'''Logo:''' We start with the first five seconds of the 5th logo. Then, the pages fade into 3D images of various Marvel Studios characters accompanied by script text describing them (in order of appearance: Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Hulk, Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), Groot (Vin Diesel), Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Captain America (Chris Evans)), culminating with a shot of Captain America throwing his shield in ''Captain America: The First Avenger''. This segues into archival footage of Marvel Studios films from every phase being projected onto what is revealed after a camera fly-by to be the word "MARVEL" in its current logotype, now carved in a {{color|silver|silver}} rectangle (the footage can vary depending on the film). As the camera zooms out, the stock footage and background fade into solid {{color|red}} and two lines next to "MARVEL" expand outward to reveal the word "STUDIOS". The logo ends with a faintly visible shine. | '''Logo:''' We start with the first five seconds of the 5th logo.

'''Trivia:''' | '''Trivia:''' This logo was commissioned in January 2016 by Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios and the chief creative officer of Marvel. It was intended to celebrate the expansiveness and scope of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Like the 5th logo, some films have the prologue right before the logo. | ||

'''Music/Sounds:''' A heroic orchestral fanfare composed by Michael Giacchino.

He also composed the opening theme of ''Marvel Studios: Legends'' which uses the same notes of the ending part of the fanfare at the end. Also, he conducted the fanfare, as well as a special arrangement of the fanfare at his concert, ''Michael Giacchino at 50''. The Marvel Studios Suite part of the concert can be heard [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQZHq340aGM here]. A snippet of the fanfare is also heard when Kevin walks into the stage at the start of the D23 Expo Marvel Studios panel since 2017 and the San Diego Comic-Con since 2019, with the last part of the fanfare used in D23 Expo 2017 and and the first part of the fanfare used in D23 Expo 2019 and San Diego Comic-Con 2019. Also, the fanfare was used during the 2020 Disney Investor Day, transitioning from the generic music, in which the the last part is shorter than usual as the fanfare starts at the end of the Pixar panel. | ||

* Often times, the opening theme of the film/episode is heard. | |||
* The closing version of this logo is silent, except on ''Avengers: Endgame'', wherein we hear the sound of an Iron Man suit being hammered at the end of the credits as a callback to the first MCU film (''Iron Man''). This carries over to the black background with text saying "Distributed by WALT DISNEY STUDIOS MOTION PICTURES". | |||
* On ''Avengers: Infinity War'', the film's opening theme composed by Alan Silvestri plays and towards the end of the logo, in which it's the second track of that film's soundtrack as "Travel Delays". ''Thor'' director Kenneth Branagh's faint voice as the Asgardian Distress Caller from the opening of the movie can be heard.<br>'''Transcript:'''<br>'''Asgardian Distress Caller:''' This is the Asgardian refugee vessel ''Statesman''.

* On ''Spider-Man: No Way Home'', audio of the mid-credits scene from ''Spider-Man: Far From Home'' plays over this and the preceding [[Sony Entertainment|Sony]] and [[Columbia Pictures]] logos. The same notes of the fanfare are heard by a timpani drum in which Michael Giacchino scored the fanfare, which is the first track of that film's soundtrack as "Intro to Fake News". | |||
