PICTURES'''}}". | ||

** On the 75 Years montage intro, a version exists where a copyright stamp "©Warner Bros. 1998" (uppercased in the Warner Bros. banner with a space between the copyright stamp "© WARNER BROS., 1998" and the company name) fades in with the Time Warner Entertainment byline (a la the 1997 [[Universal Pictures]] logo). This appears in both 4:3 and scope. | ** On the 75 Years montage intro, a version exists where a copyright stamp "©Warner Bros. 1998" (uppercased in the Warner Bros. banner with a space between the copyright stamp "© WARNER BROS., 1998" and the company name) fades in with the Time Warner Entertainment byline (a la the 1997 [[Universal Pictures]] logo).

This version would stay the same until it was reanimated once again in 2011 (not counting the changes in bylines and color grading). | ||

* 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''. The animation revealing the shield is quicker, the flash reflection on the banner when the shield is revealed is not as bright, the lens flare are different, the inside of the shield is a {{color|dodgerblue|brighter blue}}, the banner around the shield is shinier, the cloud background is further back, and the shield zooms out further more. This version was most likely made to accommodate primarily the 3D and 15/70 IMAX formats. | * 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''.

The shield is sleeker, the banner is shinier, the byline is 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. | ||
