Background:
New Zealand on Air (Iriangi TE Motu in Maori) is a broadcast funding agency focused on funding New Zealand programs. It was formed in 1989.
1st Logo (1992-2000)
Nicknames: ''Eric the Goldfish'', "Maori to English"
Logo: On a black background, the text "Inirangi TE MOTU" is seen in white, all stacked up and separated by 3 waves, in red, blue, and green respectively. All of them move slightly and the bottom wave has the English translation "New Zealand On Air". The words then flip to their sides, with a slight delay between them, and leave the screen blank for a bit before the English version flips in with a similar effect. Now the text reads "NZ ON AIR" with the waves adjusted to the new words and the Maori translation is seen on the green wave.
Variants:
- The logo would often have "With the help of your Broadcasting Fee" at the bottom of the screen.
- The logo would sometimes turn to reveal the network's logo that the show was made by before or after.
- An in-credit variation in the ending credits of Oscar and Friends occurs with the Broadcasting Fee info still appearing after the logo turns over to the TV3 logo from this era.
- Another variant exists where the text's animation takes place on the upper corner, and Eric the Goldfish (NZ on Air's advertising mascot during this logo's lifespan) appears wiping in the words "With the Help of your Broadcasting Fee." and also blows some bubbles while he does that position.
FX/SFX: The waves moving, the flipping transition. Eric wiping in the text on the variant.
Music/Sounds: Mainly, an announcer would be heard saying ''(This) [SHOW/PROGRAMME/MOVIE] was (''[a/an] produced/made by/at [PRODUCTION COMPANY NAME] production/studios [LOCATION]'') made for [NETWORK NAME] with the help of your broadcasting fee, so you can see more of New Zealand on Air."
- Example on TVOne/TV2: Regular animation until it turns over to the late-90's TVOne/TV2 logo/s with a TVOne/TV2 announcer narrating "This program was made for TVOne/TV2 with the help of your broadcasting fee, so you can see more of New Zealand on Air."
- Eric only: A variant exists with Eric the Goldfish (voiced by Peter Howley) narrating the credit. Sometimes, in Maori, it is ''Hanga tēnei hōtaka i ki te awhina o koutou Fee Broadcasting, kia taea e koe te kite atu, o Aotearoa I te rangi."
Availability: Very rare. Seen on shows of the era funded by NZ on Air.
Editor's Note: None.
2nd Logo (2000-2010)
Nicknames: "The Ferns", "Maori to English II"
Logo: On a CGI shot of ferns with light pouring out of the gaps, the Maori NZ On Air logo can be seen rendered in CGI, this time in black and more defined waves. There is also a grey oblong with ''A tatou waiata, o matou kōrero, to tatou ano.'' below it as well. The camera then tilts a bit downwards as the ferns slowly rotate to the left, before the text flips over to the English version. A flash of sunlight in the background can also be seen and the camera settles as the Maori translates into English: "Our stories, our songs, our selves."
FX/SFX: Same, only the scene changing directions as well as the camera turning.
Music/Sounds: A chime and guitar along with an announcer narrating that ''(This [SHOW/PROGRAMME/MOVIE] was made with funding from New Zealand on Air.'' or ''Thank You/mihi, New Zealand On Air, for helping us make [SHOW NAME].'' or in Maori, it is: "Hanga i tenei whakaaturanga i te pūtea i hou o Aotearoa I te rangi."
Availability: Uncommon. Mostly seen on many 2000-2010 produced shows, movies, or documentaries that have been made during that area with funding from New Zealand on Air.
Editor's Note: None.
3rd Logo (2008-)
Nicknames: "Audio Waves", "The Hills and Valley"
Logo: On a black background, cyan audio waves draw out as a few form an oblong shape. A few more multicolored ones start to emerge as a few more audio waves draw across the screen and the wave starts to draw in letters. The sun rises over silhouetted mountains and helps form up the rest of the new logo. It consists of 2 cut-off hill shapes, going from orange to blue, which form a valley below. "NZ On Air" can be seen in a large rounded font, with the Maori translation below in smaller print. The waves then eventually disappear and the logo shines a bit.
FX/SFX: The audio, mountain, and the words.
Music/Sounds: Xylophone music, as well as an announcer, narrating ''Supporting local content so you can see more of New Zealand on Air.'' Sometimes, the announcer would say "This program was made with funding from New Zealand on Air." Sometimes there would be no announcer at all.
Availability: Current.
Editor's Note: None.
