Fuji Television Network
1st logo (1993-1998 )
Nicknames: "The Eye", "FCI"
Logo: A silver shape flies backwards and in a turning motion. It is revealed to be an abstract drawing of a eye with three eyelashes and a round pupil that stops in the middle of the black screen and "twinkles". As the small flash from the "twinkle" shrinks away, the screen turns white and the eye changes color as well (the pupil turns red, and the rest black). Above and below the eye, blocks of "static" turn into words in blue-colored letters. Above it is "FUJI TELEVISION NETWORK, INC." Below the eye is, "FUJI CREATIVE CORPORATION".
Variants: On later seasons on Iron Chef, this logo's text differs a bit from above. The animation is still the same, but only "FUJI TELEVISION NETWORK, INC." fades in below.
FX/SFX: The eye logo turning, the screen changing colors, and the words appearing.
Music/Sounds: A dreamy chiming sound. Ends with a synthesized ring.
Availability: Uncommon. Was seen at the end of Iron Chef (the original series, not Iron Chef USA) when they last aired on the Food Network and the Cooking Channel. The Iron Chef variant can also be seen on Japanese airings of Thomas & Friends.
Editor's Note: None.
