1st ID (Analog, September 1, 1983-July 24, 2011)

Visuals:

Startup: On a ultraviolet blue background, a light is drawn from the right. A prism structure later rises from it. The prism later rises higher and higher to the beat of the jingle before airwaves come out forming the sea. After that, sparkles come out, forming the land. The sparkles later appear, forming the houses & trees before the sparkles reappear again, forming the three lands. After that a prism zooms in which cuts to a white background. The TV Aichi symbol, consisting of the word "TVA" in red appear zooming in one by one. The symbol later zooms out as the wordmark is put in place. Then, a blue screen appears, showing the channels the station is broadcasted at that time: channel 25 in Nagoya and channel 52 in Toyohashi.

Closedown: A prism zooms out to reveal the sea and land from the opening, but only one land appears. The land disappears as it zooms out to the prism, turning it red. Then, a wavy sheet representing the sunset appears. The background later turns black as the prism flies out, turning into a star, forming the TVA symbol. Following that, waves come out with the channels the station is broadcasted at that time: channel 25 in Nagoya and Channel 52 in Toyohashi and after that, the sparkles appear, while a white square appears, showing footage of the startup. The TV Aichi wordmark appears from the bottom until the background fades to white as the wordmark zooms in before fading to black.

Variant: Sometime during 1998, the startup and closedown were changed: instead of a blue screen appearing on the opening or the waves in the closing, it now fades to an entire list of the channels that TVA broadcasted at that time.

Technique: A mix of digital traditional, motion-controlled, Scanimate and CGI.

Audio: An upbeat light-hearted fanfare with a choir singing "TV Aichi".

Audio Variant: The closedown ident uses a gentle and soft rendition of the TVA fanfare from the startup.
