- Variant #3 has the shield on a cloudy background, with the banner saying "WARNER BROS. TELEVISION PRODUCTION UK".
The 2014 prototype has the same differences as the Warner Bros. International Television Production variant.
A scope variant of the logo exists.

Technique: 2D animation designed by Winbush Immersive.
