Draft:O'zbekiston Television

Background

O'zbekiston Television, otherwise simply referred to as O'zbekiston, is the flagship national channel of Uzbekistan, currently owned by National Television and Radio Company of Uzbekistan.

1st ID (1989-1991?)

Visuals: Set against a blue-orange gradient background, a yellow 3D map of Uzbekistan and several 2D pixellated shapes fall down and turn upwards. The shapes fit themselves atop the map, then a bird's-eye view of a TV tower appears above the Tashkent area. The camera pans upwards and zooms closer to the TV tower (subsequently showing the aforementioned shapes being placed at different elevations over Uzbekistan) before the tower starts slowly spinning with the camera panning downwards. After that, the camera zooms out from the tower, which is spinning vertically clockwise, with the map of Uzbekistan zooming out behind the tower, now with all the shapes absent. The tower and map both stop in the center and 3D text reading

zooms out from the top and bottom respectively, both facing upwards before turning to face the screen.

2nd ID (1997-1999)

Visuals: On a black background, a 1 in the colors of the Uzbekistani flag zooms in. After a couple of seconds, "TV" with a light blue drop shadow zooms in and rises from the bottom before placing itself over the bottom of the 1. Before the text and number stop moving, two light balls fly up diagonally from opposite sides, crossing each other at the center.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: A slow brass fanfare.
