7th Logo (13 October 2011-)
Logo: In a lit-up room with stickers of people doing a traditional dance, we see a  canary constantly moving and twisting its head for a couple of seconds. A bunch of dots then emerge from all sides of the screen and form a 2D dot render of the eagle from the previous logo, where we can also see a thin,  crescent facing downwards and "" to fade in underneath, forming the modern Spentzos Film logo. It then shrinks to give space for "Η " on the left and "ΠΑΡΟΥΣΙΑΖΕΙ: " on the right to fade in both ends of said text once it stops zooming. It all eventually fades out to black.

Technique: Live-action and computer animation.

Music/Sounds: A Greek=themed string piece, which is possibly the opening theme of the movie.
