Logo (October 15, 2016-)

Visuals: There is the respective logos of Tuko Film Productions, Buchi Boy Entertainment and Artikulo Uno Productions zoom out. Behind the logos, the dimmed letters "T", "B", and "A" appear once the second logo appears. Suddenly, the letters turn into white as some spotlights appear that subsequently turn gold. Below the text, "STUDIOS" fades in.

The print logo is presented in both vertical (where the "STUDIOS" text appears below) and horizontal formats, where the "STUDIOS" text appears on the right.

Variants:

Starting with Goyo: The Boy General, a closing variant is used, where the text "TUKO FILM PRODUCTIONS, BUCHI BOY ENTERTAINMENT, ARTIKULO UNO PRODUCTIONS" appears below.
In 2022, TBA Studios started to distribute international films with either the horizontal or the vertical print logo appearing in trailers of films distributed by them:
On the Philippine trailer for Triangle of Sadness, the horizontal print logo appears superimposed over the trailer.
On the Philippine trailer for The Whale, the horizontal print logo is in a shade of blue, appears after the A24 and Protozoa logos.
On the Philippine trailer for Past Lives, the horizontal print logo appears between A24 and The Creatives Bay logos.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: A metallic whooshing sound is heard when each logo zooms in. A flickering sound is heard once the logo lights up, then a robotic sound.

Audio Variants: The closing variant has the ending theme playing over.

Availability: First seen on Women of the Weeping River and was later seen on Goyo: The Boy General (Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral). As of 2022, it is also shown in international films distributed by TBA Studios in the Philippines before their own logos such as Triangle of Sadness, Plan 75 and The Whale though it is absent in the theatrical release print of Everything, Everything All At Once (as well as on HBO Go prints in the country). It also appears on the Philippine prints of Lingua Franca streamed on Prime Video in the aforementioned country but it is absent on most international films that they distributed.

The abridged version of the film logo is sometimes played on trailers, such as on the Philippine theatrical release of Sound of Freedom.
