1983–1985[]

Walt Disney

This name was only used in live-action productions from WDP (under the Walt Disney Pictures name) at that time but animated productions continued to use the WDP name until 1983's Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore.

1985–2007[]

Walt Disney Pictures 1985

In 1985, WDP debuted a simplified castle logo mainly inspired by Disneyland's 30th anniversary logo from the year prior. The logo was first seen in that year's Return to Oz. The following year, Walt Disney Productions was renamed to The Walt Disney Company as part of a massive restructuring of the company. WDP's live-action and animation units were folded into a division known as The Walt Disney Studios while WDP's animation branch was later split out into Walt Disney Feature Animation. Though the current logo was introduced in 2006, this logo continued to be used on movie posters and other merchandising until it was completely retired by mid-2007, such as Ratatouille, and Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End for example.

Walt Disney Pictures logo

This logo was introduced on June 24, 2006, and made its first theatrical appearance on that year's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, and on Walt Disney Animation Studios films starting with Meet the Robinsons. However, the previous logo was still used on posters (as a print logo) until September 28, 2007. Although the logo was retired in 2011, it's still used on production files of Disney films, and as a secondary logo.

2011–present[]

Walt Disney Pictures 2011

Same as the previous logo, but it only had "Disney" below the castle. It was first introduced on 2011's The Muppets, used on Pixar films starting with Brave, and on Walt Disney Animation Studios films starting with Wreck-It Ralph which both released in 2012. Although a new on-screen logo was unveiled in 2022, honoring the company's 100th anniversary, this print logo is still in use.
