=== Background ===
 
'''Ka 2''' started out in 1995 as a TV channel from Belgium. It has later gone in various name changes, those being '''Kanaal 2''' in 1996, '''KANAALTWEE''' in 2003, '''2BE''' in 2008, '''Q2''' in 2016, and '''VTM 2''' in 2020, which is currently being used.

'''Note: The startup variant is seen in the first video around 0:30.'''
 
'''Visuals:''' Same as VTM's logo; however, the background is red, a "'''{{color|red|2}}'''" is in place of the "'''vtm'''" logo at the start, and a smaller "'''{{color|red|2}}'''" is added next to the logo.
'''Nicknames:''' "The Belgian Fire Logo", "Rise of Kanaal 2", "Ka2 Physics", "Belgium's Most Beautiful Random Logo"
 
'''Variant:''' There is a later variant where a model of the "'''{{color|red|2}}'''" is shown on a red surface with a red light surrounding it in an lower left isometric view. The scene fades to show the lower right isometric and front views of the numeral. The scene then fades to show the "'''vtm'''" logo with the "'''2'''" in white next to it. Two glowing streaks are around the logo, and fade away. The logo is also on a red gradient background.
'''Logo:''' On a black background, an explosion occurs from one of two squares, bringing up fire, which then starts to engulf the screen. The screen then turns yellow, and the words "'''Dit is'''" appear in white, as we cut to the Kanaal 2 logo from the time, which is two squares (one purple and one yellow), with a yellow "'''Ka'''" on the purple square and a purple "'''2'''" on the yellow square.
 
'''Technique:''' CGI designed by Gédéon.
'''Variants:'''
 
'''Audio:''' Two echoed trumpet notes and an electronic rendition of VTM's three-note jingle.
* An even more different version of the logo was used when the channel starts up. In order, we fade from the countdown screen and a yellow box with the orange letters "Ka" fade in from bottom right to top left, zooming in a bit We then see a closeup of an orange shape flashing, with the cut-out part looking like the silhouette of the 2. Then, fire lights up from the right side of the screen, and we cut to an orange background submerged in water, with water bubbles floating from left to right. Then, we see some gold film, a bit of it tearing up to see a gold box with a small purple 2 in it. We then cut to light appearing on the 2 in 2 different shots, getting brighter, the first shot showing the bottom of the 2, blue and the second shot being the full view, orange. Fire on the left side them dies out and we see some gold film flying from right to left, shining a bit. A reverse effect of red paint splashing on a blue backdrop is seen at a close-up shot, then purple silk flies up from the screen as we see 2 boxes, the same "Ka" box as before, being small, now purple with golden letters and the large one being covered in gold film. Another close-up shot of reverse-splashing paint, this time yellow is seen on the same backdrop as the one for the red paint, and we then cut to a yellow background submerged underwater, with water bubbles descending., with more close-up shots of reverse paint splashes (now with pink paint on top of some red paint). We cut back to the water bubbles shrinking on a blue background, then zoom out from a blue box with the yellow "Ka", covered in water droplets. An explosion occurs on a box, then we see the same flashing 2 box as before, dimming down, with the 2 flashing blue and vice versa (the flashing background being blue), and we see a reversed clip of green paint splashing on the top half of the3D 2. An orange rectangular box lights up, and the same purple "Ka" box is seen with gold film flying past. The fire on the left side lights up again, then the rest of the gold film flies off the large box as explained earlier, revealing a golden, metallic box with a small purple 2. We then see a shot of paint hitting the same 3D 2 (now mot in reverse). After that, we see the Ka2 logo (in print) at the top right corner with a light scribbling all over the screen, leaving a trail as some of that trail fades away. After all of that, we end with a shot of an explosion appearing in a box, then another shot of an explosion approaching the camera. Then, a red square with a yellow "'''2'''" zooms out, and we see a yellow square with a red "'''Ka'''" while the red square places. Fire is seen behind the red square once it finishes placing.
* In between commercial breaks a variant was used with only the color-changing from the startup variant.
* Before announcing the <nowiki>''</nowiki>kultuuragenda<nowiki>''</nowiki> the scene with the flying ribbons from the start-up variant would play.
* The closedown variant shows the splashing of paint in a reverse order. After which the lights get turned off to see the logo in the dark.
* There were also variants used on their sister channel VTM that indicated what programming there was on their channel and which is very likely dependent on the season of the broadcast. The spring introductory variant introduces and ends the program schedule with electric flashes, the summer variant introduces it with a projected film of people on the beach trying to beat up and ends with a zoomed-in version of the projection, with at the end the logo against a black background.
 
