'''Logo:''' We see a white stripe moving diagonally as the word "CANAL" appears. It then becomes smaller and bigger and reveals itself to be a {{color|red|r}}{{color|orange|a}}{{color|yellow|i}}{{color|limegreen|n}}{{color|dodgerblue|b}}{{color|mediumslateblue|o}}{{color|orchid|w}} colored circle. Then the "+" fades in with the "VIDEO" below it. The titles then vanish and the ring becomes thinner.

Then, the Canal+ logo appears again, with a gray rectangle with "'''''VIDE''O'''" below. At the left of the gray rectangle, there's a {{color|royalblue|blue}} square that changes colors before it changes to {{color|royalblue|blue}} again for a few seconds.


'''Technique:''' 2D computer animation done with a Quantel Paintbox.
'''Trivia:''' This is based off the Canal+ feature presentation idents from the time. The streak animation at the beginning of the logo is actually a throwback to the 1st Canal+ ident, although in a more brighter fashion. The animation was also used for the 2nd StudioCanal logo that would be shortly used during the end of the 20th century.


'''Audio:''' Same as the bumper/feature presentation version of the 1995 Canal+ logo.
'''FX/SFX:''' The animation of the squares, and color transitions, which are a little fast, but nothing all that bad.


'''Availability:'''
'''Music/Sounds:''' A single note sung by a soprano opera singer, followed by a percussive theme with a string section. The female notes change with clapping percussion. When the percussions stop (strings continue), a jungle-like crackling sound plays, ending with an echoed, low-pitched beeping sound. The whole music is in sync to the animation of the logo.
* This debuted on releases from Canal+ shows, TPS shows and original works.

* It also debuted on some of the French VHS and DVD releases of the ''Smart Planet'' TV movie and ''Smart Planet 2000''.
'''Availability:''' Most likely uncommon.
* On some releases from 2001-2005, the [[StudioCanal Video]] logo is used.
* It possibly debuted on French VHS/DVDs from PFC Video (a joint-venture between [[20th Century Fox Home Entertainment|Fox]], [[Pathé (France)|Pathé]] and Canal+), but we're not so sure.
* With the recent StudioCanal logo find, we might say that this would debut on releases from Canal+ shows, TPS shows and original works.
* It also debuted on some of the VHS and DVD releases of the ''Smart Planet'' TV movie, ''Télétoon Advance'' and ''Télétoon Frontière''.

'''Editor's Note:''' On some releases from 2001-2005, the [[StudioCanal Video (France)|StudioCanal Video]] logo is used.
