However, it has appeared at the start of the film The Jazz Singer, and was kept intact on the 75th Anniversary DVD as well as on the 1981 Magnetic Video release, where it's preceded by a United Artists 'Transamerica T' logo. 75th Anniversary trailer on 1998 Warner videos. Evidence of it was seen on a Warner Bros. Music/Sounds: None or a film's opening theme.Īvailability: Extremely rare. On The Jazz Singer (1927), it was superimposed on a marble-like BG. 2nd Closing Title: The second variant is the one you see in the 3rd photo.Above the books, we see the 'The End' in a small, fancy white script arched above a small 'A WARNER BROTHERS 'CLASSIC of the SCREEN'' text. For example, Beau Brummel (1924) had a BG with some books and two candles on both sides of the screen. But on some movies, the WB shield was omitted. Below the shield, we see 'A WARNER BROTHERS CLASSIC OF THE SCREEN' in big capital letters. The 'T' on 'THE' and the 'E' on 'END' are bigger than the other letters. 1st Closing Title: We see the words 'THE END' all in capitals on both sides of the WB shield, with 'THE' on the left and 'END' on the right.Starting in 1926 or so, it changed to 'PRODUCTION'.Ĭlosing Titles: There are two closing titles for this WB era: 'a WARNER BROTHERS' is above the shield (with 'WARNER BROTHERS' in an arc around the shield, a la the first Columbia logo), with 'CLASSIC of the SCREEN' below. The top part of the shield shows a picture of the original Warner studio in Hollywood, CA (now known as 'Sunset Bronson Studios'), the bottom having a squashed, stylized 'WB'.

Logo: On a background that looks like a forest, a large, bizarrely shaped shield is seen, with a very wide top. Nicknames: 'Brain Shield', 'Studio Shield', 'Brain WB Shield', 'The Early Shield'
