Background
This is the second channel of ORTF (initially RTF Télévision 2 under the ownership of RTF) after said channel rebranded RTF and its other channels. On 1 October 1967, the channel switched to colour using the SECAM system, making it the first colour television channel in France. In 1974, the company renamed itself to Antenne 2.

Then we see gaping holes moving out, creating color illusions. Then we see colorful shapes forming patterns around a circle, with a red circle zooming in on its center. After that, we see green ovals and violet circles appearing on a white circle in the center of a red background. Ultimately, the text
