Warner Home Video Logo History

[@masonwrigley875]

To be honest, I really love and adore the 1996 logo better, because it was childhood and nostalgic favorite of mine

How do you know that you are not the only thing that you don't understand when I downloaded?

[@masonwrigley875]

[@robjackson5245]

The late 80s home video logo used to scare me. Now it's too OG for me. That trumpet composition is lit!

[@trishcandow1]

[@MadameSomnambule]

Even more interesting is the fact it's based on a fanfare WB used in the 30s. Remaking a classic fanfare with electronic instruments, basically.

[@patrickmichaellangan576]

MadameSomnambule Warner’s did and still do today have to honor its past while also looking to the future. I guess that’s why they did what they did.

[@tennesseegaming4462]

Me too. (67%)

[@jasonroberts6590]

[@jdrs4214]

I like the WB studio reflective logo animation and the soft theme that comes with it. By far I think it’s the best one Warner Brothers ever made.

Logos like that tended to startle me as a little one. The f.h.e. one from the late 80s with its loud synth sure did whenever I wanted to watch Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Ironic how I'm kinda drawn to them now.

Yeah all Warner Bros. VHS releases from 1986 to 1996 had it. I think shitty "Twister" was the last one. The parent of UPN, son. More popular and the real Warner Bros. network not Tribune's crap.

[@TheHistorianKing]

I remember the 1986 - 1997 tune from the Batman 1989 VHS. It creeped me out but I liked it

[@robjackson5245]

It scared me more because of how industrial it looked. Now it's beastin' as fuck. If I had been exposed to UPN when I was very little, likely would have scared me too. Saw The WB (via WPIX The WB 11 cause I lived in the city of Brooklyn) and that logo didn't scare me. That "11" was an eyesore. Then I got exposed to the The WB logo. That's how I knew The WB had nothing in common with Warner Bros.. The former is Tribune's attempt to whiten WB. Another stupid lame logo. Even when I was a kid I knew UPN had more in common with Warner Bros. than The WB. I'm reviving UPN, which was more popular, and creating WB, a real Warner Bros. network.

Great video

[@SLBysusparidas]

I always wondered if Jerry Goldsmith composed the melody of the 1986 home video logo or something, because that tune plays at the beginning of Gremlins, when the WB logo appears and it fades giving pass to the movie itself (And connected to the movie soundtrack)

[@OkasiOtaku]

Its likely. I just watched Gremlins recently and noticed that tune.

[@Anikom15Live]

Max Steiner

[@Preeve]

That melody has been since around the 30's.

[@IgnatiusThorogood]

That fanfare was originally composed by Max Steiner in the 1930s. They re-recorded it for the Gremlins soundtrack because that was the first movie in a long time to use the original shield logo, as opposed to the Warner Communications logo, which was nominally silent. And I've noticed that recently, Warner has gone back and replaced THAT logo with their current one on DVDs and things.

[@robbiewales3007]

The logo that lasted until 1997 was one I've always remembered especially from watching Free Willy

[@StuntFan]

@Jon Thornton It was first used on a December 30, 1996 release, then on a March 11, 1997 release. Starting on March 26, 1997, it was used as a regular logo.

In fact , the 2nd logo have been released (i suppose) FIRST in Canada in 1985 . I suppose this because I have the Original 1985 (French Canadian) 1st pressing of ''Gremlins'' and the opening logo is this one and not the 1980-1985 (\\') logo . Even the cover have the WB shield logo .
