1st Logo (January 29, 2007-September 7, 2008)

Logo: On a black background, we see a lighthouse's light coming from the "i" in the "ion" logo. The light then forms the words "televis" next to "ion" and radial waves appear from it, changing the background to blue. The logo keeps shining for a few more seconds and the background changes back to black. Then, another wave turns the background back to blue, and then fades back again to black. A final wave turns the background blue again.

Technique: 3D animation.

Music/Sounds: A dreamy synth tune with a female announcer saying "Ion Television".

Availability: Extinct.
