1st Logo (May 7, 2005-December 15, 2012)
Visuals: On a white background, we can see a box that has an ocean, a rock and a yellow sky with moving clouds and the sun setting. "MARVISTA", in Eurostile, fades in slowly and rippling. A white flash occurs, and the box is now more modernistic-looking, with a sunset sky, simpler rock and ocean, and the "MARVISTA" text is now white. "e n t e r t a i n m e n t", in the same font, fades in under the box.

Variants:
 * An almost-still version exists, where the only animation is the ocean and clouds.
 * A variant exists where on a black background is "DISTRIBUTED EXCLUSIVELY BY" in white. This precedes the logo.
 * On 16 Wishes, the URL "www.16WishesTheMovie.com" fades at the same time as "e n t e r t a i n m e n t".
 * Starting in 2010, the logo is upgraded to have a more visible rock texture and a more sky. The logo ends by flashing to white.
 * A shortened version of the upgraded variant exists.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: The sounds of the ocean waves followed by a synth note (which was composed by Matthew Janszen), the end theme of the movie, or none.

Availability: Seen on MarVista releases from the time.
 * The "DISTRIBUTED EXCLUSIVELY BY" variant was spotted on a trailer for Love Thy Neighbour.
 * Current prints of 16 Wishes use the almost-still variant, with the URL removed.
 * The shortened version was spotted on The N's Beyond the Break.

2nd Logo (2011-2020)
Visuals: The sequence starts with the camera zooming over an ocean at sunset. The camera pans up, showing the rock and the sun. "Times New Roman" in beige ripples from the ocean. As the sun begins to set, a lens flare occurs, changing it into a drawing on a black background. Also, the text changes its color from beige to plain white.

Variant: A shortened version exists.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: An orchestral theme with a drum chick at the end (composed by Mikel Shane Prather), or the end theme of the movie/show. There is also a short version as well.

3rd Logo (2018-)

Technique: Zooming effects.

Audio: The beginning of the trailer.

4th Logo (2020-)

As the background fades, the camera quickly zooms away from a rock in the sea until a comfortable distance is reached, with "MARVISTA" zooming out as well.
