Multiple stations

Logo: Superimposed over a colored background, there is a circle consisting of twelve stars made up of lines (supposedly resembling the 12 stars of the flag of the European Union) with the letters of the word "EUROVISION" put in between the stars. The broadcaster's logo appears at the center.

Variants: The style of the stars and the animation usually differs depending on the station it's being broadcasted in.

Technique: None for the most part. Starting in 1979, scanimate/CGI.

Music/Sounds: An orchestral trumpet theme, which is actually "Te Deum" by Charpentier. Each station has its own rendition of the theme.

Availability: Extinct.
