Blue Ribbon Content

Background
Blue Ribbon Content is the digital series production unit of Warner Bros. Television that produces and distributes live-action and animated programming for online platforms. It was created in 2005 as "Warner Bros. Digital Distribution" and initially developed mobile games based on Warner Bros. properties until 2013. Between 2009-2013, the company also served as a subsidiary of Warner Premiere and started production of webseries. The BRC brand itself was launched in 2014.

(2007-2009)
Logo: On a white, black or a cloudy background, we see the usual Warner Bros. shield with the banner reading "Times New Roman".

Variant: On the Watchmen mobile game, the logo is made out of stone with its inside colored, being partially covered by shadows.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Appears on mobile games based on Warner Bros. and DC Comics properties.

Editor's Note: None.

(2009-2013)


Nicknames: "WP II", "The Digital WP"

Logo: Same as the 2007 Warner Premiere logo, but with "D I G I T A L" below.

Variant: On Peanuts Motion Comics, the logo is still.

FX/SFX: Same as the Warner Premiere logo.

Music/Sounds: Same as the Warner Premiere logo. On Peanuts Motion Comics, it's the ending theme.

Availability: Seen on many webseries on the Beyond the Lot YouTube channel, such as H+: The Digital Series, Peanuts Motion Comics, Terminator Salvation: The Machinima Series, The Adventures of One EskimO, Mortal Kombat Legacy, Aim High, and DC motion comics videos. The logo is intact on DVDs of those shows. Strangely, even after Warner Premiere went defunct in 2012, many shows continued to use this logo.

Editor's Note: None.

(2011-2013)
Logo: On a black background, thin light streaks create an electric WB shield with "Times New Roman" in black, which wipes on the banner from the left, as the background changes to a dark blue grid pattern. The finished product shines once.

Variants:


 * A sped-up version is shown on Mortal Kombat Legacy II. A still version was also found.
 * On H+: The Digital Series, TBA.

FX/SFX: The light streaks forming the shield.

Music/Sounds: A series of electronic swooshes.

Availability: Appears on certain titles on iOS and Android, such as Tapper World Tour and Midway Arcade. Also shown on the Machinima series Mortal Kombat Legacy II and the beginning of H+: The Digital Series.

Editor's Note: None.

1st Logo (2014-2017)
Nickname: "The Blue Ribbon"

Logo: On a background, we see a  colored ribbon. "BLUE RIBBON Content" and the TimeWarner byline is in it. A number date appears in the bottom right corner as well.

Trivia: The name and logo are a reference to the "Blue Ribbon" re-releases of older Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons during the 1950s.

Variants: This logo varies in colors depending on the show.


 * Play It Again, Dick: Orange background and blue ribbon.
 * Now We're Talking: Red background and blue and black ribbon.
 * Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicles: Red background and blue and red colored ribbon.
 * Ellen's Pet Dish: Blue background and yellow ribbon.
 * JoJoHead: Orange background and cyan and red ribbon.

FX/SFX: Just the logo slowly zooming in or none.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (July 17, 2017-2019)
Nickname: "The Blue Ribbon II", "Flashing Blue Ribbon"

Logo: On a concrete background, the same logo from before can be seen, but it appears to be a piece of paper. It constantly flashes between different color combinations, with subtle changes in lighting, camera positioning, and also the paper being damaged and repaired in a few shots.

Variants: TBA

FX/SFX: The logo flashing.

Music/Sounds: None or the ending theme of the show.

Availability: First seen on the infamous Play With Caution on Disney XD's short-lived D|XP block. Also seen on the second season of Now We're Talking on Go90, Daphne & Velma, Constantine: City of Demons, and Best Shot on YouTube Premium.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (March 21, 2019-)


Nicknames: "The Blue Ribbon III", "The Weird Blue Ribbon", "Pony Canyon's Younger Brother"

Logo: We see the words "BLUE RIBBON Content" against multiple claymation scenes including:
 * What appears to be a spaghetti monster with the logo forming in the middle.
 * A series of triangular mountains/pyramids, one with the all-seeing eye on it and the logo in the middle.
 * A deserted island with dancing palm trees and a pair of sunglasses on the ground. The logo appears in the middle of the sun.
 * A high stacked burger with the logo appearing in the middle as containers of mustard and ketchup appear either side and squirt briefly.
 * The summit of an active volcano with the logo inside the crater.
 * The face of a monster whose mouth opens to reveal the logo.
 * A cartoonish version of Earth with the logo on the earth, a la Universal.
 * A wave of color lines to form the finished product of the last two logos, which is blue and yellow ribbon.

Variants:
 * A more common slightly shorter variant exists, which it lacked the finished logo.
 * A short variant uses just a few of the scenes. What scenes appear depends on the show: on Critters: A New Binge, it goes like spaghetti monster, volcano, monster, and Earth.
 * On Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons, only the mountains/pyramids scene is shown.

FX/SFX: Everything, done with claymation. Done by McD Workshop.

Music/Sounds: A funky drum-driven piece or the closing theme of the show.

Availability: Current. First seen at the end of Critters: A New Binge on Shudder. Also seen on The Banana Splits Movie, Critters Attack!, the end of A Cinderella Story: Christmas Wish (the Warner Bros. Home Entertainment logo appears at the beginning), Toys of Terror, and Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons.

Editor's Note: The weirdness of the scenes may surprise a few, but it's a cool concept nevertheless. It is also reminiscent to the 1988 Pony Canyon logo, hence the nickname.
