A {{color|blue|bluish}}-gray "'''V'''" shape is drawn above the line, with 2 lines coming down from the sides of it as the "'''V'''" wipes in again, forming an "'''M'''".

In the background, the "{{color|gray|'''M'''}}" is shown doing similar things. When the 4 "{{color|gray|'''M'''}}" copies merge, the same "'''6'''" formation from the beginning appears, but this time, it actually all comes together to form the M6 logo. |

1st Ident (March 1-August 31, 1987)
Visuals: Starting off inside a gray tube, it starts to move and zoom away from us, before rotating to near the bottom of the screen. A bluish-gray "V" shape is drawn above the line, with 2 lines coming down from the sides of it as the "V" wipes in again, forming an "M". It zooms out to the top half of the screen, gaining a reflection, as "METROPOLE TELEVISION" types out below. A hand-drawn "6" draws on the right side of the "M" and the text below fades out, leaving the logo.
Variant: The ID had the logo modified, with a bigger, tube-like "6" and brighter colors, spinning around once. The reflection may not be there, and the speed may vary.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A synthesized marching band fanfare for the main launch. The ID had either the same jingle for RTL, but with a chorus singing "M6!", or a synthesized jazz tune.
Availability: The normal variant was only seen on March 1, 1987, when M6 launched.
2nd Ident (September 1, 1987-1999)
Visuals: Fading in to a white background, an "M", being far more angular than before, zooms in sync to the music. As it takes up the whole screen, a black "6" zooms in from the middle, while a red "6" zooms out from the edges as the "M" begins to rotate a bit. The numbers disappear as a blue "6" and a black "6" try to come together, followed by a green "6" and a black "6" from the left and right sides of the screen, then a gold "6" zooming out, and finally a red "6" from the top and 3 black "6"'s from the remaining screens. In the background, the "M" is shown doing similar things. When the 4 "M" copies merge, the same "6" formation from the beginning appears, but this time, it actually all comes together to form the M6 logo.
Trivia: This logo was designed by Étienne Robial, who was also responsible for the Canal+ and La Sept idents at the time. A making of featurette can be seen here.
Variants:
- In another ident, the "M" rotates counterclockwise to the beat of the music, with the "6" zooming in. When the "M" goes back to its original position, the "6" appears on it. This ident has also been used as a production logo.
- For the closedown variant, the logo ran in reverse.
- Different variants also exist for this logo.
Technique: 2D computer animation.
Audio: A catchy and soothing synth orchestra tune, sometimes rearranged to a more rhythmic rendition (featured in the production logo ident) with a chorus of women whispering (sounding like they're saying "fresh rat"), all composed by Philippe Eidel and Arnaud Devos via a Roland D-50.
Availability: Seen on television shows produced by the channel. The "production logo" ident is seen on shows such as Gadget Boy's Adventures in History and The Wacky World of Tex Avery (shortened to the second half). The ident variants only surfaced on VHS tapes from M6 Vidéo.
Legacy: It's a favorite both inside and outside of France.
3rd Ident (1999-2009)
Visuals: Essentially just a still version of the logo, either the 1987 or 1999 variations on a black or white background respectively.
Technique: A still, digital graphic.
Audio: The ending theme of the show.
Availability: Seen on various M6 productions at the time, like Mission Odyssey and Atomic Betty.
4th Ident (2003-2009)
Visuals: In front of a colored backdrop, there is a miniature model of the M6 logo, which spins counterclockwise.
Technique: Live-action.
Audio: A windy or synthesized held-out note.
5th Ident (2009-2015)
Visuals: The M6 logo is in the air, while stuff around it happens that it reflects.
Technique: CGI and live action.
Audio: For the break bumpers, it depends on the variant.
6th Ident (2015-2020)
Visuals: Out of thin air, the logo is growing bigger while spinning. Below flies in the slogan "continuons a vibrer ensemble" ("Let us continue vibrating together" in French).
Technique: CGI and live action.
Audio: Same as the previous logo, but with someone singing "Woah oh oh, M6!"
7th Ident (2020-)
Visuals: On a light gray background, there are colors, shapes and patterns changing, which ends up forming the familiar M6 logo.
Technique: 2D animation, done by Gédéon.
Audio: A series of ambient notes that eventually gains a beat and becomes a catchy, upbeat synth theme. Composed by Laplage.
