Background

KRO, or Katholieke Radio Omroep (Catholic Radio Broadcasting), was a Dutch public broadcasting organization founded on 23 April 1925. In 2014, it had merged with a fellow broadcaster, NCRV, to create KRO-NCRV, but, like NCRV, it's technically still active.



1st ID (1950s-1969)

Visuals: On a sky background, we fly through the clouds on the shot of a Dutch town. The sequence then fades to a different sky, where the logo zooms in, which is "KRO" in a plus shape with the "R" as the middle of the crossroads of both copies. It is encased in a diamond with a border and shapes around it. The background fades out, followed by the logo.

Technique: Live action and cel-animation.

Audio: An orchestral tune with a dramatic finish.

2nd ID (1969-1974)


Visuals: On a black background, there is a round orange border. Inside it, various shapes are seen flipping, changing colour, and appearing at random times. After the tune loops, "KRO" in Computer Regular appears letter by letter as the shapes disappear. The text "nederland I" or "nederland II" appears in the lower left side of the border.

Technique: Cel animation.

Audio: An 8-bit chip tune that repeats twice.

3rd ID (1974-1977)

Visuals: On a black background, a different shape is seen being formed. Inside it are moving arrows. The outline shrinks and forms a conformable shape, then forming a white space where orange forms up. It creates a plus shape and spreads apart, forming a yellow space. The new KRO logo, which is a "KRO" arranged in a plus shape, with the "R" acting as a negative space, which is also a homage to the first logo, appears. "nederland I/II" then appears below it.

Technique: Scanimation.

Audio: A cheerful-sounding chip tune.

4th ID (1977-1981)

Visuals: On a black background, several square grids zoom in in different colours in 2 arrangements and fold away 4 times. When the blue grid zooms in, they form one solid grid and then green grids come into the centre. They form a small white border with the KRO logo in it, emitting red pulses. It then clears away the grid, turning the border green and making it zoom towards the screen.

Technique: Scanimation.

Audio: A disco-esque tune with trumpets and a chorus.

5th ID (1981-1982)

Visuals: On a sky blue background, various lines wipe in and spread around in between white triangles. A white section wipes in, followed by the same logo from before.

Technique: Scanimation.

Audio: A harpsichord tune.

6th ID (1982-1985)

Visuals: Same as the previous logo, but the animations take place on a 3D grid on a blue background, and the logo is white.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: Same as the previous logo.

8th ID (1988-1992)

Visuals: On a black background, several purple lines draw above a marble floor. The camera then pans through the lines and scans under the floor, where footage of people doing various activities is shown. After 30 seconds, the camera flies out to get a straight shot of the new logo, which is the same concept as the previous logo, but the logo is more in line with the first logo, except without the border and the logo is in a much more round font. The logo shines.

9th ID (1992-1997)
