1st Logo (2000-200?)

Logo: On a tan background, we see the dark red text "FS FILM OY", with dark red outlined versions of the 20th Century Fox and Svensk Filmindustri logos on both sides of the text. Below it, we can also see the smaller "Video, DVD- ja elokuvavinkit" ("Video, DVD and movie tips") in Peignot, with "www.fs-film.fi" in the same font below it. The logo zooms in slowly, while shadows begin to appear behind logos and text, slowly becoming darker.

Variant: A different variant has the text and logos starting out at the same position as the end of the normal variant, but zooming back to the background a while after. The following warning text scrolls up after that:
