Visuals: On a black background, there is a golden abstract outlined "A" zooming out. The words "FILM" and "URO" wipe in from their left and right sides of the letter, to read "FILMAURO".
Variants:
- On films distributed or licensed by the company, there is a superimposed credit wiping down, that says: "LUIGI e AURELIO DE LAURENTIIS presentano" (the verb wipes from the left). The credit would disappear during the formation of the logo.
- Sometimes, the word "una distribuzione" would appear on the top left or the top center.
- On Maccheroni and the Italian theatrical print of Manhunter, the logo is colored in white and animates faster. The word "presenta" wipes in.
- Rarely, the captions would be omitted.
Technique: Motion-controlled animation.
Audio: None.
Availability: Appeared on the company's first Italian films. It last appeared on Che ne sarà di noi.

Visuals: On a black background, there's a golden abstract "A" that rotates while the camera zooms out. The letters of "FILM" and "URO" zoom in from the sides to complete the logo and make it readable as "FILMAURO". Finally, the logo brightens up.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: The movie's opening theme, The World of Tomorrow, composed and orchestrated by Edward Shearmur.
Availability: This is used as a placeholder logo and was seen only on American, Canadian, British, Irish, Australian, New Zealand, French, German, and Austrian prints of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.

Visuals: In a forest at the nighttime, a shooting star falls from sky onto some trees and explodes, the camera moves towards the trees into a lake. It is revealed that the star is a white fairy alien with three pointy tendrils of energy on her head (possibly named Stellauro, the apparent name of the logo as whole), fallen, who plays with the pond. Stellauro briefly becomes shocked and tells the viewer to be quiet (she says "Shhh!"), before going into the flight. The abstract "A" fades in rotating while she flies behind it and the background transitioning into the night sky via the "radar" wipe, and the rest of the letters to spell "FILMAURO", slide in from sides of "A". Then, the background fades to black.
Variants:
- At the end of Italian prints of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, the Stellauro part was replaced by a longer rotation of the "A". Then the animation continues normally, but the logo appears zoomed-out.
- During 2005 (the logo's first official year), Filmauro celebrated its 30th anniversary. For films releasing during this time frame, when the logo forms it has "30th" zooming out to the top of the logo, but when the background fades to black, the word "a n n i v e r s a r y" fades in below it. This version was seen on films released between 2006 and 2007.
- The logo was enhanced with better, more realistic graphics starting in 2017. Stellauro now looks brighter than it was before this time, and the text is also shinier against a slightly different space background.
Technique: CGI by Proxima and rebelThink S.r.l., while Inlusion did the 2017 enhancement.
Audio: Cicadas chirping, some crystal chimes and a whoosh when a shooting star falls. Then, an epic and soothing orchestral fanfare composed by Giacomo Vitullo, that sounds similar to the 1st Feature Films for Families logo, which pauses when Stellauro is in shock, then resumes after she tells to be quiet, some swooshes when the Stellauro flies, and ending the fanfare with the ding.
Audio Variants:
- In the logo's early years, the theme has a slightly different arrangement with no additional sound effects.
- Starting in 2007, along with the 2017 enhancement, the theme was rearranged.
- On Italian and international prints of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, the movie's opening theme, The World of Tomorrow, composed and orchestrated by Edward Shearmur, plays over this logo and that of Brooklyn Films' own logo.
Availability: This appears currently on all Filmauro movies since Tutto in quella Notte.
Unused Logo
 | This logo is currently missing in action. Please do not add reconstructions of the logo if any exist, as they are likely not accurate to the actual logo. Additionally, do not attempt to add a finalized description of the logo until it has been found in its entirety. |
