Logo: On a (or black, depending on the movie) starry background, a big shine appears. The shine fades away into the center of a circular steel object (actually a "0"), which rotates and zooms in. At a certain moment, it stops and a horizontal line comes out from the top part of the "0", before going down. The "0" starts to rotate again, and a shining effect deletes half of the horizontal line, making it an abstract "1". The stars fade away from the screen, leaving only the background. 11 horizontal shines appear and the word "DISTRIBUTION" fades on the place of the shines right before the shines fade away.

Variant: In the logo's early life, the trademarks of Rai Cinema and StudioCanal appeared below the logo and respectively, to the left and to the right.

FX/SFX: Decent CGI.

Music/Sounds:
 * 2001-2004: An ascending, synth trumpet music that turns into a culminating fanfare.
 * 2004-2017: Two shining sounds (one when the shines appear and another when the shining effect cancels half part of the horizontal line, the last one's pitch a bit lower), a rotating sound when the "0" rotates and zooms in, two electronic sounds when the horizontal line comes out, and a calm fanfare to finish it off.

Availability: Fairly common. Appears on DVDs distributed by this company in Italy.
