Written and Logo Pictures by Eric S.

1st logo
(1998?-2000)

Logo: On a black background, we see the words "CANAL+", being "CANAL" in italics, at the left of a yellow rectangle. Below it, we see a yellow rectangle under "CANAL+", and at its right we se "IMAGE", being "IM" in italics. Under the logo "INTERNATIONAL" is seen.

SFX/FX: None, the logo just fading in and out.

Cheesy Factor: Very cheap design used here, inspired in Canal + promos from the era.

Music: Silent. It is a distributor, so it doesn't have any opening theme playing over.

Availability: Seen on pre-2000 video and DVD releases of some Criterion Collection movies, like The Third Man. Post-2000 versions plasters this logo with the first StudioCanal logo.

Scare Factor: Low. You may be put off by the cheapness of this logo.
