'''Visuals:''' On a black background, 2 golden bars of light slide in and wipe in the golden text "{{color|gold|{{Font|Times New Roman|'''<u>M E D I A S E T</u>'''}}}}", which is spaced out to match the underline's length. After it wipes in, the emblem from the Fininvest logo fades in and the cog shines.


'''Variants:'''
1st (known) Logo
* Sometimes, the word "presenta" in a yellow Times New Roman font fades in below.
(1987-1995)
* There's also a filmed version with darker colors and "presenta" in a white Garamond font.


'''Technique:''' CGI.
Logo: On a black background, a yellow light slides away to the left of the screen, revealing "SILVIO BERLUSCONI COMMUNICATIONS" with the 3rd part smaller and separated by a line. Another yellow light draws a circle on the top and flashes, revealing the logo, which is a seat connected to a flower-like cog and is also sitting on a oblong. The logo flashes and "presenta" appears and flashes below.


'''Audio:''' Same as the Silvio Berlusconi Communications logo, but at a slightly lower pitch.
Trivia: The logo is actually part of the Telemilano (and to some extent, Canale 5) branding, then acquired & modified for Silvio Berlusconi's services at the time.


'''Availability:''' This was used mainly as a logo for television shows. It can be seen on early reprints of the ''Fantaghirò'' series, plastering the [[Silvio Berlusconi Communications]] logo. It was also seen on other productions like ''Il Deserto di Fuoco''.
Variants:
There's a filmed version, which is described above, and a videotaped version, with 2 bars of light wiping in the same text, but straighter and in a more golden color. The light draws a circle a similar way in the filmed version, but wipes away to reveal the logo and flashes again. The text flashes instead of appearing.
There is an English variant of the videotaped version. where the text on the bottom says "presents".

'''Visuals:'''
Music/Sounds: A synth jingle with a six-note entry near to the end.
* Version 1: There is a spark drawing in a line which morphs into a blue oval with the text "''UNA PRODUZIONE''" in italics. Meanwhile, the Mediaset logomark flies out in 3D, along with a gray "{{color|gray|'''MEDIASET'''}}" below, before 3 sparks appear from the bottom and create the logos of the three Mediaset-operated channels (Canale 5, Italia Uno, and Retequattro). A gray arc joins the channel logos together.
* Version 2: The gray and blue emblem moves to the upper center while the name zooms out and pans under it. As the logo formed, the three sparks come up and form the channel logos, while everything slightly zooms out to make room for a blue oval banner with "''PRESENTA''" that flips in below.


'''Variants:'''
Availability: Uncommon. It appeared on several TV movies. The English videotaped version appears on Shattered Image.
* Some prints have the "UNA PRODUZIONE" version of the logo with its 2nd half sped up a little.
* On a few TV movies like ''Il quarto re'' the long version plays, but "PRESENTA" is omitted and the logo doesn't zoom out.


'''Technique:''' CGI.
Editor's Note: None.


'''Audio:'''

* The synth theme previously used in the 1994 [[RTI]] logo, composed by Franz di Cioccio and Patrick Djivas.

* An extended variant without the "UNA PRODUZIONE" banner exists since 2003. The background at the beginning has been changed into a transparent object with blue lights orbiting throughout a space background, and the whole logo glows in blue before the background changes into the generic spotlight one.

'''Visuals:''' There is a line of light moving down to reveal a complicated background full of glowing lights and lines. The Mediaset logo forms in the middle, being white with the cog wheel in blue.

2nd Logo
(1995-1999)


'''Variants:'''
Logo:
* For TV fictions, the logo was reworked to a more abstract one, with filmstrips floating below.
Version 1 - We see a spark drawing up a line which morphs into a blue oval with the text "UNA PRODUZIONE" in italics. Meanwhile the Mediaset logomark flies out in 3D, along with "MEDIASET" below, colored in gray, before a set of 3 sparks appear from the bottom and create the logos of the three Mediaset-operated channels (Canale 5, Italia 1, and Retequattro). A gray arc joins the channel logos together.
* A more recent variant had both backgrounds superimposed.
Version 2 - The gray and blue emblem moves to the upper center while the name zooms out and pans in 3D. As the logo reveals, the animation of the three sparks forming the channel logos happens, while everything slightly zooms out to make room for the emerging blue oval banner with "PRESENTA" below.
Variant: Some prints have the "UNA PRODUZIONE" version of the logo with its 2nd half sped up a little.

(1999-2006)
* The superimposed backgrounds variant was first seen on the movie ''E se domani...'' released in 2005; and since 2012, it was used as a intro for fictions. It also plasters the filmstrips variant on current prints of older programs.

Background

Mediaset S.p.A. is an Italian media company and the largest broadcaster in the region. Originally formed as Silvio Berlusconi Communications, it derived from TeleMilano Group founded in 1978 by former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi and 38.6% of the group is still controlled by his family. The current name was introduced in 1994 and the company was set as a separate entity the following year. Mediaset held majority shares in the Netherlands-based Endemol, and it also owns Italian film producer Medusa. In 2019, the company reconsolidated its Italian assets under the Mediaset Italia name as part of a then-planned restructuring of the group. In 2021, the company was reincorporated in the Netherlands and restructured as MFE - MediaForEurope while Mediaset Italia was simply renamed to Mediaset.
