Warner Bros logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Meaning and history The famous film production company has had many visual identity redesigns throughout its long history, though there were only four official versions of the emblem, not based on the iconic Warner Bros shield with a monogram.
- All other designs were just stylization of the original badge.
- 1923 – 1925 The very first logo of Warner Bros company boasted a traditional and elegant combination of the arched main wordmark in a bold serif typeface with all the letters capitalized, and a cursive “Classics of the Screen” tagline, executed in the same black colors and adding sophistication and finesse to the composition.
- It was a sleek white crest in a distinct black outline, with the building image on its top part, and a stylized “WB” monogram on the bottom.
- The arched “Warner Bros Pictures” wordmark was placed above the badge’s executed in all capitals of a custom narrowed font.
- 1933 – 1937 The lines of the badge were refined and the additional lettering was removed in 1933.
- Though the previous logo was still in use by the company, the new version was getting more and more popular.
- 1937 – 1967 The redesign of 1937 simplified the main composition, by making the letters cleaner and thinner, and the outline — composed of only one line, but added an arched banner with the long wordmark, crossing the crest in the middle.
- Now the body of the badge was composed of numerous thin horizontal stripes in monochrome, while the letters and the frame became thicker and gained a bolder outline.
- 1953 – 2019 The flat and bright version of the Warner Bros logo was introduced in 1953 and stayed with the company for more than sixty years, becoming the most recognizable of all its badges.
- It was a narrowed elegant crest with a black background and a thick white frame.
- 1967 – 1970 The company merged with Seven Arts in 1967, and the logo was redesigned in the same year.
- 1970 – 1972 The iconic “WB” crest came back in 1970, but in a new color palette — it was a red and gold combination, which looked sleek and elegant and showed the company from the new side.
- 1972 – 1990 Another experimental version of the Warner Bros visual identity was introduced in 1972.
- The badge, created by Saul Bass featured a solid black rounded background with a stylized white letter “W”, composed of three parallel diagonal lines with rounded angles.
- This emblem was used by the company for more than a decade.
- 1993 – 2019 The iconic crest was redesign in 1993.
- The lines of the letters and black frame were emboldened and the shield itself got slightly extended.
- As for the arched banners now it got a bit thicker and featured black as the main color of the background, with delicate while lettering in it.
- 2019 – Today In 2019 Warner Bros continued to use the emblem, created for the company in 1953, but changed its color palette to bright blue and white.
