TV2 (Norway)

1st ID (1988-1989)


ID: TBA.

1st ID (1992-2008)


Nickname: "The Tunnel 2"

ID: On a dark blue background with blurry white rings rotating, a streaking yellow triange flies in and collides with an invisible plate. This causes a shockwave of yellow color to emerge as well as many other details appear and move about. The piece continues upwards as a red curved piece comes in and collides with another plate, giving off a shockwave of red. This continues with another yellow curve, a blue hook-like piece, another green hook piece, and finally a red bar, all while the camera tilts around and rotates around. Among the final piece collected, the camera then rotates towards the pieces, which all then appear and move in to form the TV2 logo, a collection of shapes in yellow, red, green, and blue in the shape of a 2. Glows also appear all around the logo before dying down. The logo shines as the background becomes golden cloth flowing around.

Variant: The logo is usually shortened to the forming of the logo during regular intervals.

FX/SFX: Incredible CGI from the time.

Music/Sounds: A epic orchestral tune with bells, trumpets and more, all leading up to a final flourish that brings a heavenly chorus-like noise.

Availability: Extinct. It was seen at startup and shutdown, but it was last seen being shown at the beginning of shows until 2008.

Editor's Note: A really impressive and awesome logo, especially coming from Norway, a place not known for their excellent logos at the time.
