Nickname: "Emerging CW"
Logo: We see a close-up of an object emerging from the floor. As we cut to another shot of the object, we see that it is the letters in The CW logo that are emerging. We cut to another close-up of the logo before finally cutting to the fully formed logo.
Variants:
- This ID's background can be dark green, light blue, purple or red.
- For shows by DC Entertainment, after the main animation finishes, we see a transition with the letters "CW" into that show's DC logo.
FX/SFX: The CW logo emerging.
Music/Sounds: Sparkling sounds, and a 4-note synth jingle accompanied by 3 low string notes.
Music/Sounds Variants:
- Sometimes, the synth jingle plays earlier than usual.
- For DC shows, the sound effects from the DC logo's variant are heard on the DC logo while The CW jingle plays over.
Availability: No longer current. Seen before the start of programming on The CW from 2017 to October 2021 and as a pre-roll bumper on streaming prints of The CW content.

.PNG){kind=logo}

FX/SFX: The CW logo's layers flipping.
Music/Sounds: Same as the previous ID, but with a whoosh sound.
Availability: Brand new. Seen before the start of programming on The CW since October 10, 2021 and as a pre-roll bumper on online streaming prints of The CW content.
