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

ЎЗБЕКИСТОН

ТЕЛЕВИДЕНИЕСИ

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

Technique: CGI animation.

Audio: A high-pitched seven-note MIDI piece accompanied with a high-pitched synth bell jingle, both of which loop twice.

Availability: This was likely used as the network's closedown ID during the era.

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.

3rd ID (1999-2002)

Visuals: Unknown.

Technique: 2D computer animation mixed with live action.

Audio: A peaceful traditional tune.

Availability: So far, there is only footage of the winter variant, implying that there are other seasonal variants that are currently lost.

4th ID (2002-2006)

Visuals: On a blue background, a rectangle displaying a sequence of video clips of Uzbekistan zooms in. Once it's in place, two more rectangles displaying said types of clips horizontally slide from behind the center rectangle in opposite directions. As this happens, two yellow lines (one on the top-left corner and the other on the bottom-right) draw themselves in to form an abstract floral pattern. Both shapes cast a low-opacity white shadow behind them. Eventually, the two rectangles slide back behind the center before rotating 180° to the left, revealing the network's logo. A circular Central Asian style pattern zooms out and encloses the logo whilst slowly turning in a clockwise direction.

Technique: A mix of live action and CGi animation.

Audio: A pop-type tune played on a piano with accompanying chime bells and rhythmic computerized beeps.
