Visuals: Same as the 2003 BMG Ariola Miller logo, but slightly redesigned: "BMG" is skinnier, the triangle and line have a white hue, and "ARIOLA MILLER" is replaced with "FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT". The animation is also slightly different: the lights are smoother, the logo zooms in gradually slower, and only "FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT" lights up.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Same as the BMG Ariola Miller logo.

Availability: Unknown. ^[Examples?]
