Draft:France Régions 3

1st ID (January 6, 1975-1985)

• 

Visuals:

• Startup: On a black background, there is a cerulean eye-like shape, which becomes a hexagon and then a "3" that slightly zooms out while a world map highlighting all the French territories appears. The "3" then fades as the map becomes blue and fades out, and a drawing of the map of France zooms in while the words "FRANCE REGIONS" appear. Trapezoids in multiple colors (clockwise top-to bottom: yellow, orange, purple, red, green and blue) appear around it, forming a hexagon, as the background turns gray. Then the drawing of France disappears, the text turns into the outline of the eye-like shape, all of the trapezoids slowly turn blue, and "FR3" appears on the center of the hexagon.
• Closedown: The eye-like shape zooms back on the same gray background as "FR3" appears on the hexagon. The text then disappears, as a wipe transition from the bottom turns the background dark blue and the shape into a white outlined version. It then zooms away into the distance until everything fades to black.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: A calm synth theme. The closedown variant has a piano/guitar rendition of the theme.

2nd ID (1985-1986)

• 
• 

Visuals: There is a rendition of the previous logo, while the different provinces fly behind it. Then the screen zooms out of the logo to see the provinces put on a map of France. It then zooms in slightly below the structure. Then the FR3 logo appears from below while a light writes in the words "BONNE NUIT".

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A different rendition of the previous logo's music and some whooshing sounds.

Availability: This was used on the channel's closedown of the time.

3rd ID (1986-1989)

• 
• 

Visuals: On a blue gradient background, there is the new FR3 logo (a gold abstract "3" and the text "FR3" with the "3" in the same style). The logo rotates a little and zooms in on the abstract "3" while the rest of it disappears, and the "3" zooms in and splits from the screen. After that, sea-related video clips are seen followed by scenes from a concert and various clips of reporters and journalists getting ready to communicate and recording various events. When the montage ends, the "3" logo closes again and zooms out to its original place.

Variant: There is a closedown variant where people are turning off the lights and going home, the studio closing, and even a scene of Goofy getting in bed from the Goofy short How to Sleep.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: An ethereal, calm synth theme in the scenes with the "3" and a beatbox theme during the montage.

4th ID (1989-1991)

• 
• 

Visuals: The first element shown is the FR3 logo on top, separated by a bar with the slogan "Le relief de la vie" below. The line opens to reveal two screens with blinking eyes in them as both texts move outwards and fade out, while other screens with the same image also open up, until there are twelve of them. It then zooms in on one of them while the logo and slogan both fade in below the eyes.

Variant: There is a closedown variant where the logo gets played in reverse.

Technique: 2D animation and live action.

Audio: A mysterious-sounding synth theme.

5th ID (1992)

• 

Visuals: The first element shown is the logo in full view. Then there are mountainous landscapes, barren wastelands and cities. Then the screen zooms in on the streets where several people walking are shown. Then a scene of a walking couple is shown, the woman stares and smiles at the screen and the FR3 logo and the text "FR3. LA TELE POUR DE VRAI." in white both appear below.

Technique: Live-action.

Audio: A synth and piano theme, with an announcer saying "Toutes les télévisions au bout du monde. FR3 au plus, pas au bout de la rue. FR3, la télé pour de vrai".
