Closing Logo Group

Background: Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment is a game division of the Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group, founded in 1993 as "Warner Bros. Consumer Products". In 1995, it was renamed to its current name, "Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment". Its first game as WBIE was Batman Forever, which was released for SNES, Sega Genesis, Game Boy, Game Gear, and PC. Its subsidiary, Warner Bros. Games, is its major publishing unit. In 2020, WBIE merged all operations into WBG, though the latter does use the old WBIE branding now and then.

Warner Bros. Consumer Products[]

(1993-1995)[]

Logo: On a black or blue background, we see the normal Warner Bros. shield, but the banner over it reads "CONSUMER PRODUCTS". Above the shield is "Under License By".

Variants:

  • On Demolition Man for 3DO, the inside part of the WB Shield is black.
  • On Porky Pig's Haunted Holiday, there is a shadow behind the logo. Plus, the shield is stretched vertically.
  • Sometimes, "UNDER LICENSE BY" is in all capital letters.
  • On Sylvester and Tweety in Cage Capers, the logo is shown with the Time Warner Interactive logo (without the Time Warner Eye).
    • The beta version had them do the same thing, only it was the Sega logo on a purple background.
  • A promo has the shield flying to the center on a blue "water-like" background.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None or the opening theme of the game.

Availability: Appears on Demolition Man for 3DO. Also can be seen on Looney Tunes games through the era, like Looney Tunes B-Ball and Speedy Gonzales: Los Gatos Bandidos for Super Nintendo and Sylvester and Tweety in Cagey Capers for Genesis.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment[]

1st Logo (1995-2010)[]

Logo: Same as the WB Consumer Products logo, but the logo is brighter and shinier, the background is usually black or white, and the banner instead reads "INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT". In the logo, seven little sparks are seen on the shield.

Variants:

  • Sometimes, like the WB Consumer Products logo, "Under License by" appears above along with its copyright information below.
  • There is an animated version in which the logo zooms in on The Flintstones Bedrock Bowling. The shield is noticeably smaller than the banner.
  • On Game Boy Color games, the copyright info sometimes appears below.
  • There is a black and white variation on Batman Forever for Game Boy.
  • On Tom and Jerry: Mouse Hunt for Game Boy Color, the logo is lighter and the background is blue, and in the background, we hear an 8-bit version of the theme song of The New Tom and Jerry Show.

FX/SFX: The zoom-in on the animated version.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the game, or none. The animated version features an opera-like chord ending with a "ding".

Availability: Common. Can be seen on WBIE games since 1995, except for Looney Tunes: Space Race and the Dreamcast version of Wacky Races.

2nd Logo (November 16, 2001-2010)[]

Logo: On a black background, several sparks fly in a dark Warner Bros. shield without the banner before they swirl around and cause the screen to flash, then die down to reveal the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment print logo. The logo "shines".

Variants:

  • On Batman: Vengeance, the logo is still, and "Under License by" can be seen above it.
  • On Scooby-Doo games, a copyright notice is seen below the logo as it animates.
  • On some games, an extended version is seen where two sparks fly across the shield first, then the rest of the animation plays, although extended, delaying the music.

FX/SFX: Sparks flying, forming the logo.

Music/Sounds: A mysterious string/horn/orchestral tune.

Music/Sounds Variant: On the PlayStation 2 version of Scooby-Doo: Mystery Mayhem, the music comes in a bit early.

Availability: Common. Seen on several games, such as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and the Xbox version of Scooby-Doo: Night of 100 Frights.

3rd Logo (November 11, 2003-2010)[]

Logo: Same as the Warner Bros. Pictures logo used on the Looney Tunes: Back in Action teaser trailer, except "INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT" replaces "WARNER BROS. PICTURES".

Variant: On the GBA and the Nintendo DS game of Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix, the logo is still.

FX/SFX: The logo flashing and zooming in.

Music/Sounds: It used to have the same music from the Looney Tunes: Back in Action teaser trailer, until then using a creepy and dramatic tune with a choir and some horns. Other times, a flash is heard, followed by deep whooshing.

Availability: Occasionally seen in games, mainly those based on well-known movie licenses. It is known to be on Looney Tunes: Back in Action, Superman Returns, Batman Begins, Constantine, Wacky Races: Crash and Dash, Codename: Kids Next Door – Operation: V.I.D.E.O.G.A.M.E, Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe, and Friends: The One with All the Trivia.
