Logos[]
1st logo (1985(?)-1995)[]
We see a white stripe moving diagonally as the word "CANAL" appears. It then becomes smaller and bigger and reveals itself to be a rainbow-colored circle. Then the "+" fades in with the "VIDEO" below it. The titles then vanish and the ring becomes thinner.
2nd logo (1995-2003)[]
A white background fades in and a brighter streak wipes in from both directions. This suddenly cuts to flashing various colors, followed by a Canal+ logo fading in on the same white background. The whole thing changes to black and the Canal+ logo appears from above, with a moving 8-pixel grid below. The whole thing disappears, and the Canal+ logo appears again, with a gray rectangle with "VIDEO" below. At the left of the gray rectangle, there's a blue square that changes colors before it changes to blue again for a few seconds.
Music/Sounds[]
1st logo[]
A choir and synth-theme.
2nd logo[]
A single note sung by a soprano opera singer, followed by a percussive theme with a string section. The female notes change with clapping percussion. When the percussions stop (strings continue), a jungle-like crackling sound plays, ending with an echoed, low-pitched beeping sound. The whole music is in sync to the animation of the logo.
Scare Factor[]
1st logo[]
Minimal.
2nd logo[]
Minimal to low. The flashing is sudden and can cause a seizure due to how fast it is. Otherwise, it shouldn’t be a deal to others.
