1st Logo (May 7, 2005-December 15, 2012)
Logo: 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" 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" 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, we see "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.

Music/Sounds: 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)
Logo: We start 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.

Music/Sounds: 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.

Availability: Seen on MarVista releases from the time, which in most cases often air on Lifetime, LMN, UP and Hallmark Channel. The shortened version was spotted on some prints of Disney Channel's Zapped, among others.

3rd Logo (2018-)
Logo: On a black background, we see a half circle, with a rock and ocean, as well as the words "MARVISTA ENTERTAINMENT", all in white zooming in slowly.

Variant: The color of the logo and sometimes, the background varies.

Technique: Zooming effects.

Music/Sounds: The beginning of the trailer.

Availability: It can be seen on trailers from recent MarVista releases.

4th Logo (2020-)
Logo: We start with a white background. As the background fades, we quickly zoom away from a rock in the sea until a comfortable distance is reached, with "MARVISTA" zooming out as well. Shorty after, a small "ENTERTAINMENT" fades below. The text is in the same font as the previous logo.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: Same as the second logo.

Availability: It can be seen on newer MarVista releases. You may find this logo on Lifetime, LMN, UP, Hallmark Channel, Tubi, and Peacock.
