'''Nicknames:''' "Spinning Daisy", "Retro Daisy", "The Gaumont Daisy V", "Daisy of Annoyance"
 
'''Logo:''' Against a black background is "GAUMONT" in a skinny red font, with the "G" inside the stylized daisy from the 1981 logo. The daisy spins as the logo begins, but stops about a second later. On the bottom right of the text, "PRESENTE" appears.
 
'''Variants:'''
* A black and white variant has been spotted.
* Another version has "DEPUIS QUE LE CINEMA EXISTE" ("ever since cinema exists") below it.
 
'''FX/SFX:''' The daisy spinning.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' None.
 
'''Availability:''' Common. Seen on post-1970s reprints of their old films.
 
'''Editor's Note:''' This logo is the main reason why most Gaumont logos are hard to find, and this plastering monster just has barebones effort put in. Not as annoying as other logos that do a worse plastering job, but this still has an annoyance level. 
 
=== 8th Logo (1985-1995) ===

'''Logo:''' Against a dark blue gradient BG, we see the Gaumont daisy slowly coming toward us, a la Viacom's "V of Doom", and stars shoot forward as this happens. It fills the screen and then we see the word "aumont" zoom out with a 3D effect. Then it slowly zooms out altogether and disappears. It's similar to the 6th logo except without any daisies.

'''Logo:''' We see a map of all the Gaumont logos throughout history labeled with their respective years. The camera pans across the map following the logos until it gets to the last one. We then see a bright flash and then the camera zooms in toward a gold Gaumont daisy in space (with stars shooting forward). It has a cloud of gas revolving around it that quickly transforms into the word "Gaumont" (written in red). The daisy also turns red. The logo shines afterward.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Same as the black background variation of the 7th logo. On some films, it would be silent, have the films opening theme, or use a wind-blowing theme.

'''Music/Sounds Variant:''' On some films on which it plasters the 5th-8th logos, it would use their respective themes. This occurs on the Sony Blu-Ray of ''La Femme Nikita'', the Alliance Atlantis Canadian DVD of ''The Big Blue'', and the CT DVD of ''Atlantis''.

'''Logo:''' We start on a black background, then blue haze rises above a horizon, similar to an eclipse, with fireflies flying about. We seen see a silhouette of a boy walking from the distance and stops at a silhouette of a daisy. The boy then bends down and picks up the daisy, then stands back up and lets go of it. The boy then looks up as we travel to the daisy, which comes closer to the screen. The daisy turns colorful and flashes again, turning into the Gaumont logo similar to the previous logo, but more detailed and in 3D. The background changes into a detailed zooming space BG. The Gaumont logo shines and fades out.

'''Logo:''' On a black background a red light appears and bursts to form a red line. The red line rotates to look like a petal. After this several more petals fall from the screen as the background intensifies to a blood red color. Soon, hundreds of petals appear to form a red Gaumont logo resembling the one from 1981, but with a more modern look. The petals in the circle keep rotating until the red background becomes black again.
