Logo (1991-unknown retirement year, June 11, 2021)

Visuals: On a black background, a triangular pattern of violet streaks wipe from the bottom of the screen to the top left. Another pattern with right triangles would then wipe from the top left. After this, a film camera is seen moving from the left with its lens spinning. Shortly after, the screen zooms into the inside of the camera where we see filmstrips, spinning film reels, and a small projector light in the center. "bfi" would wipe in in the center, followed by "BRITISH FILM INSTITUTE" arched over the letters. The film reels fade out, followed by both the arched text and the projector light, and finally the letters.

Technique: A combination of live action and cel animation.

Audio: A drum tune with cymbals. On Censor, the opening theme of the movie is used.

Availability: It made appearances on British films such as Eleyna. This logo made a special appearance on Censor, released in June 11, 2021.
