Should we delete this?

I'm talking about the image. This logo looks fake. Chiagozie Elobuike (talk) 18:26, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's from the Warner Bros. 100 logo on their main page. BilCat (talk) 02:14, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm talking about the image. The image consists of the 2022 Warner Bros. Discovery shield, but below is the 2019 Warner Bros. wordmark. Chiagozie Elobuike (talk) 00:36, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It would have helpful if you'd explained that in the first place. But anyway, the file is on Commons, so it would have to be deleted there, and I don't know if it would be. BilCat (talk) 02:14, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The WB International TV logo has begun using the new shield and text, and "The Flash" trailer used it for the WB Pictures division, so it's on its way to becoming the new WB logo overall. HM2021 (talk) 19:14, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

... VictorPinas17 (talk) 14:15, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I guess we shouldn't delete it since it's the official logo. Chiagozie Elobuike (talk) 17:39, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Warner Bros. Animation

This article mentions Warner Bros. Pictures Animation, but not Warner Bros. Animation. Jstewart2007 (talk) 03:13, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The edit warring over the Warner Bros. logo

I noticed the edit warring in recent days on the article over what is the correct Warner Bros. logo.

It's obvious what's going on if you look at the Web site of Warner Bros. and the Web site of Warner Bros. Discovery.

The former is still using the 2019 logo. The latter uses the new 2023 logo for both itself and its link to the Warner Bros. web site.

What's probably going on is that the new parent company probably intends to make Warner Bros. adopt its logo at some point, but Warner Bros. hasn't done it yet because it takes a lot of time and money to redesign document templates, Web sites, and signs. Signs in particular are expensive. And keep in mind that Warner Bros. is shorthanded at the moment due to their massive layoffs. Whenever companies have layoffs, it's common for Web sites and other marketing materials to get stale and out-of-date because the remaining employees tend to focus on operational issues.

So the correct approach is to stay with the 2019 logo in this article until Warner Bros. updates its Web site and/or its physical signage to adopt the 2023 Warner Bros. Discovery logo. Coolcaesar (talk) 13:50, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Coolcaesar: If i'm not mistaken, the 2023 Warner Bros. logo already appeared physically at least two places: Warner Bros. Studio Tour in Burbank and the another one in Tokyo.^[1] This is how the new WB logo appeared physically. We also count the appearance of the new WBD logo at social media's pfp, such as WB Television (and its subsidiaries) social media pages, and WB Pictures Instagram page. Not only that, the new WB logo also appeared on-screen at two DC films for WB Pictures, and many programmes produced or distributed by WB International TV Production, as well as sizzle reel regarding the new Warner Bros. Logo. For me, the cause of edit warring regarding which the WB logos are correct is both 2019 and 2023 logos are officially used interchangeably since this year and both logos are technically correct, so, we can safely settle the edit warring by keeping the 2023 logo in the infobox (as their official corporate logo) while adding the 2019 logo (with wordmark) at the sections of Wikipedia page, giving the 2019 logo still presence at various properties like on-screen logo. 180.254.167.220 (talk) 23:54, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 19 February 2024

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

(The parentheses should also extend around the pronunciation spell-out; calling something a "classic mistake" also sounds like an opinion and a tiny bit condescending.)

(The original is a sentence fragment making no grammatical sense.)

Done but slightly reworded: Thank you for the well-formatted request. It is much-appreciated.

The 2023 WB shield is a secondary logo?

The updated shield is used as a secondary logo, and is used concurrently with the 2019 logo (which is the main and primary logo) since May 2023.

IMO, this argument is no longer relevant, because in fact, the updated shield (the 2023 logo) is taking over its role as the primary logo, while the 2019 Pentagram shield remains in use for secondary purposes such as its website's appearance and copyright tag for films (which slowly being phased out with the new 2023 WB Pictures horizontal logo with the banner/sash). If we see the WBD's official website (https://wbd.com/wp-content/themes/warner-bros-discovery-corporate/pdf/wbd-4q23-earnings-release-02-23-24.pdf), the new Warner Bros. Pictures/WB Television/Warner Horizon on-screen logo made by Devastudios, and the appearance of the new WB logo at many Studio Tours, that's the 2023 logo being used. Could we please change the sentences to reflect the current situations? 103.111.100.82 (talk) 04:50, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
