Radiotelevizija Slovenija (Slovenia)

Background
Radiotelevizija Slovenija is the Slovenian public broadcaster, founded in 1958 as Radio-Televizija Ljubljana along with the rest of Yugoslav Radio Television (JRT). In 1991, when Slovenia became independent, it was renamed to its current name to this day. The broadcaster operates 3 main radio and television stations, with 4 regional radio stations and 2 regional television stations for the Hungarian and Italian-speaking communities of the country.

(known) Logo (1958-1990's?)
Logo: On a light blue background, a golden-gilded statue of a boy (called the "Pastirčka" or "shepherd") is seen on the left side of the screen, appearing to be holding something in his mouth and having his back towards us. A transparent time-lapse video of clouds moving are also seen across the statue as well. The statue starts to rotate to the left, revealing that the boy is holding a flute in his mouth, and then stops rotating. After a few seconds, "RTV" comes zooming in from the middle of the screen and then settles at the bottom left section of the screen, and a white line is drawn below it, bending in several directions to create an line, which is meant to be the silhouette of Ljubljana Castle. After it finishes drawing, a curvy bottom line to represent trees appears below it, followed by "LJUBLJANA" below it as well. The clouds continue to move for a few more seconds before the logo fades out.

Variants:
 * Before color was introduced in 1976, black and white was used instead.
 * In 1991, the text was altered to say "TV SLOVENIA" in a rather awkward way.
 * TV Koper-Capodistria had special variants used for its start-ups from 1971-1986:
 * 1971-1978: The statue is instead placed on a still cloudy sky backdrop, looks a bit less detailed, and is also a bit further back from the camera. The statue stays still for a few seconds before it starts to rotate to the left and stays in place much like the regular variant. After a few more seconds, the sky changes to that of an evening one and "TV" zooms in before a stylized outline of the Praetorian Palace is drawn. After the windows are drawn, the text "STUDIO-KOPER CAPODISTRIA" appears below.
 * 1978-1986?: The statue is now placed on a plain light blue background, and the statue appears to be further zoomed out. "TV KOPER CAPODISTRIA" types in one-by-one in a yellow Arial font with white outlines next to the statue, and then a new logo for CK (a TV-tube shape with a stylized "TV" and the Praetorian Palace's top points below it) appears in the top right. Unlike the previous logo, this is videotaped.

FX/SFX: The statue rotating, and the logo forming, mostly live-action.

Music/Sounds: A soothing, if somewhat somber, orchestral theme with a clarinet solo in the middle ending with a bombastic finish at the end.

Availability: Extinct. Was seen on startups and closedowns from the channels at the time.

Editor's Note: The very slow, ominous nature with the statue, as well as the somber music can bring on the spooks. Some can find it as either more calming or depressive than scary; for Slovenian (and Italian) residents this evokes a sense of nostalgia.

Editor's Note: This is a majestic follow-up to the nostalgic statue idents.
