'''Visuals:''' On a {{color|green}} background with a {{color|hotpink|flamingo pink}} hole, a cartoon {{color|gold|golden}} robot with roller skates emerges from the hole, as it expands to fill the screen and the robot starts running into place. From this point forward, the screen becomes a {{color|hotpink|flamingo pink}}/{{color|pink}} gradient background with occasional bars of white to pass across it, and several more people start to join the robot's company forming a crowd, each in their own unique way in the following order:
'''Visuals:''' A small robot with roller skates pops out of a hole and begins to run. As the camera slowly zooms out, a larger and larger crowd of people also run with the robot, with the backgrounds changing to anything and everything. As soon as music stops, a man pops out of a hole which makes everyone looks at the camera and a white screen zooms in on all the characters, getting stuck on one lady's head. Her head then turns into the pink pupil of the Fuji eye as the rest of the logo instantaneously grows out of it.
* A newspaper slips in from the right and pops into a office worker checking his notes as papers fly away from him, before getting into a more optimistic position.
* A photographer pops in and takes several pictures, each signified by the screen flashing.
* A record and a TV camera pop in, gaining a DJ and a crew of cameramen and such pop up behind it, followed by an attractive hostess and a camerawoman emerging from the lens.
Following this, the background fades to a {{color|gold}} color as revolving white "sunrays" revolve around as a cartoon {{color|purple}} pterodactyl and a {{color|pink}} dinosaur move in from the right side of the screen, suddenly changing into a caricature of Sun Wu Kong in {{color|green}} robes and a {{color|silver}} UFO before flying off-screen. The camera then shows the crowd running through the following backgrounds in this order:
* An flashy cartoon city at night, with flashing neon signs and {{color|pink}} and {{color|deepskyblue|light blue}} spotlights streaking the sky. The crowd is running down a abstract {{color|gold}} road as the camera pans in and out of them.
* 2 large rock structures on a sunny day, with the crowd running across a wood bridge as it begins to collapse.
* The crowd running away from a steam engine in a mountainous jungle-like setting, with a biplane flying in front of the shot at the upper part of the screen.
The footage then cuts back to crowd in the pink background as more business workers pop into the crowd collecting their phones, a dog on a tiny {{color|red}} motorcycle drives in, and then a Elvis-like dude in a tropical shirt pops out of a hole, spooking the dog for a bit, and then the entire crowd stops and strike their final poses, their heads snapping into position after a moment. Finally, a iris-out effect occurs to reveal a white background, but the hostess' head gets stuck in it and delivers a shocked expression, and then fades to the Fuji logo popping into view. The logo consists of a hand-drawn circle with 3 lashes poking through the top, along with a dot as the actual iris in the center, colored {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} and {{color|hotpink|hot pink}} this time. Below, the Japanese characters "{{Tt|{{color|Darkblue|'''フジテレビ'''}}|Fuji TV}}" fade in, set in their signature typeface.
'''Trivia:''' The logo was originally designed by Katsu Yoshida, while the wordmark was designed by Yuji Baba. The eye is meant to represent the feeling of warmth and familiarity. The designs used in this are possibly made by Susumu Matsushita.
'''Variant:''' When the logo was originally introduced as a commercial to promote the Fujisankei Communications Group rebrand, the text below reads "{{Tt|{{color|Darkblue|'''フジサンケイグループ'''}}|Fujisankei Group}}" in a slightly different typeface.
'''Technique:''' Traditional animation.
'''Audio:''' A tribal-sounding chant yell plays out as drums play out, followed by a harp strum. This continues into a upbeat, energetic pop tune with bass and trumpets, stopping when the crowd take their final positions. On the original version, however, it ended with with a chorus of Japanese children singing "OOOOOH! YEAH YEAH!"
'''Audio:''' A fun energetic musical piece (which consists of a tribe chant at the beginning with drumbeats throughout which is followed by a harp and then brass instruments which is followed by an electric guitar) that fits the tone of the logo.

