It’s so weird how the WB shield came back, given I grew up with the Saul Bass “w,” (because in the 1970s, movie studios were convinced that minimalism would never age badly)

Nostalgia, tradition, the iconography, the shield couldn’t stay gone permanently it was lodged into too many heads for that.

The 1960s of those design choices just sit on your chest and pummel you, don’t they?

There is a conscious arty quality about them. Had MST3K ever riffed more from that era I hoped that might be a joke or even a skit about redesigned logos with the Host and the Bots showing redesigned moons but not knowing why. Wink, wink. :wink:

That 1948 logo is from Hitchcock’s Rope (1948). I’m sure of it.

I’m one of the people who grew up with the 1984 shield. The shield today IMO looks bland.

The new MGM lion is even worse. Digital lion? Really? Just keep the old one.

I mean… If they should’ve just kept the old lion but at the same time kept the current Ars Gratia Artis arch, then it’s completely fine.

72-84 is still the GOAT. I like the 75th Anniversary as well since it at least moves.

Can’t look at the black, white and red one without hearing Holiday Road by Buckingham.
