RTL Television (Germany)

Logo descriptions by The_Username_15Photos by Video captures by uritswwEditions byBackground: RTL (Radio Television Luxembourg) is a company currently based in Cologne, Germany, launched on January 2nd, 1984. Prior to 1988 their headquarters were in Luxembourg.1st Logo(1955-1984)<iframe frameborder="0" height="206" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/ae073867596aff6deeed11515615f388dbac9281" width="366"></iframe><iframe frameborder="0" height="202" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/youtubevideo/91fab0d96e8f181a2d8d7f9a39e0fb7b852a42dd" width="357"></iframe>Logo: On a background full of circles we see a lion move to the center of the screen. Then from below the line "Télé Luxembourg" can be viewed.Variant:Older variants are in black and white.There is also a variant in which the logo gets played in reverse.FX/SFX: The background, the zooming.Music/Sounds:A majestic fanfare.Availability: Extinct.Editor's Note: None.2nd Logo(1984-1988)<iframe align="right" frameborder="0" height="206" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/c13d26c9f8d5d111bd9e065a59b6a2fda6f3cb02" width="364"></iframe>Logo: On a space background with shooting stars, we see a rotating circuit-board-like tunnel zoom past us for about five seconds. This unfolds and creates a planal figure. There are then bursts of yellow rays in the background. Three blue cubes fly in from afar and land on the plane, with each cube having "R", "T", and "L", respectively appear on them with a flash. The cubes zoom past and the letters fly up to the center of the screen. The circuit-board plane flies away. "TELEVISION" zooms in, and an outline draws itself around the logo. A trailing blue star outline then finally flies diagonally across the screen.Variants:There was a closedown that involved the animation sequences played backwards, with the logo zooming out at the end. There was no whooshing sound in this version.A short-lived variant on the German RTL station (which was known as RTL Plus during the time) had "TELEVISION" replaced by the rounded "PLUS" below the RTL wordmark. This would last until 1985, after they changed their logo.FX/SFX: A complex, yet very well-executed combination of Scanimation and early CGI, especially considering that this is a small Luxembourgeois television station.Music/Sounds: A mid-tempo, partly synthesized soft rock theme. A whoosh is heard when the star flies past.Availability: Extinct.Editor's Note: Some of the animations can be a bit startling, and a few might not be too crazy about the whooshing sound towards the end. Either way, this is a nicely-done logo.
RTP2 (Portugal)

Background: RTP2 was a division of RTP1, a Portuguese television station.1st Logo<iframe align="right" frameborder="0" height="204" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/8a864d0a968b62d29a5f0707b56bdd8253f6dc00" width="271"></iframe>(March 21-June 1983?)Logo: We see a mass of orange lines rise up from the screen, that somewhat form a "2", with a yellow parallelogram on the side. The remainder of the 2 appears (due to it being "three-dimensional"). "RTP" in blue wipes in on the side.FX/SFX: The formation of the 2 and text fade. Choppy cel animation.Music/Sounds: An ascending sawtooth drone.Availability: Extinct.Editor's Note: The music is definitely enough to grate someone's ears, and the logo is very dark.2nd Logo(1983-1988)<iframe align="right" frameborder="0" height="150" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/6aa8bb2e533c098aeba38631c705e0539d7cb977" width="266"></iframe>Logo: We see a light blue light fall onto a blue/black gradient background. This light is actually a tunnel, as the camera pans to the first-person view. It quickly zooms in as an abstract "2" forms. A blue "RTP" wipes in with a faint light passing by.FX/SFX: Cel animation.Music/Sounds: 100 percent synthesized. It begins with an atmospheric-type noise, which abruptly segues into a loud three-note synthesized "orchestra", for a lack of better term. Three dark synthesized piano notes follow, with the same noise from before as the RTP wipes in.Availability: Extinct.Editor's Note: The music and darkness will not be a favorite of many.3rd Logo(1988-1989)TBA4th Logo(1989-1990)TBA5th Logo(1990-1998)TBA6th Logo(1998-2002)TBA7th Logo(2002-2007)TBA8th Logo(2007-2012)TBA9th Logo(2012-2014)TBA10th Logo(2014-)TBA
RTV News

