'''Nicknames:''' "SF Circle X", "CGI SF"

'''Logo:''' On a black background, a blue light glows from the bottom and reveals a "SF" logo that rises up, surrounded by two rotating circles and eventually settles into place as the blue glow appears right behind, and "SVENSK FILMINDUSTRI" fades in.

'''Variants:'''  

* There's a brand called SF Norge for distributing theatrical movies in Norway, it uses the last seconds of animation (the shine) with the corresponding name below. This logo is also used on SF Film in Finland and Denmark.

* For Blu-Rays, DVDs and recently distributed movies, the animation was completely ehnanced.

'''FX/SFX:''' The "SF" zooming out, the circles rotating, and the text fading in.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A shortened and remastered newsreel theme with majestic brass tune.

'''Music/Sounds Variant:''' In some cases, it uses an abridged version of the theme in the previous logo.

'''Nicknames:''' "SF Circle XI", "CGI SF II", "Centennial SF"

'''Logo:''' There are two variants:

* Underwater, we see blue and red rays shining and water rippling. We see bubbles rise up and fly freely. We pan up and zoom in (with some visible water spots) to reveal the full setting to be a forest at sunrise: there are pine (and other type of) trees with a few houses in front with grass and other trees and mountains in the background. We see red haze (explaining the red rays) swiveling through all this on the right, and the camera tilts a bit so the sun stays shining on the horizon. On the sky, we see a flock of birds flying north (The sun rises in the east). The haze now shows up to the right and moves like the filmstrips in the 1997 [[Medusa Film (Italy)|Medusa]] logo. The haze forms the "SF" logo from the previous logos and also "STUDIOS" below. The haze disappears and the logo shines.

*At the end of some films, a horizontal print logo exists.

'''Special Variant:''' In 2019, the company celebrated their 100th anniversary with a variant that added two blue flashes and extra text at the end of the logo. The "SF" logo and text is pushed up to accommodate for the changes. The first blue flash had the text: - 1919-2019 -. The second flash had: CELEBRATING 100 YEARS.

'''FX/SFX:''' All the environment like the water, the red smoke, the birds, etc, ending with SF logo being revealed and flipping.

'''Music/Sounds:''' We hear strings and 15 mallet notes, then we hear a re-orchestration of the newsreel theme.

'''Availability:''' Current. Can be seen on the company's newer releases. the second variant was uploaded to YouTube by SF Studios Norge. Also used as a de-facto home video logo.

'''Editor's Note:''' A truly amazing and beautiful logo, thanks to its nice usage of CGI effects and a majestic re-orchestration of the classic SF theme.
