Background

O'zbekiston Television, otherwise simply referred to as O'zbekiston, is the flagship national channel of Uzbekistan, 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.

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: The background consists of snowflakes of varying sizes falling over a blue-black background. On the foreground is a zoomed-in oval with a thin white outline. The oval, which shows a blue tinted video of two people riding horses on a field, is placed on the bottom-left corner and covers most of the bottom, right and center parts of the screen. Several vertical rectangles shift across the oval as a series of thin vertical lines spin in a horizontal clockwise direction at the top. An imposed clip of the aforementioned horseriders expands from a series of vertical lines near the bottom-right corner before another series of vertical lines immediately shifts across the left-hand side of said clip. A video showing an ants eye view of a tower fades into the imposed rectangle juse as a glassy vertical paralellogram shaped 1 with a thin horizontal line running across the middle fades in on the left of the clip. The top half of the 1 is silver-gray and the bottom half is teal with a chrome texture with "TV" inside. Below the spinning lines, ""O'ZBEKISTON"" fades in whilst sliding to the right, accompanied with "TELEKANALI" appearing in the same manner, albeit sliding to the left.

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-late 2000s?)

• 

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.

5th ID (2006-2009)

•

• 

Visuals: The sequence starts with three different shots of a structure over a blue background, which all transition via two series of transparent vertical lines sliding from the left. A sequence of two white squares on the top and bottom flashes from right to left throughout each ident, accompanied with an intricately drawn frame and faint yellow flowing ribbon. After the second set of lines passes through, on the bottom of the screen, three navy blue rectangles slide from the center to the right before a rectangle with a thick horizontal line forms itself by sliding in the same direction. "O'ZBEKISTON" flashes inside the rectangle letter by letter, then "TELERADIOKANALI" fades in below. As this happens, the right third of the background fills with a darker shade of blue as three vertical yellow lines, each of varying thickness, slide in from the left over the background's remaining two-thirds. Behind the lines is a yellow background, which subsequently fills the left part.

Variants:

• Four landmarks are showcased in each ident:
  • Registan Square
  • Barak-Khan Madrasah
  • Khast Imam Mosque
  • Tashkent Tower
• An extended variant of the Registan Square ident exists: the sequence shows six different shots of the landmark, the first five starting off as b&w sketches before the colors and shading are spilled on.

Technique: A mix of live action and 2D computer effects.

Audio: A wind blowing coupled with tolling bells, followed with a traditional Central Asian style piece.

Audio variant: Unknown.

6th ID (2009-2010)

• 

Visuals: A horizontal bar filled and surrounded with a gold Central Asian-style floral pattern draws itself in over a blue-white aurora background. The sequence then transitions to a blue-white aurora backround via a horizontal crop opening. Three sets of an image of Uzbekistan accompanied with a spinning floral pattern to the right and a shrinking blue rectangle at the top slide in horizontally. The image from the last set flips away as three images, each showing an Uzbekistani landmark, place themselves to the center from the top left corner. The images rapidly zoom in before a kaleidoscopic series of gold floral patterns zoom toward the center. An intricate gold pattern draws itself in on the left and right sides as the logo ("O'ZBEKISTON" placed over a blue, white and green curve) zooms in.

Technique: A mix of live action and CGI animation.

Audio: A sequence of synthesized beeps accompanying a traditional stringed tune.

7th ID (2010-2012)

• 
• 

Visuals: The sequence plays out in a similar fashion to the 5th idents, albeit with some notable differences: several vertical white bars can be seen briefly flashing or wiping across the screen throughout each ident, the blue bar in the background now only covers the right quarter, the solid yellow background is omitted and an intricate gold pattern draws itself in on the blue quarter as soon as the company name appears.

Variants: Unknown.

Technique: A mix of live action and 2D computer effects.

Audio: Same as the 5th ident.

8th ID (2011-2012)

• 
• 
• 
• 

Visuals: Pieces of the network's old logo spin and zoom out individually, forming itself in front of a rotating Central Asian-style pattern. The sequence is then transitioned via a kaleidoscopic effect, to which six images of Uzbekistan's landmarks are displayed. Another kaleidoscopic transition appears afterwards, which shows the network's then-current logo inside a dark blue orb placed in front of a light blue kaleidoscope. "telekanali" wipes itself in beneath the logo before the kaleidoscope and orb fade out, changing the background to a black field with blue ribbons and yellow light specks.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The same music from the 6th ident.

12th ID (2014-2015)

• 

Visuals: On a blue background, three ribbons (blue, white and green from top to bottom) fly in from the left side of the screen, zooming out in the process. The ribbons quickly fly to the right and zoom back in before making their way offscreen, to which the channel logo appears in the center from behind via turning left. White particles of varying sizes and opacities flicker along the left half of the ident.

Technique: CGI animation.

Audio: Three held synth notes and a whoosh as the ribbons zoom in.

13th ID (2015-2016)

• 
• 
• 

Visuals: The camera pans past a closeup shot of a series of hexagons with traditional Central Asian floral patterns shifting up and down individually. Said hexagons are arranged to form a larger hexagon with a thin gold outline. Another closeup shot is shown, this time of the text "O'ZBEKISTON" in gold. Another closeup shot of the text is followed, this time with the camera panning past it. It then cuts to a zoom out shot of "O'ZBEKISTON" placed in front of an array of white hexagon outlines to the right and a large hexagon on the left. Below the text to the right is "telekanali" in gold and in front of both words are four transparent hexagons.

Variants:

• Sometimes, the sequence would start with live-action footage before transitioning to a zoom-out shot of the logo.
• The large patterened hexagon is omitted in some idents, showing only a blue background and the channel name.
• The patterened hexagon may appear larger and be placed in the center.
• Unknown.

Technique: CGI animation, occasionally following from live action video footage.

• 
• 
• 

Visuals: A series of light blue ribbons fly in from the left and gradually reach the center. Once making its way, a light blinks and the ribbons quickly fly to the right. From the center, "O'ZBEKISTON" in silver zooms in and rotates right to face the screen, followed with "telekanali" below appearing in the same manner, albeit rotating left. The text slightly zooms out and places itself as the ribbons fly offscreen.

Variants: Unknown.

Technique: CGI animation.

Audio: Unknown.

16th ID (2018-2019)

• 

Visuals: Each ident starts with live-action footage playing in the background, accompanied with a spiralling silver ribbon that expands at the bottom. On the foreground, two large, transparent circles are seen moving across the bottom. The background then transitions to a blue background via a ripple effect. Throughout the sequence, there is a glossy ribbon in the colors of Uzbekistan's national flag with its top end trailing away in the distance, accompanied with stacked chrome text "O'ZBEKISTON telekanali" placed underneath. A lens flare wipes itself down the left side of the ribbon before the sequence finishes.

Technique: CGI and live action.

Audio: A somber electronic drum and synth beat, paired with a stringed instrument midway.
