'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see a filmstrip, made into a letter "M". The text "MIRAMAX FILMS" in Optima is next to the "M" with "in association with" above.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see the text "MIRAMAX" in the Gill Sans Ultra Bold-like font. Below it is "FILMS", stretched to fit the width of "MIRAMAX", with a line on top and on the bottom of it.

'''Logo:''' An "{{color|blue|'''M'''}}" in the same font as before zooms out to the left of the screen and scrolls to the right, revealing "{{color|gold|'''MIRAMA'''}}", and when it gets to the end, it disappears in a flash of light, revealing an "{{color|gold|'''X'''}}". The word "FILMS" with its usual lines fades in below. A large "M" in black with a glowing {{color|blue}} corona surrounding it zooms out and borders the logo.

'''Logo:''' We zoom down a river, and pan up to see the skyline of Manhattan, New York, at sundown. As the sun sets, the lights in the building windows begin to turn on, just like in real life. As we zoom in closer to the buildings, several lights begin forming the company's print logo, simply in white (no glowy effects like last time). The city skyline fades to black as the logo forms, piece by piece, while zooming towards the center of the screen. The end result is similar to the 2nd logo.

===5th Logo (December 25, 2008-July 6, 2018)===

'''Logo:''' It's the same concept as the previous logo, but instead of the skyline, we pan up to see the Brooklyn Bridge at sundown. As the sun sets, we zoom towards the buildings until we finally get to the skyline of Manhattan. One difference of the skyline is that the World Trade buildings are gone (possibly due to 9/11). After we get to the city, the lights in the building windows begin to turn on. As we zoom slowly to the skyline, several lights begin forming the logo like before as we then fade to black, piece by piece.

'''Logo:''' We see three sets of {{color|blue}} light rings (2 of the "{{color|blue|'''R'''}}", and one of the first "{{color|blue|'''M'''}}", with the "{{color|blue|'''I'''}}" partially visible) at night in the Hudson Valley (a la the 3rd logo), soon followed by the company name, spread out, slowly coming together to form the logo, illuminating a city (possibly a bird's-eye view of New York) below. The respective byline fades in.
