1st Logo (July 13, 1983-February 15, 1985)

Visuals: On a black background, an outline of a filmstrip with blue, red, and smaller white strips appear from the bottom, forming a perspective design. In the center, the Hachette Première and 20th Century Fox print logos at the time wipe in and then comes closer to the screen. The film strip then leaves the bottom section but remains at the top, making room for "HACHETTE - FOX PRODUCTIONS" underneath.
