4th Logo (December 17, 2004- )
Nicknames: "Fairy Alien", "Fallen Fairy Alien from Space", "Stellauro", "Abstract A II", "The Fairy of Serenity", "Happy 30th Anniversary, Filmauro", "30 Years of Filmauro"

Logo: In a forest at the nighttime, a shooting star falls from sky onto some trees and explodes, the camera moves towards the trees into a lake, we reveal that the star is a white fairy alien with three pointy tendrils of energy on her head, fallen, who plays with the pond. The alien briefly becomes shocked and tells us to be quiet (she says "Shhh!"), before going into the flight, the abstract "A" fades in rotating while she flies behind it and the background transitioning into the night sky via the "radar" wipe, and the rest of the letters to spell "FILMAURO", slide in from sides of "A", then the background fades to black.

Variant: During the logo's first year, it has "30th" zooming out to the top of the logo, but when the background fades to black, the word "a n n i v e r s a r y" fades in below it.

FX/SFX: Excellent CGI made by, again, Proxima and rebelThink S.r.l.

Music/Sounds: Cicadas chirping, some crystal chimes and a whoosh when a shooting star falls, then, an epic and soothing orchestral fanfare composed by Giacomo Vitullo, that sounds similar to the 1st Feature Films for Families logo, which pauses when a fairy alien is being in shock, then resumes after she tells to be quiet, some swooshes when the fairy alien flies, and ending the fanfare with the ding.

Music/Sounds Variant: The 30th Anniversary variant has no additional sound effects.

Availability: Seen on all Filmauro movies since Christmas in Love (2004).

Editor's Note: Some might say that the short scene with the alien is unnecessary, but it's still a soothing logo.
