Video additions by WyraachUr1st Logo(1985-1989)Standard Logos <a class="external" href="http://hub.tv-ark.org.uk/images/skytv/sky_images/corporate/skytv_ident1989.jpg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="external" href="http://hub.tv-ark.org.uk/images/skytv/sky_images/corporate/skytv_ident1989b.jpg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a>Variants Nickname: "Europe's Number 1"Logo: Against a cloudy background, or a space background, the stylized SKY text, in 3D and in chrome, flips toward the screen, stops and shines. The text "EUROPE's NUMBER #1" wipes in. Sometimes, we pan through the SKY logo and it zooms out. CHANNEL fades in. FX/SFX: Not bad for the '80s. Music/Sounds: A majestic fanfare, with an announcer saying "This is Sky, Europe's number 1.". On the space variant, a synth guitar theme plays, then after the announcer says "This is SKY.", a choir sings "Europe's number 1.". Availability: Extinct, but preserved on tape by various people.Editor's Note: None.2nd Logo(1989-1993) Standard Logos Variants <iframe frameborder="0" height="186" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/c4ac026f48e73abb76d8999e7d2972a72ea427eb" width="247"></iframe> Nickname: "First-Generation Sky Look"Logo: We start with an extreme close up of the SKY logo, panning through the letters. Then we zoom out, and a gold line writes out the word "channel". On some shows, the word "TELEVISION" zooms out. FX/SFX: The zooming out, and the writing of the word "TELEVISION". Music/Sounds: A light mellow tune combined with what sounds like the ticking of a clock. On the "TELEVISION" variant, a single synth theme was used.Availability: Extinct, but preserved on tape by various people. Editor's Note: None.3rd Logo(1989-1993) Standard Logos Variants Nickname: "Neon Sky"Logo: On a black background, we see the SKY logo rotating into place, with what looks like glass swirls spinning counterclockwise around it. When it stops, tilted at an angle, a gold line writes out the word "Channel" (or One, as of 1989). The letters "glow".Variant: In 1990, the script "One" was replaced by a sans-serif "ONE" which descends into the logo, accompanied by a thinner neon light version of it.Note: On 30 July 1989, Sky Channel became "Sky One", the name was used until 1996 and again from 1997 to 2008.FX/SFX: Absolutely modern effects which could still stand up, even today. Sky was always famous for its professional-looking idents. Music/Sounds: Same as the 2nd logo. Availability: Same as the 2nd logo, unfortunately. Editor's Note: None. This is a nice logo. 4th Logo (1993-1995) Standard Logos <a class="external" href="http://hub.tv-ark.org.uk/images/skytv/sky_images/corporate/skytv_ident_1994.jpg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a>Variants<embed allowfullscreen="true" height="159" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/youtubevideo/3112304886e74843d4c249dac2ccbc5ba3ebe572" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="198" wmode="transparent"/>Nickname: "'90s Sky" Logo: On a blue background with the words "SKY ONE" swirling around, we see a bunch of streaks fly in and form the SKY "ring", and 3 glass copies of the SKY logo, at an angle, forming one SKY logo. It turns to rotate us, and tilts back a little bit. The letters O, N, and E, encased in silver "boxes", fly in, and turn red, yellow, and blue, respectively. The whole thing shines. Variants: There were many, depending on the topic. ( e.g : Sports, Sports 2, News, Movies, Movie Channel, Movies Gold, Travel, Soap). FX/SFX: Another professional masterpiece. Music/Sounds: A nice mellow tune, composed by jingle writer Frank Gari. An announcer says "From the Sky Satellite Network, this is Sky One.". Each of the Sky channels had a jingle which incorporated the musical logo from this jingle (a recurring set of six notes); for example, Sky News's version combined it with Gari's Great News (used by the channel from 1989-1993), and Sky Soap had a version that sounded like the theme song to General Hospital.Availability: Same as before.Editor's Note: None; this is very professional. 5th Logo (1995-1996) Standard Logos Variants<a class="external" href="http://hub.tv-ark.org.uk/images/skytv/sky_images/skysports/skysports2_ident96a.jpg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="external" href="http://hub.tv-ark.org.uk/images/skytv/sky_images/skysports/skysports3_ident96a.jpg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="external" href="http://hub.tv-ark.org.uk/images/skytv/sky_images/skysports/skysports_gold_id95.jpg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><embed allowfullscreen="true" height="141" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/youtubevideo/d5d14a94218365e599f0fbdc56eb794f4f8a94c1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="177" wmode="transparent"/> Nickname: "First-Generation Tombstone Look" Logo: On a swirling background which flashes, the SKY logo, in a long rectangle, rotates to face the screen while zooming out.

It rotates to face us with a flash, and the number 1 ( or number 2) fades in. Four comets streak behind the logo and the background swirls and twirls wildly. Sometimes, the rectangle that the logo is in is horizontal instead of vertical.Variant: During Christmas 1996, each of the Sky channels shared a universal look, which featured the logo, coming out of a TV, then out of a house with a family doing something in the snow and then becomes a snow globe saying "Merry Christmas from Sky 1996" with Sky's "Egg" logo used at the time, with a candle lighting it up. Each channel featured a different variant:Sky 1 and Sky 2 - Homer Simpson appears with the family. The daughter appears to be covering him in snow.Sky Movies/The Movie Channel/Sky Movies Gold - the daughter holds a movie clapperboard. The Father also wears a red wintercoat.Sky Sports 1, 2 and 3 - The father, daughter and sister play Football/Soccer, while the Mum and dog watch, in the same poses as the Sky1/Sky2 version.Sky Soap/Travel/News/Scottish - The family pose, in the position where the camera zooms out.

Logo: There are 6 (and maybe more) different logos in use for the Sky trio since it's rebrand in August. Each channel uses a different theme for its logo: 1 has blue crystals, 2 has green slime and 3 has pink sparkles. Aside from 3 basic versions, there is a Lost and a Bones themed ident, as well as one which was made for Christmas 2008. FX/SFX: Varies on each version of the logo.Music/Sounds: Each logo has its own unique jingle.Availability: Extinct.Editor's Note: None.16th Logo(2012/2013?/17th April 2016)Logo: Over live action footage, a CGI 1, 2 or 3 is featured. The channel logo fades in towards the end. In later years, Sky 1 started to use their own unique variants instead of the standard ones, promoting shows like Arrow, The Muppets, Stella and You, Me and the Apocalypse, to name a few.FX/SFX:All of them are more or less live action, though the logo is rendered in CGI. The Arrow variant, for example, has the titular hero shoot the Sky 1 logo with an arrow, causing it to shatter into many pieces, the logo reforming a few moments later. The Muppetsvariant features the logo appearing as Miss Piggy walks into view, covering her face to her annoyance. She walks off the screen, and reappears a moment later, this time standing directly in front of the logo.Music/Sounds:As with the previous logo, all of them feature their own unique jingle and/or sounds.Availability:Now extinct. The logos might be preserved on sites like Youtube or TV-Ark.17th Logo18th April 2016 - )TBA
