Vision Films, Inc.[]
1989–1993[]
Four years prior to Star Cinema's foundation, the driving forces of ABS-CBN including Charo Santos-Concio founded Vision Films in 1989 and it was operated independently from the network and Regal Films.
The logos of this incarnation, however, were depended on the variations used in their films until its dissolution in May 1993 when it was absorbed into the present-day Star Cinema.
The logo variation from the Kapag Langit ang Humatol (1990) was used instead in the posters of the restored versions of the company's films which were released by the successor.

After 14 years of using the same design, Star Cinema gave its "shooting star" logo a major revamp. The golden trail of the star is more rounded, the star became more diagonal and was placed to the head of the trail, and the "Star Cinema" text began using the Gotham font for its typeface. The "ABS-CBN" wordmark and "Film Productions, Inc." text, meanwhile, were dropped in favor of using the byline "An ABS-CBN Company" (with the 2014 horizontal ABS-CBN logo in between). Onscreen, the Star Cinema text uses the Akzidenz-Grotesk font for its typeface. Despite that "Film Productions, Inc." was dropped from the logo, its corporate name ABS-CBN Film Productions, Inc. is still used until today.
The onscreen version of the logo debuted in 2014 in two movies: "The Amazing Praybeyt Benjamin" (co-produced with Viva Films) and "Feng Shui 2", both of which were Star Cinema's entries in the 40th Metro Manila Film Festival. Despite that this logo stopped its usage in 2018, it can still be seen inside the network's headquarters.

For the studio's 25th anniversary in 2018, the trademark shooting star logo was now replaced with the logo of a golden star and three RGB-colored rings (which are also used as the colors of the ABS-CBN logo). Underneath the logo is the ABS-CBN Films logo (with ABS-CBN still use its 2014 horizontal logo). Starting with this logo, the Star Cinema logo is shown on-screen after the ABS-CBN Films logo (which is to divide ABS-CBN's film division from its other divisions upon the creation of Black Sheep Productions in 2018, also an ABS-CBN subsidiary).
The onscreen version of the logo has the same concept, except the star and the rings are bigger. It was first seen in Kasal, released in 2018, although trailers use the 2014–2018 logo.
2022-present[]
In October 2022, Star Cinema brought back the shooting star logo at the end of the teaser trailer for their upcoming film An Inconvenient Love. The teaser trailer also included an animation for the new logo where a bunch of particles turn into the star and shoots up from the bottom right corner and slowly grows in size until it reaches the middle.
The new logo uses the bold weight of the typeface Arimo for its wordmark. The typeface was previously used in the title card for the 2014 logo.
