M6 Studio

Logo descriptions by thezoraidude Logo captures by Jake Sharatt & M6 Entertainment

1st (known) logo (Early 1990's-1997)
Logo: We see a white background scanning out, leaving a black BG instead. A grey "M" letter comes from the top of screen, while two "6" (one white and one red) appear from the left and right of the screen. Once the M6 logo is formed, a small rectangle with "VIDEO" written on it appears. The logo fades out, and we see "PRESENTE"

FX/SFX: Similar animation to the M6 opening used at the time.

Music/Sounds: A slightly different version of the M6 logo, in a different key and different instruments.

Availability: Extremely rare.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd logo (1999-2002)
Logo: We see the M6 Vidéo logo turning while the camera zooms out. After a short flash, the M6 sign becomes static, while confetti-like stripes fly over the screen.

FX/SFX: The logo turning.

Music/Sounds: Noodling sound when the logo turns, a bang, and a drone synth tune.

Availability: Very rare outside of France.

Editor's Note: None.
