1st Logo (January 1995-2010)

Logo: Same as the last logo, but the logo is brighter and shinier, the background is usually black or white, and the banner instead reads "INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT". In the logo, seven little sparks are seen on the shield.

Variants:

  • Sometimes, like the WB Consumer Products logo, "Under License by" appears above along with its copyright information below.
  • On Space Jam, the logo appears on a space background. Plus, it flies away causing the Acclaim and Sculptured Software logos to appear.
  • There is an animated version in which the logo zooms in on The Flintstones Bedrock Bowling. The shield is noticeably smaller than the banner.
  • On Game Boy Color games, the copyright info sometimes appears below.
  • There is a black and white variation on Batman Forever for Game Boy.
  • On the PlayStation version of Batman & Robin, the Batman logo turns into the WB Interactive Entertainment shield in blue, and in the background, smokey clouds are seen on the shield. Then it turns into the DC logo, the Acclaim logo, and then the Probe Entertainment logo.
  • On Batman Forever: The Arcade Game, the logo is blue on a dark blue background. Then it fades to the DC logo, the Acclaim logo, and of course, the Iguana Entertainment logo.
  • On Tom and Jerry: Mouse Hunt for Game Boy Color, the logo is lighter and the background is blue, and in the background, we hear an 8-bit version of the theme song of The New Tom and Jerry Show.
  • On the Game Boy Advance version of The Polar Express, it is snowing in the logo.

Technique: The zoom-in on the animated version.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the game, or none. The animated version features an opera-like chord ending with a "ding".

Availability: Common. Can be seen on WBIE games since 1993, except for Looney Tunes: Space Race and the Dreamcast version of Wacky Races.

2nd Logo (2001-2010)

Logo: On a black background, several sparks fly in a dark Warner Bros. shield without the banner before they swirl around and cause the screen to flash, then die down to reveal the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment print logo. The logo "shines".

Variants:

  • On The Matrix games, the logo is in a green tint, and zooms towards the screen after it finishes.
  • On Lego Batman: The Video Game, the logo has a ghostly green color and is integrated into a city building.
  • On Batman: Vengeance, the logo is still, and "Under License by" can be seen above it.
  • On Scooby-Doo games, a copyright notice is seen below the logo as it animates.
  • On some games, an extended version is seen where two sparks fly across the shield first, then the rest of the animation plays, although extended, delaying the music.

Technique: Sparks flying, forming the logo.

Music/Sounds: A mysterious string/horn/orchestral tune.

Music/Sounds Variant: On the PlayStation 2 version of Scooby-Doo: Mystery Mayhem, the music comes in a bit early.

Availability: Common. Seen on several games, such as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and the Xbox version of Scooby-Doo: Night of 100 Frights.

3rd Logo (2003-2010)

Logo: Same as the Warner Bros. Pictures logo used on the Looney Tunes: Back in Action teaser trailer, except "INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT" replaces "WARNER BROS. PICTURES".

Technique: The logo flashing and zooming in.

Music/Sounds: It used to have the same music from the Looney Tunes: Back in Action teaser trailer, until then using a creepy and dramatic tune with a choir and some horns. Other times, a flash is heard, followed by deep whooshing.

Availability: Occasionally seen in games, mainly those based on well-known movie licenses. It is known to be on Looney Tunes: Back in Action, Superman Returns, Batman Begins, Constantine, Wacky Races: Crash and Dash, Codename: Kids Next Door – Operation: V.I.D.E.O.G.A.M.E, Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe, and Friends: The One with All the Trivia.
