Logo: Inserted into the end credits of a film (instituting that it's a print logo), we see "LE STUDIO" in a large font. Inside it is the Canal+ logo, which is basically the name of the network in an italic form. The plus sign is inside the "O" of "STUDIO".
Variants:
•The logo is often seen inside a white rectangle with "LE STUDIO" in grey and "CANAL+" in black.
•An animated variant starts with the rectangle fading in, then 3 copies of "LE STUDIO" in pink, blue, and yellow flying into the rectangle, then combining and turning grey. "CANAL+" then fades in. Then the logo fades out and "PRESENTE" in white fades in.
•On Chaplin, the logo is seen with the Carolco logo.
•On early StudioCanal films, the company's name, Le Studio Canal, is shown as an in-credit notice.
Logo: Same as the Canal+ Video logo (which is based off the Canal+ feature presentation ident of the time), but the Canal+ logo is replaced with a black bar. At the end, the words "LE STUDIO" and "CANAL+" are seen in the center, with "LE STUDIO" moved to the left. The square is to the left of "CANAL+".
FX/SFX: Same as the Canal+ Video logo.
Music/Sounds: Same as the Canal+ Video logo.
Availability: Extremely rare. Was spotted on a 1999 French VHS of Scream 2. Debuted in the original prints of Stargate (DVDs might plaster this with the 4th logo), and made its final appearance in The Weight of Water.
Nickname: "Sliding Doors"
Logo: On a black background, we see two connected rectangles, one gray, the other light blue, both sliding from the center of the screen like a mirror image.The gray rectangle reads "STUDIO" and the blue reads "CANAL", both texts are in white. The logo and font look similar to the one used for its parent company Canal+.
FX/SFX: The rectangles sliding in; very simple animation.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Extremely rare. Was only seen on U-571.
Editor's Note: None.
Nicknames: "Tribal Visions", "Acid Trip"
Logo: A comet flies across a very dark blue sky, with a few intermittent stars. As the comet passes over the screen, small stars start to flash and random numbers begin to appear at the place of the flashes. A lightning bolt strikes from the right side of the screen into the middle of the screen. The numbers disappear and a circular burst of "rain" appears. Large white circles of varying sizes pop up over the screen and disappear almost instantaneously. Another lightning bolt hits. The source of the "rain" switches to the right side of the screen. The rain stops and white lines begin to appear all over the screen (once again disappearing instantly) as the letters for "STUDIO CANAL" appear haphazardly across the screen. A shooting star and a lightning bolt appear at the same time. Rain starts coming from all sides of the screen, as well as small white circles floating upwards. Sparkles of light encompass the screen, culminating in a white flash. The same logo from the previous logo, only the box for "STUDIO" is black, appears, surrounded by light streaks. Finally the text "A CANAL+ COMPANY" appears on the bottom right of "CANAL".
FX/SFX: The whole logo seems like it's trying too hard, but it's otherwise a feast for the eyes. Also, most of the logo has nothing to do with the formation of the logo, and can cause seizures.
Music/Sounds: First, a zap sound is heard when the comet flies by, then a tribal hymn heavy on thunderous percussion, with a female operatic singer marking the appearance of the company name, and a strange primal scream at the white flash. A brief bongo tap is also heard to mark the appearance of "A CANAL+ COMPANY".
Availability: Uncommon. Not many films used this logo, but it's still not too hard to find.
•Appears on films like Billy Elliot (US release), Stargate, Bridget Jones's Diary and 40 Days and 40 Nights.
Nicknames: "The Flight", "StudioCanal in the Clouds"
Logo: A VHS-sized rectangle with an image of clouds inside appears in the center of a black background, and grows so that it takes up the whole screen. The camera flies through the clouds, and, after a few seconds, the StudioCanal logo appears, and the surrounding area fades to black.
Variants:
•There is a black and white version to fit with such films of this type. Found in recent prints of The Farmer's Wife and The Elephant Man (sans Encore's prints), as well as other old black-and-white films (most commonly in French New Wave films). Though some black-and-white films, feature the color version.
•On 35mm open matte film scan prints of films starting with Johnny English, the logo zooms out to a much farther distance, revealing more of the clouds until the StudioCanal logo appears when the surrounding area fades.
•The shorter version starts in the clouds. Found on Inland Empire and the Canadian & US releases of Franklin and the Turtle Lake Adventure.
Nickname: "The Glass"
Logo: In a live-action black environment, we see several revolving rectangular glass panels, with brightly-colored lights shining through it. There are reflections of StudioCanal's new logo ("STUDIOCANAL" in Futura MD BT, all upright and with the "O" and "C" connected together, inside a black rectangle with the top-left and bottom-right corners rounded off; it is also rendered with the rectangle being white and the name being the same colors as the glass. The byline "A CANAL+ COMPANY" is also present below). They rotate like a revolving door to form the studio's name, upon the formation of which the rectangle fades in behind it and the lights continue to appear behind it.
Trivia: The logo was done by Devilfish, the glass is all live-action and was installed specially for the logo.
Variants:
•On some releases (mainly earlier ones), the logo is bylineless.
•A print version of the logo exists.
