'''Logo:''' An enhanced version of the 5th logo. Flying over a body of water, a {{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. | '''Logo:''' An enhanced version of the 5th logo.

'''Logo:''' We start in a beautiful landscape of a sea at sunrise as the water moves peacefully. A {{color|gold|yellow}} shiny ribbon then comes from the top-left corner of the screen, followed by another one at the right side and one in the bottom left. They move around each other, with two of them passing close by the camera until they, along with the camera, start ascending towards the sky. We pass through the clouds until we reach a point where the clouds are not visible anymore, and the three ribbons, along with two others that come from the left and right of the screen, start twisting and turning to form the hair in the famous symbol. Once the symbol is finished, they fly in different directions until they shorten and disappear. The yellow "{{color|gold|'''MEDUSA'''}}" text, in the same font at the 5th logo, appears zooming in from the bottom. After it slightly ascends and descends, it zooms towards us and reaches pretty close to the camera, causing it to turn dark yellow, until it zooms back and turns yellow again. After it zooms out to reach a comfortable spot below the symbol, both the symbol and text distance themselves from us and shine in a reddish-brown color, and the light rays pass from right to left. A shiny circle outline then starts to draw itself with two lines, starting in the top-left corner of the symbol and ending in the bottom-right of the text. After all of that happens, the sky turns into a bright morning sky and the circle, symbol and text turn 2D. The inside circle then turns black, and the Mediaset Group byline from the 5th logo wipes in below the text from right to left. The logo then shines and stays for a few seconds and fades to black. | '''Logo:''' We start in a beautiful landscape of a sea at sunrise as the water moves peacefully.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, lights shine and reveal a circular, horizon-like surface with a briefly-seen marble texture as they go from left to right, before they dim. The angle then changes to a wavy surface, also with that marble texture. Another angle is shown, where two curves twist towards each other, with a solid one being seen at the top, all organized in a familiar fashion. The angle finally changes to one showing the curves forming the hair in the Medusa symbol, complete with the eyes already formed underneath, all still in the marble texture. The curves all twist themselves to rest in their position, before the lights dim and a fully-formed Medusa logo (in a similar fashion to the 5th logo, albeit with darker texture and further away from the camera) is revealed from the darkness. The logo slightly shines all around. | '''Logo:''' On a black background, lights shine and reveal a circular, horizon-like surface with a briefly-seen marble texture as they go from left to right, before they dim.
