1st Logo (Early 2000s-2003)

Visuals: On a black background, "FORTISSIMO" in teal is seen, with "FILM SALES" to the right of it; "FILM" is stacked on top of "SALES". Below is "PRESENTS".

Technique: A still, printed image.

Audio: The opening theme of the movie.

Availability: It was seen on early international releases, such as Party Monster, but it's likely to be plastered over or replaced by other distributors.

2nd Logo (September 25, 2003-2007)

Visuals: On a blue background, there are many copies of "FORTISSIMOFILMS" sliding from the left with different speed and in varied distances. One of them remain on the screen.

Technique: Sliding effects.

Audio: A clanking orchestral composition with piano string added near to the end.

Availability: It was seen on Japanese Story, Snow Cake, Shortbus and Ploy.

3rd Logo (December 12, 2008-2019)

Visuals: On a deep blue space, there is a cloud of transparent letters, which float and take their places in the logo.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A piano and violin tune, which is actually a sped-up and rearranged rip from the previous logo.

Audio Variant: On some films such as $9.99, the opening sound of the movie is heard.

Availability: This logo tends to plaster old ones. Seen on $9.99 and their films from the period.

4th Logo (2019-)

Visuals: On a black background, many red-orange gradient rounded lines are seen zooming in while rotating and expanding each other's copies. Then they merge, as the stacked words "FORTISSIMOFILMS" fade in above the line.

Technique: 2D CGI.

Audio: A dramatic piano tune.

Availability: The logo is seen on their recent films, such as Super Me.
