1st ID (1990-1995)

Visuals: A group of thin white lines going out in the distance is seen. On top of that is a spinning light of various colors (blue, cyan, green, yellow, orange, red, pink, white and purple). Then, blue letters reading "ТВ" fly from the top right corner towards the center before rapidly placing itself back at the corner. After 17 seconds, a miniature statue of the Salavat Yulayev monument fades in. The statue rotates to face the right, then "Башкортостан" in green flips itself upwards from the bottom, casting a shadow.

Technique: A mix of 2D computer animation and model work.

Audio: A calm synth bell theme, which loops thrice.

2nd ID (1995-1997)

Visuals: The sequence starts with a closeup photo of the Earth's surface behind a brown film camera. The camera's lens moves towards the screen before distorting into a red sphere, which fades into a globe spinning counterclockwise. The landmass of Bashkortostan zooms out before turning slightly to the left and zooming back in, then a photo of the Salavat Yulayev monument's silhouette over a yellow sky fades in, to which two translucent waving ribbons (one blue and one green) rise up. The ribbons and sky fade out and the statue fades to gray before it turns to face right. As it turns, a lens flare wipes past the statue and the same Earth surface image fades in the background, followed by three diagonal lines (colored blue, white and green). Several lines rise and fall whilst rotating, causing them to mesh together and transition the setting to a blue-white gradient background. The statue is placed in the center, atop a thin line in the colors of the Bashkortostani flag with "ТЕЛЕВИДЕНЕЬЫ" in white arched over it and "Башкортостан" in blue with a gray outline placed at the bottom. A white lens flare wipes across the arched text.
