1st Logo (1959-1969)
Nicknames: "The 8", "The Fuji 8", "1960s Fuji", "Fuji Mountain", "The Combination of Shochiku and RKO", "Monochrome Fuji"

Logo: TBA

FX/SFX: Very nice traditional cel animation for the time.

Music/Sounds: TBA

Availability: Extinct. It is only seen when the channel signs on and off.

Editor's Note: A harmless logo and a nice start for the network, though some people might get put off by the rings coming out of the mountain. Nonetheless, the music is very relaxing.

2nd Logo (1969-1976)
TBA

3rd Logo (1976-1978)
TBA

4th Logo (1978-1984, opening variant used until 1981)
Nicknames: "Ai no Message"

Logo: TBA

Variant: The opening plays the short version of the song. To hear the longer version see here.

FX/SFX: The opening variant is known to have a small part of the logo shows 7 rainbow trails beaming to the top while the logo appears. Other than that no other footage of this opening is found. For the closing variant, live-action, expect for the zoom-in of the 1959 print logo, which is scanimated.

Music/Sounds: The station's song "Ai no Message".

Availability: Extinct. A small part of the opening variant appears during Fuji TV's movement to Odaiba, Minato.

Editor's Note: None.

5th Logo (1979-1986)
Nicknames: "Crazy 8s", "Early 1980s Fuji", "The Zooming 8s", "Channel 8, Fuji Better Be", "Scanimated Fuji", "I Ai Eye"

Logo: TBA

Variant: A shorter version exists where it cuts to the final part of the logo, but there is a difference, a rainbow trail comes out of the text, the trail zooms in until the eight appears. The trail fades out as eight shines.

FX/SFX: A combination of scanimation and traditional cel animation. While the parts with the scanimation are really well done, the parts with traditional cels are really choppy, but this was typical for cel-animated logos at the time.

Music/Sounds: TBA

Availability: Extinct. The longer version is only seen when the channel signs on and off. Meanwhile, the shorter version is used as a station ID.

Editor's Note: The in-your-face effects along with the chorus and the part with the eye can make this logo startling, but it's beautiful thanks to the effort put into it. Additionally, the music is relaxing in the first half and catchy in the second half.
