3rd Logo (April 3, 1998-January 18, 2002)

5th Logo (March 9, 2007-September 22, 2020)
Logo: A light opens in the center, leaving white particles flying everywhere. Three plates of the 1997 BBC logo zoom in, rotating in the process. The word "FILMS" zooms in.

Variants:
 * An in-credit version was seen at the end of their films.
 * In 2015, "25 YEARS" was added below the logo.
 * On Mrs. Brown's Boys D'Movie, the logo moves from the top right to its usual position at the end of the 2013 Universal Pictures logo.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A mellow string tune with drumbeats.

Availability: Very common.
 * It was seen on feature films that the company produced until 2020 such as Eastern Promises.
 * The logo made its last appearance on Supernova.
 * This logo appears at the beginning of their films when aired on BBC channels, although this never appeared on the actual prints of some movies like Starter for 10.
 * Surprisingly, this logo is seen after the Fox Searchlight Pictures logo and before the DNA Films logo whenever the BBC airs The History Boys and Far From The Madding Crowd, as the actual prints don't have this logo until the end credits.

(February 11, 2021-)
Logo: On a black background, the camera rotates around the current BBC Film logo, which consists of the 1997 BBC logo and the bold text "FILM" below it. All of the parts are raised up with invisible blocks of different sizes, but the logo is left in 2D when the camera faces the top of them.

Variant: At the end of films, a smaller still version is used.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Current. It first appeared on Can't Get You Out of My Head and The Mauritanian, and will appear on all upcoming productions from them. However, this does not appear as an opening logo on Triangle of Sadness, and is instead in the closing credits of the film.
