Background

Warner Bros. Entertainment Italia S.p.A is the Italian branch of Warner Bros.

1st Logo (1960)

Logo: On a cyan background, we see the WB shield in a lighter cyan with a black interior with the usual "WARNER BROS. PICTURES" banner from the American movie logo.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Ultra rare. Seen on World by Night.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1987-January 10, 2003)

Logo: On the blue sky with clouds background is the WB shield with "WARNER BROS ITALIA" in the banner. Then "PRESENTA" (or sometimes Distribuzione) fades in below.

Variants:

  • There is a 2.35:1 scope version of this logo.
  • A closing variant exists on DuckTales: Treasure of the Lost Lamp and Beauty and the Beast (1991), but not every known Disney film that they distributed.

FX/SFX: The zoom out and the text fading.

Music/Sounds: Usually silent, the film's opening theme, or the 80s WB fanfare.

Availability: Extremely rare. Was seen on WB films released in Italy. Most current releases use U.S domestic prints, so this is long gone for the most part. However, it can still be spotted on some WB Italian productions such as I Mitici. Also appears on Disney films that they released here, such as DuckTales: Treasure of the Lost Lamp and Beauty and the Beast (1991), until their deal with Disney expired.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (1999-2000s)

Logo: We fade in to a revised version of the blue sky with clouds background; in the foreground stands the WB shield with the words "WARNER BROS. ITALIA" in a slightly condensed font on the banner. The words "DISTRIBUZIONE" or "PRESENTA" would appear in a crystalized font below.

Variant: There is an early version of the logo where the sky backdrop is different with the clouds more reminiscent of cirrus types.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: Usually, this logo would be silent, or would have the film's opening theme play over it.

Availability: Extremely rare. It may have been seen on WB films released in Italy, but many prints that were made after their theatrical release used standard domestic prints. Also, it may have appeared on Italian WB productions, but they were issued on DVD with the standard Warner Bros. logo of the time. The logo has, however, surfaced on a print of Perdutoamor (A Sicilian Dream) on Amazon Prime Video.

Editor's Note: This logo has been the subject of criticism from a number of logo fans after its discovery; many of them believe it is a cheap logo whose appearance suggests a remake designed in Blender.
