'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see a stylized "TMS" in blue and red, with "TOKYO MOVIE SHINSHA CO., LTD." below in white. After a few seconds, the words sparkle out, and the stylized "TMS" turns 3D, moving toward the viewer while leaving residue behind, with the residue following shortly afterwards (likely it's going backwards). | '''Logo:''' On a black background, we see a stylized "TMS" in blue and red, with "TOKYO MOVIE SHINSHA CO., LTD." below in white.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Usually silent, but some films, like ''Lupin III: The Fuma Conspiracy'', use a 4-note synth tune that repeats throughout the logo, with chimes for the sparkles and loud whooshes for the movement of "TMS". This a library track called "Music, Billboard #2" from Sound Ideas Series 1000 sound library; it was also used in the [[Charter Entertainment]] and [[Hanna-Barbera Poland]] logos, and can also be heard in the video game ''Worms Armageddon'' as a victory fanfare. | '''Music/Sounds:''' Usually silent, but some films, like ''Lupin III: The Fuma Conspiracy'', use a 4-note synth tune that repeats throughout the logo, with chimes for the sparkles and loud whooshes for the movement of "TMS".

'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. Seen on Streamline or AnimEigo dubs of TMS properties. This is subject to plastering by the 5th logo on 90s VHS releases and current HD prints, but is preserved on the current prints of ''Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland'' (which use the original uncut version rather than the 1992 Hemdale cut). | '''Availability:''' Extremely rare.

'''Logo:''' A cluster of clouds move away, revealing a sky blue screen with more clouds at the bottom and the sun in the distance. A group of sparkles then emerge from the glow, forming an rainbow and three dolphins come rushing towards the screen. They then rush upwards off the screen, forming a splash of water and revealing the current logo waving about ("Tms" in a blue abstract font, with a white dot in the middle of the T's bar and a pink dot above the "M"). The background then becomes a grey-white gradient and "ENTERTAINMENT, LTD." fades in below. | '''Logo:''' A cluster of clouds move away, revealing a sky blue screen with more clouds at the bottom and the sun in the distance.

'''Availability:''' Common. Seen on newer and older TMS properties. The still version appears at the end of television productions (mainly ''Sonic X'', which is kept on the U.S 4Kids dubbed version). It plasters older logos such as on the Japanese Blu-ray of ''Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland'' and Geneon DVDs of the original ''Lupin III'' series. The animated version can be found at the end of episodes of the uncut French dub of ''Sonic X'', sometimes followed by the Buena Vista International Television logo. | '''Availability:''' Common.

'''Logo:''' The TMS logo is seen centered on a black background. A blue light then shines on the red dot that is placed on top of the logo. A reflection of the logo from the light zooms into the screen very slowly and then disappears along with the light. The TMS logo remains in its original place after the light animation is finished. | '''Logo:''' The TMS logo is seen centered on a black background.

*Sometimes, a longer version exists. A red triangle folds out onto the screen, followed by it becoming a square. It eventually continues to fold out, becoming a cluttered mess of multicolored shapes, folding around like origami. Eventually, the origami collapse into the TMS logo, with the sphere being formed from a blue/pink square, and the animation continues as described above. | |||