'''FX/SFX:''' The explosion, the fire. For the startup variant, the water, fire, light effects, logo showcasing, ribbons, drawing, paint splattering, zooming in and out, transitioning to and from aforementioned sequences... pretty much everything, in a somewhat impressive mix of live action and CGI. These idents were made by Lambie-Nairn.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' A creepy choral theme which sounds jumbled and keeps coming to a halt, and two beatbox bass drum sounds at the end. For the startup variant, a lot of confusing sounds like a female choir, laser sounds, slamming, and a deeper male choir are incorporated. In the middle you might hear the same female choir and a sample from another part of the music being reversed, and more confusing sounds everywhere. The choral theme and the two bangs are also used. After the grueling startup, there is an announcer speaking in Dutch. He says, "This is Kanaal 2. Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, and welcome. What does our opening evening look like?". This is followed by the nighttime programming announcements or news broadcasts. The VTM spring programming scheme variant however only has the sound of the sizzling of electricity and the VTM summer programming scheme variant only the sound of the playing of a projector.
 
'''Availability:''' Extinct.
 
'''Editor's Note:''' The startup version of this logo is very notorious for lacking rhyme and reason, being perceived as random and creepy. It is also known for it's long length, clocking in at over 1 minute. The other variations of the logo are much tamer.

'''Note: The normal variant is seen at 0:33.'''
 
'''Logo:''' On a beach a brown woman in pink bikini to the right of the picture sits while she turns her head to face the viewer. To the left of the picture the Kanaal Twee logo is visible.

* In some variants, that same woman first sees the viewer and then turn her head back to her original position.
* The closedown contains a picture of palm trees, a running women in a pink bikini suit, a jumping half-naked man, the legs of a women in red bikini and high heels while sea water pours through her legs and finally a women in yellow bikini jumping out of the sea while the logo forms itself.
* The VTM programming variant slightly tilts the image of the program after behind which the logo gets visible.
 
'''FX/SFX:''' Mostly live-action.
 
'''Music/Sounds:'''
 
* A combination between harp and synth for the first 2 logo's.
* The closedown contains a theme on an electric guitar with, when the logo is about to form, a singer gingen "This is Kanaal Twee". It also contains a "woosh" sound and the sound of poured water.

'''Nicknames:''' "The Weird Stick Characters' Logo(s)", "Belgian Black Comedy"
 
'''Logo:''' Not as much one logo, but a collection of logo's to introduce a commercial block. The logo first appears in the below-left corner and then would function as a head of a stick figure, while the below left corner would show the letter "'''R'''". The stick figure would then be part of a visual gag, the most common being that everyday things would subject them a form of decapitation, but more benign gags (such as an old lady dancing) were also used. At the end of the commercial block, another gag (which sometimes does have continuity with the previous one, but other times would not), would be used, but the "'''R'''" is immediately in place and the head would be put into its original place. These logo's definitely are violent, but not gory. This all takes place on a single color background with shadows for objects.
 
'''Variant:'''
 
* Later ones would introduce a cube in the mix that would absorb the stick figures into them, hinting a possible logo change.
* Even later ones would after the event transform themselves into the 2BE logo, with the byline "Formerly known as "Kanaal Twee".
 
'''FX/SFX:''' All the 2D animation on these logos/idents.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' Lots of grumbling and moaning. Sometimes music would be used fitting in with the joke.
 
'''Availability:''' Extinct.
 
'''Editor's Note:''' The darkly humorous nature of some of the IDs made them somewhat notorious.
