Nickname(s): "MEDIA", "The European Logo", "We Love Film & TV", "Europe Flag and MEDIA Wordmark", "Europe's Number One Film and Television Organisation Industry", "The MEDIA Programme of the European Union".

Logo: Superimposed by the credits on the TV show or film on whatever setting or background, the still MEDIA logo and the EU flag next to it appears somewhere in the closing sequence. Below the logo says "MEDIA Programme of the European Union" in a clean font in either white or black, while all of M, E, D, I, and A in "MEDIA" is everything ribbed in outlines. Sometimes, the company's URL can be seen below both of them, in a smaller size.

Trivia: The print version of the logo itself was made with rainbow colors to represent the CE branding, not the Europe flag on the left.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: It's only just the end theme of the movie or TV series whatsoever.
