1st Logo (December 2001-2007)

Visuals: A black-and-white eye zooms out spinning on a white background, and the word "CINEFLIX" flies out of it below. The eye then blinks and its pupil turns blue.

Variant: On international productions, the text "Distributed by Cineflix International" is seen fading in below the logo.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: None or the closing theme.

Audio Variant: Earlier on, a repeating guitar string theme was used.

Availability: Seen on Cineflix's earlier productions.

2nd Logo (2007-)

Visuals: On a white background, a pair of blue circles draws in, followed by a smaller pair of circles. Meanwhile, they spin around and the space between them gets filled except for a bit at the two sides. Then, another pair of circles forms and inside it a red circle that soon opens up to a "c" shape, while the blue circle bits merge into a bigger "c", then split again. During this, the word "cineflix" flies in below the formation, and the whole thing turns 2D.

Variants:

A version exists with the inner "c" in blue.
On scripted productions, the word "Rights" flies in with the company name.
On international productions, the word "International" flies in with the company name.
An alternate version is seen on Cineflix's website, in which the logo is all green on a black background and "Studios" flies in with the company name. The formation then zooms in and deforms.

Technique: CGI by British design agency Mindcorp.

Audio: None or the closing theme.

Availability:

Seen on Cineflix productions since 2007.
The "Rights" variant also appears at the end of a Yle Areena streaming print of The Day Will And Kate Got Married, following the Finestripe Productions for ITV endcap as well.
