1st Logo (1999-2000)

Visuals: The screen fades to a blue background with the black Chinese text, with an underline below and "RAINTREE PICTURES" below it. The logo shines into silver, then it turns white.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: A battle drum fanfare.

Availability: Spotted on their earlier movies, such as Liang Po Po: The Movie and 2000 AD.

2nd Logo (November 16, 2000-2010)

Early version
Later version

Visuals: There is a wide raintree on a sunny grass field. Ripples appear on the screen, making a transition to the words "RAINTREE PICTURES" (both in Chinese and English) on a marble background. The MediaCorp logo would later fade in above with the Chinese translation below.

Variants:

An early version exists, where the tree is different and after the transition, only the "RAINTREE PICTURES" name appears on a plain white background.
On some films, the logo appears still.
In 2003, the Chinese MediaCorp text was replaced with the "Studios" script. The logo also gains a shadow after appearing.
On Homerun, the Chinese name is absent.
Later on, the ripples would transition to a drawing of the raintree on the same marble background, with "MediaCorp Raintree Pictures" in a plain font below.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Originally none. In 2003, a relaxing violin/piano theme was added, with the sounds of water drops splashing.

Availability: Seen on a majority of the company's films from the era.

It appears on The Tree, I Not Stupid and its sequel, Internal Affairs II, The Eye and its sequel, The Best Bet, The Maid, and Homerun.
The early version is only seen on Chicken Rice War.
The later version also appears on the New Zealand production The Tattooist.

3rd Logo (2011-2012)

Visuals: Unknown.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Unknown.

Availability: It's seen only on the final two films from the company, It's A Great Great World and Dance Dance Dragon.
