    • Variant #3 has the shield on a cloudy background, with the banner saying "WARNER BROS. TELEVISION PRODUCTION UK".
  • The 2014 prototype has the same differences as the Warner Bros. International Television Production variant.
  • A scope variant of the logo exists.

Technique: 2D animation designed by Winbush Immersive.

  • It can be seen on an episode of the Indian sitcom Tedi Medi Family.
  • The scope variant was only used for a sizzle reel.
