2nd Logo (December 18, 2013-December 9, 2015)

Visuals: On a black background, a green radar expands from the centre, unveiling rippled portions of the tall text "RADAЯ FILMS". The logo in its normal state is shown after the last of the radial waves disappear.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

3rd Logo (January 4, 2017-)

Visuals: On a space background, the screen zooms out of a satellite dish containing the French flag on its bottom left. While panning away and then facing downwards, the upper portion of the dish darkens whereas the bottom is tinted in gold from the Sun peaking from the lower left. Eventually, the light becomes white, the satellite dish's fill is black and unveils a minimalist vector graphic of the dish facing the upper right, and "RADAЯ", wiping in below from the top. Following this, "FILMS" wipes underneath said word from left to right, a star emerges to the dish's upper right, and the light dies down.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Space ambiance and echoed radio waves are heard.

Availability: The logo is seen on Les ex Belle and Sébastien: The New Generation.
