And we have a new studio logo, well sort of: it is a new version of the 2021 opening logo, launched coinciding with the release of Wonka; it is virtually identical to the 2021 opening logo (including the rendition of the As Time Goes By fanfare by Ludwig Göransson, for now… more below), down to the fact it has been made by Devastudios (who also did the 2021 version), but the 2019 Pentagram shield has been replaced with a modernised version of the 1948/1984 shield design, adding a banner with the studio name including the WBD shield by Chermayeff & Geismar & Haviv), and the cold tones have been replaced with more muted, warmer shades.

This example has no sound as it has been extracted from a Devastudios Instagram reel showcasing the new animation, which was later posted to YouTube. Moreover, the Television logo has also been changed, introduced with S2E3 of Night Court:

In comparison, here’s the old version:

EDIT: Göransson’s rendition, although heard in Wonka in some territories, it will soon be superseded by a new rendition of the As Time Goes By fanfare. Already heard as a snippet in the WBTV logo, the new rendition (codenamed Classic Rendition) by Jacob Yoffee and mixed by Jason LaRocca, will inch closer to the original 1998 version and will be mixed in Dolby Atmos.

Sorry for only joining this forum today, but WB seems to specify the guideline regarding the 2023 logo regarding whether each division’s logo are bannerless or with the banner (or sash according to the official WBD guideline).

According to the guideline (Warner Bros. Brands | Warner Bros. Discovery Brand Guide), the main corporate Warner Bros. logo should be bannerless, meaning that no one could recreate the main WB logo with the banner unless they use it for more unofficial purposes. Futhermore, the WBD logo with the banner included are only used for 4 divisions (WB Pictures, WB Television, WB Games, and WB Pictures Animation), so all other divisions must be bannerless like the main WB logo although the bannerless logos for 4 divisions could be used for small-scale purposes and also for many corporate communications.

The font used in the logo is of course, a modified TT Norms Std Condensed Bold, which anyone called it Warner Bros. Bold Condensed (one of most favourite font used by Deviantart users to create WB logo’s parody).

Despite it, the 2019 logo isn’t likely to fully go away, because the 2019 logo could be used for more secondary purposes, like copyright stamps.
