Warner Max

Background
Warner Max was a label of Warner Bros. Pictures, which released indie films to HBO Max. It was launched with HBO Max on 27 May, 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the label didn't meet its goal of 10-14 films in 2020, and was shut down in October of that year, with its slate being taken over by Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema.

1st Logo (2020)
Logo: The text "warnermax" fades in against a dark purple background with slight movement

FX/SFX: Just the text fading in. Nothing too extraordinary.

Music/Sounds: none

Availability: Rare. It was only seen on early releases by the label. It's likely this was just a placeholder for the next logo.

Editors Note: The visuals here are really lacklustre, especially compared to what comes next

2nd Logo (2020)
Logo: Against a purple background, two metal beams zoom out and rotate toward us, revealing that they are the letters "W" and "M", in the shape of the 2019 Warner Bros Shield. The Warner Max wordmark from the previous logo fades in, with the "max" sliding in from behind the "warner". the logo shines

FX/SFX: The Logo zooming and rotating, the text fading in. Simple, yet effective CGI.

Music/Sounds: A synth piece, revolving around a simple four note melody.

Availability: Rare. It only appeared on later Warner Max Releases, until the label was shut down.

Editors Note: The CGI here is much nicer than the 1st logo
