1st ID (1988-1993)

Visuals: On a gray background with a ball of light, an abstract gray "nc" flips into view, and "schooltelevisie" appears next to it in a diagonal angle, then abruptly disappears. Part of the "nc" turns over, to reveal it being named "not". Then, the full name appears on the upper left corner.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A brief synth piano/marimba ditty.

2nd ID (1993-1996)


Visuals: On a sepia-toned sheet of paper as the background, various random letters are overlaid in the background. In front of it is a wooden yellow duck with four orange wheels around the sides wandering off the screen to the right, with a row of RGB spheres attached to a string moving at random directions (part of an abacus) sliding downwards, and a red drum with two red drumsticks. Footage of mostly children within a gray optical border slides to the right, then a red transparent arrow appears sliding downwards, with two navy windows drawing two houses and what appears to be a boat in a cyan water surface appearing as the arrow then points to the left as it slides to the current direction. The background inverts quickly before turning normal, as the border disappears, and the arrow changes to the opposite and fades. A border-less yellow pencil with a white tip draws in a square, in which footage of some sort of bug fades around it. Various footage fades from the background, including a presumed newspaper, some students at a presumed school, a close-up of a computer, a keyboard, a hand holding a metal part within circle sketches and various multicolored icosahedrons orbiting, then a ball-and-stick model. It leads to footage of a mushroom cloud with an aiming reticle pointing towards it, then fades to grayscaled footage of three persons with the borders blurred out. More footage fades, this time leading to two statues, one sketched and one in a golden model moving to the right, whilst footage of a raid of people riding galloping horses fade in, then leading to two footages, one which is of a pumpjack on the left, and a radio tower on the right, then directly fades to a fire casting towards the screen, before being enclosed by a faint circle shape with the continents. Behind it are four panels with footages/still pictures of the nature. Finally, the corresponding footages fade out as it leads to the "not" logo fade in, and the full name on the upper-left corner.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A light synth piano/marimba theme, composed by Stephen Emmer.
