Warner Bros. Pictures Animation/Logo Variations

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum


These are the logo variations seen throughout the years by Warner Bros. Pictures Animation (formerly Warner Animation Group), with more to be added overtime.

The LEGO Movie franchise:

  • The LEGO Movie (2014) and The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part (2019): The film's variant of the 1998 Warner Bros. Pictures logo, created with Lego bricks, flips around to reveal this logo, which is otherwise static until being pulled up off-screen by a string, transitioning to the Village Roadshow Pictures logo from a black base plate, representing the background leading into the opening scene.
    • For The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part (2019), the company's name is in uppercase and the TimeWarner byline is replaced with the WarnerMedia byline. The black strings are also replaced with white strings. The Village Roadshow Pictures logo is also omitted, instead replaced by a black background that starts the movie.

  • The Master (2016 short): The logo is made out of Lego bricks again, but it has the word "Presents" below it and zooms into it to start the short. As a running gag, it appears several more times throughout the short, getting progressively more destroyed. By the end of the short, it's barely hanging by a single string and has a massive hole blown through it, although the word "Presents" was dropped.

  • The LEGO Batman Movie (2017): The regular logo is tinted in bluish-grey.
  • The LEGO Ninjago Movie (2017): The logo animates in the style of 1950s-1970s Hong Kong film studio logos.


Smallfoot franchise:

  • Smallfoot (2018): An icy cloud blows into the Warner Bros. Pictures logo, which freezes into ice before shattering outwards into this logo, which turns blue and blows away into dust after a few seconds. This was done by Sony Pictures Imageworks.

  • Super Soozie (2018 short): The logo is done in a hand-drawn style, with "Presents" next to it in a handwritten font, all on a white background. Also, the red interior of the shield is omitted.

Scoob! (2020):

  • This was the final film to use the 1998 WB logo and to use the 2016 WAG shield with the 2018 WarnerMedia byline. The regular variant of the logo pans down into the opening scene at Venice Beach. Notable is that it is actually the only appearance of the regular version of this logo. Alongside the 1999 Warner Bros. Pictures fanfare that was used in the WB part, the music in the WAG part is "California Love" by 2Pac ft. Dr. Dre. This was done by Reel FX Animation Studios.


Tom & Jerry (2021):

  • This was the first film to use the 2021 WB logo and to use the logo with the 2019 WarnerMedia byline. The 2021 variant of the Warner Bros. Pictures logo flips around to reveal the new logo, before panning down into New York for the opening credits, just like the Scoob! variant. Also, the logo has slightly more cream-colored, morning sky-style clouds, and the byline is harder to see as a result. The music is an instrumental version of "Can I Kick It?" by A Tribe Called Quest.
