'''Availability:''' Near extinction. Most current prints of films released during this period are plastered by any of the newer Gaumont logos (mainly the 9th and 10th ones). It is surprisingly intact on the TeleMünchen German DVD of ''LeGuignolo'', and it can be found on the film ''Violette & François'', which can be found on YouTube (albeit with the first half of the logo cut off and the second half's beginning plagued by VHS artifacts). It can also be seen on ''La Foiles Des Grandeurs''.

'''Editor's Note:''' None.
'''Editor's Note:''' This logo is the main reason why most Gaumont logos are hard to find, and this plastering monster just has barebones effort put in. Not as annoying as other logos that do a worse plastering job, but this still has an annoyance level.

'''Availability:''' Uncommon. The full version can be seen on the director's cut of ''Léon: The Professional'' (the original U.S. release print replaced it with the Columbia Pictures logo), ''Just Visiting'', ''Me Myself I'', and international prints of ''The Fifth Element''. In the U.S., the short version appeared as a logo for Gaumont Multimedia on the animated series ''Sky Dancers'', ''Dragon Flyz'', ''Space Goofs'', ''The Magician'', and ''Oggy and the Cockroaches''. This does not appear on more recent episodes of the latter series, instead being replaced by the Xilam logo. This also plasters older Gaumont logos on recent prints of their films, such as ''My Father's Glory''.

'''Logo:''' We start on a black BG, then blue haze rises above a horizon, similar to an eclipse, with fireflies flying about. We seen see a silhouette of a boy walking from the distance and stops at a silhouette of a daisy. The boy then bends down and picks up the daisy, then stands back up and lets go of it. The boy then looks up as we travel to the daisy, which comes closer to the screen. The daisy turns colorful and flashes again, turning into the Gaumont logo similar to the previous logo, but more detailed and in 3D. The background changes into a detailed zooming space BG. The Gaumont logo shines and fades out.
