Logo captures by mangatd & The M6 Company

1st (known) Logo
(1990's-2002)
Note : This snapshot is in black and white due to a VCR processing error. The real logo is in color.
Logo: We see the SND letters flashing from right to left, with the text "Société Nouvelle de Distribution" appearing below it.
FX/SFX: The flashes forming the SND letters.
Music/Sounds: A tribal theme.
Availability: Seen on some releases from the company, like French prints of Very Bad Things.
Editor's Note: None.
2nd Logo
(2002-2011)
Logo: On a black background, a series of light blue flashes are forming the letters "SND", while "Groupe M6" appears in a "wipe" effect underneath. A laser then forms a solid blue square shape.
FX/SFX: The flashes and laser forming the logo, which were done using CGI effects, despite the cheap-looking aspect of the logo.
Music/Sounds: A drone pad tune, with whooshes heard when SND appears, then a laser-like sound when the blue square is formed.
Availability: Seen on releases from the company at the time.
Editor's Note: None.
3rd Logo
(2011-)
Logo: The camera moves and tilts from the left side of the SND logo, soon revealing the blue SND square on the top of a roulette-like shape with the text "Groupe M6" rotating on it. We also see a comet coming from the upper left of the screen, turning behind the logo, then hitting the floor, and finally leaving from the right side of the screen.
FX/SFX: The SND logo and the comet, again done in CGI. Pretty impressive effects.
Music/Sounds: A synth tune, with a 3-note piano motif, followed by a tribal beat.
Availability: Current. Seen on most releases from the company since 2011.
Editor's Note: This and the parent company's M6 Studio logo have similar animation concepts.

Not to be confused with Italian distributor SND.
