To commemorate the 2023 centennial anniversary of the studio’s founding, Warner Bros. has unveiled a new logo featuring a streamlined version of the iconic “W.B.” shield, as reported by Deadline.
The new logo was revealed by Warner Bros. CEO Ann Sarnoff, who presented it on the Warner Bros. water tower.
“As we approached our centennial, we thought it was the right time to take a good look at our brand, what it stands for and the values it represents,” Sarnoff said at the event. “We know that a strong brand gives us not just a road-map but a sense of purpose. It puts our feelings of pride into words. And, it helps us communicate who we are to our employees, our creative and business partners, and our fans around the world.”
Warner Bros. also released a new version of its mission directives, which reads “To be the world’s leading creator and distributor of extraordinary entertainment by partnering with the world’s most inspiring storytellers”, as well as a brand position which reads “We believe in the power of story.”
“At Warner Bros., we have been telling stories and entertaining audiences for almost 100 years—but we don’t do it alone,” Sarnoff explained. “From the beginning, we’ve worked with the world’s best storytellers and helped them bring their visions to life. It’s their unique genius that connects and inspires us, that introduces us to new ideas, takes us to new places, and reshapes the way we see the world. They are the heart of everything we do.”
