The WB IDs

Background
The WB was Warner Bros. and Tribune Broadcasting's attempt at a major network. Like UPN, it was formed from six independent stations owned by Tribune Broadcasting. From 2001-2003, Turner Broadcasting System owned a majority stake in The WB. The WB ceased operations in 2006 along with Viacom's network, UPN (later owned by CBS Corporation), and both networks merged to form The CW.

1st ID (January 11, 1995)
Logo: In the night sky on the Warner Bros. Studios lot. We see Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck (both voiced by Jeff Bergman) talking about who might pull the switch to start the new network. Daffy later answers Bugs that he might do it. The camera pans right to see Chuck Jones drawing Michigan J. Frog. After Chuck does his famous signature, Michigan (voiced by Jeff McCarthy) smiles at him while he leaps out of the painting and turns on the switch to reveal the WB sign which features the letters "WB" from WB's shield logo with "THE" in blue. Michigan later stands on Chuck's shoulder. He greets Michigan with "What's up, frog?" and Chuck turns forward and smiles at the audience while Michigan does his famous cakewalk dance.

Trivia:
 * Until the 2003-04 season, The WB's original branding was actually set in the Warner Bros. lot during the night with neon signs for The WB's shows (which gradually added throughout the years) as well as a neon sign for Kids' WB! (when it launched during the fall of 1995).
 * Michigan J. Frog (who was first appeared in the 1955 Merrie Melodies short One Froggy Evening) was the network's mascot from January 11, 1995 to July 22, 2005.
 * Michigan would appear in almost every promo for the WB during that era either promoting about shows on the network, singing about sponsor tags that appeared during commercial breaks for the WB's shows among many others until 1998.

Technique: A hybrid of 2D and live-action. Michigan J. Frog in this ID was animated by Chuck Jones and filmed in Warner Bros. Studios, Burbank.

Music/Sounds: An abbreviated version of The WB's fanfare (which features the first few lines of "Hello! Ma Baby", which became the network's theme song until the 1997-98 season) as well as the arrangement for the WB's version of said song (which was used on idents where Michigan would sing several verses during several promos promoting shows for the network among others) playing after that.

Availability: Rare. This was seen on the network's launch on January 11, 1995.

2nd ID (January 11, 1995-1998)
Logo: In a night sky, we the WB sign but with the lights turned off, Michigan J. Frog, who wears a black top hat and cane, rises up as he sings "The WB!", which causes the letters to light up to the top.

Technique: Same as the 1st ID.

Music/Sounds: At the beginning of the ID, we hear the sound of an orchestra warming up accompanied by the conductor clicks his baton four times and a ding; with the people chatting and crickets chirping. Michigan J. Frog singing "The WB!" in a long, baritone manner as the letters light up. After Michigan's song, we also hear the sound of the people cheering.

Availability: Rare. This ident was seen sporadically during the WB's first few years until the 1997-98 season.
