'''Availability:''' Rare. It can be found on some old Italian films, such as ''Il tifoso, l'arbitro e il calciatore'' and ''Pierino contro tutti''. You might also find this on original Italian prints of non-Italian films they distributed, such as ''First Blood'' (known simply as ''Rambo'' in Italy).

'''Nicknames:''' "Gold Filmstrip Medusa IV", "CGI Filmstrip Medusa IV", "Hidden Medusa III"
 
'''Logo:''' An enhanced version of the 5th logo. Flying over a body of water, a {{Font color|gold|golden}} ribbon flies in producing sparkles. While the camera flies upwards, another ribbon comes in and intertwines with the other ribbon (a small light can be seen in the distance). When the ribbon flies upwards into the clouds, the camera goes with it and sparkles follow along. Many more ribbons then appear in the mass and start to form the Medusa hair from the previous few logos, while the letters in "MEDUSA" fade and rotate in one by one. The eyes then flash in with the halo and the byline "MEDIASET GROUP". As it zooms out a bit, the space inside the halo fades to black and the entire logo shines, and the end result is similar to the 5th logo, except that the background is still a cluster of stars.
 
'''FX/SFX:''' Same as the 5th logo.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' A more soothing piano and string arrangement of the 5th logo's fanfare, with sparkly hissing sounds for the ribbons.
 
'''Availability:''' Current.
 
'''Legacy:''' This is a pretty worthy successor to the 5th logo.