Logo description by TlogosBackground: RTV News Inc. was a reality TV division of Paramount Television (now "CBS Television Studios").(September 9, 1996-May 25, 2002)Nickname: "RTV"Logo: On a background of time-lapsed clouds (a la the second Warner Home Video logo), we see a white-shadowed "R" flying in from the left to the right at warped speed, followed by a "T", and a "V". At that point an orange box fades in, all of the letters leave cutouts of their letters on the box. which says "RTV" with the top-left tip of the "T" seemingly touching the "R". We then see a blurry object on the bottom of the box. It then becomes clearer and it finally reveals to be the words "NEWS INC" sandwiched between two lines. At that point it fades out.FX/SFX: The letters flying in.Music/Sounds: A zapping sound when the letters are moving followed by a synth chord.Availability: Can be seen on Real TV and on Maximum Exposure.Editor's Note: The music might get to some.
RTVi

Nickname: "RTVi Forms"Logo: We see the word "RTVi" going in a 360 slowly zooming out of the screen, and then we see people walking timelapse-like, then two russian letters(may I be wrong) zoom in and goes in a 360, once again.FX/SFX: The people, the letters, and the preview of RTVi.Music/Sounds: A jaunty beat with reggae drums.Availability: Common; seen in Russia on the TV network "RTVi".Editor's Note: None.
RTÉ (Ireland)

Logo descriptions by GranadaTVPhotos by GranadaTVEditions by GranadaTV, TomFromSouthBackground: RTÉ (Raidió Teilifís Éireann) is the state broadcaster of the Republic of Ireland. It began transmission on December 31, 1961 and is dependent on both licence fees and advertising for revenue. 1st Logo(December 31, 1961-December 31, 1963) Logo: A stark image of a St. Brigid's cross (a cross consisting of a square with 4 long arms on each end, usually being made of dried rushes) with the words "TELEFÍS" and "ÉIREANN" on each corner and side of it (Irish for "Television" and "Ireland").FX/SFX: Unknown. Unfortunately, due to a lack of sources, we cannot elaborate on effects, sounds or music on idents before 1989 (most of those that have been seen were usually silent and still). What can be confirmed though is that the design of Brigid's cross was created by Édith Cusack, the Head of Women's Programming.Music/Sounds: Unknown, but it would probably be silent with an announcer.Availability: Extinct. Was seen on RTÉ's inaugural 1961 broadcast.Editor's Note: This is a very simple, inoffensive logo, though the stark background and rugged nature of the cross may unnerve some. The cross would also be part of RTE's logos until 1995. 2nd Logo (December 31, 1963-July 31, 1966) Logo: A remake of the previous logo: the cross is now made of 4 polygons and the words "TELEFÍS ÉIREANN" are now bold. It's also much closer than before. FX/SFX: None. This was recreated by Dick Butterworth to prevent strobing the last logo had encountered with. Music/Sounds: Probably the same as the 1st logo.Availability: Extinct. However, it has made several appearances in the RTÉ documentary series Reeling in the Years (in-programme). Editor's Note: None. 3rd Logo (July 31, 1966-September 30, 1969) Logo: This logo consists of a light grey screen with a darker grey stripe in the middle. In the stripe, there are four white squares, containing an updated St. Brigid's cross and the letters "RTE" in bold font respectively. Notice that the cross is now made up of four triangles (as opposed to the polygons of the second logo) and it is inverted. FX/SFX: None.Music/Sounds: Same as the previous 2 logos.Availability: See 2nd logo. Editor's Note: None.
RV Television

Background: RV Television, ostensibly an imprint of Rands Video Ltd., was a producer of direct-to-video railway documentaries during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Their works were initially published by SBS Video before their library was acquired by Artsmagic Ltd., who rereleased several of their earlier works under different names.(1988-1996)Logo: On a black background, a blue lowercase "r" zooms from the center of the screen to the top left hand corner. shortly afterwards a red checkmark "v" zooms in from the center of the screen and joins itself to the "r", forming the "rv". After the symbol is formed the words "TELEVISION" in yellow and in a blocky font zoom in from the center to the bottom center of the screen, followed by "PRESENTS" in the same font but in white.Variant: When the logo appears on the Classic Trains series of videos, the animation is somewhat more fluent (but still choppy) and the words "TELEVISION" and "PRESENTS" are rendered in 3D, whereas all other instances of the logo display the words in 2D.FX/SFX: The letters and "RV" symbol zooming in from the middle of the screen.Music/Sounds: A calm synth pan flute score.Music/Sounds Variant: Sometimes the sound of steam hissing is heard before the logo fades out.Availability: Found on the majority of RV Television's video releases such as the Classic Trains series (1988- rereleased by Artsmagic as "British Steam") and the Best of Britain's Preserved Railways series (1994- rereleased by Artsmagic as "Best of British Steam"). Believed to have last been used on the British Locomotives series of videos (1996) which were rereleased by Artsmagic by under the episode titles The Classics, Titans of Steam, Strange Trains, A Feast of Steam and A Feast of Diesels. The Artsmagic prints of the videos still contain the RV logo but remove all references of the company on the box (SBS Video's releases contained the print logo). The DVD releases of RV Television's documentaries remove all traces of the RV television logo.Editor's Note: None.

