2nd Logo (1995-2005)

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

-'''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|gold|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.

+'''Visuals:''' Same as the common short version of the [[Canal+#2nd Logo (November 4, 1984-1995)|1984 Canal+ logo]], except "{{color|gray|'''''VIDE''O'''}}" appears below "'''''CANAL''+'''", then vanishes along with it.
-'''FX/SFX:''' CGI animation.
-'''Music/Sounds:''' A choir and synth-theme.
+'''Technique:''' 2D computer animation with 3D effects.
-'''Availability:''' Common.
+'''Audio:''' A choir and synth theme.
+'''Availability:'''  It was seen in all tapes released by Canal+ Video at the time.

-'''Logo:''' A white background fades in and a brighter streak wipes in from both directions. This suddenly cuts to flashing various colors, followed by a Canal+ logo fading in on the same white background. The whole thing changes to black and the Canal+ logo appears from above, with a moving 8-pixel grid below. The whole thing disappears, and the Canal+ logo appears again, with a gray rectangle with "''VIDEO''" below. At the left of the {{color|gray}} rectangle, there's a {{color|royalblue|blue}} square that changes colors before it changes to {{color|royalblue|blue}} again for a few seconds.

-'''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.
+'''Visuals:''' Same as the bumper/feature presentation version of the [[Canal+#3rd Logo (1995-2003)|1995 Canal+ logo]], except the background around the animation is black, and the variant where the Canal+ logo appears from above with a moving 8-pixel grid below is used. 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.
-'''FX/SFX:''' The animation of the squares, and color transitions, which are a little fast, but nothing all that bad.
+'''Audio:''' Same as the bumper/feature presentation version of the 1995 Canal+ logo.
-'''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.
-'''Availability:''' Most likely uncommon.
