Since RTP will be ditching their five lines symbol by going with a wordmark logo route in four days time, here's a look back on RTP1 changing their logo a decade ago during the Portuguese broadcaster's 59th anniversary.

The 2019 bumpers are finally leaving, they felt empty to me

La 7 is still using the same look?

Urbano Cairo doesn't like to spend that much money, trust.
It's a joke

Not even making a cheap flat look? It's older than a bunch of Rai and Mediaset graphics.

Rai's will turn 10 this year.

They spent all the money on La7 Cinema and Veo7, ask again in a year or something, I guess?
Another bad joke, but, yeah. Cairo isn't that big on making new graphics and stuff for the channels.

And that doesn't make the channel up-to-date with new trends.

And that doesn't make the channel up-to-date with new trends.

It's a channel that mostly airs political-oriented talk shows and stuff, I don't think they need to stay up to date with trends, especially if the graphics do work fine.

That's basically the cause of decay. Even the more generalist WBD channels seem to be better than La 7.

The filler Hír TV used in mid-2006 (at 3:29) is identical to that of BBC World's.

An incomplete compilation of Spektrum (Hungarian feed) idents from 1 March 2001 to 1 August 2010.
30 days ago marked the 25th anniversary of the channel's rebrand in Hungary, as well as the launch of the Czech and international/bilingual versions.



M1 and M2 idents from 25 March 2006 to 14 March 2008.
6 days ago marked the 20th anniversary of the channels' rebrand.




And tomorrow will mark the 15th anniversary of Comedy Central's defunct Hungarian feed rebranding to the Comedymark. I remember the campaign but as a billboard. (Posted early as I'm taking a break from using the Internet that day.)

Bliss was a British channel? From the video quality I thought it was Eastern European. I was aware of that, but I never watched footage of it.

Alongside Spektrum, HBO Czechia also did introduced its idents back in 1997

The Hungarian feed at the same time used idents which were filmed in live-action.


Then from 1 May 2001 it started using the Czech idents.

Here's how the current ECP for the Danish feed of National Geographic channel looks:

And here's the ditto for Kanal 4:

The 2011 VIVA graphics package, designed in-house by MTV Networks Germany, is still my favorite look the channel ever had. I usually call it "mirror VIVA" because of the mirrored triangles used in the channel IDs and the song title straps.

The irony is that this design dropped right when VIVA was pivoting hard away from music to run reality shows. VIVA Poland adopted the same graphics on July 17, 2012, and while they eventually dropped the reality formats to bring back 24/7 music in 2015, the actual playlist was bleak. It was just an endless loop of EDM mixed with the exact same classics until the channel folded in October 2017.

Terrible programming eras aside, the design itself still works. If you watch those old idents today, the package completely holds up.

Honestly, I feel the logo was a nice modernization of the iconic, OG, VIVA logo. It still kept the triangles in place! (Also, the OG one did reappear very briefly before the channel close down, done on purpose.)

The slow shutdown of VIVA for me was like some sort of omen on the growth of the Viacom/Paramount crisis
