1st Logo (Early 2000s-2003)

Logo: TBA.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the movie.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (2003-2007)

Logo: On a blue space, we see many copies of "FORTISSIMOFILMS" sliding from the left with different speed and in varied distances. One of them remain on the screen.

FX/SFX: The words slide.

Music/Sounds: A clanking orchestral composition with piano string added near to the end.

Availability: Rare. Was seen on Japanese Story, Snow Cake, Shortbus and Ploy.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (2008- )

Logo: On a deep blue space, we see a cloud of transparent letters, which float and take their places in the logo.

FX/SFX: The words bubbling.

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

Editor's Note: TBA.
