1st Logo (September 28, 2001)


Visuals: On a white background is pulsing circles quickly zooming in, which pans left and shines to form the 1994-1998 VH1 channel logo with "Music First" (its slogan from 1994-2003) under it. Next to it is the word "FILMS" in a narrow upper-case font, fading in next to the logo.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Only seen on Zoolander.

2nd Logo (November 4, 2006)


Visuals: The camera moves across a body of water at sunset and stops upon an island where a giant 2003-2013 VH1 Network logo (without its cube) with the text "FILMS" next to it is shown. A human figure walks up a flight of stairs and opens a small door in the logo (where a blue light is beaming, indicating a party) and walks inside.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A somber organ/piano tune, changing to techno music when the door opens. After the door closes, there is a brief orchestral flourish ("Crescendo Finale" by Peter Siedlaczek).

Availability: Appeared exclusively on Totally Awesome.