A light shines behind the rabbit as he disappears to a full white background, then the light closes to a moon-shaped circle on a now black background. It shines on a pair of green rabbit ears which then draws a line below it as green letters spelling the words "Rabbit-Ears" appears two by two. After the name is spelled out a second line appears below it as the logo turns 30 degrees away from us to the left. The words "Entertainment" zooms in front behind the logo to the left to go underneath the second line. After that is completed, the rabbit left ear than flaps as light shines on the logo. When the light disappears, the logo glows. A white sparkle shines on the top of the rabbit's left ear as we fade out.FX/SFX: All CGI.Music/Sounds: Has four sets of music. A gentle chimes tune, a few electric keyboard tones and a then a synthesized theme with several drumbeats.

Radio City Music Hall Television Productions

Logo descriptions and captures by Logophile1st Logo(1988)Logo: The logo begins with the camera panning down the vertical sign of the Radio City Music Hall (located in New York City). The sign has red neon outlining around and on the lettering as well. As the camera scrolls down the sign, lighted letters fly inside each letter of "RADIO CITY". (Kinda reminiscent of the HBO Original Movie Bumper from the 1990s.) After it scrolls down to the part where it says "MUSIC HALL" in a stylized font, it then fades to the whole exterior of the building with the vertical sign on top of the horizontal marquee sign reading "RADIO CITY" and "MUSIC HALL" nearby that. All of it is in the same style as the previous sign. Around that is blue neon outlining and below the second neon lining is "PRODUCTIONS" in yellow and blue outlining below that. The signs are attached to the building. On the left are three buildings with lighted windows and a nighttime background setting.

Background: RTM is the state owned broadcaster for Malaysia, launched in 1946. In 1969, RTM launched TV2, and thus their main channel became TV1. As of now, they own four TV channels, six national radio stations and a myriad of local radio stations.1st Logo(1978-Mid 80s)Logo: Against a space background, we see a mix of bright red, yellow and white lights come from each side of the screen. They quickly cross each other in an X pattern before disappearing, revealing the outline of Malaysia in orange. Small white lights quickly trace around the country outline. Then the space in the country flashes and turns orange. A hollow circle grows in the center of the screen. From the left and right of the screen, two curved lines wrap around the circle. Malaysia disappears and whats left is the outline of what looks like an eye. Many yellow, green, orange, blue and clear squares fly into the pupil of the eye. Afterwards, a four pointed star flashes in the pupil. When that clears, the eye now has yellow and orange lids, a teal sclera and a dark blue pupil. The letters "rtm" in a lower cased serifed font fly in one by one, landing in the eye. The logo then zooms back and a light quickly dances around it. A big yellow "1" appears in a flash next to the eye. Underneath it all, the words "SALURAN KOMUNIKASI ANDA" slide in from the right.FX/SFX: Everything, which looks hand animated and rough. It's a very fast paced logo.Music/Sounds: A disco tune.Availability: Extinct.Editor's Note:None.2nd Logo(Mid-Late 80s)Logo: A bright sparkler flashes next to a crescent moon on a blue background.

Teal curves dissolve in around the circle. On the top and bottom of this logo, two flashes going in opposite directions draw the orange/yellow part of the main RTM logo. A white "1" flashes inside the eye, and the text shines.FX/SFX: Passable CGI for its time.Music/Sounds: A bouncy synth tune.Availability: Extinct.Editor's Note: None.3rd Logo(Late 80s-Early 90s)Logo: TBAFX/SFX: TBAMusic/Sounds: TBAAvailability: TBAEditor's Note: TBA
