1st (known) Logo (Early 1990's-1997)

Visuals: There is a white background scanning out, leaving a black background instead. A gray "M" letter comes from the top of screen, while two "6"s (one white and one red) appear from the left and right of the screen, all moving in time with the music. Once the M6 logo is formed, a small rectangle with "VIDEO" written on it appears. The logo fades out, and we see "PRESENTE".

Technique: 2D animation in line with M6's branding at the time.

Audio: A deeper version of M6's main theme at the time, with different instruments.

Availability: Unknown.^[Examples?]

2rd Logo (1999-2002)

Visuals: There is the M6 Vidéo logo turning while the camera zooms out. After a short flash, the M6 sign becomes static, while confetti-like stripes fly over the screen.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: A noodling sound when the logo turns, a bang, and a drone synth tune.

Availability: Unknown.^[Examples?]

3rd Logo (2002-2011)

Visuals: Similar to the 2002 SND logo sequence, a diagonal light blue flash forms the M6 logo (the M in white and the 6 in black) while the VIDEO text appears with a "wipe" effect, following the diagonal. A laser then forms the blue square around the logo.

Technique: CGI animation, the same as SND's.

Audio: Similar to SND, a deep drone pad tune is heard while the logo fades in with a sort-of booming sound when the laser appears. Unlike SND, however, the laser here doesn't produce any sound except when it appears.

Availability: Seen on video releases of SND films at the time.^[Examples?]

4th Logo (2011-)

Visuals: Same as the 2011 SND logo, but with "M6 VIDEO" instead of "SND" and "GROUPE M6". Also, the camera pans to the upper right.

Technique: Same as the SND logo.

Audio: Same as the SND logo.

Availability: Seen on current video releases of SND films.^[Examples?]
