Background

Vision Film made its origins in 1980 as a home video distributor as Film Polski Export & Import of Films Ltd.. It was renamed in 1986 as Film Polski Vision and set up a subsidiary a year later as Vision Film Distribution Company. The Film Polski Vision name disappeared in 1994.

1st Logo (1987-1993)	2nd Logo (1993-1997)	3rd Logo (1997-Early 2010s?)	4th Logo (Early 2010s?- )

1st Logo (1987-1993)

Visuals: On a cloudy sky background, 2 dark grey rectangles fly in from the bottom left and top right respectively, and stop in the middle of the screen, just shy enough from touching each other. The rectangles then swing to the left and right respectively, revealing they are actually 3 grey arrows nested in each other. They also spread apart and reveal a set of grey lines, which flip up to reveal the text "VISION" in a ugly font. The word shines and turns red, before "FILM DISTRIBUTION COMPANY" is wiped in red with a black outline.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A synth whoosh is first heard. This is followed by a synth fanfare with 4 hard notes, a brief flourish, then ending with a timpani beat.

Availability: Seen on old Polish home releases from them, such as Puppet Master, The Banker and Hide and Go Shriek.

2nd Logo (1993-1997)

Visuals: On a white background is the 3D version of the arrows from the previous logo zooming out and move to the center. The camera pans and the 3D words "VISION" in the same style as the previous logo, but with lines rotate and zoom out while settling in the arrows to the center. The word "FILM DISTRIBUTION COMPANY" slides in below.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Same as the previous logo.

Availability: Seen on 90s Vision Film Distribution releases, such as Stalked, Lurking Fear, Cyborg 2, Necronomicon: Book of the Dead, and Castle Freak.

3rd Logo (1997-Early 2010s?)

Visuals: On a black background, we see blue-colored filmstrips zooming out, while three diamonds zooming out. It later splits itself into arrows, as the filmstrips begin to disappear. The logo flashes, and the word "VISION in the same font as the previous logo zooms in with a light effect. The word "FILM DISTRIBUTION COMPANY" wiping in below.

Variant: In later years, the logo was given an enhanced look.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A majestic theme.

Availability: Seen on later Vision VHS and early DVD releases from the company. Also seen on The Witcher/Hexer (2001).

4th Logo (Early 2010s?- )

Visuals: Same concept as the previous logo, only the filmstrips is redefined, but they swirl, and as they disappear, the diamond is realistic and the logo shines, while the word "VISION FILM" wipes in below.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Same as the last logo.

Availability: Seen on Vision Film releases.^[Examples?]

-'''Logo:''' On a dark blood red background, the Film Polski logo, which is a sans-serif "F" in white, while coupled with an red curve, forming a "P", spins around. "FILM POLSKI" (in the corporate font) and "EXPORT & IMPORT of FILMS Ltd." suddenly fade in between the spinning logo, as it stops in the center of the screen. A black square appears briefly before the whole logo fades, in which "PRESENTS" then fades in.

-'''Music/Sounds:''' A distorted descending electric piano theme when the logo is spinning, before going to a kinda ascending version of the theme.
+'''Audio:''' A synth whoosh is first heard. This is followed by a synth fanfare with 4 hard notes, a brief flourish, then ending with a timpani beat.
-'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. This can be seen on Polish VHS prints of Manson International films, among other releases. These tapes usually have the logo in the corner on the box.
+'''Availability:'''  Seen on old Polish home releases from them, such as ''Puppet Master, The Banker'' and ''Hide and Go Shriek''.
-'''Editor's Note:''' Poor animation, but compared to other Polish logos of the 1980s, it's a lot smoother and cleaner. The keyboard theme may also be seen as somewhat creepy.

+'''Visuals:''' On a black background, we see blue-colored filmstrips zooming out, while three diamonds zooming out. It later splits itself into arrows, as the filmstrips begin to disappear. The logo flashes, and the word "<font color="red">'''VISION'''</font> in the same font as the previous logo zooms in with a light effect. The word "FILM DISTRIBUTION COMPANY" wiping in below.
-'''Editor's Note:''' It reeks of cheap computer effects and you can see the logo before it comes in (at least, a small corner).
+'''Variant:''' In later years, the logo was given an enhanced look.

-'''Nicknames:''' "FPV II", "FPV From Heaven"
+'''Technique:''' CGI.
-'''Logo:''' On a black background, a red curve is drawn in by a light. The curve then shifts a bit while zooming out as a marble background forms via sliding bars and the "F" and "V" from before slide in from both sides of the screen, forming the logo. The logo then zooms out and the text "FILM POLSKI VISION LTD" zoom in, as well as contacts and a address. The words then scroll up to reveal a warning screen.
+'''Audio:''' A majestic theme.
-'''FX/SFX:''' The curve drawing and shifting, the background and logo forming.
+'''Availability:''' Seen on later Vision VHS and early DVD releases from the company. Also seen on ''The Witcher''/''Hexer'' (2001).
-'''Music/Sounds:''' A drumroll is heard at first, which is then followed by a piano theme, which is actually the start of Edvard Grieg's "Piano Concerto in A minor".
-'''Availability:''' Rare. It's not that easy to find unlike the logo from before, but these tapes don't have the logo in the corner, but usually on a designated place.
-'''Editor's Note:''' While the animation is still kind of choppy, the CGI has improved as a contrast to the previous logo.
