'''Logo:''' On a blue space background, we see a white daisy zooming forward, eventually reaching the viewer and leaving the screen. The text "Gaumont" in an old-English font (the same font used for the 1908 logo) zooms out along with the daisy from before, which stops on top of the text. When it reaches the end of the screen, it disappears. | '''Logo:''' On a blue space background, we see a white daisy zooming forward, eventually reaching the viewer and leaving the screen.

'''Music/Sounds:''' From 1985 to 1992, it used the same music as the 6th and 7th logos. From 1990 onwards on most films, it used a dramatic orchestral opener followed by a majestic fanfare, also heard on the next logo below. The 1990 variant also had the 6th and 7th logos' music, but lower pitched. | '''Music/Sounds:''' From 1985 to 1992, it used the same music as the 6th and 7th logos.

'''Availability:''' Very rare. The first version can be found on the Celebrity Home Entertainment/Just for Kids releases of ''Asterix vs. Caesar'' and ''Asterix in Britain''. Gaumont is plastering their older logos on any new prints of their titles (with mainly the 10th and 11th logos), such as on the Region 2 DVD releases of the former two ''Asterix'' films. However, it makes appearances on the French R2 DVD of ''The Party'', and the 2000 Image Entertainment DVD of ''The Twelve Chairs'' after the 1984 CBS/FOX Video logo (it uses a video master made from a European print). The 1990 version has been spotted on the Fox Lorber DVD of ''The Last Metro'', the R1 Criterion DVD of ''And The Ship Sails On'', TCM airings of ''Danton'', and early French DVDs of ''La Femme Nikita'' and ''Robin Hood: Men in Tights''. | '''Availability:''' Very rare.

'''Music/Sounds:''' We start out with a 7-note fantasy-like fanfare. When the kid releases the daisy, a 4-note xylophone melody plays, ending with a dramatic fanfare. On rare occasions, it is silent or has the film's opening theme over it. | '''Music/Sounds:''' We start out with a 7-note fantasy-like fanfare.
