Visuals:

• Startup: On a black background, the Moon is shown moving from the near-center out to the top-right while a nebula glow appears at the center. The nebula soon fades into a spinning Earth globe with turquoise-colored landmasses. A blue-glowing star then appear at the top of the globe and begins forming a blue circular line around it, as the background fades into another background consisting of several spinning globe maps (including another copy of the turquoise-colored globe). The globe suddenly morphs into a blue half-sphere which turns into the shape of an eye iris with a highlight near the top-right side. The formed logo slightly zooms in, and the black names of the company, "民視電視公" in Chinese and "FORMOSA TELEVISION" in English below, fade in below the logo.
• Closedown: On the same moving globe background but tinted in cerise, a orchid-colored Earth globe with translucid sea masses, wireframes and darker-colored landmasses, comes out near the top and moves towards the center, before it is taken over by two forming parts of a blue sphere as it moves upward. Once it reaches the top of the screen, the parts of the sphere separate and move away while the iris shape of the logo is revealed. The star then appears forming the blue circle outline around the iris, as the background changes to a dark blue color with a white glow and a ripple emerging near the bottom. Below the logo, the white texts "今日節目已全部播映完畢" and "謝謝收看" appear fading in.
