EuropaCorp

Background
EuropaCorp is a French movie studio founded by Luc Besson in 1992 as "Leeloo Productions". It was renamed to its current name in 2000 after Besson's old colleague, Pierre-Ange Le Pogam, joined the studio. The two separated in 2011 over creative differences.

In 2019, EuropaCorp entered an indefinite hiatus after sexual allegations were made against Besson, and as a result, its American subsidiary filed for bankruptcy protection. The studio has only released one film since, a spin-off to the Arthur film series called Arthur, malédiction.

1st Logo (2001)
Logo:
 * Yamakasi trailer: Just the serif text "Serif" and "Impact" in Impact font below on a black background.
 * 15 août trailer: Same as above, but the text is all- and "presente" is in all-caps and in the same font as "Serif".

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The opening of the trailer.

Availability: Only seen on the trailers for Yamakasi and 15 août. It may have been a placeholder for the next logo.

2nd Logo (September 2001-)
Logo: Under a night sky with shimmering stars in the far, we move above a water surface with some dolphins swimming around. A light blue ovoid rises from the water and unfolds into a winged woman, who floats and flaps her wings in the middle of the big word "serif", which spreads out by the water as the woman appears. The small word "serif" fades in below.

Trivia: This logo homages the Greek myth of Europa, a sea nymph spirit.

Variants:
 * A shortened version is seen on trailers.
 * On Arthur 3: The War of the Two Worlds, the woman turns a bit at the end and forms into a bronze statue, segueing into the opening of the film.
 * On the GBC and GBA releases of Taxi 3, the logo is open matte and bit-crushed with a strong tint.
 * On one film, the logo zooms out to the left with no sky background behind it, next to the ARP Sélection logo.

FX/SFX: Everything in very nice and clean CGI, which still holds up today. This was done by BUF Compagnie, who later worked on the 2002 Paramount Pictures logo.

Music/Sounds: A calm dreamy soundtrack with some musical instrument inclusions. On some films, none or the opening theme of the movie.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On Unleashed, the logo only has sound effects on it.
 * On Arthur 3: The War of the Two Worlds, a different, higher-pitched orchestration of the theme with a choir is heard.

Availability: Common.
 * The logo was first seen on non-US trailers for Wasabi and debuted on the actual film itself.
 * It has since been seen on every movie the studio produced, including the Taxi franchise (starting with Taxi 3), District 13, the Arthur film series, Lucy, Nine Lives and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
 * It also appears on video games based off the studio's films.
 * Despite producing the Transporter franchise, don't expect to find this on international releases of The Transporter and The Transporter 2, as it was replaced by the 20th Century Fox logo.

Legacy: This is a gorgeous and relaxing logo and a favorite of many.
