1st ID (July 1, 1979-December 31, 2015)

Visuals:

• Startup (1979-2005): Against a white circle hole on a black background, there is a giant tree with two balls playing on a seesaw with the 1979 SDT wordmark, consisting of the words SDT in a futuristic-style font on the top left while the 1979 SDT Japanese wordmark, consisting of the words "静岡第一テレビ" in a futuristic and cubic-style text, both in white appears in the middle alongside the words "ふれあい だいいち". Then, after the symbol and wordmark disappear a light brightens revealing the tree's green color as some doves fly into it. The bottom ground is then, decorated with flowers and two dogs later run around and look over it before the land starts to rain as more animals are gradually added, followed by a rainbow as more animals are later added. After that, the tree grows some oranges before turning orange to represent summer, and later into white to represent winter with some snowflakes appearing as they fall down. After that, the land turns back to green as the station information plays at the bottom before the dogs and the other two balls disappear before the camera pans up to reveal the 1979 SDT symbol, consisting of an orb with two sides representing the land and sky respectively alongside the callsign "JOSX-TV" and the SDT Japanese wordmark in black on a white background as the symbol shines.
• Closedown (1979-2005): After the land transitions from its winter background, to its normal green background, the sky after darkens to a starry sky while the station information plays out. After that, the camera pans to the 1979 SDT symbol, its callsign and Japanese wordmark, in white on a starry sky as the symbol shines before fading to black.
• Startup (2005-2011): After the tree pans up, the background fades to white to reveal a shot of SDT's transmitter in Shizuoka as the callsigns "JOSX-TV/JOSX-DTV" and the 1979 SDT Japanese wordmark, in italics and blue appears before fading as the station information then appears at the bottom while a message appears stating that SDT's broadcast day is about to start.
• Closedown (2005-2015): After the tree pans up, the background fades to blue to reveal a shot of the entrance to SDT's headquarters as the callsigns "JOSX-TV/JOSX-DTV" and the 1979 SDT Japanese wordmark, in blue and italics appears before fading to the station information as the camera fades into a shot of the headquarters from above while the station information appears before fading to reveal the word "おやすみなさい".

Variant: Around 2011, the analog callsign was omitted and the callsign now displays "JOSX-DTV" in bold with the 1979 SDT Japanese wordmark added at the bottom.
