1st Logo (September 30, 2010-November 9, 2020)	2nd Logo (March 27, 2021-May 29, 2022)	3rd Logo (June 3, 2022-)

1st Logo (September 30, 2010-November 9, 2020)

Visuals: Essentially a still logo consisting of a white box with a black outline containing three waves on top: one in turquoise, the other dark turquoise, and the other white with the latter taking up most of the box. Underneath it is the stacked text "ARGONAUTS" and the white text "PRODUCTIONS S.A." within a gray box.

Variants:

A black and white variant exists where in an early version, the original gray color is purely black. A later version matches said color in grayscale.
Another variant has the logo inverted with the bottom-most wave blank and the top section of the screen in white.

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: None.

Availability: The on-screen variant is tougher to find as it is sometimes not present and the film's distributor is the only one that appears. It was seen on Knifer, Ballad for a Pierced Heart, and Siege on Liperti Street. The normal, colorized variant is usually seen at the end of films such as In the Woods and Do Not Forget Me Istanbul. It is unknown which film uses the colorized on-screen variant.

2nd Logo (March 27, 2021-May 29, 2022)

Visuals: It's another still logo where we see a stylized "a" on top of a deep sky blue line. Underneath it all is the text "ARGONAUTS".

Variant: On Zaketa Na Pareis, the logo is inside a white box.

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: The ending theme of the TV show.

Availability: Due to its short lifespan, it was only seen on the first two seasons of Zaketa Na Pareis and S agapao men alla.

3rd Logo (June 3, 2022-)

Visuals: On a black background, the vertically stretched text "ARGONAUTS" is seen being lifted upwards before slowly and choppily resting back to the ground and its initial position.

Variants:

A still on-screen version exists where the logo is smaller. It is mainly seen at the end of the movie.
Sometimes, the colors are inverted.
- On Army Baby, the above variant has a vignette.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: None.

Availability: It first appeared on the company's website and made its debut on Crimes of the Future. The in-credit variant appeared on TV shows such as The Numbers and Έρωτας φυγάς.
