1st Logo (June 1, 1996?-2001?)

Logo: Against an brown background, we see the Astro logo with the globe spinning. Behind the logo, there are orange-yellow lights and spinning thin rings. Copyright info in white is seen under the logo.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: Possibly the ending theme of the show or none.

Availability: Extinct. It was seen on Astro's programs at the time.

2nd Logo (2001?-September 28, 2003)

Logo: Against an orange background, we see the Astro logo from before, with "RANCANGAN INI ADALAH SEBUAH TERBITAH" above it and copyright info under it. Behind the logo, there are yellow spinning rings.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show.

Availability: Same as before.

3rd Logo (September 29, 2003-April 26, 2012)

Logo: We start off with a white background, which flashes as it's revealed to be a light on a navy background. In front of the light is the Astro logo, with the text being white and the curvy line being red. Copyright info can be seen under the logo.

Early Variant: From 2003 until around the early 2010s, the logo is much more simpler, and "Rancangan ini adalah sebuah terbitah" is above the logo.

Starting in 2006, the "Rancangan ini adalah sebuah terbitah" and the copyright info was completely changed to {{{2}}}.
