1st Logo (1994-2003)

Logo: On a black background, we see two halves of some letters slide in, with the top being a dark blue color, and the bottom part of the text being a bright blue color. After some time, we zoom out as the letters begin to form the word "BLITZ" in a bold font, said text is split in half, with the top half being a dark blue and the bottom half being a light blue.. Once the letters form, we stop moving and there's a big, bright, blue lens flare along with something of a trail-like thing with a smokey appearance. Immediately after that, there is a different lens flare at the bottom, revealing the text "Film & Video Distribution" in a red, serif font. Once all that's said and done, the top half turns black, and the bottom half of the logo turns white.

Variants: There is a variation made for kids' releases through a division called "Blitz Baby"; where the logo animation is the same, except blocks featuring the letters that spell out 'BABY' come up and bounce around until they get to their final places. Then the serif text colored white, comes in.

Technique: The movement, the lighting, the lens flares.

Music/Sounds: The beginning bars of Micheal Jackson's Gone Too Soon, then a bang, then a final note.

Availability: Uncommon outside Europe as it can be seen on VHSs and European Universal DVDs coming with a possible Croatian language track.

2nd Logo (2003-2012)

Logo: In an area full of orange and blue lighting, we fly through parts of letters (and sometimes whole letters themselves) as a bright cyan light gets obstructed by letters. After some time flying through letters, we reach the cyan light, and it fades out to reveal the text: "BLITZ"; with the top half being black, and the bottom half being white. Underneath it is the "Film & Video Distribution" text in a Garamond-like font. The logo shines as the lights in the background slightly move a bit before we cut to black.

Technique: The movement, the lighting and the flying through the words. Amazing CGI.

Music/Sounds: Mechanical sounds, general sounds, humming, and a camera sound.

Availability: Uncommon outside the Croatian area.
