This hidden Warner Bros logo detail has sparked a fiery online debate
- Replies 2
Ah, the good old days of classic cinema and television. We may be biased, but we can't help appreciating the charm and impact of older films, especially in comparison to the modern blockbusters. One aspect that links us to the movies we grew up with is the iconic film studio logos that grace the screen before the story begins. One of these recently sparked a heated debate among a much younger generation.
In a recent video shared on the popular social media platform, film expert Alex Colemann, known as @alexcolemann, divided opinions after unveiling a little-known fact about the renowned Warner Bros logo. Colemann, an avid movie buff, highlighted that the renowned company often tailors its iconic 'WB' logo to match the theme of different films.
'This hidden Warner Bros logo detail has triggered a fiery debate among users,' read the title of a recent article detailing the controversy. Indeed, they seemed to have quite the opinion on the various logo renditions.
Among the examples Colemann presented were the custom Lego logo for the Lego movies and the Scooby-Doo movie logo, which had a charming dog bite taken out of it. He mentioned these little adjustments during a video where he ranked the best Warner Bros logos of all time.
Colemann said in the video, 'Because it [the logo] really does set the tone for the movie you are watching,' before sharing a few of his all-time favourites. These included a bedazzled gold WB logo for the 2022 film, Elvis, the logo for the Matrix films featuring green computer code, the Benjamin Button logo made of buttons, and even Aquaman's logo submerged underwater.
'I'm so happy that for the Lego movie, they literally just recreated the Warner Bros logo but made it all with Lego—and it even has the Lego clouds!' he added enthusiastically.

Colemann also took the time to pay special tribute to the logos at the beginning of each film in the Harry Potter series. He said, 'It is genuinely so genius that as we go from [Philosopher's Stone] through to the Deathly Hallows Part Two, the logo gets darker, representing how the tone changes and shifts as the movies go on in the franchise.'
But as these discussions tend to unfold, the video sparked an even larger debate. Online users wasted no time in naming their favourite logos and passionately demanded that more be included in the ranking. Predictably, Harry Potter fans were amongst the most vocal in supporting the logos from the beloved movies.
'Would've cried if Harry Potter wasn't on this list,' one user admitted. Others chimed in with their own logo favourites, such as 'Where's the Lego Batman Warner Bros logo. So we're all just going to forget it?' and 'What about the Conjuring movies?!!'
Paramount Pictures has also adopted the technique for several of its releases, including The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, Star Trek Beyond and Zoolander No. 2. For Sponge Out of Water, the original Paramount logo was given an overhaul to look like a colourful comic book version with SpongeBob himself emerging out of it, while for Zoolander, the logo was given a simplified and futuristic look.
Universal Pictures has also kept up with the trend, giving its logo a comical makeover for Minions, using the same logo in blue for Jurassic World and adding a touch of fun for its Sing release, as the colourful characters from the movie popped up to replace the studio’s logo.
These examples show how various movie studios have put some extra thought into their logos by customising it to suit the movie and have the right atmosphere for the film. Not only does it prove to be a fun way to start any movie, especially in the eyes of fans, but it also helps the filmmakers effectively communicate the tone and setting for their works.
Are there any particular custom Warner Bros logos that hold a special place in your heart? We encourage you to share your thoughts and contribute to the ongoing conversation. Let's keep the dialogue alive!

Examples of Logo Customisations Across Other Movie Studios
Many movie studios have followed Warner Bros’s lead and have given their logos special touches for individual films. Disney has been with the trend for many of their releases. For Cars 2 and Toy Story 4, the team created brand new logos that were in line with the themes of each movie—a car tyre inspired the former, and the latter was in the shape of a present.Paramount Pictures has also adopted the technique for several of its releases, including The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, Star Trek Beyond and Zoolander No. 2.
