1st Logo
(1985(?)-1995)

 Logo : Same as the Canal+ ident of the era, except "VIDEO" fades in right after the text in a right aglignment as the same time as "+".

FX/SFX : Same as the ident.

Music/Sounds : Same as the ident.

 Availability : Seen on their tapes made by StudioCanal.

 Editor's Note : None.

2nd Logo
(1995-2003?)

Nickname : "Flashing Squares"

 Logo : Same as the one of the Canal+ idents of the era, but it takes place on the black background. When the Canal+ logo appears again, with a gray rectangle with "VIDEO" below. At the left of the gray rectangle, there's a blue square that changes colors before it changes to blue again for a few seconds.

 FX/SFX : Same as the ident.

 Music/Sounds : The ident's music style, with a jungle-like crackling sound.

 Availability : Most likely uncommon. Possibly seen on tapes/DVDs of content released by StudioCanal, but we're not sure. With the recent StudioCanal logo find, we might say that this would appear on releases from Canal+ shows and original works.

 Editor's Note : None.
