Radio Philippines Network

Background
Radio Philippines Network (RPN) is a television network based in Quezon City, Philippines. It was established on February 25, 1960, using "Kanlaon Broadcasting System" as its initial branding (named after the volcano of Benedicto's hometown in Negros) until 1975 by a crony of dictator Ferdinand Marcos named Roberto Benedicto. Television broadcast operations began on October 15, 1969 with its launch schedule entirely having color programs. The network, together with Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation (IBC) and Banahaw Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), was sequestered after the People Power Revolution that toppled the Marcos regime in 1986.

5th Logo (April 2, 1982-October 7, 1989)
r4XcitLuV2o Kd5cRwtNN6M

Nicknames: "The Leader II", "RPN in Space"

Logo:


 * 1982-1986: On a space background, 3D letters are saying, "LOOK UP" and "WITH" flipping to reveal itself to the viewer. Then we cut into a scene where the RPN logo outline zooms out 3 times, with a trailing effect, until it reveals the full print logo. While the logo glints, a big stylized "9" draws itself in the right side of the screen, with a small circle zooming in, inside of the "9" and it glows. The words, "THE LEADER" reveals itself in the bottom of the print logo, via a sparkle. The logo shines, before cutting into another scene, in a black background with the wordmark "RPN" in the Peignot font. The wordmark glows, for about 8 times, before a red rounded rectangle fades in behind the wordmark, and the glow expands. The words "TELEVISION" wipes in at the bottom of the logo.


 * 1986-1989: On a space background, the 3D RPN print logo slides from the right screen, zooming out from the left, but after a few seconds, the logo leaves a trail effect while zooming out quickly, causing an explosion. It transitions into a light blue/lavender background, with a sparkling stylized "9" from before, then it zooms in with a trailing effect, ala the "Viacom V of Doom" logo. Then the lasers reveal the RPN print logo, the stylized "9", and the words "THE LEADER", one by one. The logo glows.

FX/SFX: All Scanimate.

Music/Sounds: A synthesized orchestral fanfare. The 1982 version has an extended version and an announcer (probably Ernie Angeles) saying, "We now pause to allow our provincial stations to identify themselves.", while the 1986 version, the music fades in for the few seconds, then accompanied with some laser sound effects that syncs with the four notes.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: The logo is well made for the 1980s.

(October 8, 1989-September 30, 1994)

Nicknames: "The Future", "Your 24-Hour Service Network"

Logo: In a purplish sky background over a rocky surface, a shine appears from the bottom. Then, a golden ball rises from the shine, and rotating itself to reveal the number 9 behind it. The letters then would fly in front of the ball, then finally stopping on its corresponding places. The slogan "THE FUTURE.", zooms in via trailing effect.

Variants:
 * There is a variant where after the logo finishes, it slides down to reveal an outline of the world, with the sentence, "YOUR 24-HOUR NETWORK" zooming in via trailing effect. The music is a bit delayed, so it would finish into the transition shown in the video.


 * There is a special animated variant in 1991, where it starts inside a home with a television set switched onto channel 9, then transitioning into different places. Finally, it then transitions into a transmitter, where it emits circles/radio waves (ala the RKO Radio Pictures logo), where it transitions into the logo itself. After the logo finishes, the print logo then zooms out to give space to the words, "YOUR 24-HOUR SERVICE NETWORK", sliding/zooming in, over the tilted Philippine map on a black-dark green gradient.

FX/SFX: Nice CGI.

Music/Sounds: A news-like tune at the beginning, then when the ball reveals the number 9, the music became bombastic. It is sometimes accompanied by an announcer (commonly Andy Santillan) saying, "This is New Vision 9. The Future."

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: Its CGI animation holds up well during the '90s.

Editor's Note: The standard version of this ident is usually followed by footage of a waving Philippine flag with the phrase "Towards a Strong Republic" (in white and uppercase) wiping in from left at the bottom of the screen, transitioning to a space background with a bigger KBP logo in white and the word "MEMBER" above. Both scenes are set to an orchestral fanfare which rises up during the footage of the waving flag, then becomes more bombastic when the KBP logo is shown.
