Background

Feduco (Stichting Federatie Educatieve Omroep) was founded in 1982 as a partnership of broadcasters and educational institutions. It's first broadcast took place on August 31, 1983. Feduco broadcast from 1983 to 1989 to promote adult education. The broadcaster has been specifically given the task of designing and preparing a more definitive structure for educational broadcasting in the Netherlands. In addition, it has also been given the important task of providing information to ethnic minorities in the form of television programs and radio broadcasts. Feduco was dissolved in 1989. After the dissolution, the broadcasting time was divided among NOS, RVU and Teleac. The section Medelanders Nederlanders has gone to NOS, Werken aan werk to RVU and Open Schooltijd to Teleac.

1st ID (1983-1986)

Visuals: On a blue background, a white slanted rectangle wipes in, then wipes into a gray color and reveals the word "FEDUCO". The full name then wipes in below.

Variants:

  • At the start of Open Schooltijd training programs, the logo wipes in, and then the full name appears one by one. The logo zooms back to make room for the text:
GEPRODUCEERD DOOR


TELEAC


to zoom in underneath. There's also a version with "IN OPDRACHT VAN" underneath "TELEAC".

  • An end slate has the logo shown still with "EINDE" below.
  • When the logo's animation finishes, the logo of the current broadcaster might show next or above the logo. Two of them exist:
    • RVU: The logo is shown small with the full name. It is separated by a white bar which above it has the broadcaster's logo with "educatieve omroep" next to it.
    • Teleac: Two sky blue bars fade between the full name, and the logo fades before fading back, now with the broadcaster's logo in a white rectangle next to it.
