Background

TV3 (spelled as Tivi Tiga) is a Malaysian free-to-air television channel owned by Media Prima conglomerate. It was launched on June 1, 1984 as the country's first and oldest private television channel.

1st ID (June 1, 1984-December 31, 1986)

• 

ID: Against a space background, a blue lighting bolt strikes the center, followed by a red bolt. A colorful explosion then appears, followed by an outlined TV3 text made with outlines zooming in with trails. The trail then disappears, and the logo turns solid being split into several horizontal pieces. This also makes the T blue, the V yellow, and the 3 red. The text Sistem Televisyen Malaysia Berhad in white then fades in below the logo.

Technique: Scanimate.

Music/Sounds: A synth wave theme with a group of women singing the channel's name

Availability: Extinct.

2nd ID (January 1, 1987-1989)

• 
  Long variant
• Short variant
  Short variant

ID: Against a space background, three sets of two parallel lines in blue, yellow, and red (from top to bottom) enter the screen one by one. The set zooms in further before splitting horizontally. A skyline view of Kuala Lumpur (at the time) then fades in. As we pass by the buildings, the complete TV3 logo zooms in, along with Rangkaian Sukaramai written in cursive with a curved line under it. A light flashes at the top left of the T, the left of the bottom of the V, the top right and the bottom right of the 3. This cycle is repeated for the rest of the ident.

Variants:

• A slightly shorter variation of the long variant existed where the parallel lines fade out instead of splitting and leaving the screen.
• An alternate and short variation existed where the parallel lines enter the screen together starting from different positions. Once that's done, the Kuala Lumpur view appears as the parallel lines leave the screen and the TV3 logo zooms in. The lines then enter the screen and stay for a few seconds before leaving again as Rangkaian Sukaramai zooms in and sets its position. The pattern of the light flashing is different, where it flashes at the top left of the T, the bottom of the V, and the top right of the 3.

Technique: Same as before.

Music/Sounds: Same as before, but with "Untuk Anda!" added to the lyrics and the music being extended.

Music/Sounds Variant: The extended variation used a slightly different arrangement.

Availability: Extinct, but the alternate variation is preserved on a recording of a December 6, 1988 report of Berita TV3 uploaded by the official Bulletin TV3 YouTube channel.

3rd ID (1989-May 31, 1994)

• 
  Original variant (1989-May 31, 1992)
• 
  Later variant (June 1, 1992-May 31, 1994)
• 
  1991 Hari Raya Aidilfitri variant

ID: We begin with a view of the sea as a glass structure of the TV3 logo rises. We then zoom into the logo before it is shown fully again. As the logo gets its three colors, the background turns into a space background, and the slogan from before Rangkaian Sukaramai flies in. The logo then faces toward us as we pass by the stars.

Later Variant: Starting from June 1, 1992, just before the TV3 logo faces toward the screen, BERITA TERKINI and HIBURAN SENSASI fly in as a line forms horizontally between them.

Variant:

• An ident commemorating the end of Ramadan in 1411 of the Lunar Islamic calendar aired around April 1991. We pan to a window in a periwinkle-white gradient room with copies of the TV3 logo on it. We zoom to the outside, where we pan by a mosque into a grey background, where we see pictures of a Jawi-like symbol, a table with two Qurans, and an Islamic rug, followed by footage of Muslims in a mosque, a family having food, and a close-up of the food usually eaten on Eid al-Fitr. As we pan by a picture of an unidentified picture and a window containing footage of fireworks being played, we see ketupat and Islamic-related pictures fall and a green star-shaped Islamic symbol fly up. Selamat Hari Raya in a Jawi-styled writing zooms in and settles at the top of the screen as A I D I L F I T R I appears letter by letter at the center and the TV3 flies in and settles at the bottom as it shines.
• An ident commemorating the channel's 9th anniversary aired around June 1993. It features footage of multiple different programmes (Lightning Force, Mr. Bogus, Majalah Tiga, MacGyver, Pendekar, Seulas Pinang, and several more unspecified programmes) flying around on a periwinkle background. 1984 and 1993 fly in from the top and bottom respectively. They squeeze themselves and turn into a giant 9. The programmes stop spawning and ULANGTAHUN KE appears at the center of the screen as the background darkens. A brown-yellow kite flies in from the left to the center of the screen and settles behind the text, and the confetti stops falling. The parts of the TV3 logo fly in one by one at the bottom right of the kite.

