Estetiken i det hela faller dock inte internets mer kräsna film- och designnördar i smaken, och logotypen har redan mötts av hån och kritik i sociala medier. Variety nämner att det inte är den slutgiltiga loggan, men det stoppar varken lustigkurrar eller häpna kommentarer.
"Jag är glad att Hollywood anammar en anspråkslös metod och spenderar noll dollar på att döpa sitt nya varumärke medan man använder en gratis clipart-CD med Windows 95 för att designa loggan", lyder en kommentar.
I’m just glad to see Hollywood embracing an austere vibe and obviously spending $0 dollars coming up with a name for the combination of Warner Bros. and Discovery while using a free clipart CD with Windows 95 to design the logo. pic.twitter.com/fbk1dPZw2k

I feel like the new Warner Bros. Discovery logo is trying to go for cult status with this one pic.twitter.com/G7a8Efdtti

I saw this new Warner Bros Discovery logo in a tweet and assumed it was a joke... But no. It's real. Both companies have good logos currently but somehow the best they could do combined was WordArt?

Did this merger happen in 1998? pic.twitter.com/QJ51wBw3SE
Dear @warnerbros - Is "Warner Brothers Discovery" really your best idea for renaming the company? Seriously? That's the extent of your top shelf creativity? pic.twitter.com/goVgj8DbbZ

I don't mind the name "Warner Bros. Discovery." What I mind is that "logo" that the Animaniacs would no doubt have a field day writing a song about.

The graphic design on the new Warner Bros. Discovery logo is truly godawful compared to the WB classic shield. https://t.co/O4pvV9SUQr
