Background

Israel broadcaster Keshet Broadcasting made its first way into the international market with the debut of the series Phenomeon on NBC in 2007. Keshet International was established in 2012 and is led by chief executive officer Alon Shtruzman. The company has subsidiaries in the United States (Keshet Studios), the United Kingdom (Keshet Productions and Greenbird), Hong Kong (Keshet Asia), and Germany (Tresor and Keshet Tresor Fiction) that develop and produce Keshet properties with local talent, and a distribution hub in Asia.

Nicknames: "Rainbow TV Tube", "Keshet TV Tube"

Logo: On a white background, we see a silver 3D TV tube, with rainbow colors moving around. We then see the text "KESHET" in a 3D font appearing on the TV tube blurring in, as the rainbow colors stop.

Variants:

• Sometimes, the logo can appear close-up.
• On $9.99 and The Ex-List, a still version of the logo is shown on a black background.
• On Traffic Light, the logo is almost still with only the rainbow colors moving. It's also next to the Kuperman Productions logo.

FX/SFX: The rainbow moving and the text blurring.

Music/Sounds: None or the opening/end theme of the movie/show. Original airings used a generic theme and a voiceover.

Availability: Seen on early Keshet-produced US shows, such as the three short-lived series Phenomenon, The Ex-List, and Traffic Light, and more commonly on Homeland. Also seen on the 2008 film $9.99. Even though after the fourth logo was introduced, Homeland continued to use the logo until its fifth season. It's also seen on all episodes of Tyrant in place of the 3rd and 4th logos.

Editor's Note: None.
