'''Visuals:''' On a black background, a white rectangle fades into the center of the screen, as 3 copies of the text "'''LE STUDIO'''" (in a tall serif font), in {{color|hotpink|pink}}, {{color|dodgerblue|blue}}, and {{color|yellow}}, slide into the rectangle from the top, left, and right side of the screen at once, albeit at different speeds. When they all eventually meet in the center, the colors overlap into forming a mostly-{{color|grey}} color with hints of {{color|hotpink|pink}}, {{color|dodgerblue|blue}}, and {{color|yellow}} along the edges. Then, the Canal+ logo fades in black, lined up so that the "'''+'''" is within the "'''{{color|grey|O}}'''", and the wordmarks slowly fade out, leaving the rectangle.

'''Availability:''' This was primarily used at the beginning of French TV airings and French tapes of their catalog.

* The early version is found on ''The Undeclared War'' and ''Night on Earth''.

* Seen on Canal+ airings and French VHS releases of ''Basic Instinct'', ''The City of Fear'', ''Chaplin'', ''Le Retour de Casanova'', ''L.627'', ''Cayenne Palace'', and 'La Crise'', among other films.

'''Visuals:''' Same as the [[Canal+ Video]] logo (which is based on the Canal+ feature presentation ident of the time), but the Canal+ logo is replaced with a black bar. In the end, the words "LE STUDIO" and "CANAL+" are seen in the center, with "LE STUDIO" moved to the left. The square is to the left of "CANAL+".

'''Visuals:''' A comet flies across the screen, which slowly fades to {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} throughout the logo, with a few intermittent stars (a homage to the Canal+ feature presentation ident of the time) rotating along. As the comet passes over the screen, small stars start to flash and random numbers begin to appear in place of the flashes. A lightning bolt strikes from the right side of the screen into the middle of the screen, causing the numbers to disappear and a circular burst of "rain" to appear on the left side. Large white circles of varying sizes pop up all over the screen and disappear almost instantaneously, as well as more stars. Another lightning bolt hits the screen, filling the screen with fog for a frame before the source of the "rain" switches to the right side of the screen. The rain stops and white lines begin to appear all over the screen (once again disappearing instantly) as the letters for "'''ST'''<nowiki></nowiki>'''''UD'''''<nowiki></nowiki>'''IO'''<nowiki></nowiki>'''''CAN'''''<nowiki></nowiki>'''AL'''" appear haphazardly across the screen before disappearing just as quickly. A shooting star and a lightning bolt then appear at the same time and cross each other, and rain starts coming from all sides of the screen, as well as small white circles floating upwards. The entire screen then zooms in as sparkles of light encompass the screen, culminating in a cut to black for a frame, followed by a bright flash of white to reveal a black rectangle for a single frame, and then the StudioCanal logo appears as the screen shakes. The logo is the same as the previous logo, but the rectangles are now black and {{color|grey}} respectively, the logo glows with a radiant light border, and "'''''CAN'''''<nowiki></nowiki>'''AL'''" appears as a light quickly appears and dies down just as fast. Another light flash appears on the upper right corner, and a byline reading "'''''A CANAL''''' '''+''' '''''COMPANY''''''" appears quickly one-by-one in the lower right corner, with the Canal+ logo added.

* It is also seen on [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]]/[[Trifecta Entertainment & Media|Trifecta]] syndicated prints of ''Narrow Margin'', before the [[TriStar Pictures|TriStar]] and Carolco logos.

* This logo was also used as a de-facto VHS and DVD logo in France entitled [[StudioCanal Video]].

'''Visuals:''' A thin rectangle with an image of clouds inside appears in the center of a black background, and slowly grows so that it takes up the whole screen. The camera flies through the clouds and, after a few seconds, the StudioCanal logo (with the reflection of the clouds on it) appears, and the surrounding area fades to black when the logo turns flat.

* This logo first appeared as a custom variant on ''Irreversible'', before it was re-introduced with its normal version on ''18 ans aprés'' in 2003.

'''Variants:'''

* A seemingly unused package of variations from 2018 omits the mattes on top and bottom of the logo, and has the StudioCanal logo form through its letters as outlines rotating together, which then fill up with white. The result also lacks the rounded rectangle.

'''Audio:''' A strings, woodwind, and mallets-laden composition by Alexandre Desplat, somewhat reminiscent of his score from ''Girl with a Pearl Earring''.  

'''Availability:''' Seen on releases from the studio such as ''Non-Stop'', ''Paddington'' and ''The Commuter''.   

* It is also used as a de-facto DVD and Blu-ray logo in France, United Kingdom, Germany and Australia, and appears on many current prints of older titles, for instance, streaming copies of ''Escape from New York'' and ''Carnal Knowledge'' on Vudu.

* It is also seen at the start of the 3D version of ''Terminator 2: Judgment Day'' (1991), and also on new prints of the first three ''Rambo'' movies since 2018, when a 4K restoration from the original negative was released on Blu-ray and 4K UHD.

* It is also preserved on some current French television prints of [[Regency Enterprises|Regency]] and [[Spyglass Entertainment]] titles (as well as French digital prints of Spyglass titles), such as ''The Sixth Sense'', ''What Happens in Vegas'', ''Keeping the Faith'', ''Love and Other Drugs'' and ''Shanghai Noon'', among others.

* This logo was also seen on TV shows that it's units produced such as ''Ridley Road'' and ''Happy Valley''.

* This logo can also be seen on GKIDS's English dub of ''The Big Bad Fox and Other Tales''.

* This logo is also preserved on UK prints of post-2011 Studio Ghibli films on both DVD and Blu-ray.

* The in-credit variant is seen on ''Shaun the Sheep Movie'', ''Early Man'' and ''A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon'', respectively.

* This logo is also seen on the Mamoru Hosada film, ''The Boy and the Beast'', however, it is cut out on home media releases, mostly due to StudioCanal using authoring from the Australian releases from Madman Entertainment.

* This logo also does not appear at all on ''Johnny English Reborn'' (despite the company being mentioned in the credits) and it also does not appear on ''Mr Bean's Holiday'' either.

* The version with the Canal+ byline is also preserved at the start of a Sky Go New Zealand streaming print of ''Richard III'' (1955) before the 2013 [[ITV Studios Global Distribution|ITV Studios Global Entertainment]] logo.

* This logo can also be spotted on German theatrical and home media releases of ''Ladybug & Cat Noir: The Movie''.
