1st (known) Logo (1989-January 10th 2003)

• 
• 
• 

  the Italian trailer of Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994)

• 
• 

Logo: On the blue sky with clouds background is the WB shield with "WARNER BROS ITALIA" in the banner. Then "PRESENTA" (or sometimes Distribuzione) fades in below.

Variant: There is a 2.35:1 scope version of this logo.

FX/SFX: The zoom out and the text fading.

Music/Sounds: Usually silent, the film's opening theme, or the 80s WB fanfare.

Availability: Extremely rare. Was seen on WB films released in Italy. Most current releases use U.S domestic prints, so this is long gone for the most part. However, it can still be spotted on some WB Italian productions such as I Mitici.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd (known) Logo (2002-????)

Logo: We fade in to a revised version of the blue sky with clouds background; in the foreground stands the WB shield with the words "WARNER BROS. ITALIA" in a slightly condensed font on the banner. The words "DISTRIBUZIONE" or "PRESENTA" would appear in a crystalized font below.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: Usually, this logo would be silent, or would have the film's opening theme play over it.

Availability: Extremely rare. It may have been seen on WB films released in Italy, but many prints that were made after their theatrical release used standard domestic prints. Also, it may have appeared on Italian WB productions, but they were issued on DVD with the standard Warner Bros. logo of the time. The logo has, however, surfaced on a print of Perdutoamor (A Sicilian Dream) on Amazon Prime Video.

Editor's Note: This logo has been the subject of criticism from a number of logo fans after its discovery; many of them believe it is a cheap logo whose appearance suggests a remake designed in Blender.
