Variants:

• An in-credit text variant exists, which is used for shows or TV movies that would say "WARNER BROS. INTERNATIONAL TELEVISION DISTRIBUTION".
• Sometimes, the banner would say "INTERNATIONAL TELEVISION".
• In Code Name: Eternity, a version with sky blue background is used. Some episodes have this logo stretched.

• A second prototype from 2014 also exists, where the W and B letters are smaller and the banner text is sticking out of the banner. The trademark symbol is also missing.
• On BingoLotto, a copyright stamp in white is tacked on the logo.
• An in-credit variant exists, which is used on some shows.
• An extended version can be spotted in the seventh season of SuomiLOVE, lasting one to two seconds more than usual. The shield is also freeze-framed.
• On Man in Room 301, a scope variant of the logo is used. The logo is also darker than usual.

Technique: 2D digital animation designed by Winbush Immersive.

Audio: The 2003 WBTV theme, the end theme of the show, or none.

Availability:

• The logo debuted as an in-credit variant on RTÉ's My Best Shot in Ireland, and has appeared in various shows since, such as Suden hetki in Finland.
• The regular logo can be spotted on The Bachelor New Zealand, The Bachelor Australia, Game of Games, The Celebrity Apprentice Australia, as well as a few other shows.
• The logo has also been used in tandem with the third, fourth and fifth logos since 2020.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The 2003 WBTV theme.

  • Sometimes, this variant has a freeze-frame at the end, that lasts about a second which also exists.
