1st Logo (February 20, 2010-September 7, 2018)
Logo: We fade in from black to see, on a grey background, the individual letters of WOWOW's name focusing in and out. After a brief moment of this sequence, both Os remain in focus as the three Ws slowly come into focus and stay that way. The red word "FILMS" then fades in below WOWOW's name. The resulting logo looks like this: WOWOW FILMS FX/SFX: Entirely done in 2D digital animation.

Music/Sounds: A series of soft synth notes that sound somewhat similar to a verrophone that ends with on an ambient note.

Availability: First seen on Parade and last seen on The Miracle of Crybaby Shottan.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (March 5, 2021-)
Logo: On a white background, we see numerous copies of the WOWOW Films logo sliding across the screen. These copies then disappear, and then we see the individual animation of this logo in the center of the screen, which is the company name "WOWOW", which is on an underline, sliding in from the left while, below the underline, "FILMS" slides in from the right. The end result looks like this: Times New Roman

FX/SFX: The text sliding, entirely done with 2D digital animation.

Music/Sounds: A short guitar ditty.

Availability: First seen on The Sun Does Not Move.

Editor's Note: None.
