Background
France 3 is a public TV channel owned by France Télévisions.
Third Channel of RTF
(1972-1975)
Logo: The logo starts with a field of stars. The stars then change to the ORTF logo and the background becomes white. It then turns into the letters "c3". It then zooms in on one of them while circles appear from behind and stripes appear to the right. It then zooms in on the above space of the "3", showing the word "couleur". After that the logo gets a perspective. It then puts us into a white field full of "c3" logo's showing the word "couleur". Then the background turns blue with a few lines on the side. Then we see then the second "u" that moves to the first one, forming a "3". After that the "o" loses a stripe and becomes a "c". Then it zooms in again while circles appear from behind and the word "3e chaine couleur".
Variant: There is a closedown variant that plays the logo in reverse.

France Regions 3
1st Logo (1975-1985)
Logo: On a black background, we see a cerulean eye-like shape, which becomes a hexagon and then a "3" that slightly zooms out while a world map highlighting all the French territories appears. The "3" then fades as the map becomes blue and fades out, and a drawing of the map of France zooms in while the words "FRANCE REGIONS" appear. Then trapezoids in multiple colors (clockwise top-to bottom: yellow, orange, purple, red, green and blue) appear around it, forming a hexagon. Then the drawing of France disappears, the text turns into the outline of the eye-like shape, all of the trapezoids slowly turn blue, and "FR3" sppears on the center of the hexagon.

It then zooms in slightly below the structure. Then the FR3 logo appears from below while a light writes in the words "BONNE NUIT" ("GOOD NIGHT" in French).

3rd Logo (1986-1989)

The logo rotates a little and zooms in on the abstract "3" while the rest of it disappears, and the "3" zooms in and splits from the screen. After it we see sea-related video clips followed by scenes from a concert and various clips of reporters and journalists getting ready to communicate and recording various events. When the montage ends, the "3" logo closes again and zooms out to its original place.
Variant: There is a closedown variant where we see people turning off the lights and going home, the studio closing, and even a scene of Goofy getting in bed from the Goofy short "How to Sleep".

4th Logo (1989-1991)
Logo: We first see the FR3 logo on top, separated by a bar with the slogan "Le relief de la vie" ("The relief of life") below. The line opens to reveal two screens with blinking eyes in them as both texts move outwards and fade out, while other screens with the same image also open up, until there are twelve of them. It then zooms in on one of them while the logo and slogan both fade in below the eyes.
Variant: There is a closedown variant where the logo gets played in reverse.

Then a scene of a walking couple is shown, the woman stares and smiles at the screen and the FR3 logo and the text "la télé pour de vrai" ("television for real") both appear below.
