1st Logo (September 28, 2001)
Logo: On a white background we see pulsing circles quickly zooming in, which pans left and shines to form the 1994-1998 VH1 channel logo with "Music First" (its slogan from 1994-2003) under it. Next to it we see the word "FILMS" in a narrow upper-case font, fading in next to the logo.

Technique: The pulsing circles, the shining of the VH1 logo and the "FILMS" text fading in.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Only seen on Zoolander.

2nd Logo (November 4, 2006)
Logo: We move across a body of water at sunset and stop upon an island where a giant 2003-2013 VH1 Network logo (without its cube) with the text "FILMS" next to it is shown. A human figure walks up stairs and opens a small door in the logo (where a blue light is beaming) and walks there.

Technique: Great animation.

Music/Sounds: A somber organ/piano tune, changing to disco music when the door opens, then back. After the door closes, there is a brief orchestral flourish that sounds similar to the 1999 Warner Bros. Pictures logo theme.

Availability: Appeared exclusively on Totally Awesome.
