C-3 was a network that was launched on December 1st, 1977 as a part of QUBE, an experimental cable system created by Warner Communications. The only show C-3 carried was Pinwheel, a children's television created by Vivian Horner. On April 1st, 1979, C-3 was relaunched and expanded as Nickelodeon. Pinwheel continued airing on Nickelodeon until 1984.
On air and on guides during the time, C-3 was branded with the Pinwheel name and logo.
Visuals: On a black background is a rotating object that slowly morphs into a pinwheel. The pinwheel soon morphs into the pink text "PINWHEEL", the same text from the show's logo. A trademark symbol pops up as a blast comes from the text, causing the logo to quickly turn white. The black background then fades to a red background. A few seconds later, the animation plays in reverse.
Trivia: The animation comes from the show itself, where it can be seen during the title sequence.
Variants: An alternate version of the logo was made, where the animation is replaced by just the red logo, slightly thinner, spinning in. A byline for QUBE fades in afterwards. This ident came in two colors: A blue version and a yellow version.
Technique: Scanimate.
Audio: A synth version of the show theme.
Audio Variants:
Availability: This could be seen between the titular show between its broadcasts at the time. As the logo was not seen on the show itself, it was eventually replaced by the Nickelodeon idents during the time Pinwheel still aired.
