1st Logo (April 4, 1997-1999)

• 
• 

Visuals: On a sky background, a UFO flies in from the top portion of the screen towards the viewer, which then backs away a bit as the silver text "U F O" flies in from the bottom and places itself below the UFO, which also causes the UFO to turn metallic. At the moment it stops, a black background fades in against the sky background, where we can see the UFO inside a silver filmstrip as wel as the text "U F O" turning red. Underneath is the company's name "UNIFIED FILM ORGANISATION LLC".

Variants: One particular variant has the UFO scene tinted blue.

Technique: All of it is done in CGI.

Audio: The sounds of the UFO followed by a whoosh when the text flies in, followed by a sudden bang and even more sounds of a UFO at the end.

Availability: It was mostly seen on their earliest films, including The Last Line of Defence.

2nd Logo (January 26, 2001-May 11, 2002)

• 
• 
• 

Visuals: On a black background, a shiny blue metallic filmstrip containing a UFO with "U F O" fades in and is seen slowly zooming out to the middle. Once it stops, the text "UNIFIED FILM ORGANIZATION" fades in underneath the filmstrip, with moving smoke inside it.

Variants:

• The filmstrip may vary in color depending on the film.
• On Lost Voyage, the screen is seen to be constantly glitching, which causes the filmstrip to change color and the company name to abruptly appear below after the 2nd glitch.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Mostly the opening theme of the movie.

Audio Variant: Lost Voyage uses a creepy ambient soundtrack with the sounds of glitching.

Availability: Seen on Mach 2 and Lost Voyage, among other films they've produced during the time.

3rd Logo (2002-May 3, 2003)

Visuals: On a black background, the same filmstrip and text from before but in orange fade in with rays of light shining behind it. The rays then disappear after a few seconds to make the filmstrip and the text more visible. Orange foggy clouds can be seen rushing by inside the filmstrip and text. The rays then return after some time and face towards the left as the logo fades out.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A suspenseful rising soundtrack.

Availability: Seen on Silent Warnings and a rare Australian VHS print of Dog Soldiers.
