Background

Global Television Network (commonly known as Global or occasionally Global TV) is a Canadian English language television network.

1st ID (1974-1984)


Visuals: On a black background, 4 ribbons fly up from the bottom of the screen and then spin around forming a G. The name zoom out one by one into the middle of the G with a trail effect and zoom back in as the G flies around and goes back to the bottom of the screen.

Variants:

  • A short version exists where it starts from the text zooming out.
  • During the sign-off, it does the same as the variant above, but it skips the zooming in part and the ribbon exits differently, where it goes back, then forward to cover the screen.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The next logo's music, or a different instrumental tune, usually with a voiceover on top of it.

Audio Variant: During the sign-off, a soft-rock track by Tommy Ambrose is played.

2nd ID (1977-1984)


Visuals: The text "Hey Global" appears on the screen and glows, then it zooms in out of the screen, then the "Watcha got" text appears in similar fashion. It cuts to the Global logo, which expands and compresses. It glows again before the text "Global's got it" appears below.

Variant: A short version exists where it starts when the G compresses.

Technique: Traditional Scanimate animation, done by Image West.

Audio: An upbeat rock tune called "Global's Got It".

3rd ID (1979-1984)


Visuals: Golden streaks form an outlined version of the G and disappear. The G fills in with colour and streaks wipe in the name. The G and name then finally zoom in.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: A different upbeat synth tune with a voice saying "So much brighter, so much better, Global's got it!".

4th ID (1980-1984)

Visuals: 4 rainbow streaks fly across and go in a spiral to form a distorted rainbow version of the G. The name zooms out and streaks make the G red and make the proportions right.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: A trumpet tune.

5th ID (1982-1984)


Visuals: A grid is seen tilting forward with name flying. A TV screen is seen from distance and name goes through it. The name tilts forward and a red shape zooms out revealing it's the G. The logo has a shine on one of the tips.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A variety of pop tracks are used, with a voiceover on top of it.

6th ID (1984-1987)


Visuals: The name zooms out on a black-blue gradient background. A dark G also zooms out and flashes white, fading to red, and the name fades out. The G shines.

Visuals: The G in silver rotates into place and streaks wipe in the name which zooms in.

Technique: 2D animation.

8th ID (1985-1987)


Visuals: Same as the Dark G ID, but there are some major differences:

  • There are stars falling down with trails.
  • The background has coral pink added to the bottom, which scrolls away.
  • The name is in gold and drops down with the stars.
  • The G is gold and flashes into a slight brighter shade of red.

Technique: CGI by Omnibus Computer Graphics.

Audio: Same as the Dark G ID or a sombre piano tune.

9th ID (1987-1995)


Visuals: The text "Global" and "Global Television Network" in different fonts and sizes move in different directions in the background while a rainbow appears. The rainbow reveals itself as the G logo before turning red and moving to the centre of the screen.

Variants:

  • In the logo's final year, the "CANWEST GLOBAL SYSTEM" text is added in the background and on the finished logo.
  • If an area's transmitter requires technical maintenance, the text "Due to necessary technical maintenance, Global Television will go off the air in some areas." is present.

Technique: CGI.

Audio Variant: There is a second arrangement without the saxophone, and is used during the morning.

10th ID (1991-1995)


Visuals: On top of a black/blue smoky background, the text "Global" and "TELEVISION NETWORK" on cylinders rotate clockwise and the stars and the inside cylinder rotate counterclockwise. They move up once more coloured cylinders rotate into place and form the G logo. The logo turns red and moves to the centre of the screen, with the "CANWEST GLOBAL SYSTEM" logo appearing below.

Visuals: At the end of each ident, they transition into a new Global logo, which is the text "Global", with a red crescent below it.

Variants:

  • Globe: On a black background, a red and orange globe (a la the 1997 BBC One "Balloon" idents) rotates and fades into the Global logo.
  • World: An aurora shines over a globe which zooms out and fades into the Global logo.
  • Fruits: On a black background, there is an apple stretch, then the apple bounces on an orange background with 2 green pairs then it goes to a blue background with more fruit (apples, pears, peaches, and bananas) and it goes back to an orange background with just the red apple in the beginning, changing the background to black and the apple stretches and morphs into the 1997 Global logo.

  • Flowers: A vanilla flower's stem appears and the camera zooms out, revealing more flowers. They zoom out and form the stem which turns into the Global logo.
  • Loon: A loon floats on top of an ocean. It dives underwater with more loons appearing. The final loon swims into the shape of the crescent of the Global logo.
  • Butterfly: A butterfly flies over flowers. On the next shot, the flowers turn into butterflies, and the orange butterfly flies off the screen, uncovering the Global logo.
  • Artifacts: A wooden face flies out of the screen, uncovering swimming wooden sharks. The next shot fades in where there is a totem pole and a swimming fish. The camera moves through the eye of a mask, and a raven beak mask is seen. The beak opens in quarters revealing another face, which opens and lets out a light which forms the Global logo.
  • Flags: Maple leaves appear and fly all over the screen and some turn into flags of Canada's provinces. A single maple leaf then wipes the screen and forms the Global logo.
  • Countdown: A count-up to 6 appears on the screen, then multiple count-ups and count-downs appear. A countdown from 10 to 1 then appears and after the countdown is finished, the Global logo appears on the screen.
    • There is a second variant of this ident where except for the "0" and Global screens, the colours are inverted.

Audio: Same as the last logo.

18th ID (2013-2016)


Visuals: In indescribable ways, the ribbon duplicates itself, does a lot of movements, and/or explodes into more ribbons. After all that is done, the red ribbon moves into its normal place and the text appears from inside of it.

Variants:

  • A "Part of Shaw" variant exists, where there are ribbons in either green, purple, or red in the background, and the Global logo does what it usually does before a transition to the Shaw logo.
  • A montage of variants of this ident is used during the sign-off.

Technique: CGI by BDA Creative.

Audio: As always, the music varies.

Audio Variants:

  • During the montage, a metro jazz track called Soho Sound by Daril S. is played.
  • For the "Part of Shaw" variant, different music is heard, with the same "You're watching Global. Part of Shaw." as the last two logos, followed by two chimes (Shaw's mnemonic from 2012-19).

19th ID (2016-2020)

Trivia: This logo was made to fit the Corus purchase of Shaw's media division.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: A magic theme.

20th ID (2020-)


Visuals: The ribbon moves to the left, uncovering the Global text.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: A drone theme.

Audio Variants:

  • On the Pride Month variant, a rock theme is used.
