'''Availability:''' Extinct. Until 2023, the only evidence this logo existing is on Australian VHS releases of ''Blinky Bill'' on the video cover and on trailers for the film. This print logo has been recently spotted on a TV spot for ''Proof''. This logo was most likely seen only in Australian cinemas as the logo is erased from all home media releases or plastered with the Roadshow Television logo on TV prints.

'''Logo:''' Against a starry background, a series of colored searchlights appears (red, blue, green and violet). A filmstrip then appears, briefly containing the lights within a sprocket hole before zooming out, following by four additional filmstrips following it in pattern. The five filmstrips then turn sideways and transform into a series of golden stars which join together as the camera zooms out and the searchlights return to focus. The Greater Union logo appears and encompasses the center star within the "A" as it slides into position. When the logo is fully visible, it is revealed that another star has been encompassed within the "O". Both stars fly off the screen in a "trailing" effect. A blue-tinted glow appears across the entire image, and remains until the logo fades out.
 
'''Technique:''' CGI.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' A triumphant brass fanfare which incorporates Greater Union's iconic jingle near the end.
 
'''Availability:''' Extinct. Seen in Greater Union cinemas during the early to mid 1990s. {{Chronology|[[GUO Film Distributors]]|[[Roadshow Films]]}}
