3rd Logo (2000-2017)
Nickname: "The Running Statue"

Logo: We begin as the logo fades in. We see a third person view of a golden man (similar to the man seen on the Academy Award statue) running on a moving filmstrip. There is a glow coming out of the holes on the filmstrip which makes the background shady white. There is a trapezoid like shape in the distance. The camera pans down towards into the slides to reveal the same scene playing. The camera pans onto the slide again revealing the same scene again except this time the camera zooms back and rotates. The background changes to black and the light rays disappear. As the camera zooms back we now see the text "BONTON" "F I L M S" stacked on top of each other in blue. Red yellow and blue light rays come in to the top left of the logo forming a upside down "Y" like shape as the man disappears and the logo finishes zooming out. Shady white filmstrip edges form and shine on the bottom left and top right of the logo. A bluish white glow forms around the text.

 * On DVDs, the animation the same, but modified. As the statue run, the text Centrum Ceskeho Video zoom in and doing the same animation the logo itself.
