Logo: On a black background, we see a cerulean eye-like shape, which becomes a hexagon and then a "3" that slightly zooms out while a world map highlighting all the French territories appears. The "3" then fades as the map becomes blue and fades out, and a drawing of the map of France zooms in while the words "FRANCE REGIONS" appear. Then trapezoids in multiple colors (clockwise top-to bottom: yellow, orange, purple, red, green and blue) appear around it, forming a hexagon. Then the drawing of France disappears, the text turns into the outline of the eye-like shape, all of the trapezoids slowly turn blue, and "FR3" sppears on the center of the hexagon.

Variant: There is a closedown variant in which the logo plays in reverse.

Logo: We first see the FR3 logo on top, separated by a bar with the slogan "Le relief de la vie" ("The relief of life") below.

It then zooms in on one of them while the logo and slogan both fade in below the eyes.
