warner'''Media company" fades in below the shield in a modified AT&T Aleck Sans font. | ||

* In the 2021 film ''Space Jam: A New Legacy'', the still version of the logo without the WarnerMedia byline is shown on a boardroom monitor at the end of the Warner 3000 pitch, with a different shield animation at the end, transitioning into the same logo as shown above. The same studio lot shown in the logo was also shown during the scene leading into the Warner Bros. Serververse. The cloud background in the logo (with the WB shield covered up by windows) was used as the desktop background in a Dell monitor on the Warner Bros. executive's (played by Sarah Silverman) computer. Furthermore, the entire studio lot made another appearance in ''A Hollywood Christmas''. | * In the 2021 film ''Space Jam: A New Legacy'', the still version of the logo without the WarnerMedia byline is shown on a boardroom monitor at the end of the Warner 3000 pitch, with a different shield animation at the end, transitioning into the same logo as shown above.

* As one can see the Steven J. Ross Theater on the WB studio lot, there is a missing detail on this where there is the text saying "{{Font|Times New Roman|WARNER BROS.
