Rai 2 (Italy)

1st Logo (1983-1985)
Nicknames: "The Cube"

Logo: On a black background, a red cube flies in as an even bigger orange cube with a wireframe pattern flies into view. The cube then enters the bigger cube, flying through its yellow interior. A TV tube shape flips into view, with a black background with a white glow in the middle, and the text "RAIDUE", with "RAI" in red and "DUE" in orange, flips in. The tube then fills the background and the cube fully disappears as the logo zooms out onto a blue gradient background and a cube in the corner.

FX/SFX: The cubes and screen moving, the text zooming in. Early CGI.

Music/Sounds: Same as the Rai logo at the time.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1985-1988)
Nicknames: "The Cube II"

Logo: On an orange background, a cube is seen flying through some translucent tunnels, filling them with red. The camera then zooms out of the tunnels and rotates upward to reveal the "RAIDUE" logo, along with a bunch of differently sized cubes. The logo's shadow moves a bit.

Variant: An abridged version has the logo already formed, with a single cube flying over the logo.

FX/SFX: The camera moving, the ball moving, and the formation of the Rai text.