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, 3 white lines and a dot fly in and streak around the center of the screen, fading to {{color|yellow}} as they do. The dot vanishes as the lines revolve before they move into a position similar to that of the Fuji eye, which causes them to explode sparks and generate a fuzzy scanline aura around them. A {{color|lightblue|light blue}} light draws in a circle based on the remnants of the sparks to create the surrounding eyelash part of the eye while a streak of {{color|dodgerblue|blue}} curves swirl around and create thin circles, the lines fading out in the process. The remaining ring then turns into a series of revolving circles and {{color|orange}} blocks haphazardly appearing and forming a dot, the lines also suddenly reappearing to form a odd version of the Fuji eye logo before everything glitches away to leave the dot. The dot then jumps vertically to form a thin vertical line, eventually transitioning to the vertically-arranged Japanese text "{{Tt|'''フジテレビ'''|Fuji TV}}", which zooms out slightly. The text then jumps and blurs out of existance as an thin white oval fades and revolves into place with some snapback, containing the text "{{font|Arial|{{big|'''''DVD'''''}}}}" inside of it, along with "'''''Fuji Television'''''" below in a futuristic font. The oval then spins and fades out.
'''Visuals:''' First we see glowing dots and lines come out of nowhere which then turn into the Fuji/Pony Canyon "eye" (glowing in blue with yellow eyelashes) which emits sparks. Then multiple {{color|darkgray|dark gray}} circles enclose the eye and a white glow shines around the circles, during which the {{color|yellow}} eyelashes disappear. The {{color|dodgerblue|blue}}-outlined circle (the "eye") goes away with multiple {{color|dodgerblue|blue}}-outlined circles that flip around and some {{color|orange}}-glowing lines flicker around. A small {{color|dodgerblue|blue}} flash glows around the circle and the {{color|orange}}-glowing lines form the pupil of the eye, then the {{color|yellow}} eyelashes appear again and the {{color|orange}}/{{color|yellow}} pupil flashes. The {{color|dodgerblue|blue}}-outlined circles, {{color|yellow}} eyelashes and {{color|darkgray|dark gray}} enclosing circles then disappear while the pupil stays until it becomes a vertical {{color|orange}}-glowing line that stretches out and some Japanese letters squish in. Finally, a circle appears with the following text:
<center>
'''''DVD'''''<br>
''Fuji Television''
</center>
spins in and out.
'''Variant:''' OnA zoomed-in version exists, seen on the DVD of ''The Uchoten Hotel'' (as well as others), this logo is filmed and zoomed in by quite a bit.
'''Technique:''' 2D computer animation.
'''Audio:''' First, aA reversed cymbal crash plays, then some swooshes and ascending whirring/humming sounds, a reversed fast-paced drum tune, a crash, and finally a humming sound when the Japanese words transform to "DVD Fuji Television".
'''Availability:''' Ubiquitous on Fuji's DVD releases of films, especially of the time. Seen on DVDs like ''Bayside Shakedown 2'' and, ''Lorelei: The Witch of Thethe Pacific Ocean'' and ''Check It Out, Yo!!''.

'''Visuals:''' Basically a enhanced remake of the Fuji Television DVD logo. On a {{color|darkcyan|teal blue}} gradient background, 3 {{color|gold|yellow}} lines fly about with streaks across the middle of the screen, and while swooping around, a {{color|blue}} circle draws in with extra thin circles drawing in around it. The lines and circle combine together as the lines slow down and a glowing {{color|red}} mass of revolving rings fades in, forming the Fuji eye briefly before the lines get sucked into the {{color|red}} disc. The ring around it also starts dissipating, and the disc starts to spin rapidly as a row of white squares wipe in the "{{Tt|'''フジテレビ'''|Fuji TV}}" wordmark in a vertical fashion, glowing {{color|dodgerblue|blue}}. The wordmark is wiped away by the squares as a horizontal row of squares wipe in the text "{{color|cyan|{{font|Century Gothic|'''FUJI TELEVISION'''}}}}", and "{{big|{{font|Century Gothic|'''Blu-ray Disc'''}}}}" fades in above it, all of the text (as well as everything else in the logo) glowing with a outward aura. The text continues to slowly zoom out before it fades out.
'''Visuals:''' An updated, CG-ified version of the first Fuji TV DVD logo, but with a {{color|darkcyan|teal blue}} gradient background. Ends with the text
<center>
'''Blu-ray Disc'''<br>'''FUJI TELEVISION'''

"typed" onto the screen in a similar manner to the way "{{Tt|フジテレビ|Fuji TV}}" is typed, except horizontally.
'''Technique:''' CGI.
'''Audio:''' SameSimilar asto the firstFuji Television DVD logo, but with extra clicking noises and a bit more reverbsaturated.

'''Visuals:''' A shot of out-of-focus lights in multiple colors fade in briefly, floating about in the middle of the abyss. Another shot fades in to reveal more dots, as well as a transparent glass version of the Fuji eye off-center, floating about. A close up of the eye then is seen, revealing what appears to be their headquarters reflected inside of the {{color|red}} orb. Finally, it fades to a shot with the eye in the center of the screen, panning to the left as "{{font|Impact|''Blu-ray & DVD''}}" wipe in below also made of glass, before it just fades to a 2D print version on a plain black background.
'''Visuals:''' At first, some dots of color fade in and out. Then, a different angle of the Fuji eye fades in and out as it slowly moves. Another angle, this one much closer fades in and out while moving as well. The camera then moves to in front of the logo, and it slowly becomes its 2D counterpart as the colors fade out.
'''Variant:''' A short version exists. It is mainly used in commercials and on later releases.
'''Technique:''' CGI animation. ▼
▲'''Technique:''' CGI animation.
'''Audio:''' 2 snippets of ominous scraping play out, before transitioning to a descending, soothing piano ditty. Additional warbles and synth noises are also heard.
