1st ID (1994-1996)

• 

Visuals: On a black background with moving dark blue stripes, a blurred bronze DR1 logo (a rectangle with a "1" cut-out and the words "DR TV below) zooms out and then zooms in to the screen and starts to deblur, and when it fills the screen it stops. The logo shines a bit.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A calm, guitar melody.

2nd ID (1995-2002)

Visuals: On a black background, there are 2 silver lines at an angle coming from the top and bottom of the screen moving to form an outlined version of the DR1 logo. The lines trace the outside box and the "1" cut-out. When they finish tracing the logo, the ends are cut off and the lines finish the boxes.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: A chill, piano melody.
