1st Logo (June 23, 2004-December 4, 2013)

Visuals: On a black background, the metallic letters "ESKWAD", in a tall font, turn in to face the screen one by one. Afterwards, they wipe out from left to right.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The opening theme of the film.

Availability: The logo is seen on Saint Ange, Them, Dante 01, and Zulu.

2nd Logo (April 1, 2009)

Visuals: On a partly cloudy sky, there is a contrail curving to the left and then upwards into the distance before leaving through the former section. It returns from said section and into the right, unveiling "ESKWAD", in a {{color|silver}] texture, in the process, having it spin several times to face the screen.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The stock sounds of a chicken's cries and panicking, first heard from a distance and then in the foreground, alongside whooshing sound effects. Later, squeaking and clicking from the text play.

Availability: The logo is seen on Safari.

3rd Logo (July 14, 2010)

Visuals: The screen slowly pans upwards from a cup in a golf course. A golf ball, containing "ESKWAD" in black, rolls towards the screen and stops at the edge. In the end, a gust of wind results in the golf ball falling into the cup.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A golf swing and hit, the golf ball rolling, a gust of wind blowing, and the ball falling into the hole. In the background, ocean waves and seagulls chirping are heard.

Availability: The logo is seen on The Italian.

4th Logo (February 12, 2014-February 11, 2022)

Visuals: In an outer space setting, the screen pans out of a dark blue tinted Earth with large stone fragments surrounding it from the right. "E S K W A D" fades in below the Earth and gains brightness when a horizontal light flash occurs behind the lower portion of the Earth.

Variant: On Beauty and the Beast, the Earth morphs into a rose.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: An ominous space ambience track plays first. Later, a harmonious vibrating set of soft notes play.

Availability: The logo is seen on Beauty and the Beast (2014), Entre Amis, and Big Bug.

5th Logo (October 19, 2022-)

Visuals: On a black background with a dim dark blue dusty light on the left, the letters forming the company name, in a blue tint, fly in from various directions of the screen to meet in the centre. By that time, the background light has floated upwards, changing the background to solid black for a brief period. Then, a scrolling light from the left wipes out the text.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The opening theme of the film.

Availability: The logo is seen on The New Toy.
