'''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.

'''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.

* On ''Avengers: Infinity War'', it ends with the solid {{color|red}} background turning to black, and with the "IO" in "STUDIOS" turning into a {{color|red}} number 10 (as "MARVEL STUD{{color|red|10}}S"), celebrating its 10th anniversary of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This variant also appears on ''Ant-Man and the Wasp,'' as well as the trailers for ''Captain Marvel'', ''Avengers: Endgame'' and ''Spider-Man: Far From Home.''

* Starting with ''WandaVision'', the logo is darker in the Phase Four variant than the Phase Three variant. Furthermore, some of the archival footage from films in Phase One and Phase Two are replaced with some of the archival footage from films in Phase Three. Furthermore, the images of the heroes shown above are now colored in {{color|grey}}, as akin to what happened after the events of ''Avengers: Endgame''.

* Starting with the home media release of ''Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings'', a short version of the Phase Four variant, which starts when the logo nearly finishes its position. This would be used as the de-facto logo for home media releases for films in Phase Four onwards, except for ''Black Widow'', which uses the full version of the Phase Three variant.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A heroic orchestral fanfare composed by Michael Giacchino. Starting with ''Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2'', the fanfare is slightly re-orchestrated with an emphasis on percussion.

'''Music/Sounds Trivia:''' As with Brian Tyler and the 5th logo, fanfare composer Michael Giacchino also scored ''Doctor Strange'', the first film to feature this logo, as well as the music for the 2011 [[Paramount Pictures]] logo, and the scores for [[Walt Disney Animation Studios]]' animated feature ''Zootopia'' and eight Pixar films, including ''Lightyear''. 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.

'''Music/Sounds Variants:'''  
'''Music/Sounds Variants:'''  
* 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''. We are under assault. I repeat, we are under assault. The engines are dead, life support failing. Requesting aid from any vessel within range. We are 22 jump points out of Asgard.

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".
* On ''Spider-Man: Homecoming'', a different version of the fanfare based around the theme song of the 1967 ''Spider-Man'' animated series, originally composed by Paul Francis Webster and Robert "Bob" Harris; also composed by Michael Giacchino, is heard instead. It's also the first track of that film's soundtrack as "Theme from Spider-Man (Original Television Series)". Giacchino posted a behind-the-scenes video of conducting the orchestration part of the theme on his Twitter page, which can be viewed [https://twitter.com/m_giacchino/status/865664095084662785 here].

* 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".

Jonah Jameson:''' There you have it, folks: Conclusive proof that Spider-Man was responsible for the brutal murder of Mysterio, an inter-dimensional warrior who gave his life to protect our planet, and who will, no doubt, go down in history as the greatest superhero of all time. But that's not all, folks. Here's the real blockbuster. Brace yourselves, you might wanna sit down.<br>'''Quentin Beck:''' Spider-Man's real– Spider-Man's real name is–
* On the first episode of ''Ms. Marvel'', entitled "Generation Why", albeit using a variant, the fanfare is replaced with the instrumental version of "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd.<br>'''Transcript:'''<br>'''Kamala Khan:''' Finally, the moment everyone has been waiting for.
* On ''Thor: Love and Thunder'', an electric guitar-driven rock version of the standard theme is used, once again also scored by Michael Giacchino.