Technique: 3D CGI produced in-house by the TV3 graphics department.

Music/Sounds: A synth tune that starts off as a calm rearrangement of the 1984 ident's music before evolving into a powerful one, followed by a group of women singing the channel's name.

Music/Sounds Variants:

• The 1991 Hari Raya variant uses a synth theme which ends with a short rendition of Selamat Hari Raya.
• The 9th anniversary variant uses a trumpet and synth theme.

Availability: Extinct, but it's preserved on various reports of Buletin Utama from the era uploaded by the official Bulletin TV3 YouTube channel.

4th ID (June 1, 1994-February 29, 2000)

• 
  Normal variant
• 
  Special variant (1995)

ID: Against a night sky background, we see a colorless, translucent pad resembling the shape of an analog TV screen fade in as we pan down to see a view of Kuala Lumpur from the time. Several blue, yellow, and red thick square-shaped light rays pass through the pad. Rays of light of the logo's colors pass through it twice before the Malaysian flag appears. The yellow and red parts of the flag begin rising, before revealing that it had turned into the TV3 logo. As the logo settles its position and the pad rotates, BERITA TERKINI HIBURAN SENSASI from the previous ident flies in.

Variant: A special variant from 1995 existed where we see a bird with colored feathers on its head fly and land at the left of the screen. The bird yells and looks at us before making a quieter sound. As the bird looks at us, the following text fades in:

SENTIASA
BERSAMA
TV3
Berita Terkini
Hiburan Sensasi

In the English version of this variant, the text is translated and the slogan is removed:

THE BEST
IS HERE
TO STAY
TV3

Technique: 3D CGI produced by APT with Steve Bristow and Goe Aun Hoe. This ident was produced with TDI, a French animation software that later became part of Alias, a software company which would later be acquired by Autodesk, Inc. in 2006.

Music/Sounds: An orchestral fanfare with a group of women singing the channel's name at the end.

Availability: See 3rd ID.

5th ID (March 1, 2000-2003)

• 
  Malay variant
• 
  English variant

ID: On a golden cloudy background, we see two texts reading the network's name. One of them is lowercase, outlined and is moving downwards starting from the left top of the screen. The other is uppercase, colored dark brown, duplicated, and is moving towards the left. Several texts of the company's name then appear by zooming out before fading away. The TV3 logo is then formed by moving lights as the clouds become darker. The logo glows and becomes more visible as the registered symbol fades in next to the top right of the logo. It then shrinks a bit and moves to the right as "Duniamu" appears at the top left one by one.

Variant: An English version existed where "Duniamu" is translated to "Your World".

Technique: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: First, we hear a choir accompanied by a xylophone tune. As the logo forms, conga sounds can be heard. After the logo becomes more visible, we hear two synthesized notes, with the first being the longest. At the end, we hear five chime notes.

Availability: Extinct, but it's preserved on two reports of Buletin Utama from the era uploaded by the official Bulletin TV3 YouTube channel.

6th ID (early 2000s?)

• 
• 

ID: There are two idents known to have aired on the channel:

• We see a giant ribbon colored blue, yellow, and red flying over some grassy mountains, followed by another one which flies over the first one. A third ribbon then flies over the farthest mountain and the two ribbons. The fourth ribbon flies towards us and transitions to reveal that a giant ribbon is wrapping around the Earth. As the Earth continues to be wrapped, the TV3 logo with THE ONE TO WATCH under it fades in at the top right of the screen.
• We see a silhouette of antennas and birds on small buildings. After one of the birds fly away to the left, blue, yellow, and red auroras appear in the night sky. Two more birds then fly away, and the TV3 logo fades in with PILIHAN TERBAIK (BEST CHOICE) underneath it

Technique: CGI made in association with Leo Burnett Company, an American advertising agency.

Music/Sounds:

• The Giant Ribbon ident uses a portion of The National Anthem by Radiohead.
• The Aurora ident uses the sounds of birds chirping and flying away, accompanied by audio of a few programs and a portion of Don't Look Back in Anger by Oasis.

Availability: Extinct.

