IDTV

Logo (1996?-unknown retirement year)

Visuals: The following appears on a dark blue watery background:

IDTV

"ID" is larger than "TV" and is partly before the underline. A blue registered mark is next to the "V". The water ripples throughout.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: None.

Availability: Unknown. [Examples?]

IDTV International

Logo (1999-2004)

Visuals: The following letters appear on a black background:

IDTV

The letters are in the same style as the IDTV logo, but without the underline or registered mark. Blue water waves are waving in a rectangle behind the letters, which wave as well. The letters then stop waving as this appears:

INTERNATIONAL

Behind the letters, a glowing white line draws itself, causing the water waves to disappear and turning the rectangle white-gray-black gradient. The line's glow begins to slightly turn blue as "IDTV" zooms in slightly and shines.

Variant: On the 1999 Dutch Lingo PC game, the logo is zoomed out. Once the white line starts to appear, the logo zooms out more and shifts upward; the line also completely turns blue. A longer version is also used where it turns on like a television set and the water waves reveal the "IDTV" text.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A synth choir, along with the sounds of waves crashing and birds chirping.

Availability: It appeared on 2002-2004 episodes of the Chuck Woolery-hosted Lingo on Game Show Network. It can also be found on the 1999 Dutch Lingo PC game.

ID&DTV Nederland

Logo (2000?-2001?)

Visuals: A modified still version of the end result of the IDTV International logo is seen on a black background. The rectangle is now white-teal gradient, and "GEPRODUCEERD DOOR" is above. The line is also now blue and this appears:

ID&DTV
N E D E R L A N D

The "&" is the same size as "TV", but is mostly before the line. "ID&DTV" also has shine marks. A registered mark is next to the "V".

Technique: A still, digital image.

Audio: None.
