Background

This is the home video division of French premium television network Canal+.

1st Logo (1985-1995)

Logo: Same as the common short version of the 1984 Canal+ logo, except "VIDEO" appears below "CANAL+", then vanishes along with it.

Technique: 2D computer animation with 3D effects.

Music/Sounds: A choir and synth theme.

Availability: Common.

2nd Logo (1995-2005)

Logo: Same as the bumper/feature presentation version of the 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 "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.

Technique: 2D computer animation done with a Quantel Paintbox.

Music/Sounds: Same as the bumper/feature presentation version of the 1995 Canal+ logo.

Availability: Most likely uncommon.

It possibly debuted on French VHS/DVDs from PFC Video (a joint-venture between Fox, 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.
On some releases from 2001-2005, the StudioCanal Video logo is used.

-This is the home video division of [[Canal+]], a French TV station that also operates in countries like Spain, Poland and Scandinavia and spun-off [[StudioCanal|StudioCanal S.A.]], one of the biggest feature film-owning libraries.

-'''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.

-'''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.

+'''Logo:''' 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 {{color|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.
-'''Technique:''' The animation of the squares, and color transitions, which are a little fast, but nothing all that bad.
+'''Technique:''' 2D computer animation done with a Quantel Paintbox.
+'''Music/Sounds:''' 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.