7th ID (2003-May 31, 2006)

• 

ID: We see a view of a grassy field with bushes and pink, blocky trees as we see a quadrilateral fly in and several giant plants growing. A red ray of light flies in. We cut to another view of the field with a boy running around happily, swinging his arms as more quadrilaterals fly in. We then cut to a woman jumping for joy, followed by another shot of the field with two blue rays of light flying in and a close up view of the boy and women from before. After we cut to yet another view of the field, a yellow light flies in, and the screen flashes to a white background with blue, yellow, and red shapes flying around. The shapes then form the TV3 logo, and the registered trademark symbol fades in next to the top right of the logo.

Technique: A combination of live action and CGI.

Music/Sounds: A rock tune ending with an instrumental rendition of the "Tivi Tiga" jingle.

Availability: Extinct.

9th ID (June 1-December 31, 2008)

• 

ID: The ident begins with a scene of a family having fun and dancing while watching TV as one of the girls hold a microphone. The scenes then switch randomly, revealing other scenarios such as soccer being played with fans watching, four women dancing, and a girl having fun in a computer-generated world as she jumps for joy before riding on a carpet and sliding down a yellow-colored slide. Almost a second after the entire family from before is revealed, the screen zooms out as footage from multiple programs that aired on the channel pop up. After we zoom out a but further, the screens turn into the TV3 logo, which later faces the screen as the background turns white while the slogan from the time, Inpsirasi Hidupku and the registered symbol with a light behind it fade in.

Bumpers:

• Post-programme: On a black background, we see blue-tinted pads showing footage of an unspecified program, which fly in from the right to make a T. Yellow and red-tinted pads then fly in to form the rest of the TV3 logo as the background turns white, the logo turns solid, and the registered trademark symbol fades in.
• Pre-programme: On the same white background from before, we see the TV3 logo at the center of the screen. After we zoom in a bit, the background turns black, and the registered trademark symbol fades away. The logo turns into the pads from before, which begin to fly away to the right.

• 

ID:

• Daytime Variant: Against a grey background, we see many pink and red flowers with leaves growing. As we pass by them along with flying dandelion seeds, a bee, and a butterfly, we move the the forest with the sun in the distance far away and blue and purple flower trees growing, where we see a blue and a yellow bird holding the 3 from the channel's logo covered with flowers with teal ribbons. The birds fly into the sky, and we follow them. We pan down as the 3 falls and the flowers fly away to form the TV3 logo next to a tree. The logo shines.

12th ID (March 1, 2011-May 31, 2014)

• 
  Variasi (Variety) variant
• 
  Drama/Telefilem (Drama/Telefilm) variant

ID: Depending on the color of an interior background, we see several people having fun looking at and interacting with different types of floating cubes, depending on the ident. The idents end with the cubes flying to form the TV3 logo and the slogan from the time, Inspirasi Hidupku wipes in underneath the logo.

Later Variant: Starting from 2012, the logo formation is taken from the channel's 28th anniversary ident. As the blue, yellow, and red cubes uncover the logo, the icons of Facebook, Twitter, and Astro's channel number along with white text reading "TV3 MALAYSIA" fade in at the bottom of the screen, along with the channel's slogan and website link between them. The 28 would later be removed starting from 2013.

Variants:

We see a close-up of the boy touching the floating cubes before we cut to a room where the cubes pop out of a computer screen (which is displaying the channel's website from the time) in front of a man (possibly Ally Iskandar), who is seen surprised as the cubes fly. He is later seen chasing the cubes along with the same boy in the red shirt. We then cut to the same girl and mother from before, looking fascinated by the floating cubes. The aforementioned cubes form the TV3 logo, and three of them remain, which bounce towards us.
• Drama/Telefilem (Drama/Telefilm): TBA
• Kanak-Kanak (Kids): TBA
• Gaya Hidup/Wanita (Lifestyle/Women): The ident takes place in a magenta room which seems to resemble a kitchen, where we see four women at the counter. We cut to a close up of a woman dressed in white coming towards another woman who is at the table, followed by a close up of vegetables being chopped. The two women at the center of the counter then touch floating cubes textured pink solid and a table cloth. As we see multiple magenta cubes transition the scene to form the TV3 logo, floating textured light blue and pink cubes fly in to surround the logo and fall to the surface, aside from one of the pink cubes, which multiple smaller cubes appear and surround it to resemble a flower.
